About this plugin
ThinkRank is an AI SEO plugin for WordPress that helps you write SEO titles and meta descriptions, optimize content around a focus keyword, add schema markup, generate XML sitemaps, and review Google Search Console data in your dashboard.
Manage SEO inside WordPress or connect a compatible AI assistant through the built-in MCP server. Use your own AI provider key for generation, review the results, and control which tasks connected assistants can perform.
AI SEO Titles and Meta Descriptions
Create and edit an SEO title and meta description for posts, pages, products, and supported custom post types. Generate suggestions with AI, review the search preview, and adjust the wording before applying it. Use bulk optimization to review metadata across your content and find duplicate titles and descriptions.
Focus Keyword Optimization and Content Analysis
Choose a focus keyword and check how your content uses it in titles, descriptions, headings, and body text. ThinkRank provides an on-page SEO score and recommendations for links, readability, and content structure. Review suggestions in the editor as you improve each page.
Schema Markup and Structured Data
Add JSON-LD schema markup for supported content types, including Article, FAQ, HowTo, Organization, Local Business, and Breadcrumb. Use structured data to describe your content to search engines. FAQ and HowTo blocks help you add structured content while writing; rich-result eligibility depends on the search engine and its requirements.
XML Sitemap Generator
Generate an XML sitemap to help search engines discover your public content. Choose which post types to include and use a sitemap index with paginated child sitemaps. txt.
Google Search Console Inside WordPress
Connect Google Search Console to review clicks, impressions, search queries, and keyword opportunities without leaving your dashboard. Use those insights to decide which pages and metadata need attention. Core SEO settings work without connecting Google.
Built-in MCP Server for AI Assistants
Connect compatible assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to ThinkRank’s SEO tools. Ask an assistant to review missing metadata, inspect SEO issues, or help manage schema and sitemap settings.
An administrator enables MCP and approves each connection. Choose access by area, review changes in the activity log, and revert supported changes when needed. ThinkRank Hub is an optional way to view connected sites together.
llms.txt Generator for AI Tools
txt file: a Markdown index that points AI agents and tools to important content on your site. Treat it as a content-discovery aid for compatible tools. It does not guarantee Google rankings, AI Overview inclusion, or citations in AI answers.
Technical SEO and Site Audits
txt, breadcrumbs, and social sharing metadata. Review the Site SEO Analyzer for site-wide issues and guidance. ThinkRank also includes image SEO controls, Local Business information, and product metadata for WooCommerce.
Free SEO Features, AI Usage, and ThinkRank Pro
The free plugin includes core metadata controls, content analysis, schema controls, XML sitemaps, and a Google Search Console connection. AI generation requires your own supported provider key or a configured compatible endpoint. Provider usage charges may apply; ThinkRank does not sell AI credit packs.
ThinkRank Pro adds advanced tools such as redirects, 404 monitoring, broken-link checking, AI internal linking, keyword rank tracking, custom schema, advanced WooCommerce SEO, multi-location Local SEO, GA4 integration, and News and Video sitemaps.
Switch to ThinkRank
Use the setup wizard to import supported SEO data from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, Squirrly SEO, or Slim SEO. ThinkRank supports Gutenberg, the Classic Editor, and popular page builders. Configure your SEO settings, review your imported data, and connect an AI provider or assistant when you need one.
External services
Core SEO features need no external service. Each service below is contacted only when you use or switch on the feature that needs it – never to license or unlock ThinkRank features.
AI providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter
For AI features: metadata and content brief generation, AI insights, “Explain with AI”, image alt text, and the generative MCP tools. Only providers you add an API key for are contacted. ThinkRank sends that key and the content the task needs (such as a post’s title and content, your prompt, or image data) when you run an AI action, or in the background for automatic AI features you switch on.

OpenAI-compatible endpoint you configure
Optional. If you choose the “Custom endpoint” AI provider and enter a base URL, the AI features above send the same content – and the API key you enter, if any – to that URL instead of to a provider above. Nothing is sent until you configure it, and where it goes is entirely your choice: a model on your own server (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM), your Azure OpenAI deployment, your company gateway, or a hosted service.
ThinkRank has no relationship with that endpoint, so its own terms and privacy policy apply.

ThinkRank Hub (hub.thinkrank.ai, optional)
Only if you click Connect to ThinkRank Hub under ThinkRank > AI Tools > ThinkRank Hub, or on the Setup Wizard’s ThinkRank Hub step. ai with this site’s address and a one-time ticket. You then approve the hub on this site’s own approval page, the way any AI client is approved, choosing for each area whether the hub can read only or also make changes it can undo.
At the approval the site tells the hub its address, its blog ID, the ThinkRank (and ThinkRank Pro) versions and its public WordPress site icon URL. MCP initialization repeats these public facts so the hub can refresh them without another connection, which means every MCP client you have approved also receives them.
Under that approval, within the areas you approve, the hub and the AI assistants you connect to the hub can read over MCP: SEO Analyzer reports, settings, posts’ and pages’ content and SEO fields, Search Console, Google Analytics and PageSpeed data, indexing history and the MCP activity log. The hub keeps the reports and figures it reads, never your posts’ content. With changes allowed, they make only the changes the approval and ThinkRank allow, each recorded in the MCP activity log where it can be reverted.
