About Hive Rank

Crowdsourced SEO intelligence for Claude Code users.

Every user who opts into the hive contributes anonymized search data — queries, URLs, positions, and titles from their real searches. This data is aggregated into a shared ranking dataset that benefits everyone in the network.

Why We Built This

AI agents are becoming a primary way people discover products and services. When someone asks Claude "what's the best project management tool?", Claude searches, reads, and recommends — and the human never sees a traditional search results page.

Traditional SEO tools like Ahrefs and Semrush monitor Google's SERP on a schedule. They don't know what AI agents actually see when they search in real time. Hive Rank does — because contributors are inside the search as it happens.

We wanted to build the tool we wished existed: free, private, community-powered SEO intelligence specifically for AI search.

How The Network Works

1. Install. Run npx hive-rank to add the MCP server and contribution hooks to Claude Code.

2. Search normally. When Claude uses web search, the hooks automatically capture and anonymize the search results — queries, URLs, positions, and titles.

3. Data flows to the hive. Anonymized observations are sent to the shared network. Your identity is a one-way hash — we can't identify you.

4. Everyone benefits. Query the network for rankings, trends, domain intelligence, and Hive Scores computed from all contributors' data.
