SERP simulator

What it is

The simulator is a sandbox. Paste a draft page and it predicts where that page would rank and how much traffic it would take from competitors — before you publish it and find out the expensive way.

How it works

1. Extract the same signals the crawler uses from the draft, so the simulation is scored on the same basis as a live page.
2. Score against the ranking factors the historical model has learned weights for: difficulty, content depth, entity coverage, schema, links, freshness, title and meta quality, and Core Web Vitals proxies.
3. Combine with site authority and keyword difficulty to predict a position range.
4. Diff against the current SERP to estimate traffic captured, including displacement from the pages it would outrank.

What it does for your site

It lets you fail cheaply. A draft that scores badly against a keyword's ranking factors is a draft you improve before publication, when the fix costs nothing, rather than three months later when you have to fight an established page's history.

It also makes content briefs concrete. Instead of "write about CRM integrations", the brief says which entities to cover and which schema to include, because those are what the simulation says are missing.

Where the results go

Simulations draw on authority and SERP data, and the projected numbers roll up into forecasting.
