Product Basics
What is Out Rank?
Out Rank is an AI-powered SEO content automation platform that helps you create SEO-optimized articles 10x faster. It handles keyword research, content planning, article generation, and publishing - all in one workflow.
How does AI article generation work?
Simply input 1-10 seed keywords, and our AI expands them into a full keyword strategy. Then generate a 30-day content calendar with SEO-optimized titles. Finally, generate 1,500-3,000 word articles with proper H1/H2/H3 structure, FAQs, and internal linking suggestions.
How long does it take to generate an article?
Article generation typically takes 2-5 minutes depending on length and complexity. A standard 2,000-word SEO article usually completes in about 3 minutes. All articles include proper heading structure, meta descriptions, and keyword optimization.
