Rankow + Ghost
The current workflowA writing-first publishing platform with native SEO fields and an Admin API.
What the platform already handles
Newsletter-led blogs that want a clean editor on their own domain.
What Rankow adds
Rankow publishes through the Ghost Admin API, so a draft arrives with native SEO fields already filled, and the post re-enters the refresh queue like any other URL.
Side by side
Seven dimensions
| Dimension | What the platform does today · Ghost | Rankow |
|---|---|---|
| Planning basis | Editor or newsletter calendar picks topics | Entity × intent page units; hubs planned before any draft |
| Quality gate | Editor judgement; no fixed word floor | 3,000-word floor plus an information-gain check; no draft skips it |
| Publishing | Write and publish in the Ghost editor | Shopify, WordPress, Strapi, Ghost, Webflow, Wix, Notion, Framer, Next.js, webhook |
| Post-publish feedback | Ghost analytics, not a per-URL 28-day read | 28-day Search Console read per page: index status, position, impressions, CTR |
| Rewrite and refresh | Manual edits in the editor | Refresh at 14 days (7 for thin posts); optimize pages at position 5–20 with CTR under 2% |
| Rollback | Limited post version history | Snapshot on every publish; a drop of more than 3 positions can be reversed |
| Pricing model | Ghost subscription plus writer time | Starter $49/month published; deeper scope quoted after a demo |
