Homepage of paid funnel — high traffic weight
Yoast tells you a sentence is too long. Rank Math tells you to repeat your keyword. Useful sometimes, but not the diagnosis you actually need. Here's what TamRank looks at instead.
TamRank pulls six signals, meta gaps, broken links, suppressed CTR, indexing, content age, page speed, then weights each by your real GSC traffic. The top of the list is always where your effort moves the most needle.
Average position lies. Pos 8.5 can mean rock-steady page 1, or whiplash between #3 and #18. TamRank charts the daily reality and flags pages that go dark. The line literally breaks where you disappeared.
Most plugins log that a 404 happened. TamRank logs where it came from. A broken backlink from another site, a retired internal link, a social share to a renamed slug. You fix the actual source instead of guessing.
Every meta edit is logged with a score delta. Two weeks later TamRank checks Search Console: did your impressions move? Your clicks? You stop guessing whether the rewrite was worth it.
Yoast and Rank Math do plenty of things well. Here's what they don't do, and what I built TamRank to do instead.
| What you get | Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO | TamRank |
|---|---|---|
| Tells you which page to fix first | — | Traffic-weighted ranking |
| Detects suppressed click-through rate | — | Yes |
| Position stability vs flat average | — | Daily, with gap detection |
| Measures effect of your edits via GSC | — | 14 + 30 day delta |
| AI internal links with cluster context | Bulk anchor lists | Per-sentence options |
| Topical authority graph | — | D3 force-directed |
| Vague green-light SEO score | Yes | — |
| Upsells in the dashboard | Many | — |

I do SEO, for my own sites and for the sites I build for clients. I never planned to make a plugin. I just got tired of the tools. Rank Math kept asking me to reconnect Search Console. My inbox filled with notifications I never asked for. None of it felt good to use.
So I built my own. First just something that worked the way I wanted, on my own sites. It kept growing until it was clearly its own thing, so I pulled it out and made it a product in its own right: TamRank. Built by me, answering to nobody. Every release still runs on my own sites first, and on a handful of friends' sites, before it ships to you.
It's still just me, and that's the point. No marketing department forcing scary urgency banners into the dashboard. No board demanding I sell you upgrades you don't need. Just the tool I wished existed, available for free, with a Pro tier that pays the rent.

Yes. TamRank Free is a complete WordPress SEO plugin, launching on WordPress.org this August. No trial, no feature countdown, no upsell banners in your editor. TamRank PRO adds workflow automation and historical reporting for the SEO professionals who need it.
Get TamRank FreeNo. TamRank is built to be clean and readable for anyone who runs a WordPress site. Schema is detected automatically, settings are organised in plain language, and there is no 0-100 score or traffic-light system to decode. If you do write code, the REST API is there when you want it.
See the REST API docsTamRank focuses on showing you exactly what to fix, without upsell spam, gamified scores or branded widgets in your admin. Free covers the essentials cleanly. PRO goes where other plugins do not: an open API, change tracking and historical reporting. See the full breakdown on the comparison pages.
Yes. TamRank's Onboarding Wizard imports your existing meta titles, descriptions and key settings from Yoast or Rank Math, so your current SEO stays intact. The migration includes a rollback option, and you can keep both plugins active briefly to confirm everything carried over before deactivating the old one.
See the TamRank vs Yoast breakdownNo. TamRank is built to stay light. It has been tested on sites with hundreds of posts with no measurable slowdown, and the front-end overhead stays minimal. Features like WebP conversion and automatic IndexNow actually help your site's speed and indexing rather than weigh it down.
Your content is never touched. Deactivating TamRank leaves your posts, pages and meta data exactly as they are. Redirects you created stay in the database while the plugin is installed. A full uninstall only removes TamRank's own data, and only if you choose that option.
TamRank PRO is €99 per year per site. It renews automatically each year so your SEO tools never lapse, and you can cancel anytime from your account. Every site you run gets its own licence with its own renewal date, so you only pay for what you use.
See full pricingYes. TamRank keeps your schema markup accurate so AI search engines can read your site correctly, helps you structure content to be cited in AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity, and generates an llms.txt file for AI crawlers. SEO and AI visibility are increasingly the same job.
