Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ThinkRank SEO – AI SEO Plugin for SEO & Google Search Console
ThinkRank is an AI SEO plugin for WordPress that helps manage metadata, on-page SEO, technical SEO, schema markup, XML sitemaps, robots meta, canonical URLs, Open Graph social meta, Google Search Console insights, llms.txt, and AI-powered SEO recommendations. It also includes a built-in MCP server so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can help run SEO tasks in plain language.
The ThinkRank MCP server is a built-in Model Context Protocol server that lets compatible AI assistants connect to your WordPress site and work with ThinkRank's SEO tools. After authorization, your AI assistant can help generate metadata, review SEO opportunities, work with schema, manage llms.txt, inspect SEO scores, and guide optimization workflows - without constant dashboard switching.
Enable the MCP server in ThinkRank, copy your site's MCP URL, add it to Claude, and approve the connection through the guided authorization flow. ThinkRank uses an OAuth 2.1 flow with PKCE protection, so you don't need to manually copy API keys into Claude for the standard connection.
Yes. ThinkRank is designed for MCP-compatible clients. Claude has a guided one-click-style setup, and ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible tools connect with a connection token and the ready-made configuration details ThinkRank provides.
Yes. The MCP server is off by default and only an administrator can turn it on. Every connection is approved by an administrator, gets Read or Read & Write access per area (Content, Settings, Indexing, Analytics), and uses tokens that expire and are only accepted in the request header. Every change an assistant makes is recorded in the MCP Activity log with the value it replaced, so you can see who changed what and revert it in one click. You can narrow or revoke any connection under Connected AI apps.
ThinkRank Hub (hub.thinkrank.ai) is an optional service for people who look after several sites. Connect a site from ThinkRank > AI Tools > ThinkRank Hub, or from the Setup Wizard, and approve it on your own site the way you approve any AI app, choosing Read or Read & Write per area. The Hub then shows every connected site's SEO reports in one view and lets one AI connection work across all of them. No license key, AI key or Google token is shared, the Hub never stores your posts' content, and Disconnect ends its access at any time. Every ThinkRank feature works without it.
Yes. The Setup Wizard configures the essentials and imports from your previous SEO plugin, and a Basic / Advanced switch in the Essential SEO header lets each user keep the menu to the sections a site owner needs day to day. Switching changes no settings, and every screen still opens when you need it.
Yes. ThinkRank adds a native SEO panel inside the Elementor editor, the Divi Visual Builder, and the Oxygen/Breakdance builder, alongside the Gutenberg launcher and the Classic Editor metabox. Just as importantly, ThinkRank reads the content those builders store outside post_content, so SEO scoring, bulk optimization, the post-list SEO column, and AI assistants analyze the real page content instead of reporting a builder page as empty.
Yes. ThinkRank detects WPML and Polylang automatically. SEO fields appear in the WPML Translation Editor, each translated page advertises its own og:locale and links to its alternates, XML sitemaps cover every language, and hreflang tags are only added when your multilingual plugin isn't already printing them - so you don't end up with two competing sets. On monolingual sites the integration stays completely inactive.
The Site SEO Analyzer is a crawl-free, whole-site audit that gives your site a 0–100 score and a letter grade without requiring a Google connection. It runs checks across Basic SEO, Advanced SEO, Content, Performance & Technical, Security, and AI Search (GEO), and shows per-category results with "how to fix" guidance that deep-links to the relevant setting. Common problems, such as a missing sitemap, schema that is switched off, or images without alt text, can be fixed in one click.
