Rank Math is a WordPress SEO plugin that manages on-page metadata, sitemaps, canonicals, redirects and structured data from inside the WordPress admin. It is a search-optimisation plugin, not an AI writing platform and not a performance plugin.
Who makes Rank Math
Rank Math is developed by Rank Math (One.com-independent, India-headquartered) and distributed free on WordPress.org, with paid PRO, Business and Agency tiers sold as annual subscriptions from the vendor's site. Content AI is sold separately.

What it actually does
Documented capabilities include a setup wizard, focus-keyword on-page scoring, XML sitemaps, redirections and 404 monitoring, a schema generator, role management, and Google Search Console and Analytics 4 reporting in the admin. Paid tiers add keyword rank tracking at scale, custom JSON-LD schema with validation, WooCommerce, Google News and video sitemaps, advanced image SEO and redirections, multi-location local SEO, and client-site licensing.
