Quick start

This walks the whole pipeline once with a single small change — the fastest way to understand how RankOut fits together. Budget about 20 minutes of hands-on time; the assessment and validation run in the background.

1. 1

   Create the project

   From the client switcher choose Add project. Enter the website, a primary goal, the platform, and a contact email. RankOut creates the project and drops you on the Setup page.

2. 2

   Let the baseline run

   On creation RankOut fires a public crawl of the site and snapshots any connected performance data. The Setup page shows a Baseline panel — it moves from Capturing to a crawl score with page counts and top recommendations.

3. 3

   Connect website access

   In the Required section of the Setup checklist, connect the RankOut WordPress Connector (or GitHub for a codebase site). This is the one connection RankOut needs before it can assess or change the site.

4. 4

   Connect Search Console and Analytics

   In the Recommended section, authorise Google and pick the Search Console property and Analytics property. These give you a real performance baseline and let RankOut measure change outcomes later.

5. 5

   Run the analysis

   Open Home / Mission Control and choose Run analysis. RankOut audits the live site and turns the findings into Opportunities.

6. 6

   Pick one opportunity

   Open Opportunities, choose a small, technically-verifiable one — a missing meta description, a schema gap, an internal link — and read its evidence, reasoning and expected outcome.

7. 7

   Build and approve a strategy

   Select the opportunity and create a strategy. Set the implementation method to WordPress Connector on that item, submit the strategy for review, and approve it. The action becomes a work item.

8. 8

   Draft the change

   Open Changes (or the work item on Plan & Work) and let RankOut draft the proposal. It inspects the live page and produces one exact tool call or file change with a diff.

9. 9

   Approve and apply

   Review the diff. Approve it. RankOut applies the change through the connector, reads the value back to validate it, and moves the work item to Done.

10. 10

    Watch Results

    The work item now has a baseline. Over the next four weeks RankOut re-measures the targeted metric and classifies the outcome. From there it recommends the next action and the loop repeats.
