WordPress Integration
Connect your WordPress site to GetRanked and automatically publish SEO-optimized blog posts that rank on Google.
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet, making it the most popular content management system in the world. But having a WordPress site alone isn't enough — you need consistent, high-quality content to rank on Google and drive organic traffic.
GetRanked connects directly to your WordPress site via the REST API and publishes fully optimized articles automatically. Every article includes proper headings, meta descriptions, internal links to your existing content, and schema markup — all designed to help your WordPress site climb search rankings.
Whether you run a business blog, an affiliate site, or an e-commerce store with a blog section, GetRanked's WordPress integration turns your site into an SEO content machine that publishes daily without manual intervention.
What you'll need
WordPress Site URL
Your full WordPress site URL (e.g., https://yourdomain.com)
WordPress Username
An admin or editor username with publishing permissions
Application Password
A WordPress Application Password (not your login password)
Step-by-step setup guide
Log in to WordPress Admin
Go to your WordPress dashboard at yourdomain.com/wp-admin and log in with an admin account.
Navigate to User Profile
Click on 'Users' in the sidebar, then click on your username (or the account you want GetRanked to use).
Scroll to Application Passwords
Scroll down to the 'Application Passwords' section. If you don't see it, make sure you're running WordPress 5.6+ and your site uses HTTPS.
Create a new Application Password
Enter 'GetRanked' as the application name and click 'Add New Application Password'. WordPress will generate a password — copy it immediately, as it won't be shown again.
Enter credentials in GetRanked
In your GetRanked dashboard, go to Integrations → WordPress. Enter your site URL, username, and the Application Password you just created.
Test the connection
Click 'Test Connection' to verify GetRanked can reach your WordPress REST API. If successful, you're ready to start publishing.
What GetRanked publishes to WordPress
- Blog posts with proper title, content, excerpt, and slug
- Featured images (when available)
- Categories and tags based on your topical map
- Meta descriptions via Yoast SEO or RankMath (if installed)
- Internal links to your existing published articles
- Schema markup for Article structured data
Tips for best results
Make sure your WordPress site uses HTTPS — Application Passwords require it.
Install Yoast SEO or RankMath for enhanced meta description support.
Create a dedicated WordPress user for GetRanked with the 'Editor' role for security.
Ensure the REST API is not blocked by a security plugin (like Wordfence or iThemes).
