GrowRanko

<p><strong>The AI SEO plugin for WordPress.</strong> GrowRanko helps your pages get selected and cited by AI search engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. This is <strong>Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)</strong>: the new layer above traditional SEO that decides which sites AI assistants quote when answering questions.</p>
<p>Run alongside your existing SEO plugin (Yoast, RankMath, AIOSEO). They handle Google rankings; GrowRanko adds the AI-search layer they don’t cover yet.</p>

<h4>What you get for free</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI Visibility Score + history sparkline</strong> — every audited page receives a 0–100 citability score across structural and content signals. Plus a 30-entry rolling history so you can see whether your fixes are working over time.</li>
<li><strong>llms.txt + llms-full.txt generator</strong> — automatic machine-readable content index served at your site root.</li>
<li><strong>Custom llms.txt sections</strong> — add your own markdown blocks (About, Services, FAQ, Locations) that get prepended to the auto-generated index so LLMs see your most important context first.</li>
<li><strong>AI crawler controls</strong> — one-click Allow / Block for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot, CCBot, Applebot-Extended, Amazonbot, DuckAssistBot and others, written into your robots.txt.</li>
<li><strong>AI crawler visit counter</strong> — see exactly which AI bots have fetched pages from your site in the last 7 days. Proof your work is paying off.</li>
<li><strong>Live robots.txt preview</strong> — see exactly what bots see at /robots.txt right now, including rules from other plugins.</li>
<li><strong>Auto schema injection</strong> — detects FAQ blocks, ordered-list how-tos, and article structure on every published post and page, and injects FAQPage / HowTo / Article JSON-LD into the page head. No setup, included for everyone.</li>
<li><strong>Schema preview per post</strong> — pick any post or page and see the exact JSON-LD being injected into the HEAD.</li>
<li><strong>Schema dedupe with Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO / SEOPress</strong> — auto-detects your existing SEO plugin and skips the schema types it already emits, so Google Search Console doesn’t flag duplicates.</li>
<li><strong>Sitemap picker for audits</strong> — discover and audit any URL on your site from a dropdown that reads your existing sitemap (works with core WP, Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO).</li>
<li><strong>IndexNow integration</strong> — automatically pings Bing / Yandex / Naver / Seznam every time you publish or update a post, so they see your changes within seconds instead of waiting for crawl. Free, no API key setup needed.</li>
<li><strong>Per-page fix recommendations</strong> — actionable list of what to improve on each audited URL.</li>
<li><strong>Clean admin UI</strong> — focused on action.</li>
</ul>
<p>All schema generation, llms.txt rendering, and robots.txt rule writing run locally on your site and are free for every user. <strong>No local feature in this plugin is gated by a license, account, email verification, time limit, usage quota or any other restriction</strong> — once activated, every in-plugin feature works immediately.</p>
<h4>Optional external services (run on plugins.growranko.com)</h4>
<p>The plugin offers one optional connection to an external service: the <strong>AI Visibility Score audit</strong>. The audit fetches and analyses a URL’s HTML on plugins.growranko.com (which calls the Gemini API on our server using our paid API key), then returns the score and fix list. Because the actual processing happens on external servers — and cannot be done locally without distributing our paid API key — the audit qualifies as Serviceware under WordPress.org Plugin Guideline 6.</p>
<p>To use the audit you enter an email and confirm a 6-digit code so the service can issue a per-site quota. <strong>This step is only requested inside the audit card itself; it never blocks the rest of the plugin.</strong></p>
<p>A license key is purely optional and only raises the quotas of those external services. It never enables or disables any code that ships inside the plugin.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pro tier (external service)</strong> — unlimited daily audits, AI-powered rewrite suggestions, and priority email support.</li>
<li><strong>Agency tier (external service)</strong> — Pro features plus a weekly AI Visibility Tracker that queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews for your target keywords (Perplexity coming Q3) and logs whether your site is mentioned, plus competitor mention gap analysis, and up to 5 sites.</li>
</ul>
<p>The free tier of the external audit service (20 audits / day) remains usable indefinitely. Even if you never register an email at all, the local features keep working forever.</p>
<h4>Privacy and external services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to plugins.growranko.com to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Verify your email and issue a site token (one OTP email).</li>
<li>Compute the AI Visibility Score for an audited URL — the URL’s HTML is fetched on our server and analysed; results are returned. The HTML is not stored after analysis.</li>
<li>Validate license keys (only when one is entered).</li>
</ul>

GrowRanko AI Search Optimizer

AI SEO for WordPress. Get your pages cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity & Google AI Overviews. Generates llms.

