Description
ChiroRank gives chiropractors three essential SEO tools in one lightweight plugin:
Compliance Scanner – Scans your post and page content for 10 universally prohibited marketing terms that can get you in trouble with state boards and the FTC. Terms like “cure,” “guaranteed results,” and “100% effective” are flagged with explanations of why they violate advertising rules and what to use instead.
Medical Schema Generator – Generates proper MedicalBusiness and Physician JSON-LD structured data from your practice information. Enter your details once in settings and the schema is automatically added to your pages. One-click copy to clipboard for manual use.
SEO Title and Meta Checklist – Checks your SEO title length (under 60 characters), meta description length (under 160 characters), focus keyword placement in the first 30 characters of your title, and focus keyword presence in your meta description. Works with Rank Math and Yoast SEO, or use the manual input fields.
Who is this for?
Any chiropractor running a WordPress website who wants to:
- Avoid compliance violations in their marketing content
- Add proper medical schema markup without touching code
- Check basic SEO best practices before publishing
Works with your existing SEO plugin
ChiroRank detects Rank Math and Yoast SEO automatically. It pulls your existing SEO title, meta description, and focus keyword for the checklist. No SEO plugin? No problem. Use the manual input fields.
Lightweight and focused
No bloat. No unnecessary features. Three tools that do exactly what they say. The plugin loads only on admin screens where it is needed.

FAQ
-
Do I need Rank Math or Yoast to use this plugin?
-
No. All three features work without any SEO plugin. However, when Rank Math or Yoast is active, the SEO checklist automatically pulls your existing title, meta description, and focus keyword instead of requiring manual input.
-
What terms does the compliance scanner check for?
-
The scanner checks for 10 terms that are universally prohibited across US chiropractic advertising rules: “cure,” “miracle,” “guaranteed results,” “instant relief,” “risk-free,” “permanent fix,” “eliminate pain,” “100% effective,” “never need surgery,” and “prevent all disease.”
-
Does this plugin slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin only loads on admin screens (post editor and settings page). It adds a small JSON-LD schema script to your front-end pages, which is standard structured data that Google recommends.
-
Can I disable individual features?
-
Yes. Each feature (compliance scanner, schema generator, SEO checklist) can be toggled on or off in Settings > ChiroRank Free.
-
Does the schema output pass Google validation?
-
Yes. The generated MedicalBusiness and Physician schema follows schema.org specifications. You can test it using the Google Rich Results Test tool, which is linked from the settings page.
-
What is ChiroRank Pro?
-
ChiroRank Pro is a separate premium plugin with additional features like jurisdiction-specific compliance rules, AI content assistance, internal linking tools, and more. This free version is fully functional on its own and is not a limited trial of Pro.
-
Will this conflict with other schema plugins?
-
ChiroRank outputs its schema as a separate JSON-LD block, which is the method Google recommends. Multiple JSON-LD blocks on a page are valid and will not conflict. If you already have MedicalBusiness schema from another source, you may want to disable the schema feature in settings to avoid duplication.
-
Is my data sent anywhere?
-
No. All data stays on your WordPress site. The plugin makes no external API calls and does not transmit any information.
