Title: RankSWAT SEO Author: RankSWAT Published: October 16, 2026 Last modified: October 16, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/rankswat-seo/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3749928) # RankSWAT SEO By [RankSWAT](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seifalla2/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rankswat-seo.1.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rankswat-seo/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rankswat-seo/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rankswat-seo/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rankswat-seo/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/rankswat-seo/) ## Description RankSWAT SEO provides the WordPress execution layer for RankSWAT. It can run local WordPress SEO features on its own, including metadata, structured data, sitemaps, robots controls, redirects, breadcrumbs, image SEO, local SEO, and technical diagnostics. Site owners can optionally pair the plugin with a RankSWAT project. When paired, RankSWAT Platform becomes the source of truth for centrally governed audits and intelligence while the WordPress plugin remains the execution and local-fallback layer. The plugin is designed so that public executable plugin updates remain managed by WordPress.org. #### Core WordPress SEO features * SEO titles and meta descriptions. * Canonical URLs and robots directives. * Open Graph and social metadata. * Connected JSON-LD schema graph. * XML sitemaps, including optional News and Video sitemaps. * Breadcrumbs and BreadcrumbList schema. * Redirect manager and 404 monitor. * Image SEO helpers. * LocalBusiness / Local SEO support. * WooCommerce and selected third-party compatibility. * IndexNow support when explicitly enabled. * Technical SEO analyzer and rendered-output diagnostics. * Internal-link intelligence and link suggestions. * Role-based RankSWAT capabilities. * Import/export and bulk SEO tools. #### RankSWAT Platform connection Pairing with RankSWAT Platform is optional. After explicit administrator connection, the plugin can: * report bounded runtime/capability information; * synchronize a versioned SEO rules manifest; * provide bounded WordPress site context, content inventory, bulk SEO state, and page content context to authorized RankSWAT workflows; * receive allowlisted management commands; * expose local fallback status if the platform is temporarily unavailable. Remote write actions are disabled by default and must be enabled locally by an administrator. The connector does not expose arbitrary PHP, SQL, shell, or filesystem execution. #### Updates Stable public releases are distributed exclusively through WordPress.org. RankSWAT SEO does not provide a self-updater, does not modify WordPress update discovery, and does not change WordPress automatic-update preferences. Update checks, downloads, installation, and automatic-update controls remain owned by WordPress core and WordPress. org. ### External services RankSWAT SEO can provide local WordPress rendering/fallback features without connecting to RankSWAT Platform. Optional integrations contact external services only when the relevant feature is configured or explicitly connected. #### RankSWAT Platform When an administrator explicitly pairs this WordPress site with a RankSWAT project, the plugin communicates with the RankSWAT service at https://app.rankswat.com/. Data may include the site URL, WordPress/plugin/runtime versions, declared connector capabilities, synchronized ruleset version, bounded content/SEO context requested by an authorized project workflow, and the results of allowlisted management actions. This data is used for project synchronization, centrally governed SEO rules, audits/ intelligence, runtime health, and authorized site-management workflows. Connection is optional. The one-click authorization is domain-bound and short-lived. Remote writes are disabled by default. Service information: https://rankswat.com/ Privacy policy: https://rankswat.com/ privacy-policy/ #### Google Search Console and Google Analytics If an administrator explicitly configures Google OAuth integration, RankSWAT can request authorized read-only Search Console and Google Analytics data for the configured account/properties. URL Inspection can also be requested for owned Search Console properties. Google connectivity is optional. Google API Services User Data Policy: https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services- user-data-policy Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy #### Google PageSpeed Insights When an administrator explicitly runs a PageSpeed check, the tested public URL is sent to Google’s PageSpeed Insights API. PageSpeed checks are optional and on-demand. PageSpeed service documentation: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/ v5/get-started #### IndexNow If IndexNow is explicitly enabled, URLs from this WordPress site may be submitted to the IndexNow API to notify participating search engines about published or updated content. IndexNow documentation: https://www.indexnow.org/documentation No optional external integration is required for local title/meta, schema, robots, sitemap, redirect, or local-fallback rendering. ## Installation 1. Install RankSWAT SEO from the WordPress Plugin Directory when the public Stable release is available. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Configure the local SEO features you want to use. 4. Optional: open **RankSWAT SEO Platform Connection** and click **Connect with RankSWAT**. Sign in to RankSWAT and choose the project with the same domain; no pairing code or verification snippet is required. For migrations from another SEO plugin, use a staging environment and review the RankSWAT migration/diagnostic screens before changing production SEO ownership. ## FAQ ### Do I need a RankSWAT account to use the plugin? No. Local WordPress SEO/runtime features can operate without pairing. Platform-powered project synchronization and centralized intelligence require an explicitly paired RankSWAT project. ### Does RankSWAT send site data to the platform automatically after activation? No. Platform communication starts after an administrator explicitly connects the WordPress site with a RankSWAT project. Individual optional integrations also require configuration. ### What happens if RankSWAT Platform is temporarily unavailable? WordPress keeps the local runtime and last-known-good configuration. The connector reports the central platform as unavailable, but core local rendering does not depend on a successful request on each frontend page load. ### Can RankSWAT Platform run arbitrary code on my WordPress site? No. Remote actions use an explicit allowlist and do not expose arbitrary PHP, SQL, shell, or filesystem commands. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RankSWAT SEO” is open source software.
