# Terms

The terms of early access, in plain words. Updated 14 November 2026

In short

- Rankly only reads. It changes nothing on your site.
- Nobody can promise a place in Google, and we don’t.
- Stop any time, and we delete your site’s data.

## What Rankly is

Rankly finds what holds your site back in Google, Bing and AI answers, writes each improvement out for you and counts what it brought in. It is in early access: it opens to a few sites at a time, and parts of it will change as we learn. We tell you before a change that affects your site.

## What Rankly reads

With the access you give it, and only to read:

- your site’s figures in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools
- your public pages, as any visitor sees them
- what AI assistants answer to questions in your field

It never asks for the login to your site or its editor, and never reads your customers’ details. What we keep, and for how long, is on the [privacy page](https://rankly.cc/privacy/).

## Your site stays yours

Rankly changes nothing on your site itself. It hands you each improvement: the exact text, where it goes and why. You decide whether it goes live. You put it in, or your developer or your own AI assistant does. Rankly keeps the text each improvement replaces, so you can put the old one back.

## What we can’t promise

Google, Bing and the AI assistants decide who they show and name, and they change how they decide. So we don’t promise a place in their results, a number of clicks or visitors, or that an assistant will name you. What we do promise is to count each change honestly, and to say so when a count can’t tell.

An improvement is advice. Read it before it goes live: you know your business and your site best.

## Stopping, and your data

You can stop at any time. Take Rankly’s access back in Search Console and Bing, and write to [hello@rankly.cc](mailto:hello@rankly.cc). We then delete your site’s figures and pages from Rankly. We may also stop a site’s early access, and tell you first.

## Only sites you run

Connect only sites you own or run, or that you have the owner’s say to connect.
