About

Rankfender is a B2B SaaS platform helping businesses and digital agencies monitor, understand and improve their visibility across traditional search engines and AI-powered search platforms. Founded and developed in Athens, Rankfender combines SEO intelligence, AI visibility monitoring and actionable optimization tools in a unified platform. The company serves an international customer base, with current commercial activity in France and the United States.

Solution & Product

The platform is live and in commercial use. It has three components. ROSE (audit and optimisation engine) crawls a site and diagnoses issues across 15 detector layers grouped into five root-cause areas: Structural (indexability, on-page technical, internal linking, crawl discoverability, Core Web Vitals, accessibility), Topical Authority (structured data, topical coverage), Acquisition (keywords, competitive intelligence, international), AI Visibility, and Conversion & Trust (E-E-A-T, entity and brand, security). Rather than issuing a score, ROSE identifies root causes and generates a ranked action plan. RGCE (content generation and execution engine) turns that plan into published output: automated content planning, standard and deep web research modes, quality-control scoring, branded image generation, and auto-publishing with automatic indexing across nine CMS integrations — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Ghost, Contentful, Strapi, Sanity and Framer. RAISA is an AI assistant scoped to each project's own data. It answers questions about the audit and executes actions directly from chat, such as adding keywords or generating briefs. A free WordPress plugin is published on wordpress.org, providing a low-friction entry point into the platform.

Innovation & Scalability

Innovation. Rankfender's AI/LLM visibility layer measures whether and how a brand appears inside AI-generated answers — a dimension no established SEO suite currently covers. Combined with root-cause diagnosis instead of scoring, this reframes the product from a reporting tool into a decision tool: the customer is told what is actually blocking discovery and in what order to fix it. The audit engine and the content engine are connected, so a diagnosed problem can be executed against inside the same platform rather than handed to a separate workflow. Scalability. The product is language- and market-agnostic: no localisation or physical presence is required to serve a new country, and marginal cost per additional customer is limited to compute. The nine native CMS integrations and the WordPress plugin distribution channel allow the platform to reach customers without bespoke onboarding. The architecture is multi-tenant and project-scoped, which supports a white-label and agency model where a single account manages many client sites — the primary lever for scaling revenue faster than headcount. The AI visibility category itself is expanding as assistant-based search grows, which lifts addressable demand independently of the company's own marketing.

Traction & achievements

Since its commercial launch, Rankfender has developed a growing international customer base with 16 active paying customers across France and the United States. The platform generated €11,925 in confirmed revenue from January to 13 August 2026. The customer base includes monthly and annual SaaS subscriptions as well as a premium backlinking customer paying US$1,000 per month. Rankfender currently supports 8 AI platforms and has multiple production capabilities including ROSE, RAISA, RASE, Ranklink, white-label reporting, alerts and WordPress integration. In August 2026, Rankfender was officially admitted to the Elevate Greece National Startup Registry following evaluation of its innovation and potential for rapid international sales scaling.

Team & Why Us

Rankfender is founded and operated by Mohamed Radhwani, founder and managing director of 361SEO, with more than 15 years of experience across SEO, digital marketing, web development and digital products. The technical development is supported by Imed Radhwani, Technical Co-founder and freelance engineering collaborator. Rankfender's development, intellectual property and source code are owned by 361SEO ΜΟΝΟΠΡΟΣΩΠΗ Ι.Κ.Ε.. The team combines long-term SEO and digital-market expertise with hands-on software engineering experience, allowing the company to continuously develop the product based on real customer needs and the rapidly changing AI search landscape. Why us. The product is built by practitioners who have spent years doing this work manually for clients. Every detector in the platform exists because it addressed a real, recurring failure we encountered in client work — not because it was easy to build. That operating history also gives us a live customer base to test against and sell into.

Funding Needs

Rankfender is seeking growth financing to accelerate product development, AI infrastructure, international customer acquisition and commercial expansion. Funding will be used to expand the platform's AI visibility capabilities, develop new integrations, strengthen cloud and data infrastructure, accelerate sales and marketing in international markets, increase engineering capacity, and invest in cybersecurity and compliance. The company is open to a combination of non-dilutive financing and strategic investment as it scales its SaaS platform internationally.
