Ripe Planner Documentation

Overview

Ripe Planner is a keyword research and content-planning tool built for food creators. It helps you decide which recipes to make, when to publish them, and how they build your search authority over time. Your data syncs to the cloud automatically and is available from any device you sign into.

Beta milestone rewards

While Ripe is in beta, building up your keyword library earns you free months once paid plans launch:

• 100 keywords → 1 free month of Pro
• 500 keywords → 3 free months of Pro (the 100-keyword month plus 2 more)

Your progress shows as a banner at the top of every tab, with a running count and a progress bar toward the next milestone. No action needed beyond adding keywords — it's tracked automatically from your library count.

How Ripe's guesses work

Ripe Planner doesn't use AI anywhere right now. Every "guess" you see (category, tags, the SERP difficulty estimate, the DA check verdict, seasonality analysis, rubric scoring) runs on plain code: rule lists, keyword-matching, and formulas applied to real search data from DataForSEO. Nothing is a black box, and nothing is trained on your data or anyone else's. If a guess is ever wrong, that's a rule that needs adjusting, not an unpredictable model, and you can always correct it by hand.

Account & sign-in

1. Open the app and click Create account.
2. Enter your first name, last name, email, and a password of 8+ characters.
3. Check your inbox for a confirmation link, then sign in.

Changing your name, email, or password

All three live under Settings → General → Account.

• Display name updates immediately after clicking Save name.
• Email sends a confirmation link to the new address. Depending on your account's security settings, you may also need to confirm from your old inbox before the change finalizes; check both if it doesn't seem to take.
• Password requires 8+ characters and takes effect immediately: you won't be signed out on this device, but other signed-in devices will need the new password next time they re-authenticate.

Keyword fields

New accounts start with 10 sample keywords already loaded. Add your own with + Add keyword in the top bar.

• Keyword — the search term, e.g. brown butter chocolate chip cookies.
• Search volume — how many people search this per month.
• Difficulty — see Difficulty score below.
• Search intent — see Search intent below.
• Category and tags — see Categories & tags.

Volume, difficulty, and seasonality are the three fields Ripe Planner considers essential; leaving any blank weakens the score calculated for that keyword and skips it in some dashboard views.

Seasonality

Describes how much a keyword's search traffic spikes relative to the rest of the year, not how much total traffic it gets.

• Evergreen — searches stay roughly steady year round. Always relevant, so Go Live By is always now.
• Mild — a moderate, predictable spike, e.g. a keyword that rises somewhat every summer.
• Major — a strong, concentrated spike, even around a smaller holiday like Father's Day. Major keywords get a longer lead time automatically, since ranking ahead of a sharp spike matters more.

Auto-fill Novice+ figures out seasonality and peak months by looking at several years of monthly search volume and comparing each calendar month against its own typical volume. Nearby months close to the same peak get grouped together, so a spike spanning two or three months is captured accurately instead of just picking one.

When essential data is left blank

• The keyword counts toward the Missing essential data card on your dashboard, so you can find and finish it later.
• Its rubric score shows with a dashed ring, using a mid-range value similar to your library's average in place of the missing input, since a real score can't be calculated without it.

Entering a real 0 is different from leaving a field blank: a zero counts as answered. Only a genuinely empty field counts as missing.

Rubric score

Every keyword gets a single score from 0 to 100, blending four factors:

Adjust these weights any time under Settings → Rubric & scoring. Scores are normalized against your own keyword library, not a fixed universal scale; your highest-volume keyword always scores near the top on that factor, and your lowest always scores near the bottom, regardless of how big or small your library is.

Categories & tags

A category is usually your site's own structure (Entrees, Desserts, Sides, etc.), while tags cover everything more specific: Proteins, Fruits & Produce, Flavor Ingredients, Dish Formats, Breakfast, Cooking Methods, Dietary, Cuisines, Occasions, Alcohol, National Food Months. A keyword can have more than one category when it genuinely fits both, e.g. "sourdough discard sandwich bread" under both Yeast Breads and Sandwiches & Sliders.

