Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common Grandranker questions.
Getting started
How long does setup take?
About five minutes: six onboarding steps, then Grandranker researches keywords, builds a 30-day calendar, and starts your first article. See Onboarding Walkthrough.
Do I need to connect a CMS?
No — articles are always available in the app to review, edit, and export. Connecting a CMS lets Grandranker publish for you. No CMS at all? Use Hosted Blog or JS Embed.
Can I try Grandranker before paying?
Yes. Free accounts generate up to 3 articles. Daily generation and scheduled publishing need a paid plan.
Article generation
How often are articles generated?
Daily, up to your plan's quota, following your Content Planner. A second pass later that day catches anything missed.
Can I control what gets written?
Yes. The Content Planner calendar sets the keyword and topic per article. Style, branding, and links are in Article Settings.
Can I edit articles before they go live?
Yes, every article starts as a draft in the editor. Whether it publishes automatically depends on your auto-publish setting (see below).
Publishing
Do articles publish automatically?
Only if auto-publish is on for that website. Off means articles wait as drafts for manual review. See Articles & Editor.
What happens if publishing fails?
Grandranker retries once a day. After the retry cap, you're notified to fix the integration and republish manually. See Troubleshooting.
Can I schedule when articles publish?
Yes, each article follows the publish date set by your content calendar.
Languages
What languages can Grandranker write in?
Over 100, from English and Spanish to Slovenian and Swahili. Pick your primary language during onboarding.
Can one website publish in multiple languages?
Yes, add languages to a website to generate and publish in each. See Languages.
Billing
How does billing work?
Billed through Stripe at the organization level. Manage plan, payment method, and invoices in the billing portal (requires billing permission). See Plans & Billing.
Shopify merchants: if you installed via Shopify, billing runs through your Shopify invoice instead of Stripe.
I run an agency: can I manage multiple clients?
Yes. Agency mode manages separate client organizations from one account. See Agency Mode.
How do I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel?
Through the billing portal, under plan settings — changes take effect immediately via Stripe.
