About ClevRank
From the official readme · v1.0.3Description
Your blog writes itself.
Not a draft you have to fix. Not an outline. The finished article, researched, illustrated, linked and live on your site, while you were doing something else.
You connect your site once. From then on the posts just appear.
Why people leave the other ones for this
It does not read like AI. Everyone promises that. We are the only ones who throw the article in the bin and write it again when it still sounds like a machine.
It writes about your business, not around it. Your real products, your real prices, your voice. It learns how you talk from your own website.
It goes after the pages beating you. Real search volume, and the questions your customers ask that your site has never answered.
It gets you quoted, not just ranked. Articles are built to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers, which is where your customers are actually asking now.
It does not forget the article the moment it publishes. ClevRank keeps watching where it ranks, and when it starts losing ground it rewrites it and updates the post for you.
Images come with it. A cover in your brand colour and your typeface, plus up to three more, alt text written.
Your old posts stop being dead weight. Every new article links back into what you already have.
62 languages.
You hold the leash. Approve every article before it goes out, or let it publish on schedule and stop thinking about your blog forever.
What it costs you
Ten minutes of setup. After that, nothing.
The articles are ordinary WordPress posts. Delete this plugin tomorrow and every one of them stays exactly where it is.
External services
ClevRank is a service you sign up for at clevrank.com. This plugin is only the receiving end: without an account it does nothing. The research, the writing and the scheduling all happen on the ClevRank platform.
The plugin talks to the ClevRank API at https://app.clevrank.com.
What your site sends, and when:
- Your API key, your site address, your WordPress version, which SEO plugin you have active, and how many posts you have published.
- Sent when you press Test Connection, and once every six hours as a background health check.
What ClevRank sends back:
- Finished articles, updates to articles it published before, and requests for your post list and site status. Every one of those requests has to carry your API key or your site rejects it.
Names, email addresses and visitor IPs are never sent in either direction.
Installation
- In WordPress, go to Plugins, then Add New, and search for ClevRank.
- Activate it.
- Go to Settings, then ClevRank, and paste the API key from your dashboard.
- Press Test Connection. Green means you are done.
That is it. The articles start arriving on their own.
Frequently asked questions
Will it read like AI?
No, and we are blunt about how we get there: an article that still sounds artificial gets thrown out and written again from scratch. Most tools ship you the first draft. We do not.
Do I have to write anything?
No. You answer a few questions about your business once. That is the last time you think about it.
Can I read the articles before they go public?
If you want to. Leave approval on and each one waits for you. Turn it off and they publish on their own.
Can I edit an article after it publishes?
Yes. They are normal WordPress posts. Open them in the block editor like anything else.
Where is my API key?
Log in to app.clevrank.com, open the settings for the site you want to connect, and copy the WordPress key.
What length are the articles?
Long form, generally 1,500 to 2,000 words, sized against whatever is currently ranking for that keyword.
I do not use Yoast or Rank Math. Does it still work?
Yes. Without an SEO plugin the meta fields are simply not written. Install one whenever you like and ClevRank fills it in from the next article on.
What happens to my posts if I uninstall the plugin?
They stay. Uninstalling removes the plugin’s own log table and its settings. It does not touch your content.
Does it work on multisite?
Not yet. One site per install. You can connect several sites to one ClevRank account, each with its own key.
