RankHouse

RankHouse is an autonomous SEO agent. It reads your site, plans a month of keywords from real Search Console data, writes a blog post every day, and checks whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude name you in the answer.

This plugin is the WordPress half of that loop. Install it, paste the API key from your RankHouse account, and the content the agent writes lands on your site: blog posts arrive as drafts, meta titles and descriptions update the pages you already have, and nothing goes live until you press Publish in RankHouse.

What it publishes

• Blog posts (hero image, categories, tags, author, reading time and SEO fields), as drafts or published

• Page SEO: meta title, meta description and keywords for pages, posts, categories and products that already rank but sit off page one

• Reads your categories and authors (read only), so the editor in RankHouse can file a post under the right ones

• Copy and SEO fields for existing WooCommerce products and product categories when WooCommerce is active (optional)

• Updates to content RankHouse created, and moving such posts to the Trash

How it works

• Create a RankHouse account at https://rankhouse.ai and enter your domain.

• Install this plugin, open Settings → RankHouse and paste the API key shown under Account → Integrations → WordPress.

• Press Connect. The plugin registers your site with RankHouse once.

• Press Publish in the RankHouse editor. The post appears in WordPress.

What it does not do

• It does not change existing content unless you publish a meta or page update from RankHouse.

• It never creates, edits or deletes WordPress users, and never touches roles or passwords. Posts are attributed to an author your site already has (or the default author you choose).

• It never creates or deletes categories, product categories or products. Blog posts may be filed under an existing category; a category name that does not exist on your site is ignored.

• It never permanently deletes anything. The only removal it can perform is moving a post that RankHouse itself published to the Trash, where you can restore it.

• It never changes prices, stock or SKUs.

• It does not send visitor data anywhere. Only the content you publish, and the categories, authors and page list it returns to RankHouse, travel between your site and RankHouse.

• It runs no scheduled tasks and creates no database tables.

Security model

• Every endpoint requires the API key (64 random hex characters, generated by RankHouse), compared in constant time. Ten wrong keys from one address lock that address out for 15 minutes.

• The key is stored as a non-autoloaded option, is only ever pasted by an administrator (manage_options + nonce), and can be revoked from either side at any time.

• All input is sanitized: titles with sanitize_text_field, HTML through wp_kses_post, ids with absint, URLs with esc_url_raw; images are fetched with WordPress’s own safe download and media functions.

• The REST routes are hidden from the API index, and nothing runs on a schedule.

Requirements

• A RankHouse account (https://rankhouse.ai)

• WordPress 6.2 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer

• Pretty permalinks (Settings → Permalinks, anything except “Plain”)

• An https:// site address (plain http is accepted only for local development hosts)

• WooCommerce 8.0 or newer is optional — product publishing is available when it is active

Everything else is inbound: after you connect, RankHouse calls the plugin’s REST endpoints on your site (https://your-site/wp-json/rankhouse/v1/…), authenticated with the API key you pasted, to create and update blog posts, update the copy and SEO fields of existing pages, categories and — when WooCommerce is active — products and product categories, to move posts RankHouse published to the Trash, and to read your list of pages, categories, authors and languages so they can be chosen in the RankHouse editor.

It cannot create, edit or delete users, cannot create or delete categories or products, and cannot permanently delete anything. Nothing is pushed to RankHouse on a schedule, and nothing happens until you connect.

Images: when a post or product from RankHouse carries a hero or product image, the plugin downloads that image into your Media Library from the URL RankHouse supplies. com (Google Cloud Storage). No other third-party service is contacted.
