Getting started
Set up your account, add a site, and learn your way around Rankbench before you pick a module.
Set yourself up
The three things to do before anything else works properly.
- Creating your Rankbench accountSigning up with Google or an email address, what happens on the screen straight afterwards, and the difference between an account with a workspace and one without.
- Reading your site before you sign upThe free read at /read: what it looks at, what it shows you while it works, what it can and cannot know about a site it has just met, and what happens to it if you make an account.
- Adding your first websiteThe Get started screen, the setup steps that follow, and the card on your Website overview that shows how far setup has got and what to do next.
- Proving your site is yoursWhy verification gates the audit and the exchange directory, the proofs Rankbench accepts with Google Search Console first, how to read what the check found, and what changes the moment one lands.
- Confirming who represents your websiteFor site owners who got an email asking them to confirm an agency. What it means, what Yes and No each do, and taking the site over on Rankbench.
Find your way around
How the app is arranged, and where it tells you things.
- Workspaces, the switcher and your viewOne website is one workspace. What lives inside one, how to move between them, and the separate switch that trims the sidebar to the writing tools.
- Your dashboardThe setup card, what each tile and list counts, how the Recommended and Fix suggestions are chosen, and why the page is best read as a router into the module that owns the work.
- How Rankbench tells you thingsThe bell, the notifications page, the separate email controls and their categories, and what each module generates.
- Rankbench Pro and billingWhat stays free forever, what Pro pays for, how per-site slots work, and where to move a slot or cancel.
