modbender Rankscale GEO Analytics
The best generative engine optimization and AI rank tracking for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Mistral, and more.
Overview
RS-Skill connects OpenClaw to the Rankscale API, bringing your brand's AI search performance directly into your assistant. Get visibility scores, reputation analysis, content gap reports, citation intelligence, and more — all in one place.
Ask your assistant questions like:
- "How is my brand performing across AI engines?"
- "Where are my content gaps this week?"
- "Find PR opportunities for my brand."
- "What's our reputation score and what's dragging it down?"
- "Which AI engines am I losing ground on?"
Quick Start (3 Steps)
Step 1 — Create a Rankscale Account (PRO account required — trial not sufficient) Sign up at rankscale.ai and set up your brand profile.
⚠️ Requirements: A Rankscale PRO account (or higher) is required. Trial accounts do not have REST API access. You must be on PRO before requesting API activation.
Step 2 — Request REST API Access & Get Your API Key
- Email
support@rankscale.aiwith subject: "Please activate REST API access for my account" - Once activated (usually within 24 hours), log into your Rankscale dashboard
- Go to Settings → Integrations → API Keys
- Generate a new API key (format:
rk_<hash>_<brandId>) - Copy it immediately — it's only shown once
The Brand ID is embedded in your API key suffix and will be extracted automatically.
Step 3 — Set Environment Variables Add to your OpenClaw Gateway config:
RANKSCALE_API_KEY=rk_...
The Brand ID is optional (auto-extracted from your API key):
RANKSCALE_BRAND_ID=... # Optional — only if querying a different brand
Then run: node rankscale-skill.js --discover-brands to verify your setup.
Tip: Your API key format is
rk_<hash>_<brandId>. The Brand ID is automatically extracted, so you usually only need to setRANKSCALE_API_KEY.
