Check Your Website vs AI Rank Lab
AI Rank Lab automates the work. We make sure you can see and trust it.
The short version
AI Rank Lab bundles a free audit, an optimisation agent and content publishing. Their Autopilot Beta describes page crawling, schema, metadata, content gaps, priorities and file preparation, with an llms.txt generator, bot logs, WordPress publishing and GA4/GSC connections. Free gives 100 credits; Starter is $69/month with 10,000 credits, Professional $149, Enterprise $499.
Check Your Website takes one public URL and scores nine areas, each with the evidence behind it. You get a roadmap split into what you can publish yourself and what needs a developer, and after you publish we re-run the specific check your change depended on and record whether it is fixed, improved or still failing.
The difference is who makes the change, and whether you can tell that it worked.
Side by side
| Check Your Website | AI Rank Lab | |
|---|---|---|
| Core question | What do I change on this page, and did it work? | How do I automate AI optimisation across my site? |
| Audit | Nine areas on one URL, each with evidence | SEO/AEO/GEO audit, schema, metadata, content gaps |
| Who makes the change | You do. AI never edits your site | Autopilot agent and prepared content/files |
| Publishing into your CMS | No | Yes, WordPress publishing documented |
| llms.txt generation | No — we check what a machine can read from the page you have | Yes, generator included |
| Verification after a fix | Re-runs the one check that area depends on: fixed / improved / still failing, score before and after | New audits; an explicit per-change proof is not documented |
| Maturity | Focused product, one job | Broad feature set; Autopilot is labelled Beta |
| Entry price | Free check, no signup | Free tier of 100 credits; Starter $69/month |
What AI Rank Lab is genuinely good at
Breadth for the price. If you want one subscription that audits, generates files, writes content and publishes to WordPress, AI Rank Lab advertises more of that under one roof than we do. The credit model is generous at the Starter tier, and for anyone who wants the work done rather than explained, an agent is a reasonable thing to want.
We have not tested the quality of their diagnoses or their agent, so we make no claim about it either way. A long feature list is not evidence of a better product — in either direction.
What we do differently
You can see why, not just what changed. Every one of our nine area scores shows the exact line, tag or missing answer behind it. When an agent edits your site, you inherit changes you did not review and cannot explain to anyone who asks.
We never touch your site. No CMS connection, no publishing, no generated files pushed anywhere. You make the change, we re-check the public page.
Verification is the specific check, re-run. Not a fresh audit with a different number, but the one test your change depended on, recorded as fixed, improved or still failing, with the score before and after.
Deterministic scoring. The same page state always produces the same score. When the number moves, the page moved — not the model's mood.
One page, one order, one next step. A roadmap ordered by how much score each change can still win, split into what you can publish yourself and what needs a developer.
Which one should you pick
Pick AI Rank Lab if you want automation across many pages, you are comfortable letting an agent prepare and publish work, and a broad feature set at $69/month fits how you work.
Pick Check Your Website if you want to understand your own page, keep control of what gets published, and have proof that each change did something.
What we do not claim
We do not generate content, files or llms.txt. We do not publish to your CMS. We do not monitor brand mentions, we are not a ranking report, and we promise no rankings, traffic or citations.
