Blog content and local SEO for small businesses

A blog that runs while you work

You're running the business, not a content calendar. Rankbox finds what customers ask Google and ChatGPT about what you do, writes helpful, sourced articles in your voice, and publishes them to your Square Online, WordPress, or Webflow site without costing you an evening.

Who does what

Local businesses

Rankbox runs this

  • Knowing what to write

    The questions customers ask about what you do, found for you.

  • Writing it in your voice

    Sourced, helpful articles that sound like you, not a template.

  • Posting it

    Published to your site's blog on a schedule, or held as drafts.

  • A few good links

    Backlink credits, so your site is more than a menu and a map.

You keep this

  • Your Google Business Profile

    Hours, photos, and reviews. Rankbox doesn't manage listings.

  • Local knowledge

    Your neighbourhood, your regulars, your way of doing things.

  • What you'll stand behind

    Prices, promises, and anything about your own service.

  • The day job

    Serving customers, the reason the blog never got written.

Auto-publish is a switch. Leave it off and nothing goes live without you.

Why the website went quiet

Nobody opens a bakery, a salon, or a plumbing business to write blog posts. So the site still says what it said the week it launched.

01

The last blog post is from the week the site launched.

Articles publish on a schedule that doesn't wait for a quiet afternoon.

02

Customers ask the same questions every day, and the answers only live in your head.

The questions people ask online about what you do become helpful, sourced articles on your own site.

03

People ask ChatGPT for recommendations now, not just Google.

Every article is written and scored for how AI answers read a page, not only for a search listing.

04

Agencies and freelance writers are priced for much bigger businesses.

One plan at $49.50 a month for 30 published articles. No contract, and you can cancel in one click.

What it would write for a business like yours

Customers ask the same things at the counter every day. They ask Google and ChatGPT too, and each question is an article.

How it works

What it asks of you

About ten minutes once, then a glance whenever you feel like it.

  1. 1
    Minute 1

    Paste your website

    Rankbox reads your site, works out what you do and who you do it for, and learns how you talk about it.

  2. 2
    Minute 10

    Pick your topics

    A list of real customer questions comes back. Tick the ones that fit and skip the rest.

  3. 3
    Day 1

    Connect your site

    Add the Square app, or the plugin for WordPress, Webflow, or Framer. Articles publish from then on.

  4. 4
    Any time

    Read, or don't

    Keep new posts as drafts to check first, or let them publish on their own schedule.

What you don't have to hire

The usual ways a small business gets a blog, and why most of them end up empty.

  • A marketing agency

    A monthly retainer and a monthly report

  • A freelance writer

    Per-post rates, plus explaining your trade to them

  • An SEO plugin

    Settings pages nobody has opened since launch

  • Canned blog content

    Generic posts that could be about any business, anywhere

  • Doing it yourself

    Late nights after close, until it stops

Everything above, as one plan

$49.50/month

FAQ

Questions local businesses ask first

The things worth knowing before you run Rankbox as a local business.

No. Rankbox writes and publishes articles on your website. Your Google Business Profile, reviews, and directory listings stay with you. They matter a lot for local search, and they need your hand on them.

No. The Square app only creates and updates blog posts on your Square Online site. It never reads your items, orders, or customers. If your website runs somewhere else, connect that platform instead.

It learns your voice from the pages already on your site, and you can rewrite any article before it goes live, as many times as you like. Keep posts as drafts and nothing publishes until you've read it.

About ten minutes to set up. After that, none, unless you want to read drafts before they go live.

Any business whose customers ask questions before they buy: bakeries, cafés, salons, clinics, trades, studios, and shops. If people ask “how”, “how long”, or “which one” about what you do, there's something worth writing.
