Description
RankCycle reads your site’s Search Console opportunities in the RankCycle dashboard and provides a narrow WordPress connection for approved work.
The plugin can:
- Confirm the RankCycle connection.
- Find a WordPress post from a page URL.
- Update a post title or meta description when RankCycle has an approved change.
- Create a WordPress draft.
- Create or update a post when publishing has been explicitly enabled.
- Upload featured and in-body images generated by RankCycle.
- Keep Rank Math, Yoast, and AIOSEO title and description fields synchronized when present.
The plugin cannot delete posts, manage WordPress users, read passwords, or grant RankCycle access to other WordPress data. RankCycle stores the previous values for applied changes so they can be rolled back from the RankCycle dashboard.
Installation
- Create or sign in to your RankCycle account at https://rankcycle.ai/.
- In RankCycle, open Settings > API keys and create an API key.
- In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New and search for “RankCycle SEO Connector”, then install and activate it. (A downloaded zip installs the same way through Upload Plugin.)
- Open Settings > RankCycle, paste the API key, and click Connect.
- Return to RankCycle and check the WordPress connection status.
The API key is used during the connection handshake and is not stored by this plugin. The plugin stores its own site-specific connection secret in WordPress options. To disconnect, deactivate or delete the plugin and remove the connection from RankCycle.
FAQ
-
Does RankCycle need my WordPress password?
-
No. The plugin creates a site-specific connection and RankCycle never receives a WordPress administrator password.
-
Can RankCycle publish automatically?
-
New content is sent as a draft by default. Publishing requires the relevant RankCycle setting and plan permission.
-
Does the plugin delete anything?
-
No. The plugin has no delete route and does not manage users or permissions.
-
What if I use Rank Math, Yoast, or AIOSEO?
-
RankCycle synchronizes the supported SEO title and description fields so an SEO plugin does not override an approved change silently.
-
Where can I get help?
-
Use the RankCycle documentation at https://rankcycle.ai/document#wordpress or contact support through your RankCycle account.

Changelog
1.6.2
- Renamed the plugin to RankCycle SEO Connector. No functional change: routes, options and stored connections are identical to 1.6.1.
1.6.1
- Content edits now preserve the existing body byte for byte: rollbacks and link edits no longer re-filter content an administrator already published, and backslashes survive every save.
1.6.0
- Added content refresh support: an approved refresh replaces a post body in place, with the previous body stashed in post meta so it can be rolled back exactly.
- Page-builder pages (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, Avada, Bricks) are detected and refused — their layout does not live in the post body.
1.5.0
- Added redirect support for approved cannibalisation merges, stored as post meta and fully reversible.
- Added IndexNow key serving at the site root.
1.4.0
- Added internal-link support: an approved change can add one contextual link inside a post, and remove it again on rollback.
- Links are only ever added to plain text, never inside an existing link, heading, shortcode or HTML attribute.
- Removal matches the plugin’s own marker class, so rolling back never strips a link you wrote yourself.
1.3.3
- Added the required Tested up to readme header for WordPress 7.0.
1.3.2
- Updated the dashboard API-key navigation instructions.
1.3.1
- Added WordPress.org plugin readme metadata.
- Clarified the plugin and author URLs.
1.3.0
- Added the current RankCycle WordPress connection and SEO-plugin synchronization.
