1. Acceptance

By signing in with Google and using RankGrep, you agree to these terms. RankGrep is under active development: features, limits and behaviour may change as it develops, and the documentation at rankgrep.com/docs describes how it works at any given time.

2. What RankGrep does

RankGrep runs a safe, read-only crawl of websites you add, surfaces technical SEO issues with real evidence, and can prepare AI-suggested fixes for your review. Nothing is changed on a live website without your explicit approval.

3. Your account

You sign in with Google — RankGrep never asks for or stores your Google password. You’re responsible for what happens under your account, and for only adding websites you own or are authorized to audit and modify.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Add or crawl a website you don’t own or don’t have permission to audit
Use RankGrep to attack, overload, or scrape sites outside its intended safe-crawl limits
Attempt to bypass the approval step before a repair is applied
Interfere with the service or access it through unauthorized means

5. Repairs and approvals

RankGrep prepares proposed fixes with a before/after preview. Approving a proposal records your decision, but only issues mapped to an exact, executable field actually change your live site. On a connected WordPress site those are the SEO title, the meta description, the H1 heading, the opening paragraph, the description of a category or tag archive, the alt text of images in your media library, and the destination of a broken internal link. Everything else is guidance for you to apply by hand.

Every WordPress change is written to your site’s database through the WordPress REST API; RankGrep never edits your theme or plugin files. Some writes reach into the page itself: editing an H1 or an opening paragraph rewrites that text inside the page content when it was typed there, and on a site without the RankGrep connector plugin an approved SEO title may be written to the WordPress title of the page, which is the name it is known by in your dashboard. The connector plugin gives those fields a home of their own; some repairs need it and are offered only as guidance without it.

On a connected GitHub repository a fix is opened as a pull request instead. Nothing is merged by RankGrep; a change becomes live only when a person merges it.

After applying a repair RankGrep re-fetches the live page to confirm the change took effect, and automatically restores the original value if it did not. A live change can be undone from Change history, and a change that a later audit finds missing from the site — usually because a database was restored or replaced — is reported there and can be put back on request, never automatically. You remain responsible for reviewing a proposal before approving it, and for keeping your own backups of any site you connect.

6. Plans, payment and refunds

RankGrep is sold as a monthly subscription. Every plan includes every feature; plans differ in how many websites you may hold at once and in the monthly allowance of data credits, which pay for ranking checks, backlink data and the AI assistant. Adding a website beyond your plan’s limit is refused until you upgrade or remove another — websites you already have keep working and keep being audited either way. When a month’s allowance is used up, the features that draw on it pause until the allowance resets on the first of the next month; audits, repairs, Search Console and Analytics never draw on it. The allowance for each plan is stated on the Pricing page.

There is no free trial. Instead, if RankGrep isn’t right for you, you can ask for a full refund within 14 days of a payment, without having to justify the decision. The Refund Policy sets out how, and what happens to your account afterwards.

Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancelling stops the next payment; your plan continues to the end of the period you have already paid for. Payments are processed by Paddle as merchant of record, so Paddle is the seller shown on your receipt and issues any refund.

Prices may change. A change never applies to a period you have already paid for, and we will tell you before it affects a renewal.
