FAQ
How is budgetSEO so much cheaper than Ahrefs Lite?
We focus on rank tracking, keyword research, competitor overviews, and competitor keyword alerts. Free accounts check rankings when you click. Starter and Pro update automatically, and cached searches are free so we pay for data once and pass the savings on.
How accurate are the rankings?
We check Google’s live results for the exact country, language and device you choose, and report your exact organic position anywhere in the top 100.
What counts as a credit?
Credits pay for live searches. A keyword search, a domain overview, backlinks, and AI mentions each cost a fixed number of credits. A result already cached from the last 1-3 days is free. Rank checks do not use credits.
How do free rank checks work?
Free accounts track 15 keywords on one site and check them when you click. Each keyword can be refreshed every 30 days. Starter and Pro check automatically.
Can I track rankings daily?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Up to 100 of your ranking keywords can be rechecked every day, on top of automatic weekly updates for the rest of your list.
Which AI tools does AI visibility cover?
Google AI Overviews, including whether they cite you on tracked keywords and how often they mention your domain. ChatGPT mention counts are for the United States in English. Pro also asks your saved prompts in ChatGPT and Gemini.
What if I need more than Pro?
Agency is usage-based. The quote follows the projects, keywords, and credits your clients need, and includes team seats, webhooks, and custom integrations. Open the chat from the pricing page and we will scope it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Manage or cancel your subscription in one click from the billing portal. Your data stays on the free plan.
