I’m on WordPress. Do I need both the plugin AND allrank.ai?
No — just the plugin. The WordPress plugin includes every feature and works entirely inside your WordPress admin. allrank.ai is for people who are not on WordPress (Shopify, Webflow, Wix, custom sites, etc.). You don’t need both.
I’m not on WordPress. What platforms does allrank.ai support?
allrank.ai works with any website that has a public URL — Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Ghost, HubSpot, Drupal, Joomla, Next.js, Nuxt, React, Angular, Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, custom PHP, Laravel, Django, and more. If your page has a URL, we can score it.
Do I need an API key to get started?
No. All 5 core scores (SEO, AEO, GEO, LLM SEO, VLM) work completely free without any API key — both in the WordPress plugin and on allrank.ai. AI-powered features like Answer Simulation, Content Rewriter, and FAQ Generator use your own Claude or OpenAI key when you choose to enable them.
What’s the difference between Free and Pro?
Free gives you all 5 scores, the Action Planner, Content Decay Detector, Schema Generator, AI Source Readiness check, and score history. Pro ($79/year) adds AI-powered features — Answer Simulation, Content Rewriter, AI FAQ Generator, AI Meta Description Generator, and the full Competitor Intelligence suite. The Pro plan uses your own API key so you control costs.
Is this just another SEO plugin? How is it different from Yoast?
Yoast SEO scores one dimension — traditional Google SEO. AllRank AI scores five dimensions: SEO, AEO (Answer Engines), GEO (Generative Engines), LLM SEO (large language models), and VLM (visual language models). In 2026, 50% of Google searches show an AI Overview and ChatGPT handles 250–500 million queries per week. Yoast doesn’t know these platforms exist. AllRank AI was built specifically for them.
Is my content sent to any external server?
Core scoring runs entirely inside your WordPress installation or on our allrank.ai servers — your raw content is never stored permanently. AI features send content to Anthropic or OpenAI only when you explicitly trigger them using your own API key. We don’t sell or share your data.
