Everything a company blog needs, in one blogging CMS

Ranken is a next-generation blogging CMS: a clean editor, hosting on your domain, subdomain or /blog, built-in SEO, fast indexing, AI search readiness and an optional agent writer.

A blogging CMS built for company blogs

Ranken gives your team one place to write, organize and publish. Draft in a clean editor, group posts into categories, credit authors and schedule articles on a calendar, then publish to a blog that matches your brand.

Templates styled with your logo, colors and fonts
Categories, author profiles and a publishing calendar
Table of contents, bylines and share buttons on every article

Host it on a custom domain, a subdomain or /blog

Put the blog wherever it fits your website: a custom domain, a subdomain such as blog.yourcompany.com or a subfolder such as yourcompany.com/blog. A subfolder keeps every backlink and ranking signal on your main domain.

Hosting and SSL included, nothing to install
Step-by-step setup for subdomains and subfolders
Fast pages served as clean HTML

A live SEO score on every article

Each article gets a score out of 100 while you edit. Ranken checks the title, meta description, keyword placement, headings, content depth and readability, then shows which fix adds the most points.

Clear pass, warning and fail states for each check
Suggestions written in plain language, not SEO jargon

Fast indexing and index tracking

Ranken lists every article with its publishing and indexing status, so you always know which pages Google has picked up. Request indexing in one click instead of waiting for the next crawl.

XML sitemap generated and updated automatically
Status for each article: not submitted, submitted or indexed
Canonical URLs on every page to avoid duplicate signals

Structured to be cited by AI search

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews answer questions by quoting short passages from pages they can crawl. Ranken serves every article as fast, server-rendered HTML with schema markup and an llms.txt file, and its SEO checks push you toward clear, question-led sections that are easy to quote.

Article and Organization structured data on every post
Readable by AI crawlers that do not run JavaScript
No tool can guarantee a citation, so Ranken focuses on the signals engines actually use

Turn readers into leads

Add a button or an email form anywhere inside an article. Readers who arrive from search can book a demo, download a resource or start a trial without leaving the page.

Reusable call-to-action blocks
Place them anywhere in the post
Works with every blog template

An agent writer, when you want a hand

The agent writer is an optional feature of the CMS. Give it a topic or let it look at search demand in your niche, and it researches, outlines and drafts a long-form article with sources, internal links and images. The draft lands in your editor like any other post, ready to edit and approve.

Off by default, use it only when you need it
Drafts arrive SEO-scored and fully editable
Schedule drafts on the days you choose
