Byword vs Rank Revival

How do I get started?

Sign up and get 5 free articles immediately—no credit card required. Upload your existing content so we can learn your voice, pick a topic, and generate your first article in under two minutes. Most users are publishing within an hour of signing up.

Who owns the content I create?

You do—100%. Every article generated through Byword belongs entirely to you. Publish it, sell it, repurpose it however you like. We never claim any rights to your content, and nothing is shared or reused.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

You can—but you'll re-explain your brand voice every session, manually research what competitors are ranking for, copy-paste into your CMS, and hope the structure is right for SEO. Byword learns your voice once and remembers it. Enter a keyword and it researches automatically. Click publish and it goes straight to your site. Same AI, none of the busywork.

How long does it take to generate an article?

Most articles are ready in 60–90 seconds. Research-intensive pieces with competitor analysis and citations take 2–3 minutes. You can queue dozens of articles at once—we'll generate them in parallel and notify you when they're ready.

Who is Byword built for?

Content marketers, SEO teams, and agencies who need to produce high-quality articles at scale. If you're spending hours writing blog posts, managing freelancers, or struggling to keep up with content calendars—Byword handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on strategy.

How does Rank Revival work?

Rank Revival downloads your website data from Google Search Console, and sorts it by the URLs that have been declining in traffic over time. This allows you and your team to focus refreshing content that needs it the most.

How can I keep track of the articles that have been refreshed?

We have a built-in notes and calendar system that lets you keep detailed notes about what you've changed in your content and when. You can hide your optimized content for a scheduled amount of time, and after that time period has passed, the page can reappear in your to-do list - but only if traffic is still declining after the changes you made.

Why would I want to update old content?

As time passes, new competitors have released more useful, comprehensive articles, or older information or facts may have changed. Updating older content periodically allows both your users and the search engines to understand that they're reading fresh and valuable information.

My content is evergreen, so do I really need to refresh it?

If your traffic is declining over time, or if you've never ranked highly for your chosen keyword, your content may be evergreen, but it's likely missed the mark. If no one is finding your content, refreshing it or even completely rewriting it from a new angle may be what is needed.

How do the AI audits work?

Our AI audits are trained on the same methods we teach our writers and editors to do content audits. Right now, we have 3 audits with more to come. The Helpful Content audit analyzes your article against the questions in Google's help doc and gives recommendations on what could be improved. Our competitor audit looks for topics your competitors have covered that are missing from your articles, and our Information Gain audit looks for ways you could incorporate useful and interesting data, quotes, and citations into your existing content.
