Research Process

Before writing, RankWriting researches the target topic to ensure the article contains current, accurate information.

How research works

1. ·The system builds search queries from your keywords and topic
2. ·It fetches and analyzes recent relevant web pages (news, blogs, authoritative media)
3. ·The AI extracts key facts, data points, and trustworthy sources
4. ·This information is structured and injected into the generation prompt

What gets extracted

• ·Industry statistics and figures (with source domains)
• ·Recent trends and news events
• ·Expert opinions and quotable statements
• ·A list of credible sources (used for external link suggestions)

Credibility filtering

Sources are scored for credibility. Only high-credibility sources (score ≥ 5) are used. Low-quality and content-farm sites are filtered out.

How research appears in the prompt

Research results are injected with a strict instruction:

Use only the facts from the research data above. Do not fabricate statistics or quotations.

This ensures every specific figure in the article traces back to a real source.

Quick mode vs. Research mode

• ·Quick mode — Skips web research and generates directly from the AI's training knowledge. Faster, but less current.
• ·Research mode — Full research pipeline. Higher accuracy and fresher data, recommended for topics where up-to-date statistics matter.
