About this plugin
Rank Forge is a modern SEO plugin built around a single insight: an SEO score is only useful if it tells you exactly what to do next. The post-edit metabox gives you a 0-100 SEO score, a SERP preview, focus-keyword analysis, and an editable meta title / description / schema — all from one screen, with no account or API key required. Everything in the Free plugin runs locally on your site: schema markup, XML sitemap, robots.txt, the redirect + 404 manager, image SEO (auto alt text), local business schema, and video schema. The optional Pro add-on layers AI on top — one-click AI meta generation, content optimization, and schema detection — plus Google Search Console, Site Audit, A/B testing and auto internal links.
