After you start
What happens, in order. Nothing goes live on your site until you approve it, unless you turn review off.
Day 1
It reads your pages and sitemaps, the topics you already cover, your language and brand colors, then plans your first topics from real keyword data. Takes minutes.
Days 1–2
Each topic is researched, written to our contract, put through the quality checks and given a featured image. You approve it, or turn review off, and it publishes at your domain's pace: 1 a day on a new domain, up to 3 on an older one.
Days 1–3
Share Search Console with us and we sync your clicks and queries. Pages that rank on page 1 or 2 but get few clicks get a new title and description to approve.
Week 1
Pages that link to your competitors but not you, and mentions of you without a link, each with an outreach email drafted. Your first AI visibility check runs on Perplexity and Gemini; ChatGPT and Claude are added when the plan starts.
Monday
Clicks and impressions against the week before, what was published, AI visibility and anything waiting for your approval.
Day 7
You're charged only if you keep it; cancel from Billing before then and you pay nothing. On Autopilot Pro, our team starts your videos, outreach, directories and Featured launch after this first payment.

Calls when it helps
A walkthrough before you start, or a look at your Search Console together.
Email hello@launchranked.com and Piyush replies himself, usually the same day. Autopilot Pro adds a private WhatsApp or Slack group with our team.
By card, on a checkout page run by Dodo Payments. Paid launch plans go to checkout right after you submit your launch. Directory submission: pick a tier, enter your site and email, then pay. Autopilot and SEO Skills: sign in and subscribe on the Billing page. Free launches need no payment at all.
Yes, from your dashboard, until your launch week ends: Boost ($15) or Featured ($29). Already on Boost? Move up to Featured for the $14 difference. An upcoming launch can also move to any week, even a full one. Nothing changes until the payment goes through.
Yes. Post about your launch on X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or LinkedIn, tag @LaunchRanked and link your product page. If the post gets 2,000 views, send it from your dashboard and we refund what you paid. You keep the plan. Full rules: launchranked.com/post-and-get-it-free.
No. Every listing that passes review gets the same followed link, on every plan, with no badge required. Paid launch plans buy a faster review, any week even when its free spots are gone, and more visibility.
No. The write-up is part of a paid plan, so its links to you are marked rel="sponsored", as Google's spam policies ask for paid links, and the post says it's part of a Featured launch. It still brings readers and gets your product in front of search and AI. The followed link that helps you rank is the one on your product page, and every launch gets it free after review. For articles that rank on your own site, SEO Skills helps your own AI write and publish them.
It's a subscription at $49/mo, or $199/mo for Autopilot Pro, billed monthly or yearly. Yearly is 12 months for the price of 10 (2 months free): $490 a year for Autopilot. Founding price for the first 100 customers, locked for as long as you stay subscribed. $99/mo after that. Your first subscription starts with a 7-day free trial. Sign in, subscribe on the Billing page, and manage or cancel it there any time.
Up to 90 articles a month instead of 30, and our team on distribution: 8 short videos a month made from your articles with Versely, link outreach we send for you, our Max directory package once and 5 more directories a month, a Featured launch, and a private group with our team, founder included. Articles still go out at a pace your domain can take, so a new domain starts at 1 a day. The 7-day free trial includes everything Autopilot does. Videos, outreach, directories and the Featured launch start after your first payment.
Yes, from the Billing page. Moving up to Autopilot Pro or to yearly billing changes your current subscription: you pay a full period of the new plan, minus credit for the unused part of your current one. During a free trial, the trial carries on and the new plan is charged when it ends. A founding price stays yours when you move from monthly to yearly.
With SEO Skills, your own AI (Claude, Cursor, Codex or another MCP client) writes the articles. We supply the keyword data, briefs and quality checks, and publish to your CMS at a safe pace, up to 30 articles a month. With Autopilot, we do the research, writing, images, title fixes and AI visibility tracking for you. Autopilot includes everything in Agent.
The work depends on your site: how many page families make sense, how much content you need and what's broken today. We look at your site and Search Console first, then send a monthly quote.
Launch plans and directory submission are one-time payments. SEO Skills and Autopilot are monthly or yearly, and Done for you is monthly. All prices are in US dollars.
Directory submission: we guarantee submission, not acceptance. Each tier is submitted to at least the number of directories it lists. The directories decide who they publish, and your CSV report shows every submission and every live link.
It takes a few minutes, and the followed link is the same one paid plans get.
