Understanding Document Credits

Get clarity on the two types of document credits—SEO and Rank-Ready—and how each one works.

When using Describly to generate optimized content, you’ll encounter two different types of document credits. Each serves a different purpose depending on the workflow you're using:

SEO Document Credits

SEO document credits are used when you create a document via the SEO Workflow, which includes processing a search query and running a SERP (search engine results page) analysis.

• Starter plan includes 15 SEO document credits per month

• Professional plan includes 75 SEO document credits per month

• SEO document credits reset monthly on the 1st of each month at 12:00 AM UTC

• These credits do not roll over

Rank-Ready Document Credits

Rank-ready credits are used only when you create content using the Rank-Ready Workflow—a more structured experience designed to produce fully optimized, publish-ready documents.

• No plan includes rank-ready credits by default

• You can get them in two ways:

  • Pro Add-on: Get 30 rank-ready credits per month (resets monthly on the 1st at 12:00 AM UTC)

  • Pay-as-you-go: Buy only what you need; unused credits roll over month to month
