The affiliate resource hub

Most SEO tools are reporting tools. They hand you a dashboard of rankings, impressions, crawl errors and backlink counts, then leave you to figure out which of the 4,000 things on screen is worth your Tuesday. CrawlRaven does the deciding.

It connects to Google Search Console and GA4, lets you import the keyword research you already paid for from Ahrefs or Semrush as a CSV, runs a technical crawl, and merges all of it into a single ranked list of actions: write this page, update that one, fix this redirect chain, kill this cannibalization. Priority order, not alphabetical order.

What it does, concretely

• Keyword mapping: which page is supposed to rank for which keyword, and where that mapping has broken.
• Cannibalization detection: finds where two of your own pages are fighting each other for the same query.
• Content gaps: queries you get impressions for but have no page targeting.
• Decay tracking: pages that used to perform and are quietly sliding — the highest-ROI work in SEO and the easiest to miss.
• Runner-up keywords: the positions 5–20 terms where a small push moves real traffic.
• Technical site audit (coming soon): a 200-point crawl surfaced as prioritized fixes. The pricing page lists this as coming soon on every tier, so treat it as roadmap — don't demo it.
• White-label reports: agency-ready client deliverables with your branding. PDF is specified on the 10-site plan; match the wording to the tier you pitch.
• Multiple sites on one license: 1, 3, 10 or 100 sites depending on plan, managed in one account.
• MCP server: connect CrawlRaven to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and ask your SEO data questions in plain English.

The free tools (your best top-of-funnel)

CrawlRaven publishes around 50 free utilities at crawlraven.com/tools — crawling and indexing, sitemaps, on-page and SERP, schema generators, and reporting. The most useful to build content on: XML Sitemap Generator, XML Sitemap Validator, GSC Regex Generator, Broken Link Checker, Meta Tag Checker, Website Authority Checker, Redirect Chain Checker, and Hreflang Validator.

The social proof you can quote

• 500-plus SEO professionals using the platform
• 4.5-star rating, 302 upvotes on Product Hunt
• Product of the Day on MicroLaunch

You earn 50% of every lifetime license purchased through your link. CrawlRaven sells one-time lifetime deals, not monthly subscriptions, so your commission lands as a single payment per sale rather than dripping in over a year.

Prices step up every 10 licenses sold and lock forever for the buyer. Always check /pricing for the current batch before quoting a number.

How the program runs: Creem

The program runs on Creem, the payment platform CrawlRaven sells through — so you're paid by a payments company on a schedule, not by a founder remembering a Sunday PayPal. The specifics worth knowing before your first payout day:

• Getting in is self-serve. Join through the public link, we approve partners with a genuine SEO audience (existing customers immediately), and your link, stats and payout settings appear in your own portal at affiliates.creem.io.
• One rate, every product. Creem runs a single program-wide rate, so 50% applies identically to the 1-, 3-, 10- and 100-site licenses. Nobody quietly has a better rate than you.
• Attribution: a 90-day cookie, plus a signed token. Your link drops a tracking cookie. On embedded checkouts a signed creem_ref token is forwarded automatically, so attribution survives the handoff to the payment page.
• Payouts run twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th. Commissions hold roughly 7–12 days after the sale before they clear, so a sale on the 14th won't be in the 15th's run. Weekend and holiday runs move to the next business day.
• Minimum withdrawal is 50 USD or EUR. Below that, the balance rolls forward.
• KYC is required before your first withdrawal. Do it the day you're approved, not the day you want the money.
• Payout methods carry a fee. Bank transfer via Paysway costs 7 USD/EUR or 1%, whichever is higher. USDC on Polygon via Mural costs 2%. On a $19.50 commission a flat $7 fee is a big bite — an argument for batching withdrawals and pushing the 10-site plan.
• Commissions are net of refunds and taxes. A refunded sale is deducted, which is why the claims rules aren't decoration.

Don't pitch “an SEO tool” to “marketers.” Pitch a specific moment of pain to a specific person. Here are the six who convert, in rough order of how much they're worth to you.

Pick one per piece of content. Mixing them dilutes all of them.

1. 1

   The Search Console guilt angle

   Nearly every site owner has GSC connected and nearly none of them act on it. The angle isn't “here is a tool,” it's “you're already sitting on the answer and you haven't opened it.” Highest-converting angle for founders and bloggers because it validates what they already suspect about themselves.

2. 2

   The price anchor angle

   An Ahrefs or Semrush seat runs roughly $100–$200 per month. CrawlRaven starts at a one-time $39. Don't claim it replaces them — claim the honest version: the expensive tools tell you what's true, this one tells you what to do, and it costs less one time than they cost for one day.

3. 3

   The agency deliverable angle

   Reframe the purchase as revenue, not cost. A white-label audit report is something an agency bills for. Ten client sites, one-time $129, and the first report pays for it many times over. A new invoice line item, not a new tool in the stack.

