Description

ElevaRank helps you improve your WordPress SEO with AI. It audits your content, suggests fixes that you review and approve, writes SEO-optimized article drafts, analyzes each post like a professional SEO tool, and publishes structured data that helps Google understand your business.

SEO Audit & Fixes

Scans every published post and page
Detects missing/weak meta titles and descriptions, images without alt text, thin content, multiple H1 headings, missing internal links, and overly long slugs
Generates an AI fix for each problem — you review and approve with one click
Optional autonomous mode applies only safe fixes (meta tags, alt text, headings) automatically
SEO health score on the dashboard

Per-post SEO panel

A tabbed panel under the editor: SEO, AI Overviews, Readability, and Social
Focus keyphrase, editable SEO title and meta description with live length feedback
Live Google search-result preview
A detailed keyphrase analysis (Problems / Improvements / Good results) that updates as you type
One-click “Optimize with ElevaRank” rewrites the title, content, and meta tags — held for admin approval before anything goes live

AI Writer

Writes complete SEO-optimized article drafts (title, slug, meta tags, excerpt, tags, structured content)
Suggests article topics based on your niche and existing content
Optional weekly auto-writer prepares one draft per week for your review
Always saves as a draft — the plugin never publishes on its own

Social sharing

Set a social image, title, and description per post
Outputs Open Graph and Twitter Card tags so your posts look great when shared

Google Knowledge Panel (business structured data)

Enter your business information once — name, logo, description, services, areas served, address, hours, and social profiles
ElevaRank publishes it as Organization / LocalBusiness JSON-LD on your homepage, the structured data Google uses to build a Knowledge Panel

Works with your SEO plugin

If Yoast SEO or Rank Math is active, ElevaRank reads and writes their meta fields. If neither is installed, it outputs the meta tags itself.

External services

This plugin connects to third-party services to provide its AI features. No data is sent anywhere until you take an explicit action (such as clicking “Optimize”, “Generate”, or running an audit). If you never use an AI feature, no external requests are made.

Anthropic (Claude API)

ElevaRank uses the Anthropic Claude API to generate SEO suggestions, article drafts, meta tags, and analysis.

What is sent, and when: only when you trigger an AI action, the relevant post title and content (and, for business descriptions, the business details you entered) are sent to Anthropic’s API to generate a response.
When it happens: only on your explicit action in the WordPress admin. Nothing is sent from your site’s front end or on a schedule unless you enable the optional weekly auto-writer.
Service provider: Anthropic, PBC.
Terms of Service: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms
Privacy Policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy

You may either use your own Anthropic API key (usage billed to your own Anthropic account) or, optionally, ElevaRank’s hosted credits service (see below).

ElevaRank credits service (optional)

If you choose the “ElevaRank credits” mode instead of your own API key, AI requests are routed through ElevaRank’s hosted API at elevarank.com, which forwards them to Anthropic on your behalf and deducts credits from your account. This mode is entirely optional; the plugin is fully functional with your own Anthropic API key and no connection to elevarank.com.

What is sent, and when: the same post/content data described above, plus your ElevaRank license key, only when you trigger an AI action while this mode is selected.
Service provider: ElevaRank (https://elevarank.com).

Installation

Upload the elevarank folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install the zip via Plugins Add New Upload.
Activate the plugin.
Go to ElevaRank Settings, add your Anthropic API key (from platform.claude.com), and describe your site niche.
Run your first scan under ElevaRank SEO Audit, or open any post to use the ElevaRank SEO panel.

FAQ

Do I need an API key?: Yes. ElevaRank’s AI features require an Anthropic API key (from platform.claude.com), billed to your own Anthropic account. Alternatively you can use ElevaRank’s optional hosted credits service. See the “External services” section for details.
Does the AI publish content on its own?: No. Articles are always saved as drafts. SEO fixes are only applied automatically if you explicitly enable autonomous mode — and even then, only safe fixes (meta tags, alt text, headings). Full-post optimizations always wait for an administrator’s approval.
Is any data sent to external servers?: Only when you use an AI feature, and only the content needed to generate that result. See the “External services” section above for exactly what is sent and to whom. If you never trigger an AI action, no external requests are made.
Which AI model does it use?: Claude by Anthropic. You can choose the model in Settings.
Will it conflict with Yoast or Rank Math?: No — it detects them and writes SEO titles, descriptions, and social tags into their fields, so everything shows up in your usual SEO plugin.
Will this get me a Google Knowledge Panel?: ElevaRank publishes the correct structured data that Google reads, but Google alone decides when to display a Knowledge Panel. The plugin includes a readiness checklist that guides you through the other steps (such as verifying your Google Business Profile).

