Guided Setup

Manage your campaigns in minutes

The setup stays simple for buyers while still giving Rank Engine the context needed to produce researched content and place it on relevant publishers.

Outcome

Choose the campaign goal

Rank Engine adapts the setup around Reputation Management, Brand Awareness, Thought Leadership or Category Authority.

Subject & Market

Add subject and audience context

Define the brand, person, product or page the campaign should support, who the content needs to reach and any regional focus.

Publisher Fit

Set publisher and placement direction

Choose DA tiers or Smart Select™ for relevance, traffic and authority, with audience targeting.

Source Material

Provide background and assets

Share the source material, quotes, images and constraints that help placements read naturally.

Content Rules

Confirm content settings

Set language, style, brand mention type and content signals for the campaign.

Review Flow

Select approvals and delivery

Choose whether you want to review content, approve publisher sites or move straight to managed delivery.

Flexible Controls

Use shared direction, then get specific where it matters.

Most orders do not need every field filled out repeatedly. Use shared defaults where they make sense, then get specific only where the campaign needs it.

Global default

Shared

Use one instruction where every compatible placement should follow the same direction.

Reusable assets

Shared pool

Provide a reusable list of topics, quotes, links or assets and let Rank Engine distribute them sensibly.

Specific control

Per-placement

Give a placement its own instruction when a publisher, URL, topic or asset needs individual control.

Content Production

How we build the article.

Each article is underpinned by hours of research, a tested thesis, contrasting examples, expert insight and industry context. The goal is credible third-party content that features the brand or person without reading like a commercial. AI can help speed the workflow, but the article is still built from research, evidence and editorial review.

01

Thesis and angle

We turn the brief into a clear article thesis so the final piece has a reason to exist beyond the placement itself.

02

Research and evidence

Industry news, expert insight, market examples, studies and contrasting cases are gathered before drafting starts.

03

Credible inclusion

The brand, person or asset is introduced as evidence, context or expert perspective, not as forced praise.

04

Critique and revision

Drafts go through structured critique, editing and quality checks before they move to approval or publication.

Revision Desk

Review, refine and approve each article.

Revision Desk gives each draft a focused review workspace. Read the article, inspect the sources, invite feedback, process comments into grounded revisions and approve when ready.

Source-backed review

Inspect the draft alongside the source set used to create the article.

Shareable feedback links

Invite stakeholders to read, comment and suggest edits without needing an account.

AI-assisted edit queue

Dismiss feedback or process comments into grounded revision proposals.

Approval handoff

Approve the final draft so Rank Engine can move into prospecting and placement delivery.

Approvals When Needed

Add review steps only where you need them.

You can move quickly, or add review steps for content and placement decisions. Approvals are free on your first order and optional after. Campaigns with approvals use a longer delivery window so there is time for review cycles.

Content approval

Review drafts, request edits and approve before content moves forward.

Placement approval

Review publisher sites before Rank Engine commits to the placement.

Order discussion

Keep feedback, questions and account-manager discussion attached to the order.

Managed Delivery

Track the work without running the process.

Once the order is placed, the campaign moves into a managed production workflow. You keep visibility without needing to run the process yourself.
