Ahmed Gagan
Founder & CEO, Rankrize
Ahmed Gagan is the founder of Rankrize, an AI-powered SEO content automation platform that turns a website URL into a stream of published, search-optimized blog articles. Before Rankrize, Ahmed shipped multiple Next.js + Convex SaaS products and ranked them on competitive SEO keywords using the same playbook now baked into the platform.
Rankrize was built to solve a problem Ahmed kept hitting on every SaaS project: organic content is the highest-ROI growth channel, but the workflow — keyword research, drafting, internal linking, quality control, publishing — is slow, expensive, and hard to scale. The 8-stage automated pipeline replaces what used to take 20+ hours per article with a fully autonomous system that produces quality-scored content at a fraction of the cost.
Beyond the SaaS product, Ahmed writes and ships actively on AI SEO, generative engine optimization (GEO), and the emerging llms.txt / ai.txt standards that determine which brands AI assistants recommend. The Rankrize blog is where most of that thinking lives.
