Reports, workbooks and Action Planner

From RankGear.wiki

Every RankGear run leaves files the user keeps: a timestamped, color-coded XLSX workbook plus optional HTML reports that can be read in the app, white-labeled for clients and published as a report hub[1] . The Action Planner turns one saved workbook into no more than eight cited tasks that a user approves before anything is created[2] . Bulk Runs repeat audits or full analyses across a list of pages, each with its own workbook[3] .

Key facts. RankGear writes a timestamped XLSX workbook for every full run, with optional branded HTML companions, and its Action Planner turns one workbook into up to eight approved, cited tasks[1][2] .

Overview

RankGear's reports page describes the workbook and HTML reports as artifacts "you keep"[1] . The in-app Reports library shows factor-family coverage, opens generated HTML inside the app and reveals workbooks in the file system[1] . Filenames carry the target domain, keyword, date and time to the millisecond plus the report type, so several runs for the same query on the same day do not overwrite each other[1] . Reports are kept in a local folder the user chooses, and nothing is uploaded[1] . The run that produces them is described in Analysis Run.

The workbook and its tabs

The workbook opens on a Start Here tab that links to the first sheet in each group, and the tab colors indicate the group[1] :

A genuine measured zero for the tracked page is shown in red so it does not disappear in a wide comparison[1] . The Zone Architecture tab relates to the On-Page Audit, and the Topical Heatmap and BM25F tabs to Content Intelligence.

HTML reports and white-labeling

Every full analysis writes the workbook automatically, while the HTML companions can be turned on or off without changing any measurement[1] . The Analysis Summary reproduces the in-app dashboard as a self-contained, branded file; the Strategic Summary is aimed at clients and covers intent, category progress, top supported priorities and up to ten statistically significant factor charts[1] . Content comparison, JSON-LD examples and factor documentation can also be written alongside the workbook[1] .

Chart types follow the evidence: adoption charts for yes-or-no signals, scatter plots for rank relationships, distributions for the field's spread, bullet charts for target comparison and ranked bars for individual competitors, with line charts kept for real time series[1] . Branding settings add a custom header and replace the default footer[1] . Site Builder turns a folder of reports into a browsable hub with an index and sitemap and publishes it over FTPS, FTP, SFTP or SCP[1] . The use-cases page lists publishing a client report hub as one of the jobs RankGear is used for[4] .

Action Planner

The Action Planner reads one saved .xlsx workbook and uses an AI provider the user already has a key for, Claude, OpenAI or Gemini, to draft a backlog[2] . The provider and its cost are shown before anything runs, and the workbook itself is never uploaded; RankGear sends only a bounded, source-labeled extract[2] . It does not fetch the target page or the competitors, so everything it proposes traces back to a cell in the selected workbook[2] .

RankGear validates the values the model returns and writes the citation line itself; recommendations with altered or unknown evidence, or generic advice that cites no number, are rejected[2] . Each task is graded Strong evidence, Useful lead or Needs verification, based on correlation strength, field adoption, sample depth and gap size, and the model cannot choose its own grade[2] . A task carries the current value, goal and deficit, ordered steps, phase, priority, effort, dependencies, competitor examples and acceptance criteria[2] .

Every recommendation starts unchecked[2] . Approved work can be exported as a plain-language Client Brief in HTML or sent to a ClickUp list the user picks; ClickUp is optional[2] . After a rerun, a Verify completed work step sorts each factor into Goal reached, Improved, Regressed, Unchanged or Needs verification, and reports rank movement separately without claiming the task caused it[2] . Run-to-run comparison is covered in Diff, Trends and Volatility.

Bulk runs

Bulk Runs takes one keyword and URL per line, with optional city and state for local search, and performs either an On-Page Audit or a full Analysis Run on every row[3] . Each row reports its rank and optimization score and writes its own timestamped workbook and chosen HTML companions[3] . The queue writes an atomic recovery checkpoint and offers Resume, so an interruption such as sleep or a dropped connection does not repeat finished, paid work[3] .

The maker notes that a portfolio of full analyses at top 100 depth takes real time and real provider calls on the user's account, and that audits are lighter than full runs[3] . RankGear's use-cases page lists agencies standardizing analysis across people, pages, clients and locations as a main use for Bulk Runs[4] . The workflow behind each row is in How RankGear works.
