Frequently asked
How does RankForge audit a Next.js site?
It crawls your rendered pages like a browser, checks them against its rule catalog, and uses its knowledge of Next.js conventions (generateMetadata / metadata export) to trace each issue back to the file that produces it.
Does RankForge commit to my Next.js repository directly?
Never. Fixes arrive as small pull requests on RankForge's own branches. You review and merge; nothing reaches your main branch without you.
Will fixing these issues improve my rankings?
No tool can honestly promise rankings. RankForge fixes the technical layer so your pages can be crawled, rendered and indexed correctly — the part of SEO your repository controls.
