🎯 Why This Plugin Is Different

Most SEO plugins measure whether your keyword shows up often enough.

WP Rankify measures whether Google and AI systems trust who you are — and whether your article genuinely covers every topic it should.

That’s the difference between ranking and not ranking after the Helpful Content Update.

📊 The AI Readiness Score

Four weighted categories. No arbitrary points.

✍ Content Quality (35%)
Word count, heading structure, sentence length, readability, lists, FAQ signals — everything Google considers “helpful.”

🏅 E-E-A-T / Authority (30%)
The core of the plugin. Author job title, professional bio, SameAs links (LinkedIn, Instagram, Xing), external sources. Exactly what Google means by “Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust.”

⚙ Technical SEO (20%)
Featured image, alt text, meta description (compatible with Yoast, RankMath, AIOSEO), title length and CTR signals.

🔗 Internal Linking (15%)
Internal links, content freshness, and how many links your text actually needs based on its word count. Because a great article is useless if it’s an island.

Score bands:
* 🟢 75–100: AI-Ready
* 🟡 50–74: Needs Work
* 🔴 0–49: Critical

🤖 AI Visits: Which AI Read Your Content?

You optimize for AI search — but does AI actually read your site? Now you can see it.

AI has read:
* Which AI crawlers and assistants visited — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Mistral and more
* Which page was read by which AI — clear page × AI overview
* Why they came: training, AI search index or live fetch (someone just asked a chatbot about your topic)
* Daily trend and a log of the latest visits

AI sent visitors:
* Real people who clicked a link to your site inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot & co.
* Which AI sends the most visitors, and on which pages they land

Privacy-friendly: no IP addresses, no cookies, no tracking of regular visitors. Built-in debug mode helps you identify unknown AI fetchers.

🧠 AI Topic Analysis (Pro)

The feature no other SEO plugin has.

WP Rankify analyzes your article holistically — not by keywords, but by content. The AI identifies:

• Missing topics – What do readers of this article actually expect to find? With priority and reasoning.
• Unanswered questions – Which concrete questions are left open?
• Related search queries – What else are people searching for on this topic?
• Overall assessment – An honest 1-2 sentence evaluation of the article.

No API key required. The AI runs on the WP Rankify server — you only pay for the subscription.

Free: 3 analyses/month. Pro: 50–100 analyses. Agency: unlimited.

🏥 Score Presets For Your Industry

Because a medical website is judged by different standards than a tech blog.

• YMYL / Expert (medicine, law, finance, consulting) → E-E-A-T weighted 40%
• Standard Blog (content, news, magazines) → Balanced
• E-Commerce / Local (shops, restaurants, service providers) → Technical SEO weighted 35%
• Custom → Set your own weighting via sliders

👤 Expert Profile & Schema.org Person

This is the feature other plugins don’t have.

For each author, you fill in the following on their WordPress profile:

• Job title (e.g. “Certified Nurse Practitioner”)
• Professional bio (short summary of their expertise)
• Practice/expert website
• SameAs links (social media profiles, industry directories)

The plugin automatically turns this into a complete Schema.org @graph in the <head> of every post — no shortcodes, no manual work.

📝 Meta Description Generator

WP Rankify analyzes your post using rule-based logic and suggests 4 optimized meta descriptions — no API key, no cost:

• Keyword-focused: main keyword up front, factual and informative
• Benefit-focused: what’s in it for the reader?
• Question format: opens with a question to spark curiosity
• Call to action: clear CTA at the end

Every variant shows character count and a quality score. Apply it with one click directly into Yoast SEO, RankMath or AIOSEO.

🔗 Automatic Internal Linking

WP Rankify doesn’t just look at the article you’re editing — it scans your whole site to show the full internal-linking picture:

• Who links here – see every published post that already links to the one you’re editing
• Missing backlinks – topically related posts that don’t link here yet, found automatically
• One-click backlink – insert a link straight into that other post with a single click, without ever opening it
• How many is enough? – a data-driven recommendation (roughly 1 internal link per 200–250 words) shown right next to the actual count, for the post you’re editing and for every suggested post

No manual searching, no copy-paste, no guessing whether you’ve linked “enough.”

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the plugin completely free?

The core features are entirely free — including the score, meta description generator, dashboard, Schema.org output, and 3 AI analyses per month. For more AI analyses, affordable Pro plans start at €2.99/month.

Do I need an API key?

No. The AI Readiness Score, the meta description generator and the expert profile all work without an API key. The AI topic analysis runs through the WP Rankify server.

What is the AI Readiness Score?

The AI Readiness Score shows, on a scale of 0 to 100, how well your article is set up for AI-driven search such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity. It’s based on four weighted categories: content quality, E-E-A-T signals, technical SEO and structured data.

What is E-E-A-T?

E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness — the four factors Google uses to judge whether an author and a website can be trusted. WP Rankify checks whether your site is sending these signals correctly.

How is this different from Yoast SEO?

Yoast measures keyword density and readability. WP Rankify measures E-E-A-T signals, author authority, missing topics and AI readiness — the things that have actually driven rankings since the Helpful Content Update.

Does the plugin change my frontend design?

No. It only adds structured data inside the <head> — no visible changes to your layout.

How does the AI topic analysis work?

Your article text is sent to the WP Rankify server, analyzed by an AI, and the results are sent back to you. No content is stored permanently.

Is the plugin GDPR-compliant?

Anonymous usage statistics are sent (site URL, PHP version, average scores — no content, no email addresses). This can be disabled on first launch.

The AI Visits feature stores no IP addresses and sets no cookies. For AI crawlers it stores the bot name, page and time; for visitors coming from an AI chat only the source (e.g. “ChatGPT”), landing page and time. Regular visitors are never recorded. Entries are deleted automatically after 90 days (adjustable).

Why don’t I see every AI visit?

If a page is delivered from a page cache (e.g. WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare APO), WordPress doesn’t run and the visit can’t be counted. Also check whether your host or Cloudflare blocks AI crawlers — blocked bots never reach your site.

Can I use this plugin on client websites?

Yes. The Agency plan covers unlimited domains.
