Rank Authority

Opis

Rank Authority is a secure WordPress plugin that enables seamless integration between your WordPress site and the Rank Authority Dashboard. It provides a REST API endpoint for publishing, updating, and deleting blog posts directly from your dashboard.

New in 1.0.14: Token reset functionality is now available to all administrators with manage_options capability, not just the plugin owner. This provides better flexibility for team environments where multiple administrators need to manage the connection token.

Key Features

  • Secure Token-Based Authentication: Uses Bearer token authentication for secure API access
  • Publish Posts: Create new blog posts directly from the Rank Authority Dashboard
  • Update Posts: Modify existing published posts with new content
  • Delete Posts: Remove posts from your WordPress site
  • SEO Script Injection: Automatically injects SEO tracking scripts into your site header
  • Owner Controls: Token owner can manage visibility and regenerate tokens
  • HTTPS Required: All API requests require HTTPS for security

How It Works

  1. Install and activate the plugin
  2. Navigate to WordPress Admin Rank Authority
  3. Copy your unique connection token
  4. Use the token in your Rank Authority Dashboard to connect your WordPress site
  5. Start publishing content directly from your dashboard!

Security Features

  • Bearer token authentication
  • HTTPS requirement for all API requests
  • Token regeneration capability
  • Owner-based access controls

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

How do I get my connection token?

After installing the plugin, navigate to WordPress Admin Rank Authority. Your unique token will be displayed on the settings page.

Is my site secure with this plugin?

Yes! The plugin uses Bearer token authentication and requires HTTPS for all API requests. Only users with the token can access the API endpoints.

Can I regenerate my token?

Yes, any administrator with manage_options capability can regenerate the token from the plugin settings page. This will invalidate the old token. Token reset is no longer restricted to the plugin owner only.

What happens if I disconnect?

When you disconnect from the Rank Authority Dashboard, the website_id will be removed and SEO scripts will stop being injected into your site.

Can multiple users connect to the same site?

The plugin supports site-level connection. The last user to connect will overwrite the previous website_id. For team collaboration, consider using a shared account.

I’ll be honest, I put off SEO for way too long. Between running my business and hearing horror stories about companies overpromising and underdelivering, it just never felt worth the stress. Rank Authority was the first company that actually made it feel simple and doable. What really stood out to me is that they don’t just focus on Google rankings, but also help you get found on AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity — something I hadn’t even thought about before. Getting started was easy, and I didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. Since using Rank Authority, I’ve noticed real improvements in visibility and traffic, and customers are finding us in places we weren’t showing up before. If you’re a business owner who’s been putting SEO off or got burned in the past, I’d genuinely recommend giving them a try.

I’m honestly blown away by what this SEO company has done for my business. I originally hired them to help me rank better on Google and that alone has been a huge win, but what really impressed me is how they also optimize for AI-based searches. That’s something most companies aren’t even thinking about yet. They’ve made my website stronger, more visible, and way more competitive online. I’ve seen improvements in traffic, ranking, and overall online presence, and they’ve been consistent, professional, and easy to work with the entire time. If you want real SEO results and you want your business to stay relevant in the AI era, I highly recommend them.

I own a laser cleaning business and I’ll be honest, I put off dealing with SEO for way too long. I knew we needed more visibility on Google but every time I looked into it, it felt overwhelming or I’d get burned by someone promising the world and delivering nothing. A friend sent me a link to Rank Authority one day. I clicked through, read what they had to say, and it just made sense. No hype, no confusing tech talk. So I figured why not give it a shot. What caught my attention is that it’s not just about ranking on Google. Their platform also helps you get found on AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity — which honestly I hadn’t even thought about until they explained it. That’s where a lot of people are searching now, so it made sense to cover all the bases. I’m actually seeing results. We’re showing up for searches we never ranked for before. Customers are finding us in places we didn’t even exist before. The best part is how easy it is. It’s basically a one-click solution. I connected my site, turned it on, and it does its thing. The platform has a ton of features — way more than I expected — but it’s laid out so simple that I actually use it without feeling lost. I’ve got a business to run and I don’t have time to learn algorithms and keywords. This just works. If you’re a small business owner like me who’s been putting this off or got burned before, just give them a shot.
