1. Keyword Analysis & Keyword Factory
Keyword Analysis: Find out exactly what your customers are searching for, view seasonal trends, and check the top 5 competitors for any term. Look for keywords with a high Opportunity Score.
🏭 Keyword Factory: Simply type a plain-English description of your business.
Our AI will automatically find the highest-volume search terms for your niche, write optimized Headlines and Descriptions, and give you a downloadable CSV ready to import directly into Google Ads.
2. Domain Explorer (Pro)
This is the powerhouse of RankAnvil. Enter your own domain and a competitor's domain. Once analyzed, look for the four tool buttons at the bottom of the window to view the data from different angles:
- 💡 Keyword Ideas: AI suggestions for new keywords based on your domain context.
- 📈 Search Visibility: See exactly what you and your competitor currently rank for organically.
- ⚔️ Traffic Gap: The money-maker. We flag keywords as 🚨 Stolen Traffic (where your competitor ranks but you are invisible) or ⚠️ Losing Battle.
- ✨ AI Visibility: Test your actual "share of voice" in AI search engines. See which questions you "Win" or "Lose," and instantly generate FAQ answers for the questions you lost!
3. Technical Site Auditor (Agency) & Backlink Profile
🏥 Site Auditor: Enter a URL to crawl up to 500 pages. RankAnvil will calculate an overall Health Score and flag broken links (404s), missing images, and duplicate Titles/Meta Descriptions so you can fix structural SEO issues fast.
🔗 BackLink Profile: Check the authority of any domain. We fetch their Domain Rank (out of 1000) and list their top 100 strongest inbound links, showing you the exact Anchor Text and whether the link passes SEO juice (DoFollow).
🤖 Understanding AI Readiness vs. AI Visibility
Did you get a high score for AI Readiness, but a low score for AI Visibility? That is completely normal. They measure two different, crucial metrics.
AI Readiness (The Resume):
- Can AI easily read and parse your HTML?
- Is your content structured correctly?
- Do you provide clear, direct answers?
AI Visibility (The Interview):
- Does ChatGPT actually mention you?
- How strong is your brand authority?
- What is your market share in AI answers?
🎯 The Recipe for Success
First, you must be understood (Readiness). Then, you must be chosen (Visibility).
4. llms.txt Generator (Pro)
To dominate AI search engines, you must feed agents pure facts, not just layout code. Generate a custom llms.txt file to act as an instant knowledge graph for your business.
Why is this superior to standard SEO plugins?
Many standard plugins simply list your sitemap links and call it an llms.txt file. RankAnvil's AI generator actually reads the content across up to 5 of your core pages, extracting pricing, history, and services to build a comprehensive data sheet that establishes true E-E-A-T (Authority).
🛑
Troubleshooting: Firewall Detected!
If you see a red firewall warning while trying to analyze a site (especially in the Site Auditor or GEO tools), it means the target website is protected by a strict security proxy like Cloudflare. This actively blocks automated bots from crawling their pages, meaning RankAnvil cannot fetch the required data. This is beyond our control.
