Questions

Everything you wanted to ask

Still curious? Open a ticket on the WordPress.org support forum — we reply within 24–48 hours.

Is Rankora really free for 1 year?
Yes. All core SEO features are free forever — no trial, no expiration. For the launch promotion, every site that installs from WordPress.org also gets all PRO features unlocked free for 12 months: Bulk AI Optimizer, Vision AI alt text, Content AI Generator, Competitor Analysis, Search Console + GA4 integrations, Site Audit Center, and more. After the year ends, PRO features become optional — core SEO continues working.
Do I need to pay anything to use AI features?
Not necessarily. Rankora is bring-your-own-key, so you pay your AI provider directly — never Rankora. Google Gemini 1.5 Flash has a real free tier (15 requests/minute, 1M tokens/day) which is enough for most small and medium sites at $0/month. OpenAI and Claude usage is typically $0.01–0.03 per post.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of structuring your content so AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews choose to cite it when generating answers. Unlike SEO (which optimizes for rankings) and AEO (which optimizes for featured snippets and direct answers), GEO is about being the source AI tools quote. Rankora is the first WordPress plugin with a dedicated GEO scoring engine measuring entity coverage, topical authority, and llms.txt status.
What is llms.txt and why does it matter?
llms.txt is an emerging standard (think robots.txt, but for LLMs) that tells AI language models what content your site contains and how to understand it. Sites with a properly formatted llms.txt are more likely to be cited in AI-generated answers. Rankora generates and serves both llms.txt and llms-full.txt automatically — no manual work.
Will this conflict with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?
Running two SEO plugins simultaneously causes duplicate meta tags and indexing issues. Rankora detects other active SEO plugins and warns you. Use Rankora → Tools → Import to bring in your existing data (titles, descriptions, focus keywords, redirects) from Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, or SEOPress — without losing anything.
Will this slow down my website?
No. Rankora loads zero JavaScript or CSS for unauthenticated frontend visitors. It only enqueues admin assets in the WordPress dashboard. Your Core Web Vitals, LCP, FID, and CLS scores are not affected. The plugin is fully compatible with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, SG Optimizer, and Kinsta Cache.
Is my API key stored securely?
Yes. API keys are encrypted with AES-256-CBC using your WordPress SECURE_AUTH_SALT as the cipher key before being saved to the database. They are never transmitted to any server other than the AI provider you chose, never exposed to the frontend, and never sent to Rankora’s own servers.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce product pages are automatically included in XML sitemaps and benefit from all core Rankora features — Product schema, breadcrumbs, Open Graph, canonical URLs, and the post editor meta box — with no extra configuration.
Does it support WordPress Multisite?
Yes — both network-activated (all sites share settings) and per-site activation (each site configures independently). Tested on multisite networks running WordPress 5.5 through 6.8.

Rank in Google.
Get cited by ChatGPT.

One plugin. SEO + AEO + GEO. Free forever for core features, free for 1 year for everything else.
