The free version is basically worthless

  • Basically all this plugin does is give you some generic advice that all the other plugins do, like use the keyword in the title, use it in headings, add pictures with the keyword. You get 2 or 3 free keyword look ups where you get some more detailed parameters to optimize for that particular keyword. Of course, my first post I tried to use it to compare a few keywords and used up all my free ones. Thought it would renew and it didn’t.

    The analytics is broken. I’ve never had it record a single person reading my site, but I know people are. Also I know it’s done some redirection stuff but then it says it hasn’t

    Also some of the advice for the keywords that you are technically paying for is really weird. Like you can’t have two H3 headings but you should have like 6 H2 headings? Trying to write to the analyzer was just weird, weird weird.

    Look, I don’t mind that the free version doesn’t seem to do anything, but why have a free version then? Sell it as shareware or something.

    Hello @walton,

    Thank you for your feedback, and sorry for the experience that you had with our plugin.

    The Free version comes with 5 free content AI credits. The free credits are provided to test the content AI and if you find it useful, you can purchase more credits to keep using it. Also, the content AI is not for comparing the keywords, the tool is designed to provide you suggestions based on the top-ranking pages for your main keyword. If you are seeing that you shouldn’t use H3 headings but should use 6 H2 headings, it means that the top-ranking pages for that keyword are doing the same thing. You can learn more about content AI here: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-use-content-ai/

    Our Analytics module fetches the performance data from your GSC account. Please make sure that you have properly connected your Google account and allowed all the required permissions. You can also follow this guide to fetch the data: https://rankmath.com/kb/delete-old-analytics-data/ manually
