RankZoro AI SEO

RankZoro AI SEO

Description

The SEO & Store Workbench includes an AI SEO Agent chat. Ask about SEO tasks, optionally share the inspected page, and request a supported proposal for metadata, content refresh, internal links, FAQs or product-category guidance. Proposal generation uses 30 credits; applying any generated change remains a separate review and approval.

Free SEO Tools works without a RankZoro account: browse posts/pages/products,
write title and supported SEO metadata changes, preview exact fields, approve
locally and restore when no newer edits intervened. WordPress administrator
permission and nonces remain mandatory. Local edits do not authorize remote
publishing. A native title/description fallback runs only when no other detected
SEO plugin owns those fields. Other SEO plugins remain in control.

The free browser toolkit adds local text/HTML/schema/robots/image/CSV utilities.
Limited free AI requires explicit excerpt submission and has network/shared caps.
Local data is not automatically contributed to shared model training.

The RankZoro WordPress plugin creates a secure, API-key-authenticated bridge between your WordPress site and your RankZoro account.

What RankZoro can do once connected:

  • Create and publish AI-generated articles after the site owner enables and configures publishing
  • Schedule articles for chosen publication dates; scheduled autopilot requires the enabled automation add-on and available credits
  • Apply internal links to existing posts with one click
  • Apply AI SEO fixes — title, meta description, focus keyword, slug, canonical, status — on command
  • Apply multiple SEO fixes in a single bulk request
  • Inject JSON-LD schema markup (Article, FAQPage, HowTo, Product, etc.) into any post — outputs in <head> automatically
  • Register webhooks — WordPress fires instant POST notifications to RankZoro on post.published, post.updated, or post.deleted
  • Content decay monitoring — optional daily WP-Cron reports of stale-post metadata, enabled separately by an administrator
  • Fetch posts for analysis, internal link mapping, and content decay audits
  • Find internal backlinks — which posts on this site link to a given post
  • Filter posts by category, tag, author, post type
  • List all registered public custom post types (CPTs)
  • List authors with avatar URLs and post counts
  • Set Yoast SEO, RankMath, and SEOPress meta fields automatically when publishing
  • Upload and set featured images; upload standalone media to the media library
  • Report full site info — active SEO plugin, theme, post counts, PHP version, timezone

Scheduled AI generation and publishing are off until a site owner explicitly
enables and configures them. Scheduled automation requires the RankZoro
automation add-on and available generation credits. Connecting a site alone
does not grant permission to publish.

External Services and Privacy

Free manual SEO tools run on your WordPress site without a RankZoro account.
Cloud AI, research, proposal generation, content generation and optional
automation are provided by the RankZoro service. These service features may
require an account, credits or a paid subscription; they are not a time-limited
trial of the local plugin tools.

RankZoro

The plugin communicates with https://rankzoro.co after you approve a connection
or explicitly request a connected feature. Connection requests include the
site URL, authentication details and plugin/account information. Requested
cloud actions can include selected post, page, product or category identifiers,
titles, URLs, metadata, content and proposed changes. AI chat sends your question;
inspected page text is included only when you choose that option.

Daily stale-content reporting is off by default, including after an account is
connected. If an administrator enables it, WP-Cron sends the site URL and up to
100 stale published posts’ identifiers, titles, URLs, publication/modification
dates and word counts to RankZoro each day. Post bodies are not included in
these reports. “Run Scan Now” sends one report without enabling recurring
reports. Disconnecting disables recurring stale-content reports.

Scheduled growth/content workflows require separate configuration and may send
the content and resource data needed to perform those chosen workflows.
AI generation is performed by RankZoro’s cloud services, not downloaded PHP or
JavaScript code. See the service’s Terms of Service
and Privacy Policy.

IndexNow

Only when you request an IndexNow submission, the plugin verifies your site’s
public key URL and sends the site’s hostname, key, key location and selected
page URL to https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow. This is a submission request,
not confirmation of indexing. See https://www.indexnow.org/ for the protocol
and participating services. IndexNow Terms
describe the service conditions.

Administrator-configured webhooks

No webhook destination is configured by default. If you configure one,
WordPress sends the selected publish, update or deletion events, site URL and
associated post data to that URL. Only configure destinations you trust and
have permission to send this data to. Remove the webhook to stop delivery.

The external browser toolkit is opened only when you follow its link. Local
tool inputs stay in that browser until you explicitly confirm a service request.
The plugin does not automatically contribute site content to shared model training.

Support

For plugin support, email support@rankzoro.co. Once the plugin is listed,
WordPress-specific issues can also be reported using its WordPress.org
Support tab. Do not post connection tokens, API keys, private content or
account credentials in public support requests.

License

The distributed plugin source is licensed under the GNU General Public License,
version 2 or any later version (GPL-2.0-or-later). The full version 2 license is
included in LICENSE.txt. The separately hosted RankZoro service has its own
Terms of Service; those terms do not restrict your GPL rights in this plugin.

Source Code

The plugin-specific JavaScript and CSS are included in this plugin package as
human-readable, editable source files. The files enqueued by the plugin are
admin-settings.js, content-admin.js, site-pairing.js, and workbench.js,
with their corresponding CSS files. These are distributed directly; they are
not minified or transpiled, and the plugin does not bundle third-party
JavaScript or CSS libraries. No JavaScript or CSS build step is required.

See SOURCE.md in the plugin directory for a source-file overview and release
packaging notes.

Installation

  1. Upload the rankzoro folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, OR install via WordPress Admin Plugins Upload Plugin.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to the RankZoro menu item in your WordPress admin sidebar.
  4. Use Free SEO Tools without connecting an account, or optionally connect for cloud service features.

Recommended connection: in RankZoro CMS Connections, enter your exact HTTPS
WordPress site URL, open WordPress, and approve the read-only connection.
Each approval expires after ten minutes and can be used once. Publishing
requires a separate permission in WordPress RankZoro.

Manual connection fallback:
1. Paste your Plugin Token from rankzoro.co Settings WordPress Plugin Token into the plugin’s connection form.
2. Click Connect, then copy the Site URL and API Key shown.
3. In RankZoro CMS Connections Add Connection WordPress (Plugin), enter those details.

FAQ

Is this secure?

Local administration actions require WordPress capabilities and nonces.
Remote site operations require an authenticated connection key. Read-only
pairing does not enable publishing; writing requires separate permission.
Keys are stored in your WordPress options, so keep your site and database
access protected. You can disconnect or regenerate the connection key from
the plugin settings page.

Which SEO plugins are supported?

Yoast SEO, RankMath, and SEOPress. The plugin auto-detects which is active and reads/writes the correct meta keys for each. If none are installed, standard WordPress fields are used.

How do webhooks work?

Register a webhook URL via POST /webhooks. WordPress then fires an instant HTTP POST to that URL whenever a post is published, updated, or deleted — so RankZoro never needs to poll for changes. Webhooks can be listed (GET /webhooks) and removed (DELETE /webhooks/{id}) via API or from the admin settings page.

How does content decay monitoring work?

Daily reporting is off by default. An administrator can enable it in the
Content Decay Monitor. When enabled, a daily WP-Cron callback reports metadata
for up to 100 published posts older than the configured update threshold
(default: 90 days). You can also request a one-time report with “Run Scan Now”.
See External Services and Privacy for the fields sent to RankZoro.

What schema types are supported for JSON-LD injection?

Article, FAQPage, HowTo, WebPage, BlogPosting, Product, BreadcrumbList, LocalBusiness, Person, Organization, Event. The JSON-LD block is output in <head> automatically on the post’s singular page.
