About RankWise SEO WordPress Plugin
From the official readme · v2.1.12Description
This is a beta version of the RankWise SEO plugin for WordPress
This is a first release for the working version of the RankWise SEO scan as a WordPress plug-in. The state of art core scanning and analytic core have been incorporated and is fully functional. Also the proof of concept authorship annotation and Google+ profile scan and analysis have been incorporated. Components:
– Summaries with most important optimization pointers;
– SEO meta elements analyses for data elements and rich snippets;
– Optimization pointers per element and ranking factor;
– Image meta optimization analysis and pointers for optimization;
– Structured data elements analyses and optimization pointers;
– Authorship and publisher markup scan and check;
– Google+ profile SEO analysis for keywords found in post;
At the moment we are working hard on improving the incorporation of the core scan elements into the WordPress dashboard to create a better user experience. Also we are working hard to implement the logic for a complete authorship markup scan that verifies the markup for post and the whole website with a click of the button.
Google+ profile Scan and Analyses
We have incorporated the Google+ API and have full access to all elements for any public Google+ profile and page. At the moment we have applied our existing algorithm on the profile elements like the Tagline and the About elements with just small adjustments for analyzing the text itself. We are developing this very rapidly and expect to add new features on a weekly basis for the coming weeks like:
– Google search engine display preview of Google+ profile;
– In-depth textual and keyword correlation analyses for and SEO pointer;
– Backlink scan;
– etc.
UPDATE 11/26/2013: we added the PageRank for the Google+ profile off the author!
