Rank Prompt Connector

Rank Prompt writes articles that AI assistants and search engines can cite, and publishes them to your WordPress site with an application password. This plugin makes that publish complete. SEO fields that stick. Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress each keep the SEO title, meta description, focus keyword, social title and description and canonical URL their own way. Current Yoast SEO versions accept the title, description and keyword over the WordPress REST API on posts only, and not the social fields or the canonical URL; Rank Math accepts none; SEOPress accepts all of them. Without this plugin the fields left out are dropped silently. With it, the fields of the SEO plugin you run are saved on posts and pages, for users who can edit them. Structured data in the head. WordPress removes script tags from a post's body unless its author may post unfiltered HTML, so structured data sent in the body often never reaches the page. Rank Prompt saves the JSON-LD of a post or page in one field instead, and the plugin prints it in that page's head. Only valid JSON is kept. llms.txt and robots.txt. When an administrator connects the site, Rank Prompt can save the text of llms.txt and robots.txt. The plugin serves the saved llms.txt at /llms.txt and the saved robots.txt as WordPress's own; with nothing saved, WordPress's defaults stay. A file of either name in the site's folder, such as the llms.txt Yoast SEO writes when its llms.txt feature is on, takes precedence, and Rank Prompt leaves it alone. IndexNow on publish. The plugin generates an IndexNow key for your site and serves it at /{key}.txt. Rank Prompt uses it to tell Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver about a post the moment it goes live, instead of waiting for the next crawl. A free check of what AI can read. Settings, Rank Prompt shows whether your site has an llms.txt file and which search engine and AI crawlers your robots.txt lets in, with search engines flagged first because blocking one removes your pages from that index. AI crawler visits, if you turn them on. Once the site is connected in Rank Prompt (AI crawlers), an administrator can turn on sending in Settings, Rank Prompt. Each visit from an AI crawler such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot is then sent to Rank Prompt every five minutes, so you can see which pages those crawlers read and where they hit errors. Visits from people are never noted. The plugin works without a Rank Prompt account. The SEO fields and IndexNow parts are used when you connect the site in Rank Prompt (Integrations, WordPress).

1.3.0

• Open Graph and canonical: the social title and description and the canonical URL of Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress and All in One SEO can be saved on posts and pages, for users who can edit them.
• llms.txt and robots.txt: an administrator's Rank Prompt connection can save the text of both; the plugin serves the saved llms.txt and hands the saved robots.txt to WordPress, unless a file of that name sits in the site's folder.
• Elementor: after Rank Prompt changes a page Elementor draws, the plugin clears that page's Elementor CSS and rendered copy, as Elementor's own save does, so the change shows at once.
