AI Advisor
Streaming SEO chat with full project context — tactical answers grounded in YOUR data.
What it is
A private, in-app SEO advisor that answers questions about YOUR project specifically. Every message quietly ships a compressed snapshot of your data — latest audit findings, tracked keywords, top researched terms, published articles, backlinks, GEO/AEO score — so replies are grounded in your site, not generic. Three tiers (Fast / Balanced / Expert) let you dial the depth of reasoning per question. Replies stream token-by-token, and multiple saved threads per project keep different topics from bleeding into each other.
Why it matters
Hiring an SEO consultant costs $200/hr and they don't know your site. The Advisor already knows your audit scores, rankings, and backlinks, and answers tactical questions instantly with one-click links into the exact Outerank module to act on the advice.
How to use it (step-by-step)
Follow these in order. Each step is 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Step 1
Start a new thread per topic
Don't mix 'Why am I losing traffic?' with 'Help me pick keywords' in the same thread — separate threads keep context tight. Old threads stay saved per project.
Step 2
Pick your model tier
Fast = free (20/day, then 1 credit each), great for quick lookups. Balanced = 1 credit, the everyday default. Expert = 5 credits, deep multi-step strategy (daily cap shown right on the button).
Step 3
Ask specific questions
'Why did my position for X drop?' beats 'Why is my traffic down?'. The more specific, the better the answer — and it already knows your data.
Step 4
Watch the answer stream in
Responses appear word-by-word. If it's heading the wrong way, you can stop and rephrase without waiting for the whole thing.
Step 5
Click the 'Apply' buttons
When the Advisor suggests a concrete action, an Apply button appears that deep-links you straight to the right module to do it.
Step 6
Stay in scope
The Advisor answers SEO, GEO/AEO, content, keywords, rankings, backlinks, analytics, competitors, and Outerank workflow questions. Off-topic asks (coding help, recipes, general chit-chat) are politely refused so you don't burn credits on unrelated chats.
Advisor reads your whole stack.
Audit findings, rank deltas, backlink swings, content gaps, GEO signals. Advisor reads the FULL picture — not just one module's metrics — and synthesizes a strategic plan.
- Cross-module signal aggregation
- Project + competitor data combined
- Industry-aware (ecommerce vs SaaS vs local)
- Reads your latest Pulse brief as context
Inputs · synthesized
Strategic plan, not a feature list.
Advisor writes a consultant-grade plan: what to do this month, this quarter, this year. References real URLs, real keywords, real competitors. Not a 100-bullet generic checklist.
- Month / quarter / year cadence
- Each action: target metric + estimated lift
- References real URLs + keywords + competitors
- Saved + searchable forever
This month · 3 priorities
P1 · Ship 4 articles targeting golden picks 1–4 — +12% Tracker visibility.
P2 · Fix 3 critical CWV issues on /products/* — +5pts Speed.
P3 · Add FAQPage schema to top 12 pillars — +18% GEO citation.
Action-ordered, not feature-grouped.
Advisor orders by IMPACT × FEASIBILITY — not by which module owns the action. The plan you can hand to your team is sequenced like an executive memo, not a feature dump.
- Impact × feasibility ordering
- Time estimates per action (15min / 2hr / 1 day)
- Owner suggestions (writer / dev / SEO)
- Dependencies surfaced (do X before Y)

How we compare
Honest comparison — where we win, where the big tools win.

ChatGPT doesn't know YOUR audit scores or YOUR keyword rankings. We feed all that in automatically, and our answers link to the exact module to act. Apples to oranges.
vs. SEO consultant ($200/hr)
A consultant is better for big strategy meetings; we're better for the 50 tactical questions you'd otherwise google — instantly, with your data in hand.
