About this plugin
Sightkick is a hosted SEO and AI-search service that researches, writes, scores and publishes articles for your site, then keeps them current. This plugin is the WordPress side of that connection.
What the plugin does
- Creates each article as a native block post – headings, lists, tables, quotes and images as real Gutenberg blocks you can edit.
- Publishes comparison, alternatives, integration and use-case pages in their own subfolders of your site (/vs/, /alternatives/, /integrations/, /use-cases/ by default), each a post type of its own with an archive page at its subfolder. You rename them and move them in Sightkick, and add destinations of your own beside the blog, such as Guides at /guides/, each with articles in its own subfolder. Block themes get a clean single-page template for them; classic themes use their usual single template.
- Downloads every image into your media library, sets the alt text and the featured image. No hot-linking.
- Writes the SEO title, meta description, focus keyphrase and social image into Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress or The SEO Framework when one is active. Without an SEO plugin it renders the title, description, Open Graph tags and structured data itself.
- Updates a published article or page in place when Sightkick refreshes it – same post, same URL.
- Takes a page down when you retire it in Sightkick: it goes back to a draft, never deleted.
- Serves your IndexNow key file so search engines are told about new and updated URLs.
- Writes only to the posts and pages it created, with one exception you control: when your Sightkick settings allow it, it improves the SEO title and meta description of your other posts and pages, one change at a time, each one undoable from Sightkick. Nothing else on those pages changes: not the text, the post title, the address or any other setting.
