If you’re new to Wealthy Affiliate (WA), welcome aboard! 🚀
This year, one of the biggest shifts has been the full integration of Jaaxy; once a standalone keyword research tool: directly into WA’s AI Research Platform.

But with this major upgrade came a few questions:
What happened to Jaaxy Lite? How do AI credits work? What about SiteRank?

No worries; this updated guide lays it all out clearly so you can make the most of the new system.

👉 For community discussion on this topic, check out fellow WA member Andre’s post: “New Jaaxy Full Clarity Needed.”

Step 1: Understand What Changed

Before 2025, Jaaxy existed separately with three versions: Lite, Pro, and Enterprise.
Now, Jaaxy is fully embedded inside Wealthy Affiliate, forming part of the new AI and credit-based ecosystem.

You no longer need to leave WA to do keyword research, create content, or analyze SEO. Everything is unified under one login — from keyword data to content publishing.

Step 2: Know Your Access Level

In the old setup, Starters received 30 free keyword searches.
Now, Starter members receive 2,000 AI credits (worth $10) as a welcome package when they join WA.

Each keyword search uses 100 credits, giving new members about 20 keyword searches — or the flexibility to spend those credits on other AI tools such as:

• Logo creation
• Niche discovery
• Content generation
• Website setup

Once those 2,000 credits are used, the system will prompt you to upgrade or purchase more credits.

Kyle’s Clarification (10th, October 2025, “Coffee with Kyle”):

Jaaxy Lite no longer exists — the entire system is now credit-based.

• Starter members get 2,000 free AI credits ($10 value).
• Premium members get 10,000 monthly credits.
• Premium Plus+ members get 30,000 monthly credits.
  There are no hard limits on keyword lists.
  The external Jaaxy.com site will be retired within about 25 days, replaced by a new Jaaxy promotion page directly inside WA.

This change gives affiliates a clearer message to share:

“Join Wealthy Affiliate free and get $10 in AI credits to start building your online business.”

Back in the day:

• Premium = Jaaxy Lite
• Premium Plus+ = Jaaxy Enterprise

Now, everyone uses the same sleek Jaaxy Research interface inside WA.
The difference lies in credit allowance and processing speed.

• Premium: 10,000 monthly AI credits
• Premium Plus+: 30,000 monthly AI credits
• Enterprise-level features (like faster results and broader data) are built into the Plus+ plan.

In older Jaaxy versions, SiteRank tracked your keyword position in Google, and QSR (Quoted Search Results) estimated keyword competition.

Carson’s Update (10th, October 2025):

SiteRank and QSR stopped working when Google updated its JavaScript system.
Because of that, these metrics can no longer be fetched externally.
The reliable alternative is Google Search Console, which now provides your verified keyword ranking data directly from Google itself.

So, while SiteRank used to be a handy tracker, it’s now retired — replaced by tools that integrate directly with Google’s live data.

Step 3: Manage Your Keyword Lists

Keyword lists are no longer stored on a separate Jaaxy site. They’re now integrated right inside Wealthy Affiliate under “Keyword Lists.”

✅ What’s the same: You can still create, edit, and manage lists.
⚙️ What’s new: Migration issues caused some users to lose old lists, depending on their previous activity.

Good news — Kyle confirmed there are no current limits on how many keyword lists you can create.
Still, it’s smart to export or back up important lists manually, just in case.

Step 4: Promoting Jaaxy Now

Previously, you could promote Jaaxy as a standalone product through its own affiliate program.
Now that Jaaxy is part of Wealthy Affiliate’s ecosystem, the smarter move is to promote WA itself — since Jaaxy, AI credits, and training are all included.

If you’re updating old content or funnels, use wording like:

“Jaaxy Research is now fully integrated within Wealthy Affiliate’s Premium and Premium Plus+ memberships, giving you AI-powered keyword research built right into your website-building and content-creation tools.”

📝 Note: Inside the WA platform, sharing external links to your own websites is discouraged unless it directly helps another member (for example, showing a live example of a CTA or your Bootcamp review post).
Outside WA — on your blog, socials, or newsletters — promote freely! That’s where your affiliate links belong.

Step 5: What’s Now Clear

With the newest updates from Kyle & Carson:

• ✅ Jaaxy Lite is retired — everything runs on AI credits.
• ✅ Starters receive 2,000 credits ($10 value).
• ✅ Premium & Plus+ receive 10,000 / 30,000 monthly credits.
• ✅ No hard limit on keyword lists.
• ✅ Jaaxy.com will be fully retired (~25 days).
• ✅ SiteRank & QSR are discontinued — use Google Search Console.
• ✅ A new Jaaxy promotion page is coming inside WA.

What’s still evolving: whether any legacy Jaaxy-only commissions will remain active.

Step 6: Stay Honest and Keep Learning

Wealthy Affiliate continues to evolve into a truly all-in-one AI-driven business platform.
These transitions may feel big, but they point toward more power, simplicity, and transparency for every member.

When writing or talking about WA and Jaaxy:

• Be clear about what’s confirmed.
• Acknowledge what’s changing.
• Avoid overpromising — clarity and honesty build trust.

Because, at the end of the day, authenticity is the best SEO there is.
