We combine our in-house expertise with the top minds in SEO to deliver insights to everyone passionate about SEO.
SE Ranking has evolved over the years, and our brand identity has changed with it. The next logical step is to match our verbal and visual messages with the company SE Ranking has become, and we’re leaping into that future today!
Both you, our users, and the SE Ranking team, described our brand as trustworthy, friendly and wise, but also as ambitious and motivated. It will probably won’t come as a surprise then that our brand’s archetype is 80% Sage and 20% Hero. Our new logo and visual identity were designed to match these archetypes.
SE Ranking’s logo consists of two upward-pointing arrows that embody our mission to spur business growth with innovative SEO solutions. Together, they form an “S” sign. A mix of sharp and rounded angles represents the balance between being growth-driven and people-centric. While SE Ranking celebrates continuous development, we always put our customers and team first.
The new SE Ranking is modern but mature, laconic but lively. Let’s look at the key features and initiatives that led to this transformation.
AI Results Tracker and AI Overview Studies to keep you at the forefront of GenAI
The SEO industry must adapt as new tools backed by LLMs continue to change user search habits. We may soon witness the rise of AI search engines. We are committed to being your reliable partner in the new search era.
SE Ranking has actively monitored Google’s GenAI initiatives since the launch of AI Overviews (ex SGE.) Back in 2023, we were among the first SEO companies to start working on a tool for tracking AI snippets, and it was first available to a limited number of closed beta testing participants. Since August 2024, our very own Al Overviews Tracker is finally live and included in our Pro and Business subscription plans 🎉 Take some time to set it up and start tracking AIOs for your top keywords.
You can also check which keywords—yours or your competitors’—trigger AIOs with our Competitive Research tool. All SE Ranking users have access to this newly launched feature.
While the SE Ranking dev team worked on improving our AI Overviews Tracker, the SEO team collaborated with developers and content marketers to study the impact of AIOs on the SEO industry. In February 2024, we conducted extensive research based on 100,000 keywords.
Two more AI Overview studies followed, where we analyzed the same set of 100K keywords. The first one investigated how the number of AI snippets and their characteristics changed pre-and post-AIO rollout. The second extensive research focused on AIO sources. Finally, we released a manual study last week investigating the difference between how Search GPT, Google and Bing handle various types of queries. Our next ad-focused AIO research is scheduled for this week. Subscribe to the SE Ranking digest to get your hands on it. It comes with a PDF containing findings from our second AIO research study.

SE Ranking’s SEO tools powered by AI and ML technologies
Search engines are not the only ones using AI and ML technologies. Almost every SEO and marketing tool out there claims that it’s driven by some sort of AI or ML techunder the hood, but don’t get too skeptical. When applied wisely, AI and ML can improve data quality by a wide margin and deliver unique Insights.
SE Ranking combines AI and ML technologies with proprietary engineering solutions to empower users to make smarter data-driven decisions:
- SE Ranking has integrated ML tech into its Competitive Research tool for more accurate traffic forecasting.
- We also applied ML to boost our Keyword Research with the search intent detection feature.
- Our Content Editor is equipped with an AI Writer. It uses both SE Ranking’s AI algorithms and GPT-4o API to quickly generate content drafts that require minimum polishing.
- SE Ranking’s AI Insights Tool analyzes your projects and highlights issues that can significantly boost site visibility when addressed.
- SE Ranking Reports will soon have AI descriptions, giving your clients a better understanding of the data you provide.
SE Ranking does not plan to become an AI-first tool. Instead, we believe in using AI and ML technologies sustainably. We use them when they best fit the problem that needs to be solved.
Expanded and enhanced datasets to supercharge your strategies
We already mentioned that ML tech has allowed SE Ranking to forecast website traffic more precisely. Currently, it is 29% more accurate than ever before.
