Tampa technology company RankScore has reached 5,000 clients and was recently named SoftDesk's Best SEO Software of Summer 2026.
RankScore, an artificial intelligence-powered search engine optimization platform, helps businesses research keywords, plan content, write articles and publish them to their websites.
The platform is built around an AI assistant named Artemis, which analyzes a website and recommends keywords based on its content, authority and competition. Users can then create and publish articles through the same platform.
RankScore co-founder Sam Frost said the software was developed for small-business owners who want to attract customers through search but do not have the budget for an agency or time to manage several SEO tools.
“I built RankScore because I kept watching good businesses lose to worse ones that just had better content,” Frost said.
The company said it has served 5,000 clients, including small-business owners, founders, publishers and marketing agencies.
RankScore also received industry recognition in July when SoftDesk, a software discovery platform, named it Best SEO Software of Summer 2026.
According to SoftDesk, its editorial team evaluated products based on feature completeness, ease of use, market differentiation, customer feedback and overall value.
“What impressed us about RankScore is its focus on execution,” a SoftDesk spokesperson said.
SoftDesk said it selected RankScore based on its keyword research, automated content planning, AI-assisted article creation and direct publishing tools.
Traditional SEO (search engine optimization) can often require separate tools for keyword research, competitor analysis, writing, publishing and performance tracking.
RankScore combines those functions in one platform, intended to reduce the number of steps required to publish search-optimized content. It can also connect directly to WordPress websites, allowing users to review and publish articles without moving content between systems.
Businesses searching for RankScore reviews can find customer testimonials published on the company's website and across its social media platforms. According to one testimonial, a lawn care business owner said organic traffic doubled after using the platform. Another testimonial from a children's publisher said the company grew from little Google traffic to hundreds of thousands of clicks.
RankScore does not guarantee top placement in Google Search results. According to the company, Artemis identifies search terms a website has a realistic chance of ranking for based on the site's current position in search results.
The approach is aimed at smaller companies that may not have an in-house marketing team. Business owners can connect therit website, review suggested keywords and ask Artemis to prepare an article based on one of those opportunities.
Users remains responsible for reviewing the material and confirming that it accurately reflects their business before publication.
RankScore’s growth comes as businesses compete for visibility in both traditional search engines and AI-powered services. The platform includes features that monitor whether a business or its competitors appear in responses generated by services such as ChatGPT.
Based in Tampa, RankScore joins a growing group of local technology companies developing software for businesses nationwide.
The company said it plans to continue developing Artemis while expanding its search, content and publishing tools.
