RankTree Help Center & Documentation

Q: Can I export my topical map?

Yes. You can export structured CSV files, JSON payloads, or high-res visual diagrams directly from any project.

Welcome to the RankTree knowledge base. Here you will find comprehensive guides on importing keyword datasets, understanding AI clustering outputs, exporting content briefs, and managing your account.

1. Getting Started & Keyword Import

What keyword export formats does RankTree accept?

RankTree accepts standard CSV and XLSX files exported directly from major SEO tools, including Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, SEMrush Keyword Magic Tool, Moz, and Google Search Console. You can also paste raw keywords directly into the manual input box.

What columns are required in my CSV?

At minimum, your CSV must contain a Keyword column. Including Search Volume and Keyword Difficulty (KD) columns is highly recommended so RankTree can calculate cluster traffic potential and recommend prioritization.

2. Understanding AI Keyword Clustering

How does RankTree cluster keywords?

Unlike basic tools that merely look for shared words (lexical matching) or volatile search engine result page (SERP) snapshots, RankTree uses natural language processing (NLP) embeddings to evaluate semantic similarity and user intent. This groups synonyms and related concepts together even when exact wording differs.

What is the difference between Pillars, Sub-pillars, and Clusters?

Pillars: Broad parent categories that represent the core foundation of your website (e.g., "Keyword Research").
Sub-pillars: Mid-level category subdivisions that bridge broad themes into specific operational areas (e.g., "Keyword Clustering").
Clusters: Tight groups of 3 to 15 closely related keywords that should be targeted by a single focused article or landing page.

3. Generating & Exporting Content Briefs

How do I generate an SEO content brief?

Within your generated topical map, click on any cluster node and select "Generate Content Brief". RankTree will analyze the cluster keywords and generate a complete outline including primary keyword, recommended H2/H3 headings, search intent target, and suggested internal links.

How can I export my topical map?

You can export your content plan in three formats: structured CSV (ready for Google Sheets content calendars), JSON (for automated CMS workflows), and high-resolution PNG/SVG images for client presentations.

4. Billing, Accounts & Refunds

How do I upgrade or cancel my subscription?

Navigate to your Billing settings in the top navigation. You can upgrade your plan, change billing intervals, or cancel your renewal at any time. If you cancel, you maintain full access until the end of your prepaid period.

What is your refund policy?

All first-time subscription payments are covered by our 7-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, email support@ranktree.io for a full refund. Review our complete Refund Policy.
