EskeyRank questions, answered straight

No, not in itself. Google's guidance says that using AI to help create content is not against its guidelines on its own. What counts is whether the content is helpful, original and made for people rather than made to manipulate rankings. The trouble starts when AI is used to publish large amounts of low-value pages, which is exactly the habit EskeyRank is built to replace.

It is one of Google's spam policies, added in March 2024. It covers producing many pages mainly to manipulate search rankings, with little value for users, and it applies whether the pages were made by AI, by humans or by both. The policy is about the purpose and the value of the pages, not the tool that wrote them.

No, and nobody honestly can. EskeyRank controls the part you can control: research from live results, writing in your voice and an on-page audit against 23 rules. Where Google places a page also depends on your site, your competitors and things no tool can see.

A single prompt gives you one unresearched pass in a generic voice, and nobody checks it. EskeyRank looks at the live search results first, builds an outline, writes section by section against your approved brand profile, adds internal links and meta data, then scores the article against a 23-point rulebook. Anything under 75 stays a draft for you to review.

Google Gemini. Keyword discovery and the research step use Gemini with Google Search grounding, so they work from live search results rather than from what a model remembers.

Five phases: keyword and content strategy, structure and readability, keyword optimisation and placement, on-page technical elements, and media and linking. Each rule returns pass, warn or fail. 17 checks are automated today; 2 that need a judgment review are coming and are skipped for now. The SEO rulebook lists every rule.

No. EskeyRank focuses on SEO for Google Search: keyword research, search intent, on-page quality and content people want to read. It does not offer features for getting cited by AI assistants or for optimising AI-generated answers.

It makes images: a cover and up to four figures per article depending on the tier (one cover for Quick, plus up to two figures for Standard and up to four for Deep-Dive), realistic photos for real-world subjects and infographics for technical ones, each checked before it is used. You can switch them off per website or use your own. EskeyRank does not track rankings, analyse backlinks or provide analytics.

They are estimates. Volume and difficulty are judged by the model from live search results; they are not measured data from an advertising platform. Treat them as a way to compare keyword ideas with each other, not as exact monthly counts.

From your seed keywords. For each seed, Gemini searches Google live, studies the results, the related searches and the People Also Ask boxes, and proposes specific queries your site could realistically rank for, each with its search intent and a few People Also Ask questions.

Only if you switch auto-publish on, and only when the article scores 75 or higher in the audit. Otherwise it stays a draft. Auto-publish is off by default, so unless you change that, every article waits for your review.

Through a webhook: EskeyRank sends each article with its image files to an address on your website, and your site stores the images and creates the post, so it hosts everything itself. A developer sets this up once, and it works with any platform. Native WordPress, Shopify and Webflow connectors are coming soon. Publishing is optional: you can also export the HTML from the editor and publish it yourself.

You get 40 credits when you sign up, with no card. Credits pay for the AI work: writing an article (by tier, images included), image rerolls and full rewrites. Keyword searches and section rewrites are free within daily limits. If an action fails, its credits are given back. Pricing lists what each one costs.

Yes. You start with 40 free credits, and monthly plans add more credits every month. Unused credits never expire, and you can change or cancel at any time. See pricing for the plans and what each action costs.

The text needed to research and write: your brand profile, your keywords and the text of the pages scanned from your own site are sent to the Gemini API through Google Cloud. The privacy policy has the full picture.