Pick a category yourself, or let Ripe Planner guess one automatically, whether the keyword comes from Discover or you typed it in yourself and ran Auto-fill data in the flyout. Ripe Planner checks the keyword text against an ordered list of category signals, most specific match first, so "cheesecake" lands in Pies, Pastries & Tarts instead of the more generic Layer cakes, and "chicken pot pie" lands in Entrees instead of Pies, Pastries & Tarts. Nothing gets a category guess if no signal matches, and it only fills in if you haven't already picked one yourself. You can always correct the guess by hand. Edit the category list under Settings → Statuses & categories, or add a new one on the fly from the Categories section of the keyword flyout itself, with the same default-category mapping dropdown right there.

If your own category names don't match Ripe Planner's defaults (e.g. "Main Dish" instead of "Entrees"), click the 🔗 icon next to a category in Settings → Statuses & categories to map it to one or more default categories. This tells auto-categorize what your category is "most like," so guessing still works after renaming or restructuring. One custom category can map to several defaults at once, useful if you lump multiple dessert types under a single "Desserts" category.

Tags work the same automatic-vs-manual way; see the full Auto-tagging section. Review and search every rule under Settings → Tags → Auto-tag rules. Edit the tag list itself under Settings → Tags: right-click any tag anywhere to stop it being auto-suggested again (keywords that already have it keep it), or merge duplicate tags together from the tags settings screen.

Statuses

Statuses track where a keyword sits in your workflow: Idea, Written, Live, etc. Add, remove, reorder, rename, and recolor them under Settings → Statuses & categories. Renaming one updates every keyword currently using it, along with its saved color. The Archived status is reserved and can't be renamed, since several core features depend on that exact name; see Archiving.

Linked keywords

Linked keywords group two similar keywords together (for example "chicken tortilla soup" and "chicken tortilla soup instant pot") when one post could reasonably cover both. Ripe Planner suggests likely links automatically based on shared meaningful words. Link or unlink from any keyword's flyout.

Records per keyword Free: 1 · Novice: 5 · Pro/Team: 25

A record is a specific recipe/post attached to a keyword: name, status, and scheduled date at minimum, with additional fields unlocked at Novice+. For bloggers, those additional fields include published URL, publish date, and updated date. For recipe developers, additional fields include client, list/sold dates, and list/sold prices.

These additional fields split into two toggleable groups in the flyout, Blogger fields (published URL, publish date, updated date) and Developer fields (client, list/sold dates, list/sold prices), so you can show just the group relevant to your workflow. Updated date is manual — set it yourself when you refresh a post's photos or text, nothing tracks edits automatically.

Free tier gets exactly one record per keyword. Higher tiers can attach more records, useful when you republish a recipe later or maintain multiple client versions of similar content. Each record can be scheduled independently on the Recipe Planner calendar.

With more than one record, the Status column in My keywords shows whichever record is scheduled soonest (or the first record, if none are scheduled yet). The Dashboard's Live and To Schedule cards count differently. Every record counts on its own, so a keyword with three Live records adds three to that count, not one.

Archiving keywords

Archiving hides a keyword from your main working views without deleting it. Archived keywords do not count against your tier's keyword limit, so archiving stale or abandoned ideas frees up room without losing the data. Restore any archived keyword back to active at any time.

How auto-tagging works

Each rule fires when its trigger words appear in the keyword text. A matching rule can add a broader tag (e.g. "pork tenderloin" triggers the "pork" tag) and/or self-tag the exact word that matched, so both the broad grouping tag and the specific ingredient show up.

Auto-tagging itself is available on every tier, including Free; it's the ability to customize the underlying rules that's gated by tier. If a rule ever tags something wrong, you can always delete or add tags on that keyword by hand regardless of tier.

Rule controls by tier

Singular & plural handling

Singular and plural forms of the same word (apple/apples, cookie/cookies) both fire a rule, but only the singular form is added as a tag, so everything groups together correctly for the Authority Planner and search, regardless of which form the original keyword used.

Example: peaches → tag peach. potatoes → tag potato. raspberries → tag raspberry.

