One dashboard gives you SEO titles and meta descriptions with a live Google preview, a connected JSON-LD schema graph (Organization, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Product and LocalBusiness with opening hours), XML sitemaps, an **llms.txt generator** with per-crawler AI controls, a redirect manager with a 404 monitor, IndexNow, and a real-time content analyzer that scores every post for SEO and for **AI search readiness (GEO)**. Every SEO module is free, on unlimited sites, with no account and no licence key. Moving from Yoast SEO or Rank Math? The built-in importer brings your titles, descriptions, focus keywords, redirects and settings across without overwriting anything. It also includes an **AI writer that uses your own API key** (Google Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, OpenAI or Anthropic Claude) to turn a topic into an SEO-ready draft, with the meta description, focus keyword and FAQ schema already filled in. Two automations have a small free allowance, both resetting on the 1st of each month: the AI writer generates **3 articles** a month, and **One-Click Optimize** repairs **3 posts** a month. Everything you do by hand is unlimited. The optional [Impex Rank SEO Pro](https://wprank.in/pricing) add-on removes both allowances and adds scheduled Autopilot publishing. This plugin makes no connection to our servers. Full feature list: [wprank.in/features](https://wprank.in/features) · Documentation: [wprank.in/docs](https://wprank.in/docs/) #### AI search: llms.txt, AI crawlers and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) * **llms.txt generator** — `/llms.txt` is built automatically from your key pages and recent posts, each with its meta description, and keeps itself up to date. Write your own instead if you prefer. [More about llms.txt](https://wprank.in/llms-txt-generator) * **llms-full.txt** — `/llms-full.txt` carries the full text of your pages and recent posts, with headings kept as Markdown, for AI assistants that read whole documents. * **AI crawler controls** — allow or block GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider, Meta and Amazonbot from one table. The screen tells you which crawlers train models and which power AI answers, so you can keep one without the other. Google Search and Bing are never affected. * **AI search readiness (GEO) score** — every post gets a second score for how quotable it is in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews: an answer- first opening paragraph, question headings, lists and tables, FAQ schema, concrete facts, depth and freshness. The dashboard lists the pages to improve first. #### Optimize every page * **Real-time content analysis** with a weighted 0–100 score and grouped checks as you write, in the block editor and the classic editor. * **Live Google preview** (SERP snippet) with title and description length counters. * Focus keyword plus **secondary keywords**, each scored separately. * Per-post **SEO title**, **meta description**, **canonical URL**, **noindex/nofollow**,** cornerstone** and schema type. * **Category and tag SEO** — title, description and noindex on every public taxonomy. * Site-wide **title and meta templates** with variables (`%%title%%`, `%%sitename%%`,`%% sep%%`, `%%excerpt%%`, `%%category%%`, `%%focuskw%%`, `%%currentyear%%` and more) for every post type, taxonomy and archive. * **Bulk editor** for titles, descriptions, focus keywords and noindex across many posts at once. #### Schema markup (JSON-LD) One connected `@graph` per page: **Organization or Person** (logo falls back to your theme logo or site icon), **WebSite**, **WebPage**, **BreadcrumbList**, **Article/ BlogPosting / NewsArticle** (image falls back to the first image in the post), ** Product** (WooCommerce price, stock, SKU and ratings), **FAQPage** from the FAQ builder in the editor, and **LocalBusiness** with address, phone, geo coordinates,** openingHoursSpecification** and extra branch locations. [Schema guide](https://wprank.in/schema-markup-wordpress) LocalBusiness is off by default: tick “This is a local business” in the setup wizard, or turn on **Local SEO Enable Local Business schema**, then add your address and hours (one rule per line, e.g. `Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00`). #### Social * **Open Graph** and **Twitter/X Cards** with per-post title, description and image overrides, a default share image and social profile links (used as schema `sameAs`). #### Technical SEO * **XML sitemap** — index plus per-post-type and per-taxonomy sitemaps with images, a readable styled view, and automatic exclusion of noindexed content. `/sitemap. xml`, `/sitemap_index.xml` and `/wp-sitemap.xml` redirect to it, so a sitemap you submitted from another plugin keeps working. HTML sitemap shortcode `[impex_html_sitemap]` for visitors. * **301 redirects** — redirect manager with 