Find out on WhatsApp who beats you on Google and which questions to answer with SE Ranking
Ask on WhatsApp who beats you on Google: an AI agent compares your domain in SE Ranking and suggests questions for your blog.
How do I know who beats me on Google and which questions my blog should answer?
You write to your Met on WhatsApp something like "who beats us on Google and what should we write about?". The Met first checks how many credits you have left in SE Ranking, returns your domain's traffic and keyword overview, lists your organic competitors in your country database and compares your domain with the one you choose to see the keywords they have and you do not. With those keywords it finds the questions people ask and replies with topic ideas. Everything comes from the SE Ranking Data API, with your main account and your credits.
What starts it
When someone asks for it
It starts when someone on the team asks the Met about competitors or ideas for the blog. Each query runs on request and spends its own credits; this procedure does not leave a scheduled report.
A manual task: someone on the team runs it with a button, or asks the Met for it in chat.
Who runs it
SEO analytics Met with SE Ranking
This is not a named, seeded Met. It is an internal Met with SE Ranking connected: its work ends when it delivers the competitors, the missing keywords and the questions found, or when it tells you which query it could not bring and why.

The procedure, step by step
Each step shows the tool that runs. They belong to the real connector: if one of them stopped existing, this page would not build.
- 1
Check credits before starting
The Met checks your SE Ranking subscription to know how many API credits you have left. That query spends no credits, and if the balance is not enough, it tells you before going on.
- 2
Get your domain overview
The Met returns your domain's global overview, with its traffic and its organic and paid keywords, to have a starting point before comparing you.
- 3
List your competitors in your country
The Met lists your domain's organic competitors in the database of the country where you sell and asks which one you want to compare with. For very large domains the list can come back trimmed.
- 4
See the keywords you are missing
The Met compares your domain with the chosen competitor and separates the keywords you share from the ones they have and you do not. Those are the candidates for new pages.
- 5
Find the questions people ask
For the keywords you are missing, the Met finds the questions that contain each keyword, which are the ones a blog article can answer.
- 6
Reply with topic ideas
The Met replies on WhatsApp with the competitor, the keywords you are missing and a list of questions grouped by topic, so you decide what to write first.
Before you start
What you need ready
The Met solves none of these for you. If one is missing, the automation stops there.
-
A main SE Ranking account with API access
The Data API is charged in credits from your SE Ranking account, and the data you can query depends on your subscription. You connect the main account, not a sub account.
-
SE Ranking connected in Met
In Met, open Connections → SE Ranking → Connect and sign in with the main SE Ranking account the admin authorizes.
-
An internal Met your team writes to
A Met with SE Ranking enabled and a WhatsApp line your team uses to write to it. It is not a customer conversation: it is an internal query.
The limits
What this automation does NOT solve
Better said here than discovered halfway through the rollout.
-
It does not write the article. It gives you the keywords and the questions; writing and publishing the content stays with you or with another automation.
-
It is not free. Every Data API query spends credits from your account; only checking your subscription spends none.
-
It does not work with a sub account. In a shared workspace, API access is in the main SE Ranking account.
-
It does not alert you by itself when a competitor passes you. Someone on the team asks for each query; this procedure does not leave a scheduled alert.
FAQ
Questions about this automation
Yes. The Met repeats the comparison with each domain you choose, and each comparison spends its own credits.
Because every Data API query spends them and checking the subscription does not. That way you know whether they are enough before asking for several queries in a row.
For very popular domains the response can be larger than what the connector delivers at once, so it can arrive incomplete. If that happens, ask for the comparison with one specific competitor.
Competitors are queried in a country database. If you sell in several countries, ask the Met for the query for each one.
