Everything you wanted to ask.
Installation, rankingCoach AI inside wp-admin, privacy, theme and page-builder compatibility, pricing.
How do I install the Beyond SEO plugin?+
In wp-admin go to Plugins → Add New, search for "Beyond SEO", click Install and then Activate. Connect your free rankingCoach account when the welcome screen appears — rankingCoach AI runs its first scan within a minute. You can also upload the .zip from WordPress.org manually if your host blocks the plugin directory.
Do I need the plugin to use rankingCoach with WordPress?+
No. rankingCoach works with any WordPress site (and any other CMS) without a plugin — just connect your URL on signup. The plugin is optional and adds native wp-admin actions: one-click meta/schema fixes, internal-link suggestions applied directly to posts, and a rankingCoach AI inbox right inside your dashboard.
What does rankingCoach AI do inside wp-admin?+
rankingCoach AI surfaces a daily action list next to your posts: missing titles, weak meta descriptions, broken internal links, schema gaps, slow images and content opportunities. Each item has an Apply button — review the suggested change and approve it with one click. Nothing is published without your confirmation.
Is it compatible with my theme and page builder?+
Yes. Beyond SEO is tested with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Bricks, Oxygen, Breakdance, Gutenberg/FSE and the most popular themes (Astra, GeneratePress, Kadence, Blocksy, Hello, OceanWP, Avada). It writes to standard WordPress fields, so your builder and theme keep full control of the layout.
Does it conflict with Yoast, Rank Math or All in One SEO?+
No. Beyond SEO detects an existing SEO plugin and switches to a non-conflicting mode — it reads your current titles/meta/schema and only suggests improvements instead of overwriting. You can keep Yoast or Rank Math active and use Beyond SEO for local, reviews, social and AI-powered actions on top.
What about privacy and GDPR?+
We're a German company (Cologne) and fully GDPR-compliant. The plugin only sends the data rankingCoach AI needs to analyse your site — public page content, your Google Business Profile (if connected) and aggregated performance metrics. No visitor personal data is collected, no tracking scripts are injected. A signed DPA is available on request.
Will it slow down my site?+
No. The plugin runs its scans server-side on rankingCoach infrastructure, not in your visitors' browsers. It loads zero front-end scripts and adds no render-blocking assets. In fact, rankingCoach AI usually improves Core Web Vitals by flagging oversized images and unused scripts.
Does it work with WooCommerce and multilingual sites?+
Yes. WooCommerce product pages, categories and shop schema are fully supported. WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress are detected automatically — rankingCoach AI analyses each language version separately and gives per-locale recommendations.
How much does it cost?+
The plugin and a rankingCoach account are free forever — including the rankingCoach AI scan, action plan and ongoing monitoring. When you're ready to let rankingCoach AI execute work for you (publish optimisations, reply to reviews, run ads, post to social), you can hire rankingCoach AI from a small monthly fee with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I uninstall cleanly?+
Yes. Deactivating the plugin stops all communication with rankingCoach. Deleting it removes all plugin data from your WordPress database. Your rankingCoach account stays intact and you can keep using the web app, or delete the account from your account settings.

Try it free — uninstall in one click if it isn't a fit.
