Questions
Everything people ask before they start.
Plans and billing, where the data comes from, what the website and content engines actually produce, and how billing works. If something is missing, ask us directly.
Getting started
What is SERP Kinetic, in one sentence?
An operating system for local businesses and the agencies that serve them: it finds the market, finds and qualifies the leads in it, writes the pitch, builds the website, writes the content, runs the Google Business Profile and tracks the local rankings — against one record, not seven exports.
Who is it actually for?
Local SEO freelancers and small agencies who currently do this across four subscriptions and a spreadsheet, and local business owners who would rather run their own presence than pay someone monthly to do it badly.
Do I need to know SEO to use it?
No, but it helps. The tools show their reasoning rather than a score out of ten — why a market looks open, why a lead is worth calling, why a design was recommended — so the platform teaches the judgement as you use it.
Is there a demo I can look at first?
The homepage carries a working walkthrough of the Web Architect and a live rank-grid demo, both clearly marked as sample data, and the build demo follows a full site build from start to finish. For a walkthrough on your own market, email support@serpkinetic.com.
Plans & billing
How do the plan allowances work?
Each plan gives you a set number of lead searches, proposals, Pitch Dozier reports, Web Architect sites and articles every month, and the dashboard shows how much of each you have left. Every allowance is written out on the pricing page.
What happens when I reach a limit?
That tool pauses until your next billing month, or you can move to a bigger plan straight away. Nothing is deleted, nothing is charged automatically, and everything you have already made stays available.
Do unused allowances roll over?
No. Allowances reset at the start of each billing month.
Is there a free plan or a free trial?
No. Every account is on one of the three plans, because every search, audit and build is a real, paid read of live data. Plans start at $39 a month, with no contract and no setup fee.
What if a run fails halfway through?
It is not counted. A run is only taken from your allowance once it produces something; if a provider times out or a build fails, the allowance is given back automatically.
Data & sources
Where does the local data come from?
Live search and maps data through commercial data providers, plus direct reads of publicly available pages. Nothing depends on you connecting a personal Google account for discovery, so your own accounts are never the thing at risk.
Is the data collection compliant?
We read publicly available business and directory records through licensed providers and public page reads, at a rate that does not put load on anyone’s servers. We do not buy scraped personal data or resell contact lists.
How fresh is what I see?
Discovery runs are live at the moment you press go — that is what each search pays for. Saved leads keep the snapshot from their last run, and re-running a search refreshes them so you can see what moved.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Leads, reports, articles and built sites export in standard formats, and the WordPress push puts a whole site on infrastructure you own. Nothing is held hostage inside the platform.
Websites & content
What does the Web Architect actually produce?
A complete multi-page local site: homepage, a page per service, a page per area, FAQ and contact — written, illustrated, schema-marked and internally linked, from a library of 37 designs and 83 drop-in sections. It builds landing pages, city sites, statewide silos and nationwide coverage.
Can I edit the site after it is built?
Yes, live: eight colour schemes, twenty font pairings, sections you can add or remove, and full control of titles, meta descriptions, schema and internal links with a Google preview beside them.
How does the WordPress push work?
One click sends the built site to your WordPress install through the sync plugin. Edit in SERP Kinetic and push again and the live site updates — you never open wp-admin to publish.
How is Content Forge different from a normal AI writer?
It reads before it writes. Two to seven competitor pages are opened and extracted in full, and the brief — intent, length, reading level, the voice the subject deserves — is decided from what is actually ranking. Only then is the outline built and the article written, each step on the evidence of the one before it.
Does the content sound like a robot wrote it?
The Forge decides per piece who should be writing. A subject people actually do gets written by a practitioner rather than flatly research-led, which is the difference between copy that is accurate and copy that reads like someone has done the job.
Can I white-label what I send to clients?
On Growth and Enterprise. Your logo and colours on the exported PDFs, with no SERP Kinetic mark.
Profiles & rank
What does GBP Management let me do?
Run listings, profile health, posts, Q&A, hours, categories and photos across every connected location from one screen, rather than logging into each profile in turn.
Why grid-based rank tracking instead of one number?
Because local ranking is decided block by block. A single position for a city hides the fact that you are first near the shop and twentieth four suburbs over — which is exactly the information that tells you where to work next.
Do the AI review replies sound like templates?
That is the thing they are built to avoid. Replies are drafted against the specific review, and you approve every one before it goes anywhere.
Account & billing
Can I change plan mid-month?
Yes. An upgrade takes effect immediately with the new allowance prorated; a downgrade takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, so nothing you bought is lost.
Is there a contract or a setup fee?
Neither. Monthly plans are month to month and cancellable from inside the app. Yearly billing is one charge for twelve months at the discounted rate.
What is the refund policy?
A 14-day money-back guarantee on subscription plans. Cancel any time from billing settings in the dashboard.
Does SERP Kinetic work for agencies with many clients?
Yes. Built sites are saved per client and can be grouped as client work or your own projects, and GBP Management works across every connected location. Enterprise is built for that volume: 200 lead searches, 40 city sites and 50 articles a month. If you need more, email support@serpkinetic.com.
Is there a light mode?
Yes — this site and the dashboard both ship a designed light mode as well as dark. Both follow your system preference and remember a manual choice.
No question matches that. Try a shorter word, or email us and we will answer it — and add it here.
Still deciding
The fastest answer is your own city.
Plans start at $39 a month, with no contract. Run one market through it and see what comes back.
