Add a domain. The engine handles the rest

No. Google's policy is explicit: it judges content quality, not how it was made. Articles that demonstrate experience, expertise, and original value rank, regardless of whether a human or AI wrote the first draft. GrowGanic scores every article across 60+ signals before it publishes, so what hits your CMS is built to rank, not to fill a word count.

Every article is graded on 60+ signals across 6 categories before it hits your CMS. Articles that score under 87 do not publish. Articles that score above 87 do. There is no "almost ranked it" tier. The score is the gate. The 6 categories cover technical structure, trust signals, AI search visibility, keyword coverage, on-page structure, and readability. Anything that fails one of those categories gets rewritten before it leaves the pipeline. Quality is not a goal. It is a hard threshold.

Yes. On connected CMSs we publish to draft by default, so you can review, edit, or reject before pushing live. If you trust the engine, flip auto-publish on and articles go live the moment they cross the score threshold. Either way, the engine never overwrites edits you make on your CMS.

Those tools score what you already wrote. GrowGanic writes and publishes the article in the first place. The output of Surfer is a higher-scoring draft you still have to publish; the output of GrowGanic is a published, ranking article on your site. Different category.

Two reasons. First, the data. Ahrefs and Semrush run on crawled keyword databases. Long-tail keyword data is often 3 to 6 months old by the time you see it. GrowGanic queries Google live on every research run. The SERP you see is the SERP that exists today, not last quarter. Second, the work. Ahrefs tells you which keywords to target. That is where it stops. You still need a writer, an optimizer, a publisher, and hours of your own time every week. GrowGanic does all of that automatically. You are not replacing Ahrefs with GrowGanic. You are replacing Ahrefs plus everything that comes after it.

No. Your domain, articles, keywords, and analytics are tenant-isolated and never feed a training set, ours or anyone else's. The scoring engine, optimization passes, and pipeline that turn a keyword into a published article are ours; they treat your data as cargo, not training fuel. Your content is yours. Same policy in our privacy policy, plain English.

No, and anyone who does is selling you a fantasy. Rankings depend on your domain authority, niche competitiveness, indexing speed, and a dozen things outside any tool's control. What we guarantee is the only thing we control: every article ships at 87+ content score, optimized for both Google and AI search, and goes live on your CMS.

Like you. The engine reads your existing articles, your homepage, your product copy, and your About page before it writes the first paragraph. It picks up your tone, your sentence length, your level of formality, and the words you actually use for your product. If you do not have any existing articles, the engine matches a default tone for your category (technical, lifestyle, B2B SaaS, ecommerce). You can override that and pick a different tone in 30 seconds. Once you do, every article from then on writes in that voice.

Free ships one article so you can see the engine work on your own blog within minutes of signing up. To generate more, start the 7-day free Pro trial: no charge today, 30 articles a month unlocked immediately, full autopilot. Pro is $40 a month billed annually after the trial. Business is $116 a month billed annually and ships 150. Same engine, more output.

Then stay on Free. We mean that. One article goes live on your hosted GrowGanic blog, full quality, real URL, indexed by Google. No card on file. No upsell email cadence. The reason most people upgrade is not pressure. It is impatience: after the first article they want the next ten published this week, not someday. If that is not you, Free is the right plan.

Yes. One click in Settings, no support ticket, no exit survey, no retention call. Your articles stay where they are because they're on your CMS, not ours.

Your first article publishes within minutes of adding your domain. By default it goes live on your hosted GrowGanic blog so Google can start indexing immediately. Move publishing to your own domain in a few minutes (one DNS record OR connect a CMS) and every article from then on builds your own domain authority. SEO impact (Google indexing, position climb, clicks) is typically 4 to 12 weeks, in line with how Google actually works. Anyone promising overnight rankings is either lying or about to get your site penalized.

Two answers, depending on which. If your niche is competitive, the engine adapts. It analyzes who actually ranks for your target keywords, finds the angles those articles miss, and writes against the gaps. You will not outrank Wikipedia in week one. You will start owning the long-tail keywords your direct competitors have not covered. If your niche has thin volume, the engine still produces ranking articles. Most thin-volume niches have a deep tail of question-shaped queries that AI search engines now answer. GrowGanic optimizes for that surface, not just for blue links. A niche with 200 monthly searches is a niche with 2,000 monthly question-shaped prompts in ChatGPT and Perplexity. We rank in both.

Yes. Pro covers 3 domains. Business covers 10. Each domain runs its own engine, its own keyword research, its own competitor set, and its own CMS connection. No cross-pollination. No keyword cannibalism. Agencies running more than 10 client domains get a custom plan and white-label PDF reports. Email [email protected].

No. You enter your domain. The engine starts writing and publishes article one to your hosted GrowGanic blog automatically. If you want the articles on your own domain (recommended for SEO), you have two five-minute options: connect a CMS (WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, and 6 more) with one click, or point a DNS record at us for a custom subdomain. If you can paste a URL, you can run GrowGanic.
