What Are Smart Tasks in Ranksphere?
Smart Tasks are AI-driven recommendations generated by Ranksphere to help you optimize your Google Business Profile (GBP) performance and keep your listings up to date.
They’re based on real-time scan results, GBP activity, and local SEO best practices.
Smart Tasks may suggest things like:
- Updating your business hours
- Posting new content if your GBP is inactive
- Replying to missed reviews
- Improving keyword coverage
- Adding more photos or updating service categories
💡 Smart Tasks help you take action that directly impacts your local visibility — without needing to guess what to do next.
Can I Delete a Smart Task?
No — Smart Tasks cannot be deleted. They are designed to stay visible until the recommendation is no longer relevant or is completed.
However:
- You can choose to ignore a task if it’s not applicable
- Ignored tasks will still appear on your dashboard (grayed out or marked as dismissed)
This ensures you always have a full picture of what’s been suggested and what was skipped.
Can I Modify a Smart Task?
Smart Tasks cannot be modified manually since they’re automatically generated by Ranksphere’s system. However, you can:
- ✅ Leave comments on a task to collaborate with your team
- ✅ Tag or assign team members to take ownership
- 🧠 Use it as a discussion starter for improving your GBP presence
How to Share a Smart Task With My Team
To share and enable Smart Tasks across your team:
- Go to Admin Settings in your Workspace
