Works on its own
You don't need to give it tasks.
Ako keeps its own plan and works through it every week. It sends you a short update on Monday, and messages you when a ranking drops or it needs your OK.
Every day
- Checks your rankings, traffic and which brands AI chatbots recommend
- Tells you when a ranking drops or a search starts trending
Every week
- Publishes new pages and improves the ones you have
- Fixes technical problems on your site
- Pitches sites that could link to you
- Sends you an update and anything that needs your OK
Every month
- Audits your site and your competitors
- Updates the plan based on what worked
Morning. Last week your search visitors were up 4% to 4,720, and visitors from AI chatbots were up 23% to 430. I published the moka pot guide and made your product images load faster. 3 things are waiting for you in the dashboard.
Your decaf page dropped from #4 to #11 for “decaf coffee beans”. Both pages that passed it added an FAQ, so I've written one for yours. Want me to publish it?
Go ahead
Done, it's live. I'll check the ranking again on Monday.
What it does
The work it does for you.
It covers the work you'd otherwise split between an SEO agency, a writer and someone doing outreach.
Writes new pages
Guides and comparison pages that answer what your customers search for, in your brand's voice.
Improves your existing pages
Rewrites titles, product descriptions and old posts that are close to ranking on page one.
Fixes your site
Finds and fixes broken links, slow pages and missing tags that pull your rankings down.
Gets AI chatbots to recommend you
Checks which brands ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini recommend in your category, and works to get you on that list.
Gets you links and listings
Pitches directories, review sites and newsletters in your space. Each link sends visitors and helps your rankings.
Spots seasonal searches early
Notices when searches like “coffee gift box” start rising, and gets a page live before the peak.
It won't touch your paid ads or your branding.
Approvals
You approve anything that goes public.
Ako does without asking
- Research and keyword planning
- Tracking your rankings, traffic and AI recommendations
- Drafting pages and outreach emails
- Audits, reports and weekly updates
Ako asks you before
- Publishing a new page
- Changing a live page
- Emailing anyone outside your company
You can approve from Slack, WhatsApp or the dashboard. If you'd rather not approve every page, you can let it publish some things on its own.
Getting started
We set it up with you on a call.
Connect your site
Connect your store and your Google Search Console and Analytics accounts. You decide what it can access.
Tell it about your business
Talk it through your products, customers and competitors, and how you like to sound.
Get your plan
In the first week it audits your site, records your starting numbers and sends you its plan.
Results
What to expect in the first three months.
Search results take a few months to build. This is the usual pattern.
Week 1
You get an audit of your site, your starting numbers and a plan you can read in five minutes.
Month 1
Your site fixes and first new pages are live. Traffic hasn't moved much yet.
Months 2 to 3
Your rankings start to climb, and so do visitors from search and AI chatbots. Ako puts more effort into what's working.
After that
Pages keep bringing in visitors long after they're published, so your traffic grows month on month.

Common questions
How much does it cost?
It depends on your site and how much you want Ako to do each month. We'll go through it with you on the demo.
How long until I see results?
Fixes and new pages go live in the first month. Traffic from search usually starts to climb in months two and three, and keeps growing after that.
Will it sound like my brand?
It learns how you write from your site and from what you tell it. You also approve every new page before it goes live.
Which website platforms does it work with?
Shopify, WordPress and Webflow directly. On other platforms it drafts the changes and you or your developer publish them.
Do I need a blog already?
No. If you don't have one, Ako includes setting one up in its plan.
Can it publish without asking me?
Only if you want it to. By default it asks before it publishes, changes a live page or emails anyone.
