What RankNest is
RankNest is a web-based SEO workspace organized around agency clients, combining site audits, research, link planning, and measurement tools. Its crawler creates a visual page and link map, then produces prioritized AI suggestions for internal links. Audits check status codes, indexability, metadata, redirects, response times, and schema, while a scraper outlines competitor headings and word counts. Other listed tools include review mining, Google Business Profile post scheduling, rank tracking, keyword and competitor research, and AI visibility checks. SEO experiments use Google Search Console data to compare clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position before and after changes. Integrations include Google Search Console and Google Business Profile; documentation also lists Google Analytics 4, a WordPress plugin, a custom-site push endpoint, REST API, and MCP server setup. RankNest describes itself as built for agencies rather than in-house teams. Pricing starts at $50/mo, and a 14-day trial is offered. Usage limits vary by plan; scheduled checks for a client pause after a limit is exceeded until the account adds a pack, upgrades, or removes keywords.
