What's new at Rank Networks
Our releases, newest first. Each one lists what it added in plain words, with a link to the feature's own page where there is one.
Drafts from your AI assistant, and reports in seven languages
Your AI assistant can now prepare replies, posts and profile changes for you to approve, and you can ask questions about one business without leaving the app. Client reports can go out in seven languages and from your own email address.
- AI connector drafts: Claude or ChatGPT can draft review replies, Google posts and profile changes, and each draft waits in Rank Networks until a person approves it. Read more
- Scans and audits from your assistant: Ask your assistant for a map scan or a GBP audit and it tells you the cost first, then runs it only once you agree. Read more
- Ask about this listing: Chat with the Rank assistant about one business from its overview or the profile editor, and apply a suggested change in one click.

- Free instant GBP check: Score any Google Business Profile in about a minute and see the first fixes, free and with no account, on the GBP audit page.

Can AI find you? in the GBP audit

- AI crawler check: We load the homepage the way ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Bing do, to see whether they can read it. Read more

A free map scan on the Grid Ranker page
Anyone can now see where a business ranks on Google Maps around its address before creating an account.
Service-area businesses and the blog
Businesses that hide their address on Google, such as plumbers and cleaners who visit their customers, can now be found for audits and map scans. The blog opened with its first guide.
