AI4Ranks SEO

Description

Plan better content. Find SEO opportunities. Stay in control.

AI4Ranks SEO brings essential SEO controls to WordPress and connects your site to optional AI-assisted content, research and reporting workflows in AI4Ranks Cloud.

Shape your search appearance

Give every important page a clear search identity. Manage SEO titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs and robots directives locally, including while disconnected. Review AI-assisted metadata proposals before saving, and use metadata history when you need to restore an earlier version.

Find the gaps in your content

Review SEO and content checks for posts, pages and WooCommerce products. Connect your published content to AI4Ranks Cloud to explore primary, secondary, long-tail and related keywords, and identify areas that deserve a closer look before your next update.

From content idea to reviewed draft

Turn research into a clearer content plan. Eligible Cloud plans offer Content Planner, AI-assisted generation, Content Autopilot and Content Evolution workflows. Prepare and refine content with supported scheduling workflows, then review proposed WordPress changes before applying them. Scheduled optimization is in Beta.

Turn site audits into clear next steps

Use Site Audit findings to prioritize technical SEO work. Review affected pages, understand the issue and decide what to address next. Technical URL checks depend on the connected project and configured data sources; recommendations help guide your work rather than promising an automatic fix for every issue.

Explore your AI search visibility

LLM Visibility (Beta) helps you review provider responses, observed mentions and available source references when a supported provider is configured. Combine these observations with keyword tracking, traffic insights and Search & AI Preview where connected data is available. Results can vary between scans.

Discover relevant link opportunities

Research potential sources with Backlink Intelligence (Beta), review backlink opportunities and monitor supported link records. Use internal-link suggestions and Opportunity Intelligence to organize relevant next steps. An opportunity is a research candidate, with no guarantee of placement, indexing, traffic or rankings.

Bring your SEO work together

Organize connected websites and collaborate in a shared workspace. Eligible Cloud plans add team members, SEO reports and export workflows; Agency workspaces can access multi-site management and white-label reporting. Available reporting depends on the connected data sources.

Your website. Your approval.

Cloud-originated changes require a separate approval inside WordPress before they are applied. Review the exact proposal, approve or reject it, and disconnect whenever you choose. Creation requests remain draft-only. Pending proposals expire and are invalidated on disconnect or reconnect; local metadata controls stay available while disconnected.

AI4Ranks Cloud is optional and requires an account. Feature availability and usage allowances depend on your plan, connected data sources and provider configuration. Some workflows are Beta. See current plans at https://ai4ranks.com/pricing.

This plugin is a connector for the AI4RANKS software-as-a-service platform. It ships its public JavaScript and CSS locally, does not add public credit links, and keeps Visitor Intelligence off until an administrator enables it. A connected AI4RANKS workflow can request the plugin’s authenticated, published-resource endpoint; it does not expose drafts, private posts, pending posts, or scheduled posts.

External services

The plugin uses the AI4RANKS service only after an administrator connects the site or uses a connected feature. The following describes each connection and the data involved.

Account connection and workspace requests

When an administrator connects in AI4RANKS > Settings, the plugin sends the administrator’s email and password, site URL, site name, and WordPress version to AI4RANKS to authenticate and link the site. The password is used for that request only and is not stored by WordPress. AI4RANKS returns a site token, which the plugin stores locally to make authenticated service requests.

After connection, the plugin may send the site token with a capability manifest (plugin, WordPress and PHP versions; installation ID; enabled modules; and WooCommerce availability), account-status requests, dashboard-overview requests, Visitor Intelligence configuration, and integration-status requests. These requests occur when the corresponding administrator screen or control is used, or when a connected administrator saves Visitor Intelligence settings.

SEO, content, and AI requests

When an administrator explicitly starts a sync, audit, score, keyword, metadata, editor-AI, or optimization action, the plugin sends only the data needed for that action. This can include site token, post ID, post type/status, title, URL, excerpt, post content or plain-text content, categories, tags, SEO fields, and requested settings. AI4RANKS may also use the authenticated WordPress optimization endpoint to read published posts, pages, products, categories, and product categories for a connected workflow. That endpoint does not return drafts, private posts, pending posts, or scheduled posts.

The legacy connected content-creation endpoint can create a WordPress draft only; it cannot publish, schedule, or make a post private. Review and publish the resulting draft in WordPress.

Cloud-originated changes require a separate approval in WordPress. A signed cloud request only saves a private, expiring proposal in AI4Ranks > Cloud proposals; it does not create a content draft, edit live content, publish a post, or change a redirect. The administrator reviews the exact proposed values and chooses Approve and apply or Reject. Applying requires a WordPress login, an action nonce, manage_options, edit_post for the target, and the post type’s publish capability when publication is requested. Creation requests remain draft-only. A pending proposal is not reported as a successful write. Proposals are single-use, expire after one hour, and are invalidated when the service is disconnected or reconnected. Local connection credentials are revoked before the best-effort disconnect notification to the platform.

Visitor Intelligence

Visitor Intelligence is off by default. If an administrator enables it, the plugin serves its reviewed JavaScript files from this plugin’s own assets/ directory. No executable visitor-tracking code is loaded from AI4RANKS. The local script contacts the AI4RANKS HTTPS analytics API only after the site has obtained affirmative visitor consent by calling window.ai4ranks.consent('grant') (or dispatching the documented consent event).

After consent, the feature sends a site key, anonymous visitor and session identifiers, page URL and referrer with ordinary query values removed (attribution parameters may be retained), event timestamps, page/scroll/click/form/video interaction summaries, browser/operating-system/device category, viewport/screen size, language, web-vital measurements, and limited error diagnostics. It stores its anonymous visitor ID in local storage and session IDs/activity in session storage only after consent. As with any HTTPS request, AI4RANKS also receives standard network metadata such as the visitor IP address.

Optional replay is separately controlled by the administrator’s replay setting and sample rate, and starts only after visitor consent. It sends structural selectors, element geometry, pointer/click and scroll events; it does not collect input values, DOM text, clipboard content, audio, video, passwords, payment data, or raw identity data. Site owners are responsible for connecting this feature to their consent-management and privacy workflow and for configuring excluded, masked, blocked, and ignored selectors appropriately.

Personal AI provider keys

If an administrator chooses “Your API keys” under AI4RANKS > Settings > Integrations, the selected provider, model, and API key are sent to AI4RANKS over HTTPS so AI4RANKS can store the key encrypted for that account and use it for future AI requests. The key is not stored in WordPress or shown again. The administrator is responsible for reviewing the selected provider’s terms and privacy policy.

The service is provided by AI4RANKS.

Source code

The plugin includes readable PHP, JavaScript, and CSS. The readable inputs for assets/solutions.js are included as assets/source/solution-engine.js and assets/source/solutions-browser.js. The runtime combines these two files in an immediately invoked function, replacing the engine’s export function declarations with local function declarations. Development tools and duplicate development copies are excluded from the installable ZIP.

Uninstall

Deactivation preserves local data. The explicit Disconnect action asks AI4RANKS to disconnect the site and removes the local connection credentials and Visitor Intelligence keys. If the Delete local Visitor Intelligence settings on uninstall checkbox is selected before uninstalling, the plugin deletes only its local Visitor Intelligence settings and keys; it does not delete cloud analytics data. Manage cloud analytics deletion separately in AI4RANKS Settings & Privacy.