4. 4

   The specific-finding angle

   The most persuasive content in SEO is a real finding on a real site. Run CrawlRaven on your own site, screenshot one genuinely surprising thing, and build the piece around it. “I found four pages of mine competing for the same keyword” outperforms any feature list ever written.

5. 5

   The MCP angle

   Very few SEO tools ship an MCP server. For an AI-tooling audience this is the whole story: your SEO data, inside the chat window you already work in, answering questions in plain English. Novelty carries this one — it works best as a short demo video, and it has the least competition inside this program.

6. 6

   The honest urgency angle

   Batch pricing means the price genuinely rises every ten licenses and buyers lock their rate forever. You don't need to manufacture scarcity: “I hate fake countdown timers, so here's a real one: the price steps up every ten sales and I don't control when.” Say it plainly and it lands harder than any timer graphic.

Never lead with the feature name. Lead with the sentence in the middle column.

This is the part of CrawlRaven with no real equivalent in the category, and most affiliates skip it because they don't know what MCP is. Learn it in four minutes and you own an angle nobody else in the program is running.

What MCP actually is

MCP is the Model Context Protocol — the standard that lets an AI client like Claude or Cursor connect to an outside service and query it directly. Without MCP, getting your SEO data into an AI chat means exporting a CSV and hoping the model reads the right column. With MCP, the AI queries the live data itself. CrawlRaven ships an MCP server. Ahrefs ships one too, but almost nothing else in the audit-and-action category does, and no competitor pairs it with a prioritized action plan.

How it connects

• Endpoint: mcp.crawlraven.com/mcp
• Auth: OAuth sign-in. No API keys — nothing to paste into a config file, nothing to leak in a screen recording.
• Clients: Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, and any OAuth-capable MCP client.
• Included with every paid plan: starting at the $39 one-site license.
• Free preview: one site, up to 20 tool calls a day, 50 results per list. The single best conversion mechanic in the product — tell people to connect it free, let them hit the 20-call ceiling, and the upgrade argues itself.
• Read-only: the connected agent can read the data and cannot change the account. Your answer to the security objection before anyone raises it.

A real workflow: the autonomous SEO agent

This is the flagship MCP story, and it's true. One user wired an AI agent to two things — the Ahrefs API and CrawlRaven's MCP — and now runs their entire SEO operation on it. It's the single most shareable piece of content in this program, because nobody expects an SEO tool to slot into an autonomous agent this cleanly.

Comparison content converts, and it's where affiliates get into trouble. Here is the honest line against each — the line that survives a comment section.

Rewrite these in your own voice — copy pasted verbatim by forty affiliates stops working for all forty. Replace [LINK] with your affiliate link and [FINDING] with something real from your own audit.

1/ Your Search Console has been telling you exactly what to do for the last year.

You just cannot read it.

2/ Here is what is buried in there right now, on almost every site:

Pages ranking 8 to 15 that need one edit, not a rewrite.
Queries you get impressions for with no page targeting them.
Old posts quietly losing 40% of their traffic.

3/ The problem is not that the data is missing.

It is that GSC is a reporting tool. It shows you 4,000 rows and has no opinion about which one matters.

4/ So everyone does the same thing. Opens it once a month. Squints. Closes it. Writes another blog post instead.

5/ The highest ROI SEO work is almost never new content. It is fixing what already half-works.

A page at position 11 that moves to 6 beats three new articles.

6/ I have been using CrawlRaven for this. It pulls your GSC data, your keyword research, and a technical crawl into one ranked list of what to do next.

[FINDING]

7/ It is a one-time payment, not another monthly seat. Starts at $39 and there is a free plan for one site.

[LINK]

1/ A CrawlRaven user automated their entire SEO operation with an AI agent.

Here is the loop. It is unreasonably simple.

2/ The agent is connected to two things:

- the Ahrefs API
- CrawlRaven's MCP

That's it. No dashboard, no CSV shuffling.

3/ Every week it pulls the opportunities out of CrawlRaven:

declining pages
striking-distance keywords
query conflicts
CTR gaps
content decay

Then it builds the plan for the week.

4/ Every day it ships one new page and updates one existing page.

Keyword research runs through Ahrefs based on the trends CrawlRaven surfaces. New keywords go straight into the tracked list.

5/ At the end of the day it opens a PR.

Human reviews, merges, pages go live.

An SEO team of one, plus an agent that never skips a day.

6/ The reason this works is the MCP server. Your SEO data, live, inside the agent — no export step to break.

There's a free preview so you can wire it up before you pay.

ran an audit on my own site expecting nothing

[FINDING]

genuinely did not know that was happening. this is the tool: [LINK]

Most SEO audits I have seen sold for $2,000 are a crawler export with a cover page.

The client gets 3,000 issues sorted alphabetically and no idea which twelve of them will change anything. Nobody acts on it. The retainer quietly does not renew.

The part that takes skill is not finding problems. Any crawler finds problems. It is deciding what to do first, and that decision needs performance data, not just crawl data.

That is the gap I have been closing with CrawlRaven. It crosses Search Console performance against a technical crawl and a keyword map, and outputs a ranked action plan instead of an issue dump. White-label PDF, so it goes straight to the client with my branding on it.