Regular plurals (add -s, -es, or swap -y for -ies) are handled automatically; you never need to add both forms as separate triggers. Irregular plurals that change letters in a way that isn't a simple suffix swap (loaf → loaves, child → children) still need both forms listed explicitly as triggers, since there's no reliable pattern to guess those from. When adding a trigger word, prefer the singular form; the app will warn you if a trigger you're adding looks like it might be an irregular plural missing its pair.

Re-running auto-tags

Under Settings → Data:

• Run auto-tag — adds any new tags your existing keywords now qualify for under current rules, without touching tags already there.
• Reset and re-tag (danger-styled, confirmation required) — wipes every keyword's tags first, then reapplies current rules from scratch. Use this after heavy rule cleanup, since it drops stale tags left over from old or removed rules that the additive version would never clear out on its own.

Discover Novice+

Finds what people already search around your seed keyword: related searches, phrases that contain it, and real sibling ideas from the seed's own words, with volume and difficulty data already attached. Uses 2 credits per search. For a multi-word seed, Discover also checks related phrases built from the seed's own words, not just the exact phrase typed, so closely related ideas surface alongside it.

Filter results by minimum volume or maximum difficulty, require results to contain your seed words, or show informational intent only. Click any result's category chip to review and confirm the guessed category before adding it. Adding a result fills in every essential field automatically, the same as a manual auto-fill.

A broad, single-word seed skews toward however people actually search that word in aggregate; for something like "wine" that's mostly store-finding and navigational queries ("wine bars near me," "total wine"), not variety names. Check Must include seed words to drop results that don't contain your seed, and filter to info only to remove local, brand, and transactional results. For something more specific, seed with a narrower phrase ("wine pairing," "types of wine") or the variety names themselves.

Before you run your first search, Discover shows a monthly, admin-curated batch of trend keywords sourced from Google and Pinterest trends, with the same volume and difficulty data as a real search. This isn't a search you ran, so it doesn't cost credits. Click 🔍 Related on any trend keyword to run a real Discover search around it (2 credits). Your own past searches still appear as tabs to the right of the trends tab, newest first. Adding a keyword straight from the trend batch also tags it with the batch's month (e.g. "Aug 2026 Trend"), so you can filter or search My Keywords later for anything that was trending when you added it.

Right-click any keyword in My Keywords to open it as a Discover seed directly, without retyping it.

Remix

Invents variations of your seed keyword, adding things like "soft," "sugar free," "bars," or a flavor like "cinnamon" or "garlic." It then checks which invented versions people actually search for. Uses 1 credit per search, no matter how many variations end up getting checked. Works best on short seeds like "cookies" or "chicken." A longer phrase like "lazy dinner ideas for family" doesn't combine well with invented modifiers, so Ripe Planner shows a hint suggesting Discover instead once your seed reaches 4 words.

Choose between two modes with the toggle next to the Remix button. Automatic picks the 200 best-looking variations and checks them right away, no extra steps. Cherry-pick shows you every invented variation first, organized into filters for Style, Sweet flavors, Savory flavors, Format, and Combined, so you can browse by type before spending anything. Ripe Planner auto-selects the first 200 for you, and you can check or uncheck individual results, or use a filter's own "check all" to adjust a whole group at once. Switching filters only changes what you're looking at. It never changes what's checked. Nothing is spent until you click the confirm button at the bottom of the list.

Import from CSV

Click Import CSV in the top bar and upload a spreadsheet from Google Sheets, Excel, or your keyword tool. Ripe Planner matches columns automatically and shows the mapping before anything imports. Tags generate automatically on import. Free plan imports are capped at 50 rows per file.

Difficulty score

Measures how strong the backlink profiles of the current top 10 results are, on a 0–100 scale comparable to Ahrefs. It's the same number for every Ripe Planner user searching that keyword: it answers "how hard is this in general," not "how hard is this for me specifically." For that, set your Benchmark DA (Settings → General) and use the SERP check.

Keysearch.co and some other tools use a different, higher scale for the same idea; if a difficulty number elsewhere looks much higher than what Ripe Planner shows for the same keyword, that's the scale difference, not an error.

