Description
Tino writes and publishes SEO + GEO articles and helps you rank on Google and in AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity). This plugin connects your WordPress to your Tino dashboard with a secure key and takes care of:
- Publishing the articles you approve in Tino (no duplicates).
- Outputting the structured data (JSON-LD Article + FAQPage) in the
<head>, so it always reaches Google and AI assistants even if you run security plugins. - Allowing the relevant AI bots (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and others) in your robots.txt.
- Notifying IndexNow (Bing/Yandex) about each new article to speed up discovery.
It does not use your account password: it authenticates with its own API key that you can regenerate at any time.
External services
This plugin connects to external services only when the corresponding feature is enabled. What it sends, when and where:
IndexNow (search engine notification of new or updated URLs)
When you publish or update an article, the plugin notifies IndexNow so that compatible search engines (Microsoft Bing, Yandex and others) discover the change sooner. It sends the public URL of the post, your site host name and a random verification key that the plugin itself hosts on your site. It does NOT send the article content or any personal data. This happens only if IndexNow is enabled in Settings -> Tino (on by default; you can turn it off there).
- Service: IndexNow – https://www.indexnow.org/
- Endpoint: https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow
- Documentation: https://www.indexnow.org/documentation – the data (public URLs) is shared with the participating search engines; e.g. Microsoft Bing privacy policy: https://www.microsoft.com/privacy
Tino (connection with your Tino account)
The plugin does not send data to Tino on its own. It exposes a private REST endpoint that your Tino dashboard calls, authenticated with the API key you generate in Settings -> Tino, to publish the articles you approve. You control the key and can regenerate or disconnect it whenever you want.

- Terms: https://trytino.com/terminos

Installation
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Go to Settings -> Tino and copy your API Key.
- In your Tino dashboard, paste the key and click Connect.
FAQ
-
Do I need to give my WordPress username and password?
-
No. The plugin generates its own key; Tino connects using only that key.
-
Does it work with Wordfence or other security plugins?
-
Yes. The schema is output in the
<head>from the plugin itself, without relying on the open REST API or on application passwords.
