Install and activate the plugin 2. Connect your site to the RankBotAI service (free account) 3. Start optimizing — click “Auto Optimize” on any post, or launch bulk processing 4. AI generates optimized SEO data and applies it to your content 5. Your SEO fields in Rank Math / Yoast are updated automatically #### Works Great With * **Rank Math SEO** — Full integration: reads/writes focus keywords, meta titles, and descriptions * **Yoast SEO** — Full integration: reads/writes focus keywords, meta titles, and descriptions * **All in One SEO (AIOSEO)** — Basic integration for meta fields * **WooCommerce** — Optimized for products with enhanced Product JSON-LD schema * **Works standalone** — If no SEO plugin is installed, RankBotAI stores data in its own meta fields ### Compatibility RankBotAI is designed to work alongside other SEO plugins. It can read/write common SEO fields used by: * Yoast SEO * Rank Math * All in One SEO Notes: * RankBotAI does not disable other SEO plugins. * If multiple plugins manage the same meta fields, the “last saved” value wins (standard WordPress behavior).* For best results, we recommend having either Rank Math or Yoast SEO active. ### External Services This plugin connects to an external API service (RankBotAI) to generate SEO suggestions and optimizations. Service provider: * RankBotAI: https://rankbotai.link * BuyReadySite (support/maintenance): https://buyreadysite.com Service policies: * Privacy Policy: https://rankbotai.link/privacy * Terms of Service: https://rankbotai.link/terms API base URL used by the plugin: * https://rankbotai.link The plugin sends requests to the service when you: * Connect your site (registration/ verification) * Request generation/optimization (for posts, products, and terms)* View your RankBot history/balance/models/plans (service data) * Poll background jobs (queued optimizations) Data sent to the service can include (depending on the action you trigger): * Your site URL (domain) and basic environment info (WordPress version, plugin version)* A site connection key (Bearer token) stored in your WordPress database * Post/product/ term data you choose to optimize, such as title, permalink, excerpt, and content( including HTML) * Existing focus keyword (if present), categories/tags, and basic WooCommerce product attributes (e.g. price, currency, SKU) * Image IDs/context for generating alt text (if enabled by the optimization action) Endpoints used by the plugin include: * POST /api/v1/site/register * POST /api/ v1/site/verify * GET /api/v1/balance * GET /api/v1/plans * GET /api/v1/models * GET /api/v1/history * POST /api/v1/generate * POST /api/v1/jobs/check * POST /api/ v1/internal/run-job Please review the RankBotAI website for service terms and privacy information: * https://rankbotai.link/privacy * https://rankbotai.link/terms ### Pricing / Tokens RankBotAI uses a credit-based system. * A free tier is available with monthly free credits and full access to the RankBot AI engine. * Paid subscriptions provide higher credit limits and priority processing. * Pay As You Go option available — top up credits as needed.

Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2.

The plugin connects to the RankBotAI service API to generate SEO suggestions and optimizations. A free tier is available. ### What data does the plugin send to the API? It sends only the data needed for the action you trigger. This can include your site URL, environment info (WordPress/plugin version), and the post/product/term content you request to optimize. ### Does RankBotAI work with Yoast SEO / Rank Math? Yes! RankBotAI is specifically designed to complement Rank Math and Yoast SEO. It reads existing SEO data from these plugins and writes optimized values back to them. ### Can I use RankBotAI without Rank Math or Yoast? Yes. RankBotAI works standalone and stores SEO data in its own meta fields. However, for the best SEO results, we recommend pairing it with Rank Math or Yoast SEO. ### Is this plugin free? The plugin is free and GPL-licensed. The RankBotAI service provides a free credit tier and offers paid plans for additional usage and higher limits. ### Does the plugin store any content backups? Yes. Before applying optimization changes, the plugin creates a backup snapshot so you can restore if needed. ### How fast is the optimization? Most single-page optimizations complete in 5–15 seconds. Bulk optimization of 100 + pages typically finishes within 15–30 minutes using background processing. ### What AI models are available? RankBotAI uses its own RankBot AI engine — an advanced multi-model system with automatic failover. You don’t need to choose or configure any models. The system automatically selects the best available model for each request. ### Does RankBotAI modify my content? Only if you explicitly enable content optimization in settings. By default, RankBotAI only updates SEO meta fields (title, description, focus keyword). Content changes require opt-in. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RankBotAI – AI SEO Optimizer for RankMath & Yoast” is open source software.

