Your buyers are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews for recommendations. Here's how to get cited as a source instead of buried on page three.

For founders, agencies & lean marketing teams
AI SEO Content Service That Ranks You on Google and AI Search
Done-for-you content and contextual links. We publish 30–50 expert articles to your site each month and build the authority signals that earn rankings — and get your brand cited when AI search engines answer questions in your niche.
The problem
Most founders are losing the SEO game without knowing it.
You know content marketing works. You also know you don’t have time to do it right. So one of four things happens — and none of them get you to page one.
01
You write everything yourself
One good 2,500-word article takes 6+ hours of research, drafting, editing, and uploading. You need 20+ a month to compete. That’s 120 hours — three weeks of full-time work — just on writing. Meanwhile your actual business waits.
02
You hire a content agency
Good agencies start at $3,000/month for writing alone. Add link building, technical audits, and AI search tracking and you’re at $8,000–$12,000/month. Most founders can’t justify that — or worse, pay it and still don’t rank.
03
You use a $24 AI writing tool
500-word blog posts. No research. No brand voice. No images. No internal links. No backlinks. No tracking. You spend hours editing the output and Google’s helpful-content algorithm ignores it anyway.
04
You ignore AI search entirely
Your buyers are asking AI search engines for recommendations right now. “What’s the best…” “Who should I hire for…” If your brand isn’t in those answers, you might as well be invisible — and most SEO tools don’t even track it.
There’s a fifth option. It’s why this page exists.
The shift
The old content stack vs. one subscription that handles it all.
Most founders are paying for 6–8 separate tools to do what one service should do. We rebuilt the stack from scratch.

How it works
How our AI SEO content service works
You give us 5 minutes during onboarding. We give you a content engine that runs every week.

Tell us about your business
During onboarding you describe your audience, your target keywords, and your brand voice. Takes about 5 minutes. We handle everything else.

Who it’s for
Built for operators who’d rather ship than manage writers.
Solo founders
You’re wearing every hat. Content is the one that keeps slipping. We take the whole stack off your plate so you can keep building the product.
Agencies
You need to deliver consistent content to a roster of clients without scaling your headcount. White-label friendly. Each client gets their own dashboard.
Local & niche businesses
Your buyers ask AI for recommendations now. We make sure your brand is in those answers — not just buried on page 3 of Google.
Operator-built
Built by someone who runs this on his own sites.
AS
I’m Andre. Through SitePlot Media I’ve been operating content sites for 10+ years — niche publications in food, finance, health, local news, and home improvement. I built SiteAutoRanker because I needed it for my own portfolio. One subscription instead of seven. One dashboard instead of a spreadsheet pile.
The system you’re looking at is the same one I run on my own sites. Same writing quality. Same link placements. Same dashboard. You’re not getting a watered-down agency version — you’re getting the operator’s tool.

FAQ
Common questions
How quickly do articles start publishing?
Within 7 days of signup. The first few days are onboarding — capturing your voice, target keywords, and audience — then articles start landing on your site on a steady cadence (roughly daily for Starter, more for Pro).
Will the content sound like me, or generic?
Like you. Onboarding includes a voice calibration step where you paste in 2–3 examples of writing you like (yours or someone else’s). Every article is generated against that style guide. You can tune it anytime from your portal.
Are the contextual link placements real?
Yes. They go on 15 real content sites we own and operate — sites with real readers, real organic traffic, and editorial calendars of their own. We pick the most topically-relevant host for each placement and embed it as a natural mention inside a published article. No link farms, no PBNs.
What does “AI search visibility” actually mean?
Buyers increasingly ask AI search engines questions like “what’s the best plumber in Atlanta” or “what software should I use for X.” We track a list of these queries for your business every week and report on how often your brand gets cited as a source. Then we adjust the content strategy to win more of those citations over time.
What if my niche is really specific?
Most niches work. We’ve seen the engine produce great content for local services (plumbers, lawyers, dentists), SaaS, e-commerce, finance, health and wellness, food, and home improvement. If you operate in a tightly regulated vertical where every claim needs a domain-expert sign-off (medical advice, legal services), you may want to add an internal review step before publishing — but the engine still handles the heavy lifting.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancel anytime from your client portal. Everything we’ve already published stays on your site — it’s your content. Contextual link placements stay live too. You just stop receiving new ones.
How is this different from hiring a content agency?
Speed and cost. A content agency that publishes 30 articles a month, builds links, and tracks AI visibility would run $3,000–$8,000/month easily. We deliver the same outputs at $99–$149/month because the workflow is fully systematized. You get an agency’s output at a SaaS price.
Do I have to be on WordPress?
No. WordPress sites can connect for auto-publish. For Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, or custom platforms, choose “file delivery” during onboarding — we’ll send your articles to your inbox or stage them in the portal as ready-to-paste files with images included.
