Content Intelligence

Content Intelligence looks at a page you own and gives you a readiness score, the evidence behind it, a plain-language brief and, if you opt in, an AI-written draft. The score is rule-based, so the same page always gets the same score. One analysis uses one content_analyses credit from your monthly allowance or your credit pack.

What it does

• Fetches an eligible page through the configured crawl service.
• Pulls out headings, links, structured data, and a few other on-page signals. It doesn't keep the raw HTML of third-party pages.
• Scores the page with the same rules as the audit report, so the numbers are comparable.
• Shows evidence for every finding: the rule id, where it fired, a short excerpt, and a confidence label.
• If you opt in, sends the page to the AI providers your operator has configured to write a brief and, optionally, a draft.

What it doesn't do

• It doesn't publish anything. Drafts are yours to accept, edit, or dismiss.
• It doesn't crawl arbitrary URLs. The URL must belong to a site you own or a competitor you have added on the Agency tier.
• It doesn't show raw provider responses or hidden AI instructions. The app shows a cleaned-up result, and /api/v1 can't start or change analyses.

Starting an analysis

You can start an analysis from:

• Sites → any site → Content: pick a page URL from your inventory.
• Report → Fix now / Watch: the recommendation row opens the workflow with the page filled in.
• Keyword research → tracked keyword: analyzes the URL that ranks for the keyword right now.
• Google Search Console → any query: analyzes the URL Google shows for that query.
• Competitors → Agency competitor page: Agency tier only.

All of these open the same workflow. Each one checks and reserves your allowance before the analysis is queued (see Plans, limits & credits), and stops with a clear message if you're over your cap.

What one credit includes

One content_analyses credit covers:

• one fetch of your page plus up to three reviewed public comparison pages,
• the keyword and search-result evidence available for that run,
• the score and its evidence,
• the plain-language brief,
• and, when opt-in AI is on, one draft.

Regenerating uses another credit. If you retry the same URL within seven days, RankMeFast reuses the saved copy of the page, but the new score and brief still cost one credit.

Score, evidence, confidence, citations, brief, draft

• Score. 0 to 100, from the same rules as the audit report.
• Evidence. Each finding names the rule, points to the place in the HTML where it fired, and shows a short excerpt.
• Confidence. high / medium / low, based on how well structured the page is.
• Citations. Every AI statement cites the URL and excerpt it came from. Anything without a citation is hidden.
• Brief. A short, plain-language plan you can hand to a writer.
• Draft. Opt-in. The AI provider order in the operator config decides who writes it. You accept, edit, or dismiss it.

Opt-in AI processing and retention

The AI brief and draft are opt-in. When you opt in, we send only the excerpts needed to write the brief. We keep those excerpts for seven days so you can regenerate without a second fetch, then delete them. The export and account-deletion controls in Account security still apply and finish within the documented grace period.

Partial and refunded results

Sometimes Firecrawl or the AI provider has problems. In that case the analysis shows whatever finished and is marked partial. Regenerating starts a new analysis and uses another credit. If the run failed before producing anything useful, the credit is refunded automatically and the analysis is marked refunded.

Recommendations and 28-day correlations

The brief lists recommendations. For each one you can:

• Accept: adds it to your outcome tracking.
• Dismiss: records why, for the correlation window.
• Apply: marks it applied. RankMeFast then compares rank, clicks, and impressions for the 28 days before and after.

This comparison shows whether the numbers moved after the change. It doesn't prove the change caused it. The audit report uses the same 28-day window.

Pro inventory and cannibalization

On Pro and Agency, the workspace opens a page inventory that groups URLs by topic and flags cannibalization pairs (two of your own URLs competing for the same search intent). Inventory has its own allowance, content_inventory_page_blocks: one block covers up to four of your pages, rounded up. Unused whole blocks are refunded when the run finishes.

Agency competitor portfolio and monitoring

Agency comparisons start from reviewed ranking pages rather than competitor homepages. Open a landscape report, check the suggested page and its keyword evidence, then confirm it or enter another page on the same domain. RankMeFast doesn't start paid work from a suggestion alone, and it won't quietly swap an unavailable page for the homepage.

A confirmed content run can compare up to 15 reviewed competitor pages with the pages from your site that you selected. Before anything is reserved, the review step shows the page count and the units it will use. RankMeFast keeps the facts it derived and short excerpts, not raw HTML, and the excerpts expire after seven days.

Monitoring is a separate step. “Monitor this reviewed page” opens the usual monitor form, where you confirm the exact URL before it takes a monitor slot. Analysis never creates a monitor on its own, and the weekly check schedule and your plan allowance still apply. Once you dismiss a Firecrawl change, the same change doesn't alert again.

You can also open a focused content analysis from a landscape opportunity. Your URL, the keyword, and the reviewed competitor page are filled in, but you still confirm before the analysis starts.

Managing allowances and the 20-analysis pack

Your monthly content_analyses allowance depends on your tier. See Plans, limits & credits. If you run out mid-month, the 20-analysis credit pack adds twenty single-use credits that never expire and come on top of the monthly allowance.

Troubleshooting

• Access. The URL must belong to a site you own (or an Agency competitor). Otherwise you get "not found" rather than "forbidden", so the response doesn't reveal whether the URL exists.
• robots.txt. If your own page blocks the crawl, the run fails and the credit is refunded. If an optional comparison page is blocked, you may get a partial result. RankMeFast always follows robots rules.
• New URLs in Search Console. If Google hasn't indexed the URL yet, the analysis still runs on the fetched HTML but skips the Search Console comparison.
• Caps. You'll see a message that names the metric (content_analyses). Buy a pack or wait for the monthly reset.
• Provider outages. A Firecrawl or AI provider outage shows up as partial or refunded. It is never reported as a success.

Export and deletion

Every analysis is included in the account export. Deleting your account removes your analyses within the grace period described in Account security.