Your DA check

A free, instant first pass shown right below the difficulty score. It compares this keyword's difficulty against your default reference point's DA (Settings → General → Reference points) and gives a quick Pursue / Investigate / Skip read. The same guess also pre-fills the Easy / Mixed / Tough SERP rating, on auto-fill and when a keyword is added straight from Discover, so you don't need to run auto-fill separately just to see a difficulty estimate. It's a guess, not a guarantee. It only fills in if you haven't set a rating yourself, and shows with a dashed border and ⚡ until you confirm it or run a real SERP check, which is the real inspection that confirms or corrects it. A guessed SERP rating counts the same as no rating for the rubric score's completeness ring (dashed until confirmed).

Search intent

Describes what someone actually wants when they search a phrase. Ripe Planner recognizes four kinds, plus a fifth local/brand category for searches like "near me" or "delivery." Set it manually from the dropdown on any keyword, or fill it automatically with a data lookup Novice+. A small warning icon appears next to any keyword whose intent is anything other than informational.

The automatic classification comes from live search data. One override exists on top of that: if the phrasing is clearly recipe-seeking (contains "recipe," "homemade," etc.), Ripe Planner treats it as informational even if the raw classification said otherwise, marking it with an asterisk so you know the override happened.

SERP check

The real inspection that outranks the difficulty guess above. It looks at who currently holds each of the top 10 slots. Sometimes fewer than 10 show. That's not an error. It means Google's actual results page for that keyword doesn't return a full 10, which happens occasionally for narrow or newly trending phrases.

• View top 10 Novice+ — fetches the live top 10 with filler slots (YouTube, Pinterest, etc.) flagged, then you make the call yourself.
• Auto-check Pro+ — adds DA/PA per result, the real backlink gap between that page and your default reference point (Settings → General → Reference points), and sets the verdict automatically. Requires your Benchmark DA to be set first.

Credits & quota

Credits meter the handful of features that call outside data sources for real search data. Looking up a keyword's data is free whenever Ripe Planner already has a recent result cached for it; a credit only gets spent on a genuinely new lookup. Unused credits roll over one month, then reset. A running used/quota counter stays visible in the top bar next to your keyword count.

What spends a credit

• Auto-fill data (volume, difficulty, seasonality) — 1 credit, free if cached
• View top 10 SERP check — 1 credit
• Auto-check SERP verdict — 20 credits
• Fetch a reference site's stats (Settings → General → Reference points) — 1 credit each
• Discover — 2 credits per search
• Remix — 1 credit per search

See plans and pricing for exact plan details and current cost.

Recipe planner & calendar

Tracks each keyword's record through a status pipeline (Idea → To Schedule → Written → Tested → Photographed → Ready → Live, or On Hold) and shows what's coming up on a calendar view, driven by each record's scheduled date and the keyword's peak timing. Unscheduled keywords sit in the left sidebar sorted by due date; drag one onto a month to schedule it.

• Month view shows the full month at a glance; click a month name to jump into week view for that month.
• Day view is built for shoot day planning, showing full detail for everything scheduled that day.
• The colored stripe on each calendar card matches that keyword's status.
• Add sticky notes to any month or day with the note button.
• Connect a Google or Outlook calendar under Settings → Recipe planner to see your real events alongside your content schedule (read only).
• Optionally set a shoot time next to any scheduled date, wherever dates are set (the flyout, a table row, the day view). Type it in plain language, "7am", "2:30pm", or "10:42" all work, no am/pm assumes AM for 7 through 11 and PM for 12 through 6. Once a time is set it controls that item's order in the day's schedule.
• A Today button on every view (Month, Week, Day) jumps straight back to the current period.
• The panel icon at the top left of any view collapses the sidebar so the calendar can use the full width, click it again to bring the sidebar back.
• On a phone, Week view becomes a 3-day view instead, wide columns you can actually read, scroll left or right to move between days.

