Self-hosted SEO platform for site audits, rank tracking, keyword research, backlinks and AI visibility, using your own data-vendor keys.
RankMeFast at a glance
Checked 18 Oct 2026RankMeFast is an AGPL-3.0 SEO web app (v0.1.0, public beta) run with Docker Compose. It covers site audits (26 checks), rank tracking, keyword research, backlinks and link gaps, competitor discovery, Search Console and GA4, AI-answer visibility, white-label reports, a REST API and an MCP server. It does not crawl or scrape itself: real data needs a paid DataForSEO account (plus optional Google, Firecrawl and LLM keys). A fake provider mode lets you try it without keys. Expect breaking changes during the beta; hardware needs are not documented.