Ten client sites, one-time payment, less than an hour of my rate.

If you sell audits, this changes the margin on them: [LINK]

Tool of the week: CrawlRaven

Every SEO tool tells you what happened. This one tells you what to do next.

It connects to Search Console, takes your Ahrefs or Semrush export, crawls your site, and returns one prioritized list: write this, update that, fix this. I ran it on my own site and [FINDING].

It is a lifetime deal, from $39 one time, and the price steps up every ten licenses sold. There is a free plan for one site if you just want to look.

Subject: the audit part of your retainer

Hi [Name],

Quick one. If you are building client audit reports by hand, you are giving away hours you could bill.

CrawlRaven pulls a client's Search Console and GA4 data together with their keyword research into a ranked action plan, and exports it as a white-label PDF with your branding. Ten client sites on a one-time $129 license.

I use it for exactly this. Happy to send you the report it produced for one of my sites so you can judge the output rather than the pitch.

Link if you want to look: [LINK]

[Your name]

(Heads up, that is an affiliate link. I would send it either way.)

TITLE OPTIONS
I audited my own site and found 4 pages fighting each other
Your Search Console has been telling you this for a year
I asked Claude what to fix on my website (this actually worked)

DESCRIPTION
Most SEO tools hand you a dashboard and leave. In this video I run a full
audit on my own site and walk through what it found, including [FINDING].

Tool used: [LINK]
(affiliate link, I pay for the tool myself)

0:00 the problem with SEO dashboards
0:45 connecting Search Console
2:10 what it actually found
5:30 the fix I made first
7:15 pricing and who this is not for

SCRIPT BEATS
1. Open on the finding, not the tool. "Four of my own pages were competing
   for the same keyword and I had no idea."
2. Establish the pain everyone shares: GSC is open in a tab, unread, forever.
3. Show the connection flow. Keep it short, nobody watches setup.
4. Spend the middle of the video on real findings from your real site.
5. Concede something honestly. Name a limitation or who should not buy it.
6. Price and link last, stated plainly, no hype.

For cannibalization specifically, the manual way is a site: search for the
query plus a GSC query filter, then compare which URL Google actually picks
per query over time. Tedious but free, and it works.

If you would rather not do it by hand, CrawlRaven flags it automatically off
your GSC data. Full disclosure, that is my affiliate link: [LINK]. The manual
method above costs nothing and gets you the same answer.

Commissions are paid on net revenue after refunds. Overselling doesn't just cost the program, it costs you the commission you already booked. Be precise.

Rules that will get you removed

• Not disclosing the affiliate relationship. Required by the FTC in the US and equivalents elsewhere — and it converts better. “That's my affiliate link, I pay for the tool myself” costs you nothing.
• Running paid ads. No paid advertising of any kind for your affiliate links — search, social, display, or bidding on “CrawlRaven” and its misspellings. This is a content-and-audience program.
• Fake coupon pages. Pages built to rank for “CrawlRaven coupon” that promise a code that doesn't exist, purely to intercept the checkout click. Creem doesn't attribute coupons anyway.
• Fabricated reviews or results. Including AI-written “reviews” of a product you've never opened.
• Spam. Unsolicited bulk DMs, comment drops, dumping links in communities you don't participate in.
• Impersonating support. Answering support questions as if you speak for CrawlRaven. Point people at the real support channel.
• Self-referral. Buying through your own link, or routing friends through it with a kickback arrangement.

• Join the program: affiliates.creem.io/join/crawlraven-affiliates (linked from crawlraven.com/affiliates). We review within ~48 hours; existing customers are approved immediately.
• Your link and dashboard: your Creem partner portal at affiliates.creem.io — referral link, revenue, customers, clicks, conversion rate and a 30-day earnings chart.
• Pricing and current batch: crawlraven.com/pricing. Check before quoting a number.
• Changelog: crawlraven.com/changelog. What shipped, when, with screenshots. Check before claiming a feature.
• Free tools: crawlraven.com/tools — around 50, no signup. Your highest-converting content surface.

The changelog is your content calendar

crawlraven.com/changelog lists what shipped, with dates and screenshots. Use it to verify a feature before you claim it, as content triggers (shipping runs at several entries a month — timely beats comprehensive), and for screenshots. A monthly “what shipped in CrawlRaven” recap is one of the easiest recurring formats available to you, and almost nobody in an affiliate program bothers to write one.

Follow @rakesh_rry

The founder posts updates at x.com/rakesh_rry — shipped features, batch price changes and launches show up there first, and the account is a working library of product screenshots, GIFs and demo clips. The highest-leverage move: quote-post a launch with your own honest take and drop your link in the first reply.

What to ask for

If you need something that isn't in the dashboard, ask. Logos and brand files, a demo account with populated data so you can record without exposing a real site, a review copy, or co-marketing on a launch. Affiliates who ask for what they need out-earn the ones who make do. Reach the founder at @rakesh_rry.
