What we don't do: a backlink database or PPC ad research. If you live in those, keep Semrush — genuinely. If you want rankings, content, and AI answers moving in one loop, that's us.
Hosted plans from $29/mo - we run the backend and pay every AI and data provider. Or buy the licence once and run it on your own infrastructure, forever.
Every plan runs on our keys — nothing to bring. Full caps, engine ladder and yearly billing on the pricing page.
Selling on Shopify? The Shopify app has the same Starter, Growth and Scale plans and prices, billed through Shopify.
Rather run it yourself?
The lifetime licence - from $99.
Your own Convex deployment, your own API keys at provider cost, unlimited workspaces and sites, every future update included. The licence never renews — no subscription, no credits, no per-seat pricing. It keeps working even if we disappear.
On the licence, you run the backend on your own Convex deployment and connect your own API keys — Gemini or OpenAI, DataForSEO, Fal, Resend — paying those providers directly, at their prices. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
RankBull is AI visibility and AI SEO software for small businesses and Shopify stores. It asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Google's AI Overviews the questions your customers ask, shows whether they recommend you or a competitor, then writes and publishes the pages that close the gap and checks that Google indexed them.
Small businesses that want to show up when customers ask AI for a recommendation: local services, SaaS, consultants, online shops and content sites. Shopify stores get a dedicated app on the Shopify App Store. You don't need an SEO team; the free AI visibility report shows where you stand before you pay anything.
Yes. RankBull for Shopify is on the Shopify App Store (https://apps.shopify.com/rankbull). It checks how ChatGPT and Gemini answer shopper questions in your niche, fixes meta descriptions, image alt text and product structured data in one click, adds product FAQs, and writes blog posts that link your real products. It's free to start, with Starter, Growth and Scale plans at $29, $79 and $199 a month, billed through Shopify with a 3-day free trial.
Hosted plans are Starter $29, Growth $79 and Scale $199 per month. We run everything and pay every AI and data provider, and you can cancel anytime. The Shopify app uses the same plan names and prices, billed through Shopify. If you'd rather own the software, the lifetime licence is $499 once (the first 10 licences are $99) and runs on your own infrastructure with your own API keys.
SEO gets your pages ranked in Google's blue links. AI visibility is whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews name your business when someone asks for a recommendation. They reward different things, like clear answers, structured data and sources other sites cite, and more buyers now ask AI first. RankBull works on both: the articles it publishes rank in Google too.
Seven surfaces: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Gemini and Grok. Hosted plans follow a published ladder: Starter tracks ChatGPT and Gemini, Growth adds Perplexity and Claude, and Scale adds Grok and Google AI Overviews. The lifetime licence includes every engine, limited only by your own API budget.
Not on hosted plans or the Shopify app: Gemini, DataForSEO and the rest are included in the price. On the lifetime licence, yes. You bring your own keys (Gemini or OpenAI for generation, DataForSEO for keyword and SERP data, Fal for images, Resend for email) and pay those providers directly, at their prices. We don't resell credits or meter licence usage.
Starter publishes through a custom webhook, so any site that accepts a POST request works. Growth and Scale add native WordPress, Shopify and Framer publishing. The Shopify app publishes straight to your Shopify blog. Every article can wait for your approval before it goes live.
Connect Search Console once (Settings → Analytics) and three things light up. Keyword research starts from your own data: queries where you already rank 8 to 25 get priority, because those pages reach page one fastest. The Indexing Doctor asks Google's URL Inspection API for the real index verdict on every page and turns each problem into plain-English fix steps. And Click Theft Watch spots queries where your rank held but clicks collapsed, the signature of an AI answer absorbing your traffic. The Google APIs involved are free, so none of it uses plan credits.
For what most small businesses open Semrush for (rank and visibility tracking, keyword research, content that ranks, technical health), yes, from $29/mo instead of $139.95/mo. RankBull also covers what matters now: verbatim AI answer tracking, articles that get written and published to your site, and Google's own index verdict for every page. What we don't do: a backlink database or PPC ad research. If those are your job, keep Semrush.
No. RankBull articles are research-grounded: they cite real sources, follow an editorial structure and are written for the signals AI engines actually use. Google's helpful-content guidance is about value, not who typed the words. You stay in control: approve every draft before it publishes, or turn on autopilot.
You see your AI visibility baseline on day one. Real movement follows once your first articles are published and crawled, and how quickly depends on your category, your starting point and how often you publish. Results vary, so we don't promise a fixed timeline or number.
It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription: $499 once (the first 10 licences are $99), with unlimited workspaces and sites and every future update included. You run the backend on your own Convex deployment and connect your own API keys, so your data lives in infrastructure you own. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
Yes. RankBull has a built-in MCP server, so Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP-capable agent can connect with an API key from Settings → API & MCP. Agents can read visibility scores, verbatim AI answers, Search Console and indexing data, and keyword opportunities, and with a write-scoped key they can order an article (after confirming with you).
Those tools tell you that you're not visible. RankBull closes the loop: it finds the questions you're missing, writes the articles, publishes them to your site and checks they got indexed. It's also priced for small businesses, has a native Shopify app, and is the only tool in the category you can own outright with a lifetime licence.
