Yoast tells you what to fix.
We fix it.

Ranklance is a WordPress SEO and AEO plugin that fixes problems instead of just reporting them. AI agents write the fixes; nothing goes live until you approve it.

87.6% of websites lack structured data for AI
3.2x higher AI Overview selection with FAQPage schema
25% classic search traffic drop by 2026 (Gartner)

Your SEO plugin shows you red lights.
Then leaves you alone with them.

Traditional SEO plugins find problems but leave the fixing to you, and they ignore AI search.

Diagnosis without execution

Yoast says "meta description missing." Rank Math says "add FAQ schema." But neither writes the description or generates the schema. You're left to figure it out yourself.

AI search is eating your traffic

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are answering queries that used to send clicks. If your content isn't structured for AI extraction, you're invisible to the next generation of search.

Scaling SEO is manual labor

800 products. 30 client sites. Every meta tag, schema block, and FAQ section is a manual task. Your SEO team spends 6-8 hours/week on repetitive deployment. That's not strategy — it's data entry.

An SEO plugin that actually does the work

Ranklance turns your SEO data into finished fixes. You approve them; they go live.

Core Differentiator

Approval Queue

Every AI-generated change — meta tags, schema, content drafts, FAQ blocks, redirects — lands in a review queue. You see the exact diff, the data that triggered it, expected AEO/SEO score impact, and one-click approve or dismiss. Nothing touches your live site without your deliberate "yes."

Frequently asked questions

What is Ranklance?

A WordPress SEO and AEO plugin by WisdmLabs. Its AI agents write fixes like meta tags, schema and internal links, and apply them once you approve.

Does Ranklance change my site without asking?

No. Every change waits in the approval queue until you approve it.

What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) gets your content cited by AI answer engines like Google AI Overviews. SEO aims for rankings; AEO aims to be the source the AI quotes.

Can I use Ranklance alongside Yoast, Rank Math or All in One SEO?

Yes. Coexistence mode turns off Ranklance’s meta, schema and sitemap output so only AEO scoring runs. To switch fully, import your settings from Yoast, Rank Math or AIOSEO.

Is the free version really free?

Yes. $0 forever, no credit card, one site. It includes AEO and SEO scoring, a meta editor, XML sitemaps and one agent run a month.

Which plan do I need for more than one site?

Free and Solo cover one site. Professional ($249/year) covers 25. Agency ($499/year, coming soon) covers 100.

Which AI model does Ranklance use, and do I need an API key?

Anthropic’s Claude, with your own API key. Scoring, sitemaps and the meta editor work without one.

Is my content sent to AI services or used for training?

Only when you enable AI consent and run an agent. Excerpts go to Anthropic’s Claude API using your own key. Anthropic doesn’t use API data to train its models by default and deletes it within 30 days.

Does Ranklance work with WooCommerce?

Yes. On paid plans, Ranklance generates Product, Offer, AggregateRating and Review schema in bulk for your whole catalogue.

What are the system requirements?

WordPress 6.8+ and PHP 8.2+.

How do I get support?

Free users: the WordPress.org forum. Professional and Agency get priority support (24h and 12h SLA). Or email support@wisdmlabs.com.
