About Ranks Hawk

Ranks Hawk checks your competitors' keyword rankings every week and flags the ones moving. See which keywords they're climbing on before they lock in the position, and which they're dropping on so you can move into the open spot.

Every new page a competitor publishes lands in your dashboard the same day it goes live, checked daily via sitemap scans. Three posts on one topic in a week signals they're betting on a keyword cluster — now you know too.

Ranks Hawk surfaces every keyword where a competitor ranks 4–15 — visible but not dominant — sorted by search volume. Hand the list straight to your writers with no extra research required.

Finds competitor pages that still rank but now return a 404, along with the sites still linking to that dead URL. Contact those sites and offer your own page as the replacement — one of the highest-ROI link-building tactics, and one most teams miss.

Shows every site that links to a rival but not to you — warm prospects who already publish in your category. Sites linking to multiple competitors are flagged first, since they're most likely to say yes.

Tracks the exact questions people ask AI tools like ChatGPT where a competitor gets cited instead of you, sorted by how often each question comes up. Publish a page that answers it and you have a real shot at the AI answer.

Connects to Google Search Console for free and shows every keyword you sit in positions 4–19 for, ranked by impressions. Track any keyword over time and watch your own position move week by week.

Starter is $19/month for 3 competitor domains; Pro is $49/month for 10. There's no per-seat fee — you pay for how many competitors you track, not how many teammates log in.

Every plan is month-to-month. Cancel from your account settings anytime and keep access until the end of the period you already paid for — no annual lock-in, no sales call to leave.

Ranks Hawk doesn't try to be an all-in-one SEO suite. One customer, Ashwini at SalesRobot, put it after trying it with her team: "genuinely useful, and refreshingly clean vs. the Ahrefs/Semrush bloat."

Alongside classic rank tracking, Ranks Hawk checks whether AI tools like ChatGPT cite a competitor's answer instead of yours — included in every plan rather than sold as a separate add-on.

Add a competitor domain and checks start automatically — daily sitemap scans, weekly rank pulls, weekly backlink and AI-citation checks. No crawl configuration, no tagging, no setup call.