Peak windows & lead times

Seasonal and holiday keywords carry peak month(s): the calendar month(s) search volume for that topic actually spikes. Lead time (Settings → General → Lead times) controls how many months before a peak window the app recommends publishing, factored into the "Go Live By" date and the timing portion of a keyword's score.

Lunar-calendar holidays (Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr) intentionally have no fixed peak window in the built-in rules, since their date drifts year to year and a hardcoded month would be wrong most years.

Authority planner & bundles Novice+

Tags group related keywords for the Authority Planner: keywords sharing a tag are treated as co-ranking or depth-building opportunities. The more overlap, the stronger the topical authority signal Ripe Planner can find. The Authority planner tab finds groups of keywords in your library worth tackling together, across four cluster types:

• Intent clusters — near-duplicate keywords one post could realistically rank for at once.
• Concept clusters — the same flavor or ingredient appearing across different recipe formats, e.g. pumpkin showing up in a pie, a bread, and a latte.
• Topic clusters — depth within one category, building topical authority through breadth of coverage.
• Seasonal clusters — keywords grouped by shared peak month, timed to hit demand together.

Save a bundle to track it. The calendar icon schedules a bundle in one click: for Concept, Topic, and Seasonal clusters it marks every visible keyword with your primary planner status; for Intent clusters it instead opens the date picker on just the best-scoring keyword in the bundle, since those are near-duplicates of the same recipe, not separate posts to schedule individually.

Export & backup

Export CSV (top bar) downloads your full keyword set at any time. Because Ripe Planner is still in beta, exporting periodically is the safest way to keep your own backup independent of the app; see Data safety during beta.

Data safety during beta

You retain ownership of everything you enter: keywords, records, content plans. We make reasonable efforts to keep it available and intact, but can't guarantee against data loss given the pre-release nature of the software, so regular CSV exports as your own backup are strongly recommended. Full detail lives in the Beta Tester Agreement; how personal (not keyword) data is handled will live in the Privacy Policy once finalized.

What each tier includes

Free never hides a feature you don't have access to: locked features show a lock icon and the tier name, so you always know what exists and what unlocking it gets you. Roughly:

• Free — core keyword library, scoring, auto-tagging (rules run, but no customization), one record per keyword.
• Novice — adds automated keyword data lookups, Authority Planner, Discover, more records per keyword, additional record fields, and whole-category auto-tag toggling.
• Pro — adds SERP Auto-check, individual rule toggling and editing (pencil icon), self-tag chip suppression, and higher usage limits.

See Plans & pricing for exact numbers and current cost.

Upgrading

Upgrading takes effect immediately: higher limits and newly-unlocked features apply right away on your next sign-in (or immediately, if already signed in and the page refreshes tier data). Nothing about your existing data changes; you simply gain access to what the new tier includes.

Downgrading

Downgrading never deletes your data. What changes is access:

• Keywords/records over the new tier's limit — every existing keyword and record stays fully intact and usable. The limit only blocks adding brand-new ones once you're over it; nothing existing is hidden or removed.
• Individual rule edits, rule toggles, and self-tag suppressions — these paid-tier customizations are suspended, not deleted, while your account is below the tier that granted them. Auto-tagging falls back to the standard rules in the meantime. The moment you're back on a qualifying tier, every suspended customization reactivates exactly as you left it; nothing needs to be redone.
• Record fields tied to a higher tier (developer/blogger fields) keep their saved data; the editing UI for them is simply hidden until you're back on a tier that includes them.
• SERP Auto-check history — past results stay visible; only the ability to run new automatic checks is gated.

Canceling

Canceling stops billing going forward; your account and data are not deleted automatically. During the beta specifically (see the Beta Tester Agreement, Section 7), when your beta period ends you'll be notified and given a choice: continue on a paid plan with your data carrying forward, or export and/or request deletion of your data. If you don't choose within 30 days of notice, access may be restricted until you do, but nothing is deleted without further notice.

Post-soon window

How many days ahead the dashboard's "posting soon" panel looks; default 120 days.

