Title: MonoRanks Author: VeronaLabs Published: September 30, 2026 Last modified: October 1, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/monoranks/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3720427) ![](https://ps.w.org/monoranks/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3720314) # MonoRanks By [VeronaLabs](https://profiles.wordpress.org/veronalabs/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/monoranks.0.1.18.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/monoranks/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/monoranks/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/monoranks/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/monoranks/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/monoranks/) ## Description **Find what keeps your pages off page one and out of AI answers, then fix it in a click.** [MonoRanks](https://monoranks.com) checks every page of your site each week for: * 🔍 **SEO**: how Google sees and ranks your pages * 💬 **AEO**: whether answer engines can quote you * 🤖 **GEO**: whether AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) finds and names you * ⚡ **Speed**: the pages that load too slowly Each problem comes with a plain explanation and a suggested fix, sorted by what it is worth. This plugin connects your site, so the fixes you approve are **written into WordPress for you**. #### What you get * **A MonoRanks screen in WordPress.** Your scores and how they moved this week, search clicks, the pages that need attention most, and fixes ready to apply. * **Scores in Posts and Pages.** A MonoRanks column shows each page’s scores. Sort by score, or open the **Needs attention** view. * **One-click fixes.** Titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, canonical URLs, noindex and redirects. * **Answer-first openings.** A short opening paragraph for pages that bury their answer. You see a before/after first. * **AI crawler control.** Rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and others in robots.txt, plus an llms.txt file. * **Always up to date.** When you change a post, MonoRanks rechecks that page the same day. * ↩️ **Undo for everything.** Every change is listed under **MonoRanks Settings** and can be undone for 30 days. #### Works with your SEO plugin **Yoast SEO**, **Rank Math** and **The SEO Framework**: fixes go into their own fields. **All in One SEO**: fixes are passed to it through its filters. **No SEO plugin?** MonoRanks prints the approved title, description, canonical and noindex itself. **Another SEO plugin**, such as SEOPress? Those four fixes are not written, and MonoRanks tells you why, because that plugin prints its own tags. The other fixes still work. #### You stay in control * **Nothing changes on its own.** MonoRanks only writes what you approved, one change at a time. * **It cannot edit** your theme, settings or users. * **The opening paragraph** never rewrites your text. It is added on top and can be removed with Undo. * When you approve MonoRanks, it may switch this plugin on if it is installed but inactive. #### This plugin uses an external service The plugin talks to [MonoRanks](https://monoranks.com). **Nothing is sent until you connect your site**, either by approving MonoRanks in WordPress or by pasting a connector key under **MonoRanks Settings**. **How it connects** * **To send data**, the plugin uses a connector key that belongs to this site only. It can send this site’s content, change alerts and plugin status, and read back this site’s audit results for the MonoRanks screens. It cannot read any other site or account data. * **To apply fixes**, MonoRanks uses the “MonoRanks” Application Password you approve in WordPress. **What is sent, over HTTPS** * **Published content details:** post type, URL, title, a 40-word excerpt, author display name and avatar URL, categories, tags, publish and modified dates, SEO title, meta description, canonical URL, noindex flag, and image URLs with their alt text. Sent when you connect, when MonoRanks asks, and once a day. * **When you publish, update or unpublish a post:** its ID, URL and the details above, so MonoRanks can recheck that page. * **Plugin status:** site name and address, plugin and WordPress version, active SEO plugin, and the number of published items per type. **Never sent:** drafts, private or password-protected posts, comments, user emails or passwords, plugin or theme settings. **What is read back:** this site’s audit results (scores, open issues, the fixes you approved, and search clicks if you connected Google Search Console in MonoRanks). They are cached in WordPress and shown to admins only, never on the public site. **Legal:** [Terms of service](https://monoranks.com/legal/terms/) · [Privacy policy](https://monoranks.com/legal/privacy/) #### Source code The admin screens are built with React. `build/main.js` and `build/main.css` are compiled from `resources/admin/src`, published with the build tools in the [plugin’s GitHub repository](https://github.com/monoranks/wordpress-plugin). Run `npm ci && npm run build` to rebuild them. ## Screenshots [⌊MonoRanks → Overview: site health and AEO scores, search clicks, pages needing attention, fixes ready to apply, recent changes with Undo (also in Persian).⌉⌊MonoRanks → Overview: site health and AEO scores, search clicks, pages needing attention, fixes ready to apply, recent changes with Undo (also in Persian).⌉[ MonoRanks Overview: site health and AEO scores, search clicks, pages needing attention, fixes ready to apply, recent changes with Undo (also in Persian).

