The package decides what you may know
Your keyword list is not set by your market. It is set by whichever tier your agency bought.
$100 tracks 2,000 keywords. Your competitors come back on the same calls, and we do not charge you for those.
It is a per-query cost with a markup on top. That is the entire mystery.
Your keyword list is not set by your market. It is set by whichever tier your agency bought.
A capped list gets filled with terms that look good in a deck. The uncomfortable ones quietly do not make the cut.
The rival positions are already sitting in the same search result. Charging again to show them is a pricing decision, not a cost.
What we are not claiming: That every agency does this on purpose. Most inherit a tool cap and pass it on without ever questioning it. The result on your side is identical.
There are no tiers to graduate between and nothing unlocks at a higher price.
Past the end of the slider it is the same rate. Nothing changes at scale except the arithmetic.
A check is one live search result, pulled fresh. Checking four times as often costs four times as much, because it is four times the work.
They are read out of the same search result your keyword already paid for. Charging twice for one call would be a choice we would have to explain.
$100
2,000 keywords, checked once a month. That is 2,000 live searches a month.
Waitlist only for now. Nothing is charged and no card is taken.
Every price on a comparison table is somebody guessing on your behalf. Here is yours instead.
Your monthly spend divided by the searches it buys.
Same spend, same frequency, no keyword cap.
Nothing you type here is sent anywhere. It is arithmetic running in your browser.
| How it works | Tracker on a tier | Inside an agency retainer | The Blunt Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| What sets the price | The plan you are on | The retainer, bundled | Keywords times checks |
| What caps your list | A number in the plan | Their tool, not your market | Your budget, visibly |
| Competitor positions | Usually a higher tier | Shown when it flatters | Six domains, included |
| Where a position comes from | Varies. Some estimate | Whatever tool they resell | A live search, per keyword |
| Outside the top 100 | Often shown as 100 | Often left out | Reported as not ranking |
| When you leave | History stays with them | History stays with them | Export it and go |
The two middle columns describe how those models are structured, not what any named company charges. We have not audited their invoices, so we are not going to print numbers for them. Use the calculator above with your own.
A tracker that only ever shows good news is a screensaver.
One live search per keyword, sorted by position. Nothing outside the top 100 gets handed a flattering number.
Sharp drops, top ten movement in both directions, ranking URLs that changed underneath you, and your own pages competing.
Both columns, same size, on the same screen. The losses do not get a smaller font.
Position by position across your whole list, plus share of visibility. Read from calls you already made.
One run tells you where you stand. The shape of the line tells you whether the work is working.
Kept per domain, location and device, so a desktop check never gets compared against a mobile one.
Written now, while it costs us a signup, rather than later when it costs you a month.
One caveat worth reading: A rank check is one search, at one location, on one device, at one moment. Anybody selling you a single true position for a keyword is selling you a simplification.
You get one email when it opens, and one more if it never does. That is the entire sequence.
Because a rank check is a small, known cost, and we are pricing close to it rather than building a margin into a tier ladder.
Our money is made on the SEO work. This is not the thing we are trying to get rich on.
Their positions are already sitting in the same search result your keyword paid for. Reading them costs us nothing.
Charging for them would be a pricing decision dressed up as a feature.
No. It is a separate thing at a separate price, and it is not bait for a retainer conversation.
Then this is aimed straight at your tool bill, and you are welcome to it. We are not going to pretend otherwise.
The only thing we would ask is that you do not cap your clients at a number and call it a strategy.
We do not have a date, so we are not going to invent one to make the waitlist feel urgent.
If it never ships, everyone on the list gets told that too.