Useful to ban specific topics (“do not mention free shipping”), enforce disclaimers (“note that the manufacturer can change package contents”) or restrict scope (“describe only the product specified in the title — do not invent unrelated items”). Stored on the RankBotAI server, applied at prompt-build time. Max 2000 characters. * NEW: Admin UI block on the main plugin page — connected sites get a textarea with live character counter and one-click cloud sync. * NEW: Server endpoints `GET /api/v1/site/custom-prompt` and `POST /api/v1/site/ custom-prompt` (Bearer-auth, per-site). * NEW: Server endpoint `GET /api/v1/runtime-config` — exposes the active AI pool mode (`paid_first` / `free_with_paid_fallback` / `free_only`) and the matching dispatch profile (parallel jobs, polling cadence, stuck-job timeouts). The bulk runner can read this on the fly to scale itself up/down without a plugin update. * NEW: Admin **AI Models Pool** in the cloud dashboard — three radio-card modes( PAID-FIRST, BALANCED, FREE-ONLY) with cost/speed/quality trade-off summary; per- model RPM/priority editing; one-click discovery of fresh free OpenRouter models. * IMPROVED: Multi-key rotation — when one OpenRouter / Groq key hits its 20 RPM cap, the model is no longer blacklisted globally; another key for the same model is tried first. * IMPROVED: Hallucination guard — global instructions are prepended as `CLIENT'S MANDATORY GLOBAL INSTRUCTIONS` block at the very top of the system prompt, with explicit “must override defaults” phrasing. * FIX: `Database::getInstance()` typo in `OpenAIService` was silently falling back to default mode — pool mode and active models are now actually read from DB. * FIX: `Cache-Control` header on `/api/v1/runtime-config` switched to `no-store` so mode changes propagate to WP within seconds (CDN was caching the old JSON). #### 1.5.0 — 2026-04-21 * NEW: Rollback All button on Bulk page — one-click restore of every post & product to its pre-RankBot state (batched processing with a modern progress bar, ETA and live items/sec stats). * NEW: Unique focus keywords in bulk mode — AI receives the list of focus keywords already used across the site and avoids duplicates between products. * NEW: Universal niche-agnostic prompts — the plugin now produces high-quality SEO for any store type (auto parts, adult, pharmacy, services, electronics, fashion, food, etc.) with strict anti-hallucination rules (no invented prices, no competitor brands, no placeholders, facts-only). * NEW: Source language auto-detection — AI always writes in the same language as the original product/post content. Supported: Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, German, Spanish, English and more. * NEW: Infinite free retry on failed generations — failed jobs are re-tried without charging extra tokens, with an anti-cycle guard that prevents the same mistake repeating across attempts. * NEW: AIMD throttle auto-recovery — bulk dispatch concurrency automatically recovers after transient provider errors (no more “stuck at 1 parallel”). * SPEED: Higher bulk concurrency for free OSS model — base 8 / max 12 parallel jobs (was 5 / 8). Target throughput: ~700 items/hour on healthy provider. * SPEED: Faster AIMD ramp-up — concurrency now grows after every 1 successful tick( was 2) and shrinks by only -25% on errors (was -50%). * SPEED: Hot-loop cron interval reduced from 5s to 2s while jobs are queued — fewer idle gaps between dispatches. * IMPROVED: /api/v1/history endpoint up to 100× faster on warm cache (~0.27s vs ~31s) thanks to new composite indexes and 30s server-side file cache. * IMPROVED: Output validation layer rejects hallucinated placeholders ([brand],{ name}, TBD), wrong-length meta tags, and content written in the wrong language. * IMPROVED: Purged dead and hallucinated model IDs from the free model pool; only verified working OpenRouter & Groq models remain. #### 1.4.3 — 2026-07-19 * NEW: Speed & ETA indicators in bulk progress bar — shows items/hr, avg time per item, and estimated time remaining * NEW: ETA display in admin bar badge during bulk processing * IMPROVED: Server provides timing data for accurate speed calculations across page reloads #### 1.4.2 — 2026-07-19 * FIX: Critical bulk processing bug — jobs were not saved to local tracking table, causing infinite retry loops * FIX: Auto-recovery for missing local job rows — polls server to restore sync state * FIX: Cron poll handler now recovers orphaned jobs from postmeta when local row is missing * IMPROVED: Product optimization now sends weight, dimensions, tags, and review data to AI * IMPROVED: AI prompt emphasizes attribute integration and specifications table * IMPROVED: Short description generation now requires key attributes and focus keyword #### 1.4.1 — 2026-06-26 * NEW: Schema.org JSON-LD — automatic Article & Product structured data output in wp_head * NEW: A/B testing for meta titles & descriptions — cookie-based variant rotation with impression tracking * NEW: Bulk CSV export/import of SEO data (title, description, keyword, score) for all posts, pages, and products * NEW: Gutenberg
