Changelog
What's new in Rankscale
New features, improvements, and fixes across the platform.
Improved
Uncapped search term lists in the Metrics API
GET /v1/metrics/search-terms now supports uncapped=true so API clients can return every operational search term for a brand instead of stopping at the default list limit.
New
Query Fanout Insights
Query Fanout on Brand Details ranks the internal searches AI engines run for your prompts. Overview includes activity over time and previous-period KPI values. Export the current list as CSV or Google Sheets, sort All queries from the table headers, and include Query fanouts on a share link.
New
See citation sources for a sentiment statement at a glance
Opening a sentiment keyword now shows the web sources that support that statement, including a combined list from every matching AI answer. Executions with citation evidence are marked in the list so you can open those answers first.
New
Set or clear expiry on shared dashboard links
Enterprise and Agency Growth plans can set a custom expiry per shared dashboard link in Settings, or remove expiry so a link never expires.
New
Filter branded and non-branded prompts on the Search Terms table
Isolate branded or non-branded prompts from the Search Terms table, not only from dashboard Query filters. On narrower screens, filter pills stack the title above the selection so more filters stay in view.
Improved
Clearer dashboard cards with Latest, period average, and peer badges
Score cards label the hero Latest or Total, show period Ø for the selected range, and can display Leading, Strong, Average, or Attention versus tracked competitors. Chart lists can switch readings. Sources counts current owned domains without double-counting URLs.
New
Brand distribution widgets, a brand presence filter, and a competitor matrix for custom dashboards
Custom dashboards get brand distribution charts, an All / With Your Brand / Without Your Brand citation filter, and a Competitor Matrix that plots brands on two KPIs with optional bubble size.
New
Open a page tutorial without leaving Brand Insights
Brand Insights and Configuration pages now have a Walkthrough control next to the title. Open the matching tutorial in a dialog without leaving the page.
New
Optional project name for brands
Set an optional Project Name in Brand Settings. The sidebar, brand selector, command palette, and Brand Details page title show that label instead of the tracked Primary Brand Name, so you can use a client or campaign name without changing detection.
New
Extra brand slots
Paid Essentials, Pro, Agency Growth, and Enterprise plans can add extra brand slots from Billing without changing plan. Custom plans are not eligible; contact support to add more brands. Extra slots use the same billing interval and renewal as the plan, including a scheduled switch to monthly or yearly. Billing also shows extra-slot cost in the current plan price and can suggest a higher plan when that is cheaper.
Improved
Redesigned Shopping and Ads experience
Shopping **Overview**, **Merchant Cockpit**, **Product Cockpit**, and **Ad placements** are easier to scan on desktop and mobile without wide tables or horizontal scrolling.
Fixed
MCP setup now works with authenticator apps
Connect Rankscale to Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP client while keeping your authenticator app enabled. The identity-confirmation step now presents the second-factor prompt and then completes your connection automatically.
Improved
Clearer metrics and domain-level citations for AI assistants
Your assistant can now tell you which sites cite you most, not just which pages, and gets every competitor metric in a single answer. It also stops confusing Visibility Score with Share of Voice, which are two different metrics on your dashboard.
New
Your AI assistant can now update Rankscale, not just read it
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and ask it to set up your tracking for you. Assistants can now create and update search terms, topics, and dashboard views, activate tracking or run terms on demand with the cost shown first, and pull a full execution including the complete AI answer and every citation.
New
Share of Voice for source-box domains
Inspecting a domain on Sources now shows its Share of Voice: how often that domain appears among every domain cited in the same source boxes, with a trend you can view alone or stacked against others.
New
Shopping and ads data in the Metrics API
The Metrics API now exposes the same shopping and ads aggregates as the in-app Shopping tab, including items, merchants, buy-box winners, ad placements, and your own share of voice.
Fixed
Dashboard filters now apply after selection
Choose multiple dashboard filters without triggering intermediate reloads. Your final selection applies when the dropdown closes, and zero-result combinations stay selected so they are easy to review and adjust.
Improved
Clearer subscription and credits page
Billing now leads with your current plan, usage, and the actions you use most. Change plan, manage billing, and buy credits are easier to find, with a simpler add-credits panel.
Improved
Page Audit V2 lives in Analysis, with clearer page-type results
Audit V2 now shares the Analysis page with classic Page Audit and a unified History. Page-type and language detection are more reliable, and you can correct a wrong category and re-run the audit.
New
Filter branded and non-branded search terms automatically
Search terms are classified as branded or non-branded from your brand name and additional names. Use All, Branded, or Non-branded in the Query filter to isolate each set across dashboard tabs.
Improved
Roll out a Custom Dashboard view across brands
Copy an existing Custom Dashboard view to one or several brands in a single flow. Preview how brand-specific filters will map before creating independent destination views, without overwriting existing dashboards.
New
Sources is now a first-class visibility metric
Dashboards now show Sources between Mentions and Citations, so you can see when an owned URL supported an AI answer even if your brand was not named. The same definition is available in the Metrics API, MCP, and Looker.
Improved
Cleaner competitor charts with Top 5 views
Dashboard competitor charts now focus on the five strongest competitors by default, with one-click controls to show the complete competitive set whenever you need it.
New
Fullscreen presentation mode for Custom Dashboards
A new Fullscreen button in the Custom Dashboard toolbar hides the sidebar, navigation, and filters and switches the browser to fullscreen, so your dashboard tiles get the entire screen. Ideal for presenting or for wall displays.
Improved
Expand any dashboard chart to a fullscreen view
Hover any chart on the brand dashboard and click the new expand icon to open it in a large, fullscreen-style view, so dense charts with many topics, engines, or competitors are readable without leaving the page.
Improved
Smarter Page Audit with rendered-page analysis and prioritized fixes
Page Audit now analyzes the fully rendered page, so JavaScript-heavy and bot-protected sites are read correctly, with redesigned five-pillar results and prioritized top fixes.
New
Enterprise SSO on login and invitations
If your organization uses enterprise SSO, Rankscale now detects it from your work email. Continue with your company identity provider on login and when you accept a workspace invitation.
Improved
Redesigned brand setup wizard
A rebuilt onboarding flow that makes setting up a new brand faster and clearer, with a guided first-run experience.
Improved
Microsoft Copilot search query fan-out
Execution details now show the web searches Microsoft Copilot ran while answering your prompt, matching the existing ChatGPT fan-out view.
New
Track sponsored ads in AI shopping answers
See the sponsored placements ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overview show for your tracked queries, with an advertiser leaderboard and your own ad share of voice.
Improved
Hierarchy and tag filters, now for everyone
The Brand Details hierarchy filter and tag include/exclude filters are out of beta and available to all users.
New
In-app live chat support
Chat with our support team directly inside the app, alongside the existing ticket flow with email confirmations.
New
Rankscale MCP Server
Connect Rankscale to AI assistants like Claude and Cursor with our authenticated remote MCP server, so they can query your visibility data directly.
Improved
New and updated AI engines
The engine catalog stays current automatically. Claude Haiku 4.5, Gemini 3 Flash, and Gemini 3.1 Pro joined, and deprecated models migrate your terms with no action needed.
New
Copy dashboard views across brands
Start a new custom dashboard from another brand's saved view instead of rebuilding the same layout brand by brand.
New
White-label logo on shared dashboards
Upload your own logo and it replaces the Rankscale logo on every white-label dashboard you share with clients.
New
Traffic intelligence for the AI era
The Traffic tab grew into a full intelligence suite. See which AI engines send visitors to your site, spot funnel and FAQ gaps, catch decaying content, and get prioritized SEO opportunities.
New
Traffic analytics: Google Search Console & GA4
Connect Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 to bring your organic traffic and search performance into Rankscale, right next to your AI visibility. Now in beta.
New
Shopping Merchant and Product Cockpits
Two new Shopping views. A Merchant Cockpit for retailers, covering competing merchants, price competitiveness, and buybox wins, and a Product Cockpit for product brands.
New
Manage brands and search terms through the Metrics API
The Metrics API now includes management endpoints, so you can create and manage brands, search terms, and topics, control credits, and trigger runs programmatically.
New
Agency tools: plans and brand folders
A dedicated Agency plan plus sidebar brand folders, so agencies can organize many client brands into custom groups like Active, Pitches, and Archived.
Improved
Deeper citation and source analysis
Richer citation insights for individual URLs and domains, an improved source analysis inspector, and a dedicated Source Box for exploring where your citations come from.
New
Custom Dashboards
Build your own dashboards from citation, sentiment, shopping, and data-source widgets, save multiple views, share them read-only, and export to PDF. Now in public beta.
New
Metrics API and Looker Studio connector

