Share links
The four RankX AI surfaces that can be shared without a login, what each exposes, and the one rule that governs all of them.
RankX AI has four surfaces that can be shared with someone who has no account. Each is reached by a token in the URL, and that token is the credential: anyone holding the link can read that artefact.
That is the point. The person who most needs to read a client report or a readiness score is often not the person with the login.
The four
| Surface | What it shows | Typically shared with |
|---|---|---|
| Client report | One period's performance for one Website, with its written narrative | A client's stakeholders |
| AI Readiness report | A site's readiness score, its categories and its findings | A prospect, or a client's developer |
| Content brief | One brief: keywords, reader questions, angle and outline | A writer |
| Keyword report | A keyword research result | A client, or a colleague |
The one rule
The link is the credential. There is no second factor and no account check, so anyone you forward it to can read it, and so can anyone they forward it to.
Three things follow, and they are the whole of using these safely:
Share the link, not the screenshot, when you want it to stay current. A share link renders the artefact rather than a copy of it.
Do not paste one anywhere public. A link in a public ticket, a shared document or a chat channel with a broad membership is a link anyone in that audience holds.
Treat forwarding as republishing. If you would not send the underlying data to someone, do not send them a link to it.
What a share link does not expose
Each link is scoped to one artefact. It is not a login and it is not a session:
- It shows that report, that readiness run, that brief or that keyword report, and nothing else.
- It does not reach your account, your other Websites, or any other client.
- It gives no access to settings, billing, credentials or your team.
White label, and the one exception
A client report shared this way carries your branding when white label is configured.
The link inside an emailed client report currently uses the platform domain rather than your custom hostname. That report is often the one page a client's stakeholder opens cold, so it is the most visible place for it to happen. It is a known open issue rather than a design decision. Do not promise a fully white-labelled report link; the report itself, its branding, its narrative and its sending address are genuinely yours.
Using them well
For a prospect, an AI Readiness share link is the strongest artefact RankX AI produces. It is a specific, evidence-backed read of their site that they can open with no account and no call, and it carries its own coverage fraction so it does not overclaim.
For a client, a report link reaches the person who decides whether to keep paying you, who is usually not the person who logs in. See client reports.
For a writer, a brief link is the whole handover: primary and supporting keywords, the reader questions, the angle and the outline, without giving them access to your account.
Where to go next
- Client reports, the most-shared surface.
- AI Readiness, the most persuasive one.
- Security, for the credentials that are not links.
AI Readiness checks
Every check RankX AI's AI Readiness actually runs, with its category and its weight, generated from the product so it cannot list one that is not run.
