The retainer conversation goes wrong in a predictable way. You did good work in March, the client's traffic was flat in April, and neither of you can say whether those two facts are related. So the renewal turns on rapport, and rapport is a thin thing to run a business on.
Meanwhile the audit tools hand you 847 findings a month per client. Most of them are one templating decision seen 400 times, and the work of turning that list into three things worth asking a developer for is done by a senior person, by hand, every month, for every client.
Rankelle does the grouping mechanically, watches for the deploy so nobody has to chase it, and then measures what landed against pages nobody touched. When the answer is that the fix did nothing, you find out in week six and stop recommending it, rather than discovering it in a renewal meeting.
What that looks like here
- One portfolio screenEvery client in one table, ordered by what needs attention this week: critical causes, crawl staleness, verdicts pending. Not fifteen browser tabs.
- Cross-client patternsWhen the same issue type is open on three or more clients, it is shown as one row. That is usually one agency-wide recommendation, or one platform behaving badly.
- The report writes itselfMonthly, branded as yours, in plain English, with the verdicts included. The hours you currently spend assembling it are the cheapest thing this replaces.
- Retirement of rules that do not payIf a rule keeps landing on a site and keeps producing no effect, it is retired for that site. Your recommendations get shorter and better-founded over time.
Questions from people like you
We already pay for Ahrefs and Screaming Frog. Does this replace them?
No, and we would rather say so. Those tools find and audit; this one groups, watches for the deploy and measures the outcome. The overlap is the crawl, and the crawl is the cheap part of both.
How many clients before it is worth it?
The grouping pays off on one client. The portfolio view and the cross-client recurrence panel need about five before they say anything you did not already know.
Everything here works the same way it does everywhere else in the product: the crawl is ours, the Search Console data is yours, and a verdict is allowed to come back as no effect. Start with one client on the free tier and decide with your own data.

No card, and the free tier does not expire — the first verdict takes about six weeks to arrive.