Improved
Unified date-range picker
A single calendar-style date-range picker across Brand Details, with a separate control for how data is aggregated.
New
Command palette (Ctrl+K)
Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac) anywhere in the app to fuzzy-search brands, folders, and quick actions, and jump straight to them.
Improved
Topics and Search Terms tabs on shared dashboards
Optionally expose read-only Topics and Search Terms tabs on shared dashboard links, so clients can browse tracked terms and topics without an account.
New
Multiple domains per brand
Track several owned domains and subdomains under a single brand, so citations and sources across all of them roll up together.
Improved
One Brands hub for brands, search terms, and topics
The aggregate Brands, Search Terms, and Topics views now live under a single Brands section with a quick switcher, replacing three separate sidebar destinations.
Improved
Prompt Research export to Google Sheets

Shopping analysis now covers Google AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot alongside ChatGPT, aggregating products, prices, and merchants across all shopping-capable engines.
Improved
AI Overview tracking is now 4x cheaper
Google AI Overview executions now cost 0.25 credits instead of 1, so you can track four times the volume for the same spend.
New

New
Grok tracking and live Google AI Overview snapshots

New
AI Page Audit v2
A rebuilt page auditing engine that analyzes your pages in parallel, keeps a full audit history, and exports to PDF.
Improved
No more data gaps when credits run out
Search terms stay active when your credits are exhausted and resume automatically once credits replenish, instead of being deactivated.
New
Annotate your performance charts
Pin notes to the Brand and Search Term timeseries charts to mark launches, campaigns, or fixes, and edit or rename them safely from a dialog.
New
Flexible tracking intervals
Choose how often your search terms run, from bi-hourly to daily, weekly, or monthly, to match how fast your space moves and how you spend credits.
