Top bar
Status, counter and the main screens, in wp-admin and on the site. On mobile the dot and the counter stay.
WordPress plugin
The SEO plugin that prepares the work, and waits for you
In the top bar, in the editor and in Changes. Titles, links, blogs and your local profile. You approve. What you do not want does not go live.
Zip file, not in the WordPress directory yet. Works with the block editor, the Classic Editor and WooCommerce, next to Yoast or Rank Math or instead of them.

Look around the plugin
Click a screen. This is a rebuilt view, not data from a customer. Dashes are fields where a real site does not have a figure yet.

Is it in Google? ↗
Example view, not customer data
PlainRank sits in the WordPress bar
Green, yellow or red, plus a counter. On a page you see whether it may be in Google, whether there is a description, and whether there is a keyword. Rank Math and Yoast supply those fields when they are on.
- ✓Works in wp-admin and on the site
- ✓No request to the outside
- ✓A customer only sees Today and Changes
Changes
Titles, links, drafts and local proposals. Nothing goes live without approval, and everything can be rolled back.
Editor
In the block editor and the Classic Editor: title, readability and facts of the page you are writing.
Local
Business profile, reviews, listings and location pages. Writing to Google is not connected yet.
Topics
Topic map, content plan, terms and template pages for place, sector, facet and comparison.
Links and blogs
A link only if the anchor text is already in a sentence. A blog only for a question from Search Console.
A regular SEO plugin and PlainRank side by side
An SEO plugin gives you the buttons. PlainRank also says which ones to press, and why.
| A regular SEO plugin | PlainRank | |
|---|---|---|
| Where do you start? | With a list of settings and a score per page | With Changes: what is waiting, with a reason |
| Inside WordPress | A menu somewhere on the left | Also in the top bar, on the site and in the editor |
| Titles and descriptions | You write them yourself | A proposal when Search Console supports a better title |
| After a theme update | You notice when visitors stay away | The watcher puts it in WordPress the same morning |
| Local | Separate fields for name and address | Profile, reviews and location pages, with dashes where data is missing |
| Having copy written | General AI copy | Only topics from your own site or Search Console |
| What did it produce? | A green dot | Clicks and position before and after, per change, when that measurement exists |

On in three steps
Download and upload
Get the zip and upload it in WordPress under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Searching the directory does not find it yet.
Connect with a code
Log in at PlainRank, create a one-time code and paste it in the plugin. No password and no AI key in WordPress.
Choose what it may do itself
By default it asks first for everything. Per type of change you can turn that on later. Rolling back stays possible.
Questions
Can it run next to Yoast or Rank Math?
Yes. Then PlainRank itself puts nothing in your pages that the other plugin already does, so nothing is duplicated. In the top bar and in the editor it reads the title, description and keyword from that plugin.
Does it make my site slower?
No. The top bar only reads what the plugin has already stored and makes no request to PlainRank or to Google. Analysis and writing happen at PlainRank.
Are there AI keys or passwords in WordPress?
No. You connect with your PlainRank login and a one-time code. The site secret stays on the server.
Does anything go live without me knowing?
No. By default the plugin asks first for everything. You see it in Changes and in the top bar. Every change can be rolled back.
What do I see in the top bar?
A dot: green when nothing is waiting, yellow when changes are open, red when the watcher saw something. On a page you see seen, clicks and position when those figures are already stored. Otherwise there is a dash.
Can I update the Google Business Profile from WordPress?
You see the profile, the reviews and the location pages. A proposal or a review reply is saved, but does not go to Google yet. Figures Google has not supplied stay a dash.
Where do location pages and blog proposals come from?
Place series for the Netherlands and Belgium are not on this site. Blog proposals are questions Search Console already saw. If that data is missing, the list stays empty.
What if I stop using PlainRank?
Changes that are already live stay live. The plugin keeps doing the SEO basics. Prepared improvements and writing stop without the connection.
Does it work with the Classic Editor and WooCommerce?
Yes. In the Classic Editor PlainRank sits in a panel beside your text. With WooCommerce it helps with product titles, descriptions and product data for Google.
How many pages does the watcher follow?
At most 50, even without a plan. It does not roll back theme and plugin files.