Reference points

What Auto-check and the free DA-check guess both compare a keyword's SERP results against. There are up to 4 entries:

• Benchmark DA — a generic DA number, not tied to a real site, for when you're not targeting a specific domain (e.g. building content to sell rather than for your own blog). Available on every tier. Its referring-domains and backlinks fields are pre-filled with a rough estimate based on the DA you enter; edit them any time if you know the real numbers, and "Reset to estimate" restores the guess.
• Up to 3 real sites Pro+ — your own site, or a few top clients' sites if you write content for hire. Each has a label, URL, DA, referring domains, and backlinks; fetch them automatically (1 credit each, refreshable any time) or enter by hand.

A radio button marks which entry is used by default when a new Auto-check runs. On an already-checked keyword, a "Compare against" dropdown lets you view the verdict against any of your other reference points instantly: no new lookup, no credit spent, since the raw numbers for every competing result are already cached from the original check.

These numbers come from our data provider and won't match what Moz, Ahrefs, or other tools report for the same site; that's expected, not an error. No two SEO tools agree with each other on DA/backlink counts either, since each one crawls and scores the web with its own index and formula; there's no single "correct" number any of them are measuring against. If you have a number from a source you trust more, overwrite the field; that's exactly what it's there for.

Lead times

How many months before a peak window Ripe Planner recommends publishing, set separately for Evergreen, Mild seasonal, and Major seasonal keywords. Feeds directly into the Go Live By date and the timing portion of the rubric score. See Peak windows & lead times.

Review reminders

Optional nudge to revisit older content. Enable it, choose how many days after publish to be reminded (30/60/90/180), and optionally only for keywords below a minimum score threshold.

Column order

Drag column headers in the keyword table to reorder them; "Reset to default" restores the original order.

Keyboard shortcuts

See Keyboard shortcuts below.

Settings → Rubric & scoring

Sliders (and matching number inputs) for each of the four scoring factors: Volume, Difficulty, Timing, SERP difficulty. They must total exactly 100% before Apply & recalculate will save and re-score every keyword. Reset to default restores 30/30/25/15. See Rubric score for what each factor measures.

Settings → Statuses & categories

Statuses

Drag to reorder, the order set here is used everywhere statuses appear. Each status gets its own color (pick with the color swatch or type a hex code directly). The ↺ icon says "Reset color" and restores the exact default for a recognized default name (Idea, Written, Live, etc.), or "Auto-color" for a renamed or custom name, generating a fresh random color each click since there's no original to restore. Rename with the pencil icon (updates every keyword using it), remove with ×. The Archived status is reserved and can't be renamed or removed, since core features (like keeping archived keywords out of your tier limit) depend on that exact name.

Three columns next to each status let you assign it a role: Dashboard Live and Dashboard To Schedule control which status those two dashboard cards count, and Planner Primary controls which status stands out in the Recipe Planner sidebar. Only one status can hold each role at a time, clicking the toggle on a different row moves that role there. Reset all statuses to defaults at the bottom restores every status name, color, order, and role assignment to Ripe's defaults in one step, asking where to reassign any custom statuses that won't survive the reset.

Categories

Same add/rename/remove pattern as statuses, in the list below it on the same screen. Click the 🔗 icon next to a category to map it to Ripe Planner's default categories, so auto-categorize keeps working for custom or renamed categories; see Categories & tags for details.

FAQ

My difficulty number doesn't match another tool I use

Different tools use different scales; see Difficulty score.

A feature I should have access to is showing locked

First, fully sign out and back in; tier permissions load once at sign-in and won't refresh mid-session if something changed on the account side. Still locked after that? Email support.

I changed my email and it's not taking effect

Check both your old and new inbox for confirmation links; some account security settings require confirming from both addresses before the change finalizes.

An auto-tag rule is tagging something wrong

You can always delete or add tags on that specific keyword by hand regardless of tier. If you're Pro, you can also edit or suppress the rule itself so it stops happening on future keywords too. Either way, flag it as feedback; see below.

Send feedback

Anything confusing, anything broken, auto-tag mistakes, or a feature you reached for that wasn't there; all of it helps. Send to ripeplanner@gmail.com, screenshots welcome, or use the feedback tab inside the app.
