Content you already have
Your lists sell their top spots
Lists that already rank in Google are what AI quotes. Businesses pay a monthly price to hold a position in them, for a set term.
For publishers
Your content earns every month. On autopilot.
Businesses pay a monthly price to be in the lists you already rank with. Autopilot writes the new articles they book and keeps every spot live. You get paid every month for the spots you hold.

Earn from what you have, and from what we write
Two kinds of income, both on autopilot.
Content we write for you
Autopilot writes what businesses book
Businesses book new articles and posts. Autopilot writes them with their facts and your tracked links, and publishes after your OK if you want one.
Example Examples. Not real data.
What autopilot does while you're away
- MondayBooks Brand A into position 1 of your sales tools list, at $400 a month.
- TuesdayWrites a new article Brand B booked, with their facts and your tracked links.
- WednesdayUpdates an older article so it keeps ranking.
- Every dayChecks that every paid spot is still live.
- Every monthYou get paid for every spot you held and every piece that went live.
Autopilot on: this all happens without you. Off: each deal waits for your OK.
Fewer clicks. Your lists still count.
Search traffic to publishers is falling, while AI answers still lean on the lists publishers write. Rank Monthly turns that into monthly income.

What your site earns
Businesses book spots on your site through Rank Monthly. Every paid spot has an end date and is checked while it runs.
What stays in your hands
- Your prices
- Use the suggested prices or set your own, per position, per page or for the whole site.
- The businesses on your site
- Autopilot only books businesses that fit your topics. You can switch automatic booking off.
- How much autopilot does
- With autopilot off, you write yourself and approve each deal.
- Your numbers
- Every figure businesses see comes from your connected Google data, with the date it was last synced. Nobody types in traffic numbers.
How it works
Connect once. Autopilot does the selling, the writing and the checks.
One invoice in. Every publisher paid.
Businesses pay Rank Monthly. We hold each payment until your spot is live, then pay you every month for the spots you hold.

- Books the spots within budget, priced from real clicks
- Writes the content from the business's own facts, in the publisher's voice
- Publishes on the publisher's site, with tracked links
- Checks that each spot is live, every day of the term
- Pays and reports releases payment once a spot is live, then reports and renews every month

Questions from publishers
- Who can join?
- Blogs on their own domain, newsletters and LinkedIn creators. Sites on a shared platform's subdomain, like yourname.medium.com, can't sell articles.
- Do I have to write the articles?
- No. Autopilot writes and updates them with each business's facts. With autopilot off, you write yourself and approve each deal.
- How do I get paid?
- Every month for the spots you hold, and once for a new post after it's verified live.
- Do paid spots need a label?
- Paid placements have to be disclosed under the rules that apply to you. Google asks for paid links to be marked as sponsored, and many countries ask for a visible label. Rank Monthly can add both. You decide how paid spots are labeled on your site.
- What does it cost?
- You hear the fees in your demo, before anything is booked.