Polymetric Labs

<p>Your best article is already written. It just isn’t structured the way AI search engines want to read it.</p>
<p>ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude don’t return ten blue links. They read a page, lift the answer, and cite a source. If your content buries the answer three paragraphs down, or wanders before it gets to the point, it gets skipped – no matter how good it is or how well it ranks on Google.</p>
<p>Polymetric AI Search Optimizer fixes that without making you start over. It adds a panel to the WordPress block editor that restructures the post you’re editing for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), so the engines can find the answer, understand it, and quote you.</p>
<p>It takes your actual words and reorganizes them – clear structure, key-takeaway summaries, featured-snippet answer blocks, the formats AI systems pull from – while preserving your voice, your specifics, and every single link including affiliate and UTM parameters.</p>
<p>You bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key – a typical 1,500-word rewrite costs roughly 2 to 8 cents. No markup, no middleman: your content goes straight to the provider you choose, and your key is stored encrypted on your own site.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Open any post in the WordPress editor.</li>
<li>Open the Polymetric AI Search Optimizer sidebar and pick a preset, or choose individual tactics.</li>
<li>Click Rewrite. The plugin sends your content to your chosen AI model and gets back an optimized version.</li>
<li>Review the full rewrite in the preview pane. Apply it, or discard it. Nothing changes until you say so, and your previous version is saved as a WordPress revision.</li>
</ol>
<p>No content is published automatically. Ever. You are always the editor.</p>
<h4>What makes it different</h4>
<ul>
<li>It rewrites what you have. Not a content generator. Your research, your numbers, your opinions – kept.</li>
<li>It protects your voice. The optimizer matches your existing tone, vocabulary, and rhythm instead of flattening everything into the same AI monotone.</li>
<li>It guards your keywords. Add the phrases that must survive verbatim, and it reads your Yoast SEO or RankMath focus keyword automatically and locks it too – your exact target terms come through the rewrite word for word.</li>
<li>It never drops a link. Every href, including affiliate links and tracking parameters, survives the rewrite verbatim.</li>
<li>It shows you everything first. Full preview before anything touches your post. One click to undo via revisions.</li>
<li>You control the keys. Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key. No markup on your API usage, no middleman server holding your content.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What it does NOT do</h4>
<ul>
<li>No content generation from nothing – it only restructures content you already have.</li>
<li>No fact-invention or claim-fabrication – numbers, percentages, dates, prices, and names are preserved, never generalized away.</li>
<li>No automatic publishing – you preview and apply.</li>
</ul>
<h4>The optimization tactics</h4>
<p>Pick a preset or toggle these tactics individually:</p>
<ul>
<li>Optimize the heading hierarchy (your H1 post title is left untouched)</li>
<li>Add bullets and lists</li>
<li>Add comparison tables where the data supports them</li>
<li>Add a key-takeaways summary up top</li>
<li>Add a 40-60 word featured-snippet answer block for AI Overviews and position-zero</li>
<li>Add a linked table of contents</li>
<li>Add HowTo steps with HowTo JSON-LD schema for procedural content</li>
<li>Tighten paragraphs (remove filler, no meaning lost)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Presets</h4>
<p>Not sure where to start? Pick a preset:</p>
<ul>
<li>Quick polish – structure only, keeps your voice. The safe default.</li>
<li>Custom – check the exact tactics you want, ignore the rest.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built to fit your existing stack</h4>
<ul>
<li>Reads your focus keyword straight from Yoast SEO or RankMath and loads it as a protected phrase, preserved verbatim through the rewrite.</li>
<li>Detects page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, WPBakery, and more) and warns you before touching content it shouldn’t.</li>
<li>Pure block-editor sidebar. Vanilla JavaScript, zero jQuery.</li>
<li>Long posts are handled in sections automatically, splitting at heading boundaries so a few-thousand-word guide optimizes without timing out.</li>
<li>Images, figures, and source tables are preserved in place.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free and Pro</h4>
<p>The free plugin does the core job, on your own Anthropic or OpenAI key:</p>
<ul>
<li>All eight tactics: headings, bullets, comparison tables, key takeaways, featured-snippet block, table of contents, how-to steps with schema, and tighten paragraphs</li>
<li>Preview-and-apply with full revision safety</li>
<li>Protects your Yoast/RankMath focus keyword automatically, plus any keywords you add yourself</li>
<li>Bring-your-own-key for Anthropic or OpenAI</li>
</ul>
<p>Pro (sold separately at polymetriclabs.com, coming soon) adds the tactics that rewrite your words for citation, plus the controls to aim them:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rewrite tactics: lead-with-answer openers, simpler language, full Q&A reformatting, FAQ sections with FAQPage schema, and inline key-term definitions</li>
<li>Additional presets: Full AI optimization and Rewrite as Q&A</li>
<li>AI keyword detection – automatically finds the entities and key terms worth protecting</li>
<li>A brand-voice override applied to every rewrite</li>
</ul>
<p>A hosted plan is also planned: managed API access (no key of your own needed) and auto-optimization on publish.</p>

<h4>Source code</h4>
<p>The editor sidebar’s minified bundle in <code>assets/sidebar/build/</code> is compiled with <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts" rel="nofollow ugc">@wordpress/scripts</a> from the human-readable React and SCSS source in <code>assets/sidebar/src/</code>, which is included in this package. To rebuild it, run <code>npm install</code> then <code>npm run build</code> from the plugin directory.</p>
<h4>Third-Party Services</h4>
<p>To rewrite a post, this plugin sends its content to an external AI provider. This happens only when you click Rewrite – never in the background, on page load, or on a schedule. Content goes directly from your site to the provider you select in Settings, using your own API key, and is not routed through any intermediary server.</p>
<p><strong>Anthropic (Claude)</strong><br />
Post content is sent to the Anthropic Messages API (api.anthropic.com) for rewriting.</p>
