Why teams choose RankmyBlog instead
We host the blog ourselves. Put it on yourdomain.com/blogs with one rewrite, or use the free rankmy.blog address. There's no WordPress to maintain and no plugin to break.
Arvow shares one credit pool across articles, images, page fixes and AI tracking. With us, a post is a post, and your plan tells you how many you get.
3 posts every month on the free plan, with no card and no watermark. It's enough to see whether the writing fits your brand before you pay anything.
Before writing, each post is researched on the live web, and key numbers are confirmed on the cited page. Posts carry footnotes and a sources list, so readers and AI assistants can check every figure.
- Partner backlinks are an opt-in beta, limited to closely related customer blogs on their own domains. We don't buy or sell links.
- No push to WordPress, Webflow or Shopify. We host the blog instead.
- The /blogs subfolder works on Vercel (native rewrite) and any other site via a free Cloudflare Worker.
