Shortlisted at the US Search Awards 2025, we introduce rankingCoach.

At rankingCoach, we believe that small businesses deserve the same marketing power as global brands. That’s why we created the #1 AI-powered all-in-one digital marketing platform — tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that want real results without needing big budgets, time, or technical knowledge.

Today, we’re proud to share that rankingCoach has been shortlisted for the 2025 US Search Awards, recognizing our outstanding work in making digital success accessible to businesses everywhere.

Who We Are

Founded with a mission to democratize digital marketing, rankingCoach provides an intuitive, AI-driven platform that handles everything from SEO and local listings to social media, reviews, and paid ads. We don’t just simplify digital marketing — we automate it.

Trusted by 1 million+ websites across 38 countries, we offer support in 15 languages, and our product is white-labeled by 50+ leading global partners, including telcos, web hosts, and CMS providers. These partnerships help us deliver seamless, built-in digital marketing solutions directly to the tools and dashboards small business owners are already using.

At the core of our product are modular AI assistants, each dedicated to a specific area of marketing. These assistants are not static tools — they learn. They adapt to the user’s tone, niche, and business goals, refining strategies and tactics over time to deliver the best possible outcomes.

What Our AI Assistants Help You Achieve

Let AI do the heavy lifting across all key areas of digital marketing — delivering real results for your clients:

Get Discovered (SEO) – Boost visibility on Google and AI search engines with smart SEO.

Create & Publish Social Content (Social Media) – Get ready-to-use social posts powered by trends and AI insights.

Stay Consistent (Listings & Directories) – Sync your business info across 30+ directories — automatically.

Build Trust (Reputation) – Collect and reply to reviews with AI. Track sentiment in real time.

Generate more traffic (Google & Social Ads) – Run optimized Google & social ads in a few clicks — no guesswork.

The Work That Got Us Shortlisted

Our entry for the US Search Awards focused on the transformation from DIY marketing tools to autonomous AI-powered assistants, delivering real outcomes to SMBs instead of just more tools and dashboards.

Here’s what set our AI-powered platform apart:

Key Innovations

  • AI SEO Assistant – Scans websites, creates tailored keyword strategies, and writes optimized content in seconds.
  • AI Review Management – Automates personalized replies, generates reviews via QR codes & emails, and analyzes sentiment.
  • AI Social Content Creator – Suggests, schedules, and publishes content based on trends, AI insights, and competitor analysis.
  • AI Onboarding – Instantly builds a marketing strategy by analyzing a user’s website, industry, and competitors.
  • Directory Sync & Listings – Maintains consistency across 46+ platforms, including automatic sync with Google Business.
  • Mentions Monitoring – Tracks web and social references to the business, with sentiment tagging and direct source links.

Every feature is built to solve a real SMB problem — from generating more traffic and reviews to simplifying campaign execution and online reputation management.

Results That Speak

  • +110% increase in app engagement
  • +46% increase in product activation
  • +50% growth in business directory listings
  • +31% rise in AI-generated published reviews
  • Up to 30% more traffic within 90 days for SEO users

These numbers represent thousands of real businesses seeing measurable success: restaurants getting more reservations, local shops improving foot traffic, and service providers attracting new clients — all without needing a single marketing hire.

Behind every stat is a small business owner who now has time to focus on what they love doing, while rankingCoach runs in the background, optimizing their visibility and brand.

What Being Shortlisted Means to Us

Being recognized by the US Search Awards validates everything we’ve worked for: simplifying digital marketing and helping SMBs get found, grow faster, and compete smarter.

For our team, it’s more than just an accolade — it’s a milestone that celebrates the collective innovation, customer obsession, and relentless drive that fuels our platform every day.

What’s Next for rankingCoach

We’re not stopping here. In fact, we’re only just getting started. Our future roadmap includes:

  • Deeper analytics and benchmarking, helping users make smarter, faster decisions with actionable data.
  • Further automation across advertising, including dynamic retargeting, local ad optimization, and omnichannel smart spend management.
  • Expanded partner integrations, offering seamless plug-and-play marketing capabilities within hosting platforms, CMS providers, and telecom dashboards.

Our ultimate goal? Make it so that any SMB, anywhere in the world, can market like a pro — even without one.
