PicoRank documentation

PicoRank tracks where a site ranks — in search engines and in AI assistants — and tells you what to change. This is the manual for the app, and the reference for the API.

Start here API overview

How the pieces fit

You add a domain. You tell PicoRank which keywords matter, and configure a scan — which search engines, which devices, which places. Each week (or on demand) we fetch those search results, record where you appear and where your competitors appear, and keep the history.

Separately, we crawl your site and analyse it: broken links, thin pages, missing metadata, internal linking, and how well what you publish matches what you are trying to rank for. And we ask the major AI assistants the questions your customers would ask, to see whether you get mentioned.

Everything above is available over the API, with the same permissions and the same plan limits. There is one implementation underneath both.

Using the app

Domains Whole sites and path-scoped outlets. Keywords and lists Adding, organising and labelling what you track. Competitors Measured on your keywords, at no extra slot cost. Scans and geographies What gets fetched, where, and how often. Reading SEO results Positions, visibility, movers — and what null means. Site optimization The crawl-based audit and how to act on it. AI visibility Whether assistants recommend you, and how it is scored. Backlinks What we collect, and from where. Reports and exports PDF, DOCX, XLSX and scheduled email. Integrations Search Console and Analytics. Team and access Members, roles and invitations. Plans and billing What each plan includes and how usage is counted.

API

Overview Base URLs, versioning, and what the API can and cannot do. Authentication Keys, scopes, read-only, and how they are enforced. Spending and quotas Which calls cost money, and how a refusal is reported. Conventions Pagination, idempotency, ETags, rate limits. REST reference Every endpoint, with a sandbox. GraphQL The schema, and GraphiQL. Error catalogue Every code, what it means, what to do. Recipes Copy-pasteable solutions to the common jobs.
