SE Ranking acquires Planable to help brands stay visible in the AI search era

In this very special post on the SE Ranking blog, I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve acquired Planable-a social-media management platform trusted by more than 7,000 brands and agencies. After 12 years of innovation, SE Ranking has become a multi-product platform that will help marketers stay on top of AI shifts.

Search is fragmenting fast, and SE Ranking’s mission is to keep your brand visible wherever people-and AI agents-look. Partnering with Planable, together with our commitment to rapidly evolve our AI Search toolkit, moves SE Ranking several steps closer to that goal.

Why social media?

A top-3 blue link on Google used to feel like winning. Today, winning means ranking in the top-3 and also showing up in AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT and Perplexity answers, getting recommended by YouTube and having your YouTube videos right in the SERP along with Instagram posts and LinkedIn snippets.

The takeaway is clear: SEO and social media are no longer silos. If your videos, posts, and conversations aren’t crawlable – or worse, tell a fragmented story – AI assistants will spread that fragmentation for you.

The fix? Making your SEO and social teams work together, shaping the same narrative and delivering it to both users and AI agents. That’s exactly what hundreds of users who chose both SE Ranking and Planable have been doing for months. Yes, we eventually figured out we already have many loyal customers using both our products.