301/302/307/410, regex rules, hit counts, and automatic 301s when a published post’s slug changes. * **404 monitor** — logs broken URLs with hits and referrers so you can redirect them. * **IndexNow** — notifies Bing, Yandex and other participating engines the moment you publish or update. * **robots.txt editor**, breadcrumbs (`[impex_breadcrumbs]` and `impexseo_breadcrumbs()`), webmaster verification (Google, Bing, Pinterest, Yandex, Baidu), head cleanup, external-link attributes, table of contents, RSS footer and a `.htaccess` editor. * **Image SEO** — when you upload an image without alt text, its title (from the file name) becomes the alt text, and images WordPress prints from the media library get the same fallback. For images already inside your posts, One-Click Optimize adds the missing alt text. * **Page speed** — PageSpeed Insights scores (mobile and desktop) with Core Web Vitals, when you click “Check page speed”. #### Works next to your old SEO plugin (and helps you leave it) If Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework or another SEO plugin is active, Impex Rank SEO detects it and switches to **compatibility mode**: it stops printing a second title, meta description, canonical, schema and sitemap, so your pages never carry duplicates, while redirects, the 404 monitor, llms.txt, AI crawler controls, the analyzer and the AI writer keep working. A notice offers one-click import and deactivation. [Switching guide](https://wprank.in/switch-from-yoast-rank-math) The **Yoast SEO / Rank Math importer** copies SEO titles and descriptions (converting their template variables), focus keywords, canonicals, social overrides, noindex/ nofollow, cornerstone and primary category, category and tag SEO, redirects (Rank Math, and Yoast Premium’s plain redirects), and optionally the title separator, homepage and post-type templates, social profiles and verification codes. Existing Impex Rank SEO data is never overwritten. #### AI writer (bring your own key) Turn a topic into a complete draft with headings, key takeaways, a comparison table, an FAQ, internal links to related posts and a call to action, saved with its SEO title, meta description, focus keyword and FAQ schema filled in. Use Google Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, OpenAI or Anthropic with your own API key. Topic queue included.

Each one runs only when you enable or use the related feature. The plugin never contacts wprank.in or any server of ours. 1. **IndexNow** (only when the IndexNow feature is enabled, which it is by default; turn it off on the dashboard): on publish/update, the URL of the changed content is sent to `https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow` so participating search engines are notified. Data sent: the content URL, your site’s host name and your site’s IndexNow key. Terms of use & privacy: https://www.indexnow.org/terms 2. **Google PageSpeed Insights** (only when you click “Check page speed”): the URL being tested is sent to `https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v5/runPagespeed` to return a performance score. Data sent: the page URL (and your optional API key). Terms: https://developers.google.com/terms — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/ privacy 3. **AI content providers — your choice, your key** (only when you configure the AI Writer and generate a post or test a provider): the topic/prompt you enter is sent to the provider you selected — Google Gemini (`https://generativelanguage.googleapis. com`), Groq (`https://api.groq.com`), OpenRouter (`https://openrouter.ai`), OpenAI(` https://api.openai.com`) or Anthropic (`https://api.anthropic.com`). Data sent: your prompt/topic and settings, using the API key you provide. Review the terms& privacy of the provider you choose, e.g. Gemini: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/ terms / https://policies.google.com/privacy ; OpenAI: https://openai.com/policies/ terms-of-use / https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy ; Anthropic: https:// www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms / https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy; Groq: https://groq.com/terms-of-use/ / https://groq.com/privacy-policy/ ; OpenRouter: https://openrouter.ai/terms / https://openrouter.ai/privacy Links to wprank.in in this readme and in the plugin’s screens are ordinary links; following them is your choice and nothing is sent automatically. ## Screenshots [⌊The SEO meta box: live Google preview, focus keyword and secondary keywords scored separately, with character counters that update as you type.⌉⌊The SEO meta box: live Google preview, focus keyword and secondary keywords scored separately, with character counters that update as you type.⌉[ The SEO meta box: live Google preview, focus keyword and secondary keywords scored separately, with character counters that update as you type.