In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins Add Plugin** (called **Add New** in older WordPress versions). 2. Search for **MonoRanks**, click **Install Now**, then **Activate**. #### Connect it to MonoRanks 1. Sign in at [app.monoranks.com](https://app.monoranks.com) (a free account is enough) and add your website. 2. Open the website, go to **Integrations WordPress** and click **Connect to WordPress**. 3. WordPress asks you to approve MonoRanks. Click **Yes, I approve of this connection**. That is all: the plugin turns itself on and sends the first batch of content metadata. #### Connect with a key instead If your site cannot use Application Passwords (they need HTTPS, and some security plugins turn them off), create a key in MonoRanks under **Settings API and MCP** and paste it in WordPress under **MonoRanks Settings**. Your content reaches MonoRanks, but approved fixes cannot be written back until you connect as above. #### Disconnect Go to **MonoRanks Settings Disconnect**. To also stop MonoRanks from writing, go to **Users Profile Application Passwords** and click **Revoke** next to “MonoRanks”. Fixes already applied stay on your site. Step-by-step guide: [MonoRanks WordPress plugin docs](https://monoranks.com/docs/wordpress-plugin/). ## FAQ ### Does the plugin change my site on its own? **No.** It only applies changes you approved one by one in MonoRanks. Every change is listed under **MonoRanks Settings** and can be undone for 30 days. ### Do I need Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO or The SEO Framework? **No.** Without an SEO plugin, MonoRanks prints the approved title, description, canonical and noindex tags itself. Nothing else about your theme is touched. ### Does it slow my site down? **No.** Content details are sent in the background (WP-Cron, or when MonoRanks asks), so visitors never wait. Approved redirects are stored as one option and checked early in the request. ### What is sent, exactly? See **This plugin uses an external service** above. Never sent: drafts, private posts, comments, user emails or passwords, plugin or theme settings. ### How do I disconnect? Go to **MonoRanks Settings Disconnect** to stop sending. To stop writes too, go to **Users Profile Application Passwords** and click **Revoke** next to “MonoRanks”. Deactivating the plugin stops both. ### How do I remove all data? Deleting the plugin removes its settings and scheduled tasks. Deleting the website in MonoRanks removes what was sent there. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MonoRanks” is open source software.

Adds WP-Optimize, Nginx Helper, Breeze, Kinsta, WP Engine and Pantheon to WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache and SiteGround Optimizer. * MonoRanks is told which cache was cleared, so it can tell you when a page may still show the old version. #### 0.1.17 * After MonoRanks writes llms.txt or the AI crawler rules, the plugin clears /llms. txt or /robots.txt from WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache and SiteGround Optimizer, so an old cached copy does not hide the change. * /llms.txt is sent with headers that tell caches not to keep it. #### 0.1.16 * The Overview says how many fixes are ready to apply and how many still need a value in MonoRanks, instead of counting them all as ready. #### 0.1.15 * Works with The SEO Framework: approved titles, descriptions, canonicals and noindex go into its own fields, and the page shows them once. * On the homepage, if The SEO Framework’s Homepage Settings already set that field, the fix is refused with the reason, because that setting wins. * With an SEO plugin MonoRanks cannot write into yet (such as SEOPress), those fixes are refused with a reason that names the plugin, and no second set of tags is printed. #### 0.1.14 * In block editor posts, the approved opening paragraph goes in as its own paragraph block before the first block. Other blocks, including those from other plugins, are never changed. * Every body edit is checked right after it is saved. If a block would break, the post is put back as it was and the fix is reported as failed, with the reason. #### 0.1.13 * The description lists only the fixes the plugin can write. * With All in One SEO active, approved titles, descriptions, canonicals and noindex go through its own tags instead of adding a second set. * Without an SEO plugin, an approved noindex joins WordPress’s robots tag instead of adding a second one. #### 0.1.11 * When no fix is approved yet, the MonoRanks screen says how many fixes MonoRanks can write for this site, by type, with a link to review them. #### 0.1.10 * The search clicks change on the MonoRanks screen says what it is compared with: the previous 28 days, not this week. * Persian: the last untranslated messages on the MonoRanks screen are translated. * A site that was never connected no longer offers to erase data it does not have. #### 0.1.9 * An empty score ring in the Posts list explains that the page has not been checked, instead of looking like a fault. #### 0.1.8 * Reads every score again after this update, so posts left without one get theirs back. #### 0.1.7 * Scores arrive for every post on large sites: a pull that runs out of time carries on where it stopped. #### 0.1.6 * Scores appear as soon as you open the MonoRanks screen, also on sites where WP- Cron is switched off. * “Sync content now” brings the scores back with it. * The remaining pages still update in the background. #### 0.1.5 * Disconnecting in WordPress tells MonoRanks, which revokes this website’s key. * “Open MonoRanks” goes to this website, not the home page. * Audit results are asked for again within the hour after MonoRanks gains support for them. #### 0.1.4 * The Plugin URI and Author URI headers point at plain addresses, without tracking parameters. * The contributor list uses the right WordPress.org username. * The public ping route says in the code why it is public: MonoRanks calls it before the site is paired, it reads nothing, and every other route needs an administrator. #### 0.1.3 * On a site with many plugins the admin menu is taller than the page; the plugin’s screens now stretch to the bottom of it, so the footer is the last thing on the page with nothing left over under it. #### 0.1.2 * On a site with a long admin menu the plugin’s screens now reach the bottom of the page, so the footer is the last thing on it: no strip and no empty space under it. #### 0.1.1 * On a site whose admin menu is taller than the page, the plugin’s screens ended in a grey strip under the footer. The dark band now runs to the bottom of the page. #### 0.1.0 * Beta, before the first WordPress.org release: MonoRanks menu with an Overview( scores, search clicks, pages needing attention, fixes ready to apply, changes with Undo) and Settings; a MonoRanks column with health and AEO scores in Posts and Pages; content sync and one-click fixes with undo; a danger zone that erases everything the plugin stored; Persian translation. ## Meta * Version **0.1.18** * Last updated **7 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [aeo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/aeo/)[AI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai/) [audit](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/audit/)[geo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/geo/) [seo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/seo/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/monoranks/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
