Changelog
What's new in Outerank
We ship constantly. Here's everything new — features, improvements and fixes, newest first.
New
Brain gets sharper
- Brain now updates its advice the moment you do the work, instead of waiting for the nightly run
- Every module shows its own Brain suggestions - previously only the top 5 reached the page
- New Keyword Research advice, including 'you researched N keywords, now pick the ones to track'
- Brain is black everywhere it appears
- Overview now keeps the project you selected instead of jumping to another site
New
Brain guide
- /learn Brain page now explains the score panel and its weights
New
Brain cockpit
- Brain Score panel redesigned as a dark cockpit
- Component weights now visible, with the points each one is costing your score
- Biggest-lever callout tells you which component to fix first
New
Rank checks: same data, 3x cheaper — and a progress bar
- Manual rank checks now run in the background on our batch data pipe with a live progress bar, so you can keep working while they finish (about a minute)
- Need it in seconds? The new Instant option uses the live pipe — identical rankings, priced for the real cost of speed
- Depth pricing updated: top 10/20/30/100 = 3/4/6/18 credits per 25 keywords (Instant 10/14/20/60)
- Manual checks now have a generous daily ceiling per plan as an abuse backstop — the free bi-weekly auto-check is unaffected
New
Fixed missing labels in Internal Links
- Ten table headings in Internal Links were showing internal placeholder text instead of their real titles — now fixed in English and French
- Same fix for three labels in Brain, Backlinks and Outreach
New
French app translation completed
- Every module screen is now fully translated — 126 hardcoded English strings across 20 modules moved into the translation files with French wording
- Fixed two guide texts that failed to render because a code tag in the sentence was read as formatting
New
AI-search checks now run in your market's language
- Citation checks are generated and run in your project's own language instead of always English — a French project is now measured on French queries, which is what its customers actually type
- A 'Checking in: French' label on the Citations tab tells you which market you're measuring before you spend credits
- New dropdown to override the language — for agencies selling into a different market than they sit in
- Prompt suggestions and scheduled auto-checks follow the same language
New
Credit usage page + GEO schedule fixes
- New Settings → Credit usage page: see every credit you spent, split by module, by action, and by whether YOU pressed a button or an automatic schedule ran it
- Automatic AI-search citation checks now bill only the engines you picked, refund fully if a run fails, and never run on paused projects
- Admin scheduler now lists money-spending jobs first
- Google AI Overviews added as its own engine in the AI-search showcase (it is a different surface from Gemini)
New
AI-visibility auto-checks + simpler rank cadences
- New: schedule automatic AI-citation checks in the AI Search module — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, with the credit cost shown up-front
- Rank Tracker auto-check cadences simplified to Bi-weekly or Monthly (the free check already scans the full top 100 — use Check rank now for fresher numbers)
Fixed
Rank tracking + signup analytics fixes
- Auto-check schedule now clearly shows the real default (every 2 weeks) instead of implying weekly
- Custom rank-check cadences now use the same efficient batch check as the default, so deep top-100 data costs less
- Scheduled rank and AI-visibility checks now stop for accounts that no longer include those modules
- Signups are now recorded properly so the growth funnel reports real numbers
Improved
Rank Tracker: choose your search depth + bigger keyword pools
- Check rank now lets you pick how deep to look — top 10, 20, 30 or 100 — and pay only for the depth you choose
- Select exactly which keywords to re-check instead of running the whole list
- Keyword limits are now one pool shared across all your projects — 200 Starter, 1,000 Pro, 2,500 Studio, 5,000 Agency
- More projects on every plan: 3 Starter, 10 Pro, 20 Studio, 50 Agency
- Automatic rank checks now run every 2 weeks and scan the full top 100
- Fixed the Brand Authority Graph reporting no sources found
New
Settings fully in French
- The AI Engines (GEO) and Reports & Branding settings pages are now fully translated to French.
New
Consistent, translated profile choices
- Settings 'About you' and 'Leave a review' now share one role & industry list, fully translated to French.
New
AI-visibility demo in French
- The animated GEO/AI-visibility walkthrough on the homepage now displays its labels and headers in French.
