Why we exist
In 2024 we watched something quietly devastating happen: ChatGPT and Perplexity started intercepting 40% of search queries before users ever reached Google. Established SEO playbooks — built for a Google-only world — stopped working overnight.
The big SEO tools (Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz) had no answer. They still don't. They show you data, but they don't act on it. And they can't help you appear in AI answers, where the next decade of search traffic is moving.
We built Outerank to be the first SEO platform designed for both: classic Google SEO + Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). One subscription. Ten autonomous modules. Powered by Claude Opus.
What makes Outerank different
- We do the work. Other tools tell you that your site is slow, your backlinks are dying, your competitors are publishing. Outerank fixes it: writes content, submits backlinks, drafts outreach emails, optimizes structured data.
- Built for AI search too. Our GEO module trains ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity to cite YOUR brand when people ask AI for recommendations in your niche.
- No 12-month contracts. Monthly billing, cancel any time, 7-day Pro trial — no credit card.
- Three languages, full RTL. English, French, Arabic — including right-to-left layout. More languages coming.
The founder
Outerank is founded by Zakaria Amennou, an entrepreneur building from Morocco. The mission is simple: make best-in-class SEO accessible to founders, freelancers, and small agencies who can't afford a $3,000/month boutique SEO firm — but deserve the same quality of work.
Where we're going
We're shipping fast. Today: site audits, keyword research, rank tracking, AI fixes. Next quarter: full backlink auto-submission, AI Content Writer, AI Advisor chat with project context.
