Frequently Asked Questions

What is RankPath?

RankPath is an SEO monitoring tool that crawls your website, detects technical SEO issues, and tracks your SEO score over time. It helps agencies and website owners identify problems and improve search engine visibility.

How do I get started?

The easiest way to start is to try our free checker - just enter any URL to get an instant SEO analysis. No account required. To save projects and track trends over time, sign up for a free account.

Do I need a credit card for the free plan?

No, the free plan requires no payment information at all. You can use RankPath to monitor one project with up to 5 crawls per day without ever entering a credit card.

Can I try RankPath without creating an account?

Yes! Our free SEO checker lets you analyze any URL without signing up. You get 3 free checks per day by IP address. For more checks and project tracking, create a free account.

What SEO checks does RankPath perform?

RankPath analyzes multiple on-page SEO factors including:

• Title tags (presence, length, optimization)
• Meta descriptions (presence, length, optimization)
• Heading structure (H1 presence, multiple H1s)
• Image optimization (alt text presence)
• Open Graph tags for social sharing
• Canonical URLs
• Language attributes
• Robots meta directives

How often are my projects checked?

Check frequency depends on your plan:

• Free: Manual checks only - click "Check Now" to analyze
• Professional: Daily automated checks + manual checks

What's the difference between the plans?

The main differences are project limits and automation:

• Free (€0/month): 1 project, 5 crawls/day, manual only
• Professional (€29/month): 10 projects, 30 crawls/day, daily automation
• Agency (€99/month): 50 projects, 250 crawls/day, hourly automation

See our pricing page for full details.

How is the SEO score calculated?

RankPath starts with a perfect score of 100 and deducts points for detected issues. Critical issues (like missing titles) deduct more points than minor warnings. The score gives you a quick overview of your page's SEO health.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your Settings page. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period - there are no early termination fees.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards via Stripe, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

Do you offer refunds?

We don't offer refunds for partial months, but you can cancel anytime before your next billing cycle to avoid future charges. If you have concerns, please contact us and we'll try to help.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes! You can change your plan at any time from the Settings page. Upgrades take effect immediately, and downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period.

Does RankPath crawl my entire website?

Currently, RankPath analyzes single pages - you enter a URL and we analyze that specific page. Multi-page site crawling with sitemap support is on our roadmap for a future update.

Will crawling hurt my site's performance?

No. RankPath makes single, lightweight requests to your pages - similar to how a search engine bot would visit. This has no measurable impact on your site's performance or server load.

What data do you store?

We store crawl results (page titles, meta tags, headings, etc.) to show you trends over time. We keep up to 30 crawls per project. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.

Can I export my data?

Yes, you can export your project data and SEO reports in PDF and CSV formats. This is useful for client presentations or keeping records outside of RankPath.

How do I contact support?

Contact us and we'll respond within 24 hours on business days. We're happy to help with any questions about the product or your account.

I found a bug - how do I report it?
