What is Arcline?

About ArclineReviewed 12 November 20263 min read

Short answer

Arcline is an AI SEO product that reads every page of your website, scores how ready it is for Google and for AI answers such as ChatGPT, and tells you what to fix. If you connect GitHub, WordPress or Ghost and allow it, it makes the safe fixes itself, checks each one on your live site and undoes any that fail. It cannot promise rankings.

What does Arcline do?

Arcline looks after the technical and on-page side of being found. It visits your pages the way a search engine does, scores what it finds in plain words and builds a to-do list that says what it can do itself, what needs your OK and what only you can do. It covers Google and AI assistants, because customers now use both.

It is software, not a team of people. Arcline does not offer human consulting, does not buy links and cannot promise a ranking. It is a young service built and run by Preet Patel, the founder of TheScaleLab, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Customers in India pay in rupees and everyone else pays in dollars.

How do I get started?

  1. Type your website address and prove the website is yours. You paste one line into your header code box, add a DNS note or publish a small text file. Nothing visible changes.
  2. Optionally connect GitHub, WordPress or Ghost. Without a connection Arcline only looks and tells you what to improve.
  3. Choose how much it may do, then press “Start reading my website”. A progress bar shows the first full read, which takes minutes.
  4. Open the dashboard. Home shows what needs your OK, Scores shows your health score out of 100, and Approvals holds the to-do list.

Setup takes about five minutes and you can stop at any point, because Arcline remembers the step you were on. Creating an account can ask for an invite code while access is limited.

What does it check, and what can it fix?

AreaWhat it looks atWhat it can do
Page basicsTitles, search descriptions, headings, image descriptions, social previews, preferred-address linksFixes titles, descriptions and previews through GitHub or Ghost; WordPress allows titles
Technical healthBroken links and pages, redirects, sitemap, robots.txt, speedMostly exact steps for you, because these live in your host, theme or content
Search markup and AI readinessStructured data, direct answers, llms.txt, whether AI crawlers can read your pagesWrites markup, llms.txt and a drafted FAQ page through GitHub
Keywords and contentWhat people search for, gaps, competitors you addPlans and drafts articles for your approval (Premium)
AI answersWhether assistants mention or link to youStores their answers week by week and alerts you to drops (Premium); Free gives one snapshot

How do I stay in control?

Every website has an access level that works as a master rule: whatever else is switched on, Arcline never does more than the level allows. You choose the level in the last setup step. The screen marks the levels that are part of Premium, and “Look only” or “Ask me first” are gentle places to start.

  • Look only: it reads your website and changes nothing.
  • Ask me first: it prepares fixes and waits for your OK.
  • Fix small things (Premium): it handles small, safe fixes itself and double-checks them.
  • Publish for me (Premium): it can also add and publish new pages.
  • Full care (Premium): it can also change sensitive settings, but still asks each time.

Who is it for, and who is it not for?

  • It suits owners of small and medium websites who have no time to learn SEO and want a plain list of what to do.
  • It suits freelancers and small teams who look after a few websites, since Premium includes 3, with more at $2 each per month.
  • It does not replace a strategist who knows your market, and it does not run campaigns, outreach or link building.
  • It fixes things automatically only on GitHub, WordPress and Ghost. Other platforms are scanned and scored, with fixes given as exact steps: see which platforms it works with.
  • A scan reads up to 200 public pages, so a very large website is covered in part.

What does it cost, and what are the limits?

The Free plan costs nothing and covers 1 website, the scan, the scores, the to-do list and up to 10 fixes a month that wait for your OK. Premium is $9 per month or $86.40 per year, for 3 websites (more at $2 each per month), unlimited fixes, the autopilot, AI-answer tracking, the content studio and competitor watch. You pay through Polar and can cancel any time. See the pricing page or the pricing answer.
