SAEO vs the toolkits
Rank Math and Yoast are excellent toolkits. SAEO Pro is the coach that tells you what to do with the site this month — including when not to sprinkle FAQs everywhere.
| Job | SAEO Pro | Rank Math | Yoast |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is it? | SEO + AEO coach with a monthly Growth Plan | SEO toolkit (titles, schema, sitemaps…) | SEO toolkit + content analysis |
| Primary promise | Know what to do this month | Configure every SEO toggle | Optimize each post as you write |
| Built for | Brochure & local business WordPress sites | Any site size, feature-max | Content-heavy & general sites |
| FAQ / AEO coaching | Money pages or one hub — never everywhere | Schema blocks & modules | Schema & readability checks |
| Research | Metered live research + free cache | Keyword tools / add-ons vary by plan | Limited / partner tools |
| AI | Honest meters: Quick 1 · Deep 3 · Chat 1 | Content AI on higher plans | AI features on premium tiers |
| Free tier | Full local coach (plan, audit, schema) | Strong free toolkit | Strong free toolkit |

Meta drafts, light Ask AI answers, fast model.
Strategy / Growth Plan refine, site model — gpt-4o-class.
Live lookup. Refresh costs more. Cache reopen is $0.

FAQ
Free keeps Mission Control, the auditor, schema tools, checklist, editor coaching, and Strategy suggestions. The six-month Growth Plan, hosted research, and Strategy AI unlock on Pro+ — Free is never an empty shell.
Yes. Pro covers one site. Studio (5) and Agency (50) are built for freelancers and agencies, with a shared research/AI credit pool across activations.
Quick AI (meta drafts, light Ask AI) = 1 AI credit. Deep Strategy / Growth Plan refine = 3 AI credits. Chat = 1 per message. Live research = 1 research credit; reopening cached results is free. Included credits reset monthly.
Many sites run a classic SEO toolkit for sitemaps/robots and use SAEO as the coach. SAEO is not trying to replace every toggle — it tells you what to do this month and helps you do it.
When hosted accounts ship, connecting a site grants a one-time taste: 15 AI + 25 research credits — enough for a Strategy refine, a few Ask AI turns, and a couple of keyword lookups.
Yes. Move between Pro, Studio, and Agency as your client list grows. Scale (200 sites) is sales-assisted if you outgrow Agency.
Self-serve checkout is shipping next. Until then, reserve your plan with the form on this page — we lock early-access pricing for the first 200 sites and email you when payment is ready. No charge until then.
No card required for Free. Paid plans: cancel anytime, no lock-in. When self-serve billing launches, annual plans include a 14-day refund window — we will state that clearly at checkout.
Tell us your email and which tier you want. First 200 sites lock this price. No card for Free. Cancel Pro anytime — no lock-in.
