About RankMath
Rank Math wires its SEO plugin into AI assistants and repackages Content AI usage.
Rank Math is on a steady bi-weekly release cadence that has turned decisively toward AI. The last month introduced Rank Math MCP Tools so assistants can analyze a site's SEO, then expanded them with link-report and post-link tools, and launched a Marketplace for one-click access to performance and marketing tools. Underneath, Content AI shifted from a credit system to feature-based monthly limits, alongside routine fixes to Link Genius, sitemaps, and analytics.
