You came from WordPress. Let's check the site.
VectraSEO runs a 39-rule SEO and Answer Engine Optimization scan against your sitemap — finds the issues that hurt rankings in Google and the ones that stop ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews from citing you. No account required for the first scan.
The 39 checks every WordPress site should pass before it goes to ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews.
Crawlability, metadata, canonical tags, robots.txt, sitemap health, internal-link integrity, broken-link probing, hreflang correctness, image optimization, Core Web Vitals signals, structured-data validity, content quality, and accessibility — plus five dedicated Answer Engine Optimization rules covering schema markup, direct-answer blocks, llms.txt support, clean entity references, and FAQ extraction.
Every URL on your sitemap (up to 200 per scan) gets the full treatment. Scans run on a schedule. New critical issues trigger email alerts the moment they diff in.

VectraSEO covers content generation, autoblog scheduling, content-gap research, technical SEO audit, broken-link monitoring, schema validation, and Answer Engine Optimization in one platform — with a free tier and pricing published openly. Side-by-side breakdowns:
The plugin you just installed is intentionally minimal.
The VectraSEO WordPress plugin is a connector — it adds a settings page, exposes a local status endpoint, and prepares your site for the hosted platform via the standard WordPress REST API and an Application Password. It does not call VectraSEO automatically. It does not inject tracking. It does not add public-facing badges. Everything happens inside the VectraSEO project you connect.
That means the plugin is safe to leave installed even before you create an account — and removing it cleans up after itself.
Audit first. Sign up if you like what you see.
Every free scan returns a 0–100 health score, the failing rules with one-line explanations, and a comparison against the published benchmark for sites in your category.
