TrueRanker is an SEO and AI-visibility suite: daily Google keyword rankings, local results, backlinks, site audits, competitor research, and how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and DeepSeek cite your brand.

This plugin is the WordPress interface to that suite. It is free and GPL-licensed. Rankings and reports live in your TrueRanker account at trueranker.com. Connect with an API key (or start from scratch in the plugin) and work from the WordPress admin. TrueRanker offers a 14-day trial with no credit card.

We ship regular plugin updates so more of the suite lands in WordPress over time. This 3.0.0 release is a full rewrite of the v2 plugin.

In this plugin (3.0.0)

Onboarding. Connect with your TrueRanker API key, or enter your email and TrueRanker sends the key to that address. If several projects match this site, pick one. If none match, create a project for the site domain.
Dashboard. KPIs and charts for Rank Tracker (average position, organic visibility, keyword count), AI Visibility (score, mentions, citations), and backlinks (referring domains, tracked links, domain rank). If SEO audits are enabled on the account, a score summary is shown too. Managing AI prompts, exploring backlinks, or running audits opens your TrueRanker account (signed in), not a separate WordPress screen.
Rank Tracker. Date range, summaries (average position, keyword distribution, AI Overviews), a sortable table (position, change, volume, CPC, Search Console metrics, Local Pack, URL, and more), keyword history and SERP snapshot, and add keywords by location and device (desktop, mobile, or both).
Settings. Active project and log out.
Language. English or Spanish, following the WordPress site language. Other locales fall back to English.