Submit `yoursite.com/impex-sitemap.xml` in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. ## FAQ ### Is it free? Is anything limited? Every SEO feature is free and uncapped on any number of sites: titles, meta, schema, sitemaps, llms.txt, AI crawler controls, redirects, the 404 monitor, breadcrumbs, image SEO, the analyzer, the GEO score, the importer and the bulk editor. Two automations have a monthly allowance because they do work for you: the **AI writer** generates 3 articles a month, and **One-Click Optimize** (“Optimize this post”, “Fix everything” and “Optimize all pages”) repairs 3 posts a month. The single- issue Fix buttons in the analysis cost nothing, but they pause once the 3 optimize runs are used. Both allowances reset on the 1st. Editing anything by hand is always unlimited. [Pricing](https://wprank.in/pricing) ### What does the Pro add-on change? Pro removes both monthly allowances, adds content-level fixes (keyword in the intro and subheadings, internal links) and enables Autopilot, which publishes from your topic queue on a schedule. It is a separate plugin you download after purchase. You never need it for the SEO features. ### How do I create an llms.txt file? You do not need to. With the plugin active, `yoursite.com/llms.txt` is generated from your pages and recent posts and updates itself, and `yoursite.com/llms-full. txt` contains their full text. To write your own, paste it into **Tools llms.txt**. If a physical `llms.txt` file exists in your site root, the web server serves that one instead. ### Can I block ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity from my site? Yes. **Tools AI crawlers** lists each crawler with what it is used for. Tick the ones to block and they get a `Disallow: /` rule in robots.txt. Blocking training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot) keeps your content out of model training; blocking search crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot) also removes you from those assistants’ answers. Google Search and Bing are not affected. Robots rules are a request that reputable crawlers honour, not an enforcement mechanism. ### What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)? GEO means making pages easy for AI answer engines (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) to understand and quote. Impex Rank SEO scores each post on the habits that help: a direct answer in the opening paragraph, question-style headings, lists and tables, FAQ schema, specific facts, depth and recent updates. ### Does it support IndexNow? Yes. IndexNow is on by default: a key is generated on activation and every publish or update is sent to the IndexNow API, which shares it with Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver and other participating engines. Google does not use IndexNow. ### Can I use it alongside Yoast SEO or Rank Math? Yes, safely. While another SEO plugin is active, Impex Rank SEO runs in compatibility mode and does not print duplicate titles, meta, schema or sitemaps. When you are ready, import your data and deactivate the other plugin; Impex Rank SEO takes over automatically. You can turn compatibility mode off under **Tools Other SEO plugins**. ### Will I lose my Yoast or Rank Math data? No. The importer only copies; it never deletes the other plugin’s data and never overwrites values you already set in Impex Rank SEO. Rank Math’s `%title% %sep% % sitename%` style variables are converted to this plugin’s `%%title%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%`. ### How do I add FAQ schema? Open the post, go to the **Advanced** tab of the Impex Rank SEO box and add your questions and answers. They are output as FAQPage schema on that page. ### Where is my XML sitemap? At `yoursite.com/impex-sitemap.xml`. `/sitemap.xml` and `/sitemap_index.xml` redirect there. If it shows a 404, visit **Settings Permalinks** once to refresh rewrite rules. ### Does the plugin phone home? No. This plugin makes no connection to our servers. The AI writer calls only the AI provider you choose, with your key; PageSpeed calls Google only when you click“ Check page speed”; IndexNow sends changed URLs when you publish. See External services below. The separate Pro add-on validates its licence key against wprank.in, but this plugin does not. ### What happens when I delete the plugin? Settings, AI provider keys, redirects, the 404 log and the AI queue are removed. Your per-post and per-term SEO titles, descriptions and keywords are kept, so reinstalling restores your work. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Impex Rank SEO – AI Writer, Schema, XML Sitemap & llms.txt” is open source software.