New
Homepage demo in French
- The interactive platform walkthrough on the homepage now shows its module labels, KPIs and headers in French.
New
Reviews page in French
- The customer reviews page and its submission form are now fully localized in French.
New
Outerank browser toolbar (beta)
- A new Chrome toolbar for subscribers: on any page, one click gives you the SEO audit, an internal-link check, the domain's backlinks, AI-search readiness, your measured AI citations, and a competitor “spy” view — without leaving the tab.
- Measured AI citations now break down engine by engine (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and more), showing how many prompts each engine cited you in.
- Everything runs on demand — switching tabs never triggers a lookup — and each panel links straight to the matching module in the app. Rolling out to paid plans.
Improved
Reliability & polish
- A cleaner, clearer system status page.
- A brand-new changelog page (you're looking at it).
- Squashed a batch of edge-case errors across the app for a smoother experience.
New
Developer API + sharper AI-search positioning
- New read-only Developer API (v1): pull your projects, audit scores, keywords, rankings, backlinks and AI-search citations into your own tools, dashboards and scripts using an API key. Available on Pro and up.
- AI Search (GEO) is now measured, not modeled — we run your prompts through the real AI engines and read the real answers, so you see exactly where you're cited.
- The AI Search section now leads the homepage — it's the differentiator that matters most in 2026.
New
Report preview + white-label that actually shows your brand
- Preview any report template — with your own branding — before you generate it, right from Settings → Reports & Branding.
- White-label reports now show your brand (name, logo, colour) everywhere, with zero mention of Outerank on Agency plans.
- New French SEO guides for teams comparing tools and pricing.
Improved
A more generous, clearer free plan
- Free accounts can run the Site Audit and check AI-search readiness, with every other module visible so you can see exactly what you'll unlock.
- Clearer in-app messaging about what's included on each plan.
Improved
Rebalanced plans + honest limits
- New credit allowances and project/seat limits across Starter, Pro, Studio and Agency — more headroom where it counts.
- Every plan limit is now shown transparently in-app and on pricing.
New
AI-search citation tracking goes fully measured
- Track real citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews — measured from the live engines, not estimated.
- See per-engine 'cited / mentioned / absent', which competitor took your spot, and the exact fix to win the citation.
- Honest labelling: any engine we can't measure yet is clearly marked as modelled.
New
Brain becomes a cross-module strategist
- Brain now reads across all your modules each night and hands you 3–5 ranked, highest-impact actions — with the reasoning shown.
- A single 'Brain Score' north-star, effort estimates so you can do the quick wins first, and a plain-English strategist read of what changed.
- Brain measures whether its own past advice actually worked and adjusts — advice you can hold accountable.
New
Client Reports, rebuilt
- Seven polished report templates (Outerank, Executive, Visual, Minimal, Corporate, Bold, Modern) with one-click PDF, print and shareable links.
- Per-module reports merged into one place, with a default template you set once.
- Agency branding + white-label applied to every report.
Improved
Outcome Simulator + AI Advisor polish
- Project your traffic/ranking upside before doing the work, and share a scenario via a public link.
- AI Advisor now threads context from across your modules for sharper, project-aware answers.
New
AI Search (GEO) module — the full toolkit
- Track visibility across six AI surfaces, with sentiment, topic clusters, a Brand Authority graph, and an answer-engine (AEO) rewriter that makes your pages citable.
- Auto-deploy llms.txt, schema and entity data to help engines find and quote you.
- Weekly re-checks and alerts when an engine stops citing you.
New
Rank Tracker goes global + backlinks upgrades
- Track rankings in 213 countries, down to the city, on desktop and mobile.
- Per-project tracking schedules, share-of-voice, movers, and quick-win insights.
- Backlink Monitor, Outreach and the Backlinks workspace got a major polish pass.
New
Keywords, Competitor Intel & AI Content Writer
- Faster, richer keyword research with real volume, difficulty, intent and 'golden' opportunities.
- Competitor Intel watches rivals' pages and surfaces changes and new topics you can counter.
- AI Content Writer generates SEO-ready long-form articles with a built-in fact-check.
New
Site Audit + Internal Links, deeper
- Site Audit runs 100+ technical checks with a cinematic results view and PDF export.
