WordPress SEO plugin for optimizing content, schema, and search rankings

rankmath.com ↗

Rank Math is wiring WordPress SEO data into AI assistants, then measuring the AI platforms back.

◆Current state
Rank Math's 3.0.11x line has two threads running at once. One exposes site SEO data to AI assistants through a growing set of MCP tools — link reports, post links, schema, keyword position trends. The other, AI Visibility, points the other way: monitoring how a brand appears across major AI platforms. Between those, releases are ordinary WordPress plugin maintenance on Link Genius, Schema, and email reports.
◆Where it's heading
The MCP tools have arrived on a steady drip since 3.0.114 and are getting more opinionated — the newest returns not just keyword positions but whether each is winning, losing, or stable, which is analysis rather than raw data. Paired with AI Visibility, Rank Math is treating AI assistants as both a client that reads your SEO data and a surface where your ranking now matters. The last two releases were pure bug fixes, so the feature push has paused rather than ended.
◆Prediction
Expect AI Visibility to gain its own MCP tool so an assistant can query brand presence directly, closing the loop between the two threads.

    Fixes for News Sitemap, Schema Templates, and Link Genius

    Three bug fixes: a blank News Sitemap settings page caused by a JavaScript error, Schema Template display conditions that required a manual save to apply, and a Composer autoload casing mismatch that could break Link Genius on case-sensitive filesystems. Maintenance on features shipped earlier in the line.

    Email report table and Link Genius tooltip fixes

    MCP keyword tool now returns position trends

    The get-top-keywords MCP tool now annotates tracked keywords as winning, losing, or stable, so an assistant gets direction rather than a bare position number. Schema and Link Genius fixes ship alongside, including a fatal error importing JSON-LD with multiple @type values.

    AI Visibility tracks brand presence across AI platforms

    ⚡ SPARK

    AI Visibility turns Rank Math from a tool that optimizes for search engines into one that measures presence on AI platforms — the inverse of the MCP work, which feeds site data outward to assistants. The release is otherwise routine fixes, but this addition sets the direction for the line.

    Three new MCP tools: link report, post links, post schema

    Adds MCP tools letting AI assistants pull site-wide link statistics, per-post internal and external links, and all schema markup attached to a post including PRO-only types. This is the build-out phase of the tool surface introduced in 3.0.114.

    Rank Math MCP Tools and Marketplace launch

    ⚡ SPARK

    The release that opened the MCP thread: AI assistants can analyze a site's SEO strategy against competitors through Rank Math directly, with a Marketplace shipped alongside. Every subsequent MCP tool in the line extends this surface.
