Ranki Publisher
·
Connects your WordPress site to Ranki for automated AI SEO content publishing — posts, images, and SEO metadata, hands-free.
Ranki Publisher is the WordPress bridge for the Ranki AI SEO platform. Once installed, Ranki can automatically publish SEO-optimised blog posts to your WordPress site — including the featured image, focus keyword, meta title, meta description, and schema JSON-LD markup — without any manual work.
How it works
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Go to Settings → Ranki Publisher and copy your Site URL and Secret Key.
- Paste them into your Ranki admin panel.
- Ranki will start publishing content to your site automatically.
Key features
- Pull-queue cron — WordPress polls Ranki every 5 minutes for pending jobs. All connections are outbound from your server, which bypasses hosting firewalls that block inbound REST API calls (SiteGround, Cloudflare, etc.).
- REST API endpoint — for hosts that allow inbound REST calls, Ranki can push content directly via
/wp-json/ranki/v1/publish. - Featured image upload — images are uploaded to your media library and set as the post featured image automatically.
- SEO plugin support — writes focus keyword, meta title, and meta description for both Rank Math and Yoast SEO.
- Smart category assignment — matches or creates a post category based on the focus keyword.
- Schema JSON-LD — injects structured data markup into
<head>for posts that include it.
Requirements
- A Ranki account (the plugin alone does nothing without one).
- WordPress 5.6 or higher.
- PHP 7.4 or higher.
Third-Party Services
This plugin communicates with the Ranki backend service to function. Specifically:
- Polling for jobs — every 5 minutes, the plugin calls
https://ranki-backend-production.up.railway.app/wp-sync/pollto check for pending content publishing jobs. The request includes your site’s secret key in a header (never in the URL). - Reporting job results — after processing each job, the plugin calls
https://ranki-backend-production.up.railway.app/wp-sync/doneto report success or failure, including the published post ID and URL.
Data transmitted: your site’s secret key (as an authentication header), the result of each publishing job (post ID, post URL, error message if applicable). No personal user data is transmitted.
