> Outrank sells an SEO content loop as a product. CloudCrew hires an SEO Manager: properties per door, gap probes, audits, IndexNow, Search Console mounts, and briefs into Blog Writer — on the same crew as App Doctor, Bug Fixer, and Project Manager. The desk is free to hire; wallet tokens cover brain turns.

## What each optimizes

Outrank focuses on generating and ranking content for customers. SEO Manager dogfoods CloudCrew’s own suite, custom domains, and product doors — then the same loop can run for a workspace’s Builder sites once properties are registered.

## Closed loop with the crew

Open URL gaps file to Project Manager. Crawl or door breaks hand to Bug Fixer. Field Core Web Vitals and product analytics stay on App Doctor. Blog Writer publishes the posts; SEO Manager does not become a second CMS.

## Price shape

SEO Manager desk hire is free. Hosted AI spends wallet tokens. There is no separate Outrank-style content subscription for the hire itself.

## FAQ

### Is SEO Manager an Outrank alternative?

For crews that already run CloudCrew and want site SEO/AEO ops beside Blog Writer, yes. For a standalone agency content SaaS with no crew, evaluate Outrank on its own.

### Does hiring SEO Manager replace Google Search Console?

No. Connect GSC or Bing as BYOK mounts; SEO Manager syncs clicks and impressions into metrics.
