There is no single export button in TamRank, and that is worth knowing before you go looking for one. Import and export live next to the things they move: your migration and its rollback sit under Settings, your redirects export from the redirect manager, your 404s and your audit results export from their own screens. This page shows what can be moved, and where each one is.
In short
- Coming from Yoast or Rank Math? That is the migration wizard, under Settings → Import / Export.
- Redirects import and export as CSV, from TamRank → Redirects.
- 404 logs and audit results export as CSV from their own screens.
- There is no whole-settings backup file. Your settings live in the WordPress database and travel with a normal site backup.
Bringing your SEO data in from another plugin
This is the big one, and it is a wizard rather than a file. Go to TamRank → Settings → Import / Export and use Start Migration Wizard on the SEO Data Migration card.
It detects Yoast SEO and Rank Math, including when you have already deactivated them, because it reads the data left behind in your database. It brings across your per-page meta titles and descriptions, focus keywords, canonical URLs, social and Open Graph tags, robots settings, schema, and your redirects.
Two guarantees are worth repeating: nothing you have already set in TamRank is overwritten, and your original values are backed up as it runs, which is what makes the rollback possible. The full walkthrough is in Migrating from Yoast or Rank Math.
All in One SEO and other plugins are not migration sources. If you are on one of those, your per-page data has to be re-entered or moved another way.
Undoing a migration
On the same Settings → Import / Export screen, the Rollback Migration card puts every page back the way it was: original values restored, and fields that were empty to begin with emptied again. Any redirects the migration brought in are removed too.
The card only appears when there is something to roll back. One thing to be aware of: rollback is site-wide rather than scoped to your most recent run, so if you have migrated twice, rolling back undoes both.
Redirects, in and out as CSV
Redirects are the one thing you can genuinely import and export as a file, and they live in the redirect manager rather than here. Go to TamRank → Redirects and use the Import / Export button at the top right.
The format is one rule per line:
/old-url,https://example.com/new-url,301
Template downloads an example file to start from. Export CSV saves what you have, with the type, whether each rule is active, its hit count and when it was created. Select CSV then Import CSV brings a list in; the importer skips the header row, needs at least a source and a target on each line, and assumes 301 when the type is missing. Lines it cannot use are reported individually rather than failing the whole file.
This is the practical way to move redirects between sites, or to prepare a large batch in a spreadsheet instead of typing them one at a time.
Getting your other data out
Two more exports, each on its own screen:
- 404 log. TamRank → 404 Monitor has an Export CSV button that saves your missing URLs grouped and sorted by hit count. Worth doing before you clear the log, and useful for sending someone a list of the broken links they point at you.
- Audit results. The SEO audit exports its scores per page as CSV, which is the easy way to track progress over time or hand a list to whoever is writing the content.
What there is not
There is no “export all settings” file, and no settings JSON to import on another site. It is better to know that up front than to hunt for the button.
In practice this matters less than it sounds. Your TamRank settings live in the WordPress database like any other plugin’s, so a normal site backup or a staging-to-live sync carries them along. What genuinely needs moving between unrelated sites is your redirects, and those have their own CSV.
Tip: export before you clear anything
The two destructive buttons in TamRank are Clear Log on the 404 monitor and Rollback Migration. Both are safe and both do exactly what they say, but neither can be undone.
Take the CSV first. It costs one click, and a 404 export in particular is worth keeping: it is the record of which URLs used to matter, which is exactly what you want the next time you restructure and wonder whether a path was ever used.
Troubleshooting
I cannot find the Import / Export screen. It is a tab under TamRank → Settings, not a top-level menu item.
The Rollback Migration card is not there. It only appears when a migration has actually run and left a backup to restore.
My CSV import reported skipped lines. A line is skipped when it duplicates a redirect you already have, or when it cannot be read. The message names the line, so you can fix and re-import just those.
My redirects did not come across from Yoast. Yoast’s free version has no redirects to move. Redirect migration covers Yoast Premium and Rank Math.
I want to move settings to another site. There is no settings file. Use a site backup or a staging sync, and move your redirects with the CSV.
Frequently asked questions
Which plugins can TamRank import from?
Yoast SEO and Rank Math.
Can I export all my TamRank settings?
No. Redirects, 404 logs and audit results export individually; there is no settings file.
Can I import redirects from a spreadsheet?
Yes, as CSV, from TamRank → Redirects.
Is the migration reversible?
Yes, through Rollback Migration under Settings → Import / Export.
Does importing overwrite what I have already set?
No. If a field already has a value in TamRank, that item is skipped for that page.