Defaults are now empty, and the update removes those four URLs from saved settings (anything you entered yourself is kept). * **Fixed: two robots meta tags and two canonical tags on every page.** Robots directives now go through WordPress’s own `wp_robots` (one tag, now with `max- snippet` and `max-video-preview`), and core’s duplicate canonical is removed. Canonicals added for the blog page, post type archives and paginated archives. * **Fixed: duplicate titles, meta, schema and sitemaps when another SEO plugin is active.** New compatibility mode detects Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, Slim SEO, Squirrly and SmartCrawl, steps aside from head output, and shows import / deactivate buttons. * **Fixed: `/sitemap.xml` led to a 404.** It, `/wp-sitemap.xml` and `/sitemap_index. xml` now 301 to the Impex sitemap. Noindexed post types, taxonomies and terms are left out of the sitemap, and a “latest posts” homepage is now listed. * **Fixed: auto-generated meta descriptions glued words together** across paragraphs and headings (“morning.Choosing beans”). * **Fixed: `%%category%%` and `%%date%%` were destroyed when saved** from the editor, bulk editor or importer (WordPress’s text sanitizer treated `%ca`/`%da` as encoded bytes). Unknown variables are now dropped instead of shown in search results, and Open Graph titles render their variables. * **Fixed: LocalBusiness opening hours and extra locations were saved but never output.** They now print as `openingHoursSpecification` and additional LocalBusiness nodes. The non-functional map shortcode option was removed. * **Fixed: “Serve llms.txt” and “Enable XML sitemaps” switches did nothing.** * **Fixed: PHP 8.1+ deprecation notices** on every front-end page (breadcrumb schema) and on the setup wizard screen. * **Fixed: uninstall left your AI provider API keys** and other options, tables and user meta behind. * Schema: Organization logo falls back to the theme logo or site icon (the logo`@ id` reference now resolves), Article image falls back to the first content image, authorless posts credit the publisher, BreadcrumbList is linked from WebPage with a per-page `@id`. * **New: llms-full.txt** with the full text of your pages and recent posts; llms. txt now includes descriptions and skips noindexed and password-protected content. * **New: AI crawler controls** — block GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google- Extended, CCBot and more from robots.txt, with what each crawler is for. * **New: AI search readiness (GEO) score** in the editor’s Analysis tab and on the dashboard, with the pages to improve first. * **New: importer upgrades** — Rank Math `%var%` variables converted, nofollow, cornerstone, primary category, category/tag SEO, redirects, and optional global settings (separator, templates, social profiles, verification codes). * **New: SEO title, description and noindex fields on category, tag and custom taxonomy screens.** * **New: onboarding** — the setup wizard opens once after activation (never on bulk, network or WP-CLI activation), the wizard can enable LocalBusiness, and the dashboard shows a setup checklist with progress. * The Pro banner now appears only after you have used One-Click Optimize, and no longer on the post editor. * A one-time, dismissible request for a review appears on the plugin’s own screens after 14 days and 10 posts with SEO data. * Tested up to WordPress 7.1. #### 1.6.3 * One-Click Optimize now has a free monthly allowance of 3 runs; Pro is unlimited. * New upgrade panel on the plugin’s own screens, dismissible. * Every other SEO feature is unchanged, free and unlimited. #### 1.6.2 * Fixed: “Fix” did nothing on images with an empty `alt=""`. * Fixed: “Fix” did nothing on an SEO title or meta description that already existed but was the wrong length. * Generated alt text now combines the post title with the focus keyword. * Generated meta descriptions lead with the focus keyword. * Content-level checks show a Fix button only when the Pro add-on can service it. * Fixed the URL-slug check in the classic editor and the keyword field width in the meta box. #### 1.6.1 * Fixed: the SERP preview and score appeared frozen in the block editor. * Reduced editor overhead. * Renamed the plugin’s filters to the correct prefix (old names still work). * Cleared remaining coding-standards notices. #### 1.6.0 * Fixed: the “Fix” buttons did nothing, and applied fixes could be undone by the next save. * New: “Fix” for the SEO title. * One scoring engine for the editor, post list and dashboard; weighted scoring; secondary keywords analysed; word-boundary keyword matching; non-Latin word counts. * New checks: internal links, external links, long paragraphs, lists/tables. Rebuilt meta box. * AI writer articles include key takeaways, a comparison table, an FAQ and a call to action. #### 1.5.0 * Renamed to Impex Rank SEO. The AI writer generates three articles per month on the free plugin; Autopilot moved to the Pro add-on. #### 1.4.2 * Removed unused featured-image scaffolding and inactive Video/News sitemap toggles; fixes to the setup wizard, Fix buttons, Open Graph alt text, sitemap 404s and table of contents. #### 1.4.1 * XML sitemap stylesheet is a static asset; documented external services. #### 1.4.0 * Per-issue Fix buttons in the SEO analysis; image alt and external-link checks; schema hardened against script-context breakout. #### 1.3.0 * Built-in AI Writer with your own API keys. #### 1.2.0 * Page Speed and one-click optimize. #### 1.1.0 * Branded XML sitemaps, HTML sitemap shortcode, AJAX admin, redesigned settings. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **1.7.0** * Last updated **1 day ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress Version ** 5.6 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.3** * PHP Version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/impexinfotechindia-seo-suite/) * Tags * [ai seo](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai-seo/)[indexnow](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/indexnow/) [llms.txt](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/llms-txt/)[schema](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/schema/) [seo](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/seo/) * [Advanced View](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/impexinfotechindia-seo-suite/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
