Description

RankHive – AI SEO Agent connects a WordPress site to RankHive. RankHive provides Agentic SEO: AI-recommended SEO changes are applied to WordPress only after your approval in the RankHive app.

This is an early access release. A RankHive account is required for AI analysis, approvals, reporting, scheduling, and WordPress writes.

The plugin handles:

  • secure site connection and credential storage
  • authenticated REST bridge for reads and guarded writes
  • plugin-owned schema rendering
  • plugin-owned redirects and optional robots management
  • outbound webhook delivery for site events
  • operational dashboard, activity feed, and connection diagnostics

RankHive handles:

  • AI analysis and recommendations
  • approvals and change history
  • reporting, billing, scheduling, and user management
  • Google integrations

The plugin transmits site content and metadata to RankHive only after an administrator connects the site.

Privacy

RankHive – AI SEO Agent does not transmit site data until the administrator connects the plugin to RankHive. Once connected, the plugin may send site URLs, site metadata, active theme and plugin metadata, WordPress/PHP/plugin versions, post and page titles, slugs, URLs, excerpts, content, content hashes, SEO metadata, schema, taxonomies, featured image and media metadata, author display name and ID, headings, image references, internal links, plugin-managed redirects, robots data, webhook event metadata, diagnostics, and approved write results.

Connected reads can include published, draft, pending, private, and other requested post statuses when the RankHive workflow asks for them. RankHive uses this data only to provide the customer’s SEO service. RankHive stores data while the user is a customer, and users can delete site data from the RankHive dashboard.

The plugin stores connection settings, operational logs, and optional render toggles locally in the WordPress database.

External service

This plugin connects to RankHive, a third-party SaaS operated by 1729 Labs.

Does this plugin work without a RankHive account?

No. The plugin requires a connected RankHive account for the main product features. Before connection, the plugin only provides the local connection screens needed to start the setup flow.

What data is sent to RankHive?

RankHive may receive connection metadata, site metadata, content, SEO metadata, media metadata, author display names and IDs, redirects, robots data, webhook event metadata, diagnostics, and approved write results needed to provide the connected SEO service.

Can RankHive change my WordPress site?

Yes, but WordPress changes are applied only after you approve the proposed change in RankHive. Approved changes can update SEO metadata, content, schema, image alt text, draft posts, post status, redirects, robots.txt, and supported revert operations.

Does the plugin render schema or robots output?

Yes. JSON-LD schema can be rendered from plugin-owned metadata, and robots output can be enabled from the settings screen when the site needs plugin-owned robots handling.

0.1.3

  • Fix outbound webhook delivery returning 401: the webhook signer now sends the API key id instead of the site id in the X-SEOAgent-Key-Id header, matching the signature used for all other authenticated requests.

0.1.2

  • Schedule posts natively in WordPress with optional publish_at (future status + post dates).
  • Fix status-only updates so publish/draft changes apply when publish_at is omitted.
  • Reset post dates when leaving a scheduled (future) post so drafts do not keep a future stamp.
  • Fall back to the first administrator as post author for HMAC API writes with no logged-in user.

0.1.1

  • Added authentication to the posts and robots read REST endpoints.
  • Added connection-callback state validation to prevent CSRF-style state changes on the admin screen.
  • Prefixed the activation transient to avoid naming collisions.
  • Updated the Author and Plugin URI to the RankHive site.

0.1.0

  • Initial early access release.
