Rank and Publish is a software app that helps small businesses publish content across platforms and improve how they show up in search and AI tools. If you keep seeing it mentioned and aren't sure whether you need it, the short answer is this: it fits best if you want to be found online but don't have time to do the work by hand.
What Is Rank and Publish?
We built it at Successful Online Stores (SOS), the company behind Mike Tidmore's website and automation work. Before the app existed, we charged local businesses $2,000 a month for manual SEO work. The app is the automated software we built after that.
Mike has 23 years of experience in this line of work, and we have completed over 1,000 websites. That background shaped what the app does.
What the App Can Do for Your Business
Customers now ask AI tools questions as well as searching Google. Clear content, published consistently, gives both a better chance of finding you. Here is where the app helps:
- Publishing in more than one place. You can publish content across platforms so you aren't posting to each one by hand.
- Search and AI visibility. The app is built to help your business be easier for search engines and AI tools to find.
- Promo videos. A promo video maker is now part of the app. You can read about the promo video maker here.
No tool can guarantee rankings, leads or sales, and we don't promise them. Results depend on your business, your market and how consistently you publish. Our AEO results timeline explains what to expect.
Do You Need Rank and Publish?
It is probably worth a look if you know visibility matters but never find the time to write and post. It also helps if you want one place to manage publishing instead of juggling several.
If your website is outdated or doesn't exist yet, start there. Content works best when it points to a solid site. We use a three-phase process: discovery, planning and building, and launch with coaching. See our website design and AI automations page for details.
