Stop juggling separate tools.
A desktop crawler, a GSC testing tool, a GBP scheduler, and a spreadsheet each solve one piece. RankNest covers all of it, organized by client.

What's in the box
Six tools that share one client list, one crawl, and your Google Search Console connection.
How agencies use RankNest day to day
Onboarding, audits, internal linking, SEO testing, and GBP scheduling. All in the same client workspace.
Onboard Clients
Add a client, connect Google Search Console and Google Business Profile, and run a full site audit and crawl in minutes.
Analyze & Strategize
Surface technical issues with the site audit. Map internal linking and generate AI linking plans to close structural gaps.
Test & Optimize
Run SEO A/B experiments, implement internal linking recommendations, and schedule Google Business Profile posts without leaving the dashboard.
Report & Scale
Show clients audit fixes, link maps, experiment results, and performance dashboards. Repeat the process across every client.
Internal linking, on a canvas
Ditch the spreadsheet. Crawl any site, see every page as a node and every internal link as an edge, and group pages into hub-and-spoke topic clusters.
- Automatic site crawling
- Drag-and-drop node editing
- Topic cluster grouping
- Anchor text tracking
- Orphan page detection
An AI plan for the links you're missing
Once your map is built, click Generate. The AI reads the architecture and returns a prioritized list: orphan pages, missing reciprocals, and cluster-mates that should link to each other. Each rec comes with anchor text and a placement suggestion.
- Orphan page detection
- Reciprocal link opportunities
- Hub-and-spoke recommendations
- Priority ranking by SEO impact
- Track implementation progress
A/B testing for SEO (finally)
Set up an experiment on a meta title, H1, or piece of body copy. RankNest grabs the GSC baseline at start, syncs again after the change goes live, and shows you the before/after delta.
- 16 experiment variables
- Before/after comparison
- Statistical significance
- GSC integration
- Experiment library
From the founder
I'm James. I run Grindstone Design, and I've been doing SEO for local-business clients since 2020. I built RankNest for my own agency because the tools I needed didn't talk to each other, and the one that ran real SEO tests was priced for enterprises.
A small group of agency owners ran it with me through alpha in early 2026. Now it's open to anyone. If you manage SEO for local and SMB clients, I think it'll save you the tab-juggling it saved me.

What the same workflow costs as separate tools
RankNest replaces a desktop crawler, a GSC testing tool, and a GBP scheduler. It isn't a keyword-research or backlink tool, so it doesn't replace Ahrefs or Semrush.
