For WordPress Sites

SEO for WordPress Sites

Research keywords, audit your site, and publish AI-drafted articles straight to WordPress — without leaving Illumae or copy-pasting into the block editor.

WordPress powers a huge share of the web, which also means WordPress sites are competing in a crowded field for the same searches. Illumae connects directly to your WordPress site over the REST API — so keyword research, technical audits, and AI-drafted articles all lead to content that actually gets published, not just written. From £40/month per domain, or free to start.

Publish Drafts Straight to Your WordPress Site

Most AI content tools stop at a Google Doc or a copy-paste box. AI content generation drafts full articles from a target keyword, and — once you connect your site's REST API credentials in Integrations — Illumae can publish that draft directly to WordPress, including the featured image and, where Yoast or Rank Math is installed, the SEO title and meta description fields those plugins read from. Every draft runs through a fact-consistency audit before publishing, checking for internal contradictions and unhedged claims about specific figures.

Find the Keywords Worth Writing About

keyword research and rank tracking gives you real search volume and difficulty data for any keyword, then tracks your organic Google ranking for the ones you target — so you're publishing to WordPress with evidence behind the topic, not a guess.

Audit the Technical Side WordPress Plugins Often Miss

A theme update, a broken shortcode, or a plugin conflict can quietly break links or slow a page down without anyone noticing until traffic drops. site audit crawls your entire site and returns a health score with a prioritised, page-by-page fix list — flagging broken links, missing meta tags, slow-loading pages, and images without alt text.

Check Who's Linking to Your Site

backlink checker shows domain authority and spam-risk banding for every backlink pointing to your site. If you find links worth disavowing, Illumae generates a properly formatted Google disavow file — you submit it yourself through Search Console, since there's no API for a third-party tool to do that automatically.

How the WordPress Connection Actually Works

Illumae publishes to WordPress over its REST API using an application password and username you generate in your WordPress dashboard and enter in Illumae's Integrations screen. Once connected, a published Illumae article becomes a real WordPress post — not an export file you have to import by hand.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a WordPress plugin installed to use Illumae?+

No plugin required on the WordPress side. Illumae connects using the WordPress REST API, which is built into WordPress itself — you just need an application password (generated from your WordPress user profile) and your username entered in Illumae's Integrations screen.

Does Illumae work with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?+

Yes — when either plugin is installed, Illumae writes the SEO title and meta description into that plugin's own fields, so they show up correctly in your existing SEO plugin rather than sitting only on the raw WordPress post.

What happens if the WordPress connection fails partway through publishing?+

Illumae reports the specific error rather than silently failing or leaving a half-published post — for example, an invalid application password returns a clear authentication error so you know exactly what to fix in Integrations.

Does the AI content tool know accurate facts about my industry?+

Not on its own. Illumae's AI content generation runs every draft through a fact-consistency audit that checks for internal contradictions and unhedged claims about specific figures, but it does not independently verify domain-specific accuracy — a review before publishing is still worthwhile, especially for anything regulated or technical.
