The story behind Rilevo

Rilevo started with real work. My own.

I wasn’t looking to invent another way to do SEO. I wanted to stop rebuilding the connections between websites, tools, data and decisions for every client. Rilevo grew from that personal and business need.

I didn’t reinvent SEO. I made the way I work with it simpler.

More projects mean more context to remember.

For every client, I set up an MCP connection and linked the website, Search Console, Analytics, Ads and other useful tools. With one or two sites, that worked. As projects grew, the problem wasn’t just reading the numbers. It was remembering what belonged to which client, what we had already done and why.

I wasn’t missing tools. I was missing a more organised way to keep them together without repeating the same preparation every time.

The first workflow is mine. The next one can be yours.

I built Rilevo around the pipeline I use in my business: connect sources, understand the project, investigate signals and decide which work to follow through.

I don’t think my method is the only right one. The initial workflow can be adapted: change connections and steps, bring your skills, create new ones and keep each project’s memory.

A tool for doing the work, not a promise of results.

Rilevo doesn’t replace an SEO consultant. Connecting a domain is not enough to grow traffic, improve rankings or appear in AI answers. That takes knowledge of the project, useful content, checks and consistency.

I wanted to make work I was already doing more accessible, not to remove the need for work. Rilevo can help a blogger, a consultant, a developer or an agency. The project changes; the need to understand what you are doing does not.

Why a Mac app?

Because I use a Mac and wanted to learn how to build a native macOS app. Rilevo also began as a personal experiment: build a tool I would actually use every day.

That remains the choice today. I prefer to describe the product for what it is: an app grown from a concrete need, with room for ways of working that differ from my own.

MacBook, the platform Rilevo was built for

If you manage one website, Rilevo is free. For multiple sites, the licence costs €199 once. The purpose stays the same: help you work with more context and fewer repetitive steps.

Frequently asked questions

Who created Rilevo, and why?

Cosimo created Rilevo to simplify his work with different clients and websites. The aim is to bring together sources, memory and operational steps that previously needed separate setups.

Do I have to use Rilevo’s default workflow?

No. Your first launch offers the workflow used by the founder. You can adjust connections and steps, import skills or create new ones. The initial method is a starting point.

Does Rilevo replace an SEO consultant?

No. It helps collect and interpret information, but it does not replace the judgement of someone who knows the project. Strategy, content quality, reviewing actions and consistency still take work.

Why is Rilevo only available for Mac?

Cosimo uses a Mac and wanted to learn to build a native macOS app. Rilevo also grew from that personal curiosity. No versions for other platforms are announced here.
