RankPlan

RankPlan tells a new product which startup directories are worth submitting to, ranked for that product, in about two minutes. The site's job was to get people to try it straight away, because the result itself is the pitch.

The brief

There are hundreds of directory lists online, and most of them are noise: long spreadsheets with no sense of which listings actually help a new product. RankPlan’s answer is a tailored plan in two minutes.

The website couldn’t afford to explain that in paragraphs. Anyone landing on it is a founder in the middle of a launch, short on time and wary of yet another list. It had to show the result, straight away, and make trying it feel like no effort at all.

The idea

Put the product in the hero. The first thing you see is a real plan for a sample product: what the tool read, which directories to submit to this week, which give a followed link and how strong each one is. One field, one button, and yours builds the same way.

Everything below the hero supports that one action. A short “how it works”, the full directory list to browse, and a plain guide to what the numbers mean. Every section ends one step away from starting a free plan.

The build

A fast static site with the plan preview rendered as real, readable content rather than an image, so it reads well on a phone and gives search engines and AI tools something meaningful to understand.

The directory list is the quiet workhorse. Every directory has a page of its own, with what it costs, whether the link is followed and who it suits. That makes the site genuinely useful to browse, and gives it a page for almost every directory a founder might search for.

What it does now

Visitors see the value before they type anything, and the free plan is one step away from every section. The directory pages bring in founders searching for specific listings, and lead them to a plan built for their own product.

On the site

What we built
for RankPlan.

  1. 01

    A real result in the hero

    The first screen is a finished plan for a sample product: what the tool read, the directories to submit to this week, and how strong each link is.

  2. 02

    One field, one button

    Nothing to sign up for and nothing to configure. Paste a URL and the plan starts building.

  3. 03

    A browsable directory list

    All 126 directories can be filtered by free, paid and followed links, and sorted by strength, so the site is useful even before you run a plan.

  4. 04

    How it works, in three steps

    We read your site, we score every directory, you get a plan. Short enough to take in at a glance.

  5. 05

    The numbers, explained

    A plain-English guide to domain rating, followed and nofollow links and search visits, so first-time founders know what they're looking at.

  6. 06

    Who's behind it

    A short, honest founder section that explains why the tool exists, which matters for a free tool asking for your URL.

Search and AI

Built to
be found.

A beautiful site nobody finds is a poster in a drawer. Here's what's under the surface of rankplan.io, so Google and AI assistants understand it and send people to it.

From the clientSample
“I didn't want a site that explained the tool. I wanted one that just ran it. That's exactly what we got, and people start a plan before they've even scrolled.”
