October 2026

The dashboard's Overview for one site, with Google clicks by week, six months of activity, site health and blog clicks.

New13 Oct 2026Dashboard

A dashboard that starts with your site

Your dashboard now opens on the site it reports on, with its clicks, health, authority and six months of work on the first screen.

What changed

The Overview comes first: Google clicks by week, average position, authority, site health, blog clicks and your top pages.
Six months of activity in one graph, running on into the articles your calendar has planned for the next 30 days.
Pick the range you want to see, from 7 days to 16 months, and the totals and chart follow it.
Search pages and settings from the top of the dashboard, or ask AI a question there.

The SEO Overview for one site, with site health, a Fixes card of 151 fixes to do, an Opportunities card and the latest audits.

New13 Oct 2026SEO

SEO, priced in clicks

The SEO workspace now leads with clicks: what your fixes and opportunities could add, and the one job to start with.

What changed

The Overview opens on four numbers and a chart of Google clicks by week, with what the fixes and the opportunities would add on top.
Opportunities is a new view for the gains: searches you almost win, pages to fill out, new pages to build. Fixes now holds only what is broken.
All fixes is grouped into jobs with the clicks each one carries, so the list starts with what is worth doing first.
Copy several fix prompts as one task an AI tool answers in full, and export everything the list shows.

New10 Oct 2026Content calendar

Calendars fill their month by themselves

A verified site now gets its first 30-day plan without asking, and a month with open days finds more topics overnight.

What changed

Your first 30-day plan is built for you within a day of verifying your site, and you get a note when it is ready.
A month with open days looks for more topics every night until it is full.
Keywords in any language are kept as written, so a Portuguese or French site gets a plan in its own language.
One article per search: topics that repeat one you already have are set aside, and their days are given to something new.

Also in October

Also fixed (17)

Page buttons are one size, Backlink Exchange card titles match the dashboard's, and a connected Google sign-in shows the same status as your email.15 Oct
The confirm, reset and sign-in link emails now arrive from no-reply@rankbench.io, so they no longer look like they came from somewhere else.15 Oct
Getting started, website setup and every Verify button show the same Search Console-first step, with Check my site always in view. Agencies see emailing the site's owner first.15 Oct
A site's two pages drop their Overview and Settings tabs, which repeated the menu. Each page is named in its heading, under your site's address.15 Oct
Backlink Exchange settings let you pick several target countries but kept only the first. You now pick one main audience country, and that is what is saved.15 Oct
An audit that read fewer than five pages shows no health score, rather than one worked out from a page or two.14 Oct
Findings no longer ask you to rank for searches for your own brand, and the extra clicks they estimate rest on the searches a page already gets.14 Oct
A guest post written for another site before it had rules now opens in the editor instead of an error page.14 Oct
When an audit stops at its page limit, the pages it never reached are no longer listed as pages nothing on your site links to.14 Oct
Verifying with Google needs owner or full access in Search Console, and a check that finds only restricted access says what to do instead.14 Oct
Findings and the Search tab read one 28-day window of your Google data, so a search is no longer counted again for every sync, and findings on busy sites update again.14 Oct
The email saying your site audit is done now reaches people on the default email setting.14 Oct
Redrawing earlier pictures picks up where it stopped if an update interrupts it, within the hour.11 Oct
A second press of Publish while an article is being sent is refused, so it can no longer reach your site twice.10 Oct
Opening an article in the editor no longer marks it as edited or sends it to your blog again.10 Oct
An audit that could not load any page now says why, and you can run it again straight away.2 Oct
Long articles no longer fail partway through writing after two minutes.2 Oct