Changelog

1.6.3

Resolved a Plugin Check “offloading” error by matching WordPress’s emoji resource hint on its path only (no remote URL literal). No behavior change.

1.6.2

Fixed a WP 6.7 “translation loading triggered too early” notice by not reading translated settings at plugin-load time (the sitemap author check now runs during sitemap generation).

1.6.1

Completed prefix compliance: renamed admin page slugs and CSS classes off the short ‘asa’ prefix. Author archives are now also removed from the core sitemap when set to noindex (matching the setting description).

1.6.0

Renamed the internal code prefix to a longer, unique one (elevarank_) across all classes, functions, options, and hooks for full WordPress.org guideline compliance. Note: saved plugin settings reset on update — re-enter them under ElevaRank settings.

1.5.3

Hardening for WordPress.org review: enqueue admin CSS/JS properly (no inline tags), full input sanitization on redirects, safer JSON-LD output, and escaped breadcrumb shortcode output.

1.5.2

Fixed a Plugin Check escaping notice in the redirect handler (cast the HTTP status to an integer).

1.5.1

Alt-text fixes now skip decorative placeholder images (lazy-load spacers like dot.gif) at both suggestion and apply time, not just detection.

1.5.0

New: Smart Links — AI suggests relevant internal links from your post to your other content, and inserts the ones you pick with one click (safe insertion that never breaks tags or nests links).

1.4.1

Redirects: added safety guards (reject site-wide regex + same-URL loops) and no-cache headers for temporary redirects.

1.4.0

New: Redirects manager (Advanced menu). Create 301/302/307/410/451 redirects, plain or regex, PHP-based so they work on any host without touching .htaccess.

1.3.0

New: “Suggest tags with AI” in the SEO panel generates relevant post tags and adds the ones you pick to the Tags box.

1.2.1

AI Overviews tab is now two-column: readiness analysis on the left, the “Write AI answers (FAQ)” tool on the right — using the previously empty space.

1.2.0

New: “Write AI answers (FAQ)” on the AI Overviews tab generates a concise, extractable FAQ from your post so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini can cite it — and adds it to the post plus FAQ structured data.

1.1.8

The analysis “AI Fix” on content-level problems (e.g. keyphrase density) now shows clear feedback that it starts a full-post optimization, and avoids doing nothing when an optimization is already running.

1.1.7

Alt-text audit now ignores lazy-load placeholder images (dot.gif, spacers, blank pixels) and reads the real image from data-src.
AI alt-text suggestions now display as readable text instead of raw JSON.

1.1.6

The Dashboard now shows your ElevaRank credit balance (in credits mode) with a quick Buy-more link.
Fixed the setup notice to match your chosen mode (license key vs. Anthropic API key).

1.1.5

The plugin now reports its site URL to the ElevaRank credits service so you can see which site a license is used on (credits mode only).

1.1.4

The ElevaRank license key (and API key) now save automatically when “Check balance” or “Test connection” succeeds — no need to also click Save Changes.

1.1.3

Fixed the “Buy credits” link to point to the pricing section on elevarank.com.

1.1.2

The SEO panel, “Optimize with ElevaRank”, per-post schema, and the full-site audit now work on every public post type — including pages and custom post types — not just posts and pages.
Added an asa_managed_post_types filter to customize which post types the tools apply to.

1.1.1

Compatibility: corrected the text domain to match the plugin slug across all strings.
Compatibility: updated “Tested up to” and removed the redundant load_plugin_textdomain() call (translations auto-load).
Fixed an internationalization string to use ordered placeholders.
Documented custom-table queries and nonce-verified AJAX handlers to satisfy Plugin Check.

1.1.0

Added per-post tabbed SEO panel (SEO, AI Overviews, Readability, Social) with live Google preview and keyphrase analysis.
Added “Optimize with ElevaRank” full-post AI optimization with admin approval workflow.
Added editable social sharing (image, title, description) with Open Graph / Twitter Card output.
Added Google Knowledge Panel manager: business info, services, areas served, and Organization / LocalBusiness JSON-LD output.
Assets are now versioned by file modification time to prevent stale caching.

1.0.0

Initial release: site-wide SEO audit, AI fix suggestions with approve/apply flow, AI article writer, topic suggestions, weekly auto-writer, and Yoast / Rank Math compatibility.
