It is a lightweight bridge: it collects the visitor signals and editorial metadata needed by the TopicLift SaaS, while the reports, analysis, recommendations, and editorial workflow remain in your secure TopicLift workspace.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin does not try to turn WordPress into an analytics dashboard. It does not add dashboard widgets, editor panels, post-edit boxes, or local report screens. After the connection is configured, you use TopicLift at <a href=\"https:\/\/topiclift.io\">https:\/\/topiclift.io<\/a> to read and act on the data from your publication.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What you can do in TopicLift<\/h4>\n\n<p>Depending on the data and integrations available for your workspace, TopicLift helps publishers:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Monitor realtime readers, pageviews, reading activity, sources, devices, and outbound or affiliate interactions.<\/li>\n<li>Review synced editorial content and open detailed article metrics.<\/li>\n<li>Connect Google Search Console to understand Search, Google Discover, and Google News visibility.<\/li>\n<li>Receive a daily editorial briefing that brings the most useful signals together.<\/li>\n<li>Identify editorial opportunities, such as articles to create, update, relaunch, monitor, or improve.<\/li>\n<li>Compare traffic, visibility, engagement, and monetization signals before deciding what to do next.<\/li>\n<li>Use AI-assisted readings and recommendations that are grounded in the data available to the workspace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>TopicLift suggests. Editors decide and act. The service is designed to support editorial judgment, not to publish or change articles automatically.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Private Beta<\/h4>\n\n<p>TopicLift is currently in Private Beta for approved WordPress publishers. During the beta, the service is free for approved participants and no credit card or automatic billing is required. Publishers can apply for a free diagnosis of their Google Discover traffic and, if approved, use TopicLift with their own WordPress and Search Console data.<\/p>\n\n<p>Apply at <a href=\"https:\/\/topiclift.io\/register\">https:\/\/topiclift.io\/register<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h4>External service<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin requires a TopicLift account and an approved WordPress site connection. After an administrator enters the Site Key and Site Secret provided by TopicLift, the plugin communicates with:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>https:\/\/topiclift.io\/api\/v1\/collect\/{site_key} for frontend event batches.<\/li>\n<li>https:\/\/topiclift.io\/api\/v1\/sites\/{site_key}\/handshake for connection verification.<\/li>\n<li>https:\/\/topiclift.io\/api\/v1\/sites\/{site_key}\/contents\/sync for editorial metadata synchronization.<\/li>\n<li>https:\/\/topiclift.io\/api\/v1\/sites\/{site_key}\/contents\/recovery for bounded recovery requests when recent Google data refers to an article outside the initial import.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Use of TopicLift is subject to the <a href=\"https:\/\/topiclift.io\/privacy-policy\">TopicLift Privacy Policy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/topiclift.io\/terms-of-service\">Terms of Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Data sent to TopicLift<\/h4>\n\n<p>When an administrator enables tracking, the plugin may send page URL, referrer, device category, event timestamp, session identifier, active reading time, scroll depth, and outbound or affiliate-link interactions. For published posts, it may send article ID, URL, title, author, categories, tags, dates, word count, and featured-image URL.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin does not send WordPress passwords, administrator credentials, or full article body text. Logged-in WordPress users are excluded by default.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Privacy and consent<\/h4>\n\n<p>Tracking is disabled by default on new installations. An administrator must actively enable it in Settings &gt; TopicLift and is responsible for ensuring that the site's visitor notice and consent process provide an appropriate lawful basis for tracking.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Settings &gt; TopicLift.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the Site Key and Site Secret shown in your TopicLift workspace.<\/li>\n<li>Review the data-processing notice and enable tracking only when your visitor consent process is ready.<\/li>\n<li>Save settings. The plugin verifies the connection and imports up to 10,000 published articles from the previous 365 days in small background batches. Older articles are synchronized later if they become active again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20the%20plugin%20create%20reports%20inside%20wordpress%3F\"><h3>Does the plugin create reports inside WordPress?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. TopicLift reports are available in the TopicLift workspace.
