1 Install the Rank Math SEO Plugin
Content AI is included in the Rank Math SEO plugin, so the first step is to install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site.
From your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New, search for “Rank Math SEO,” click Install Now, then click Activate.
Once activated, Rank Math SEO will appear in your WordPress admin menu.
2 Connect Your Rank Math Account
When you install Rank Math for the first time, you may be taken through a Setup Wizard. While the Setup Wizard helps you configure your SEO settings, it’s not required to use Content AI.
If you prefer to skip it for now, click Return to dashboard at the bottom of the screen. You can always complete the Setup Wizard later.
To access the dashboard manually, go to Rank Math SEO → Dashboard.
Before using Content AI, you’ll need to connect your website to a Rank Math account. From the dashboard, go to the Help tab and click Connect Now.
Next, log in to your Rank Math account and click OK, ACTIVATE NOW to enable the connection.
3 Enable the Content AI Module
After connecting your account, the next step is to enable Content AI.
Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → Modules, locate the Content AI module, and toggle it on, as shown below.
4 Start Using Content AI
With the module active, you can start using Content AI to generate suggestions, structure your content, and optimize it for SEO.
If you’re using the free version of Rank Math, you’ll receive 750 Content AI credits per month. These credits are used every time you generate AI suggestions. If you run out, you can upgrade to a Content AI plan that fits your needs.
To access Content AI tools, head over to Rank Math SEO → Content AI from your dashboard.
You can also use Content AI directly within the WordPress post or page editor. Simply open a post or page, and you’ll find the Content AI meta box at the top-right corner of the screen.
It also integrates seamlessly with popular page builders like Elementor and Divi, making it easy to use regardless of how you build your content.
