# Introduction
> What Rankify does for search engines, and what it does for AI assistants.
Rankify is an SEO plugin that does the things you expect, and one thing most SEO plugins still do not.
The expected part: titles and meta descriptions, XML sitemaps, schema markup, Open Graph tags, redirects, breadcrumbs, and a robots.txt editor.
The other part is **answer engine optimization**. Search is no longer only a list of blue links. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews answer questions by reading pages and citing them, and being citable is a different problem from ranking.
## The two jobs
Titles, descriptions, sitemaps, schema, canonicals, redirects, and robots rules. The foundations, correct by default.
An llms.txt map, question-shaped markup, crawler access control, and measurement of which assistants actually read and cite you.
## What makes the AI side different
Most plugins stop at "we output schema, so AI can read you". Rankify treats it as something you can measure and act on.
An `/llms.txt` index of your important pages with short summaries. It costs nothing to serve and AI crawlers increasingly look for it.
Question-shaped headings become FAQPage markup with a concise answer summary, which is the format answer engines lift.
A log of AI crawler visits per URL, with each crawler's identity confirmed by reverse DNS or published IP ranges rather than trusting a user agent string.
A crawler reading a page proves it is reachable. A person arriving from a ChatGPT or Perplexity answer proves it was cited, which is the number worth optimizing against.
## How the plugin is organized
Rankify adds a top-level **Rankify** menu with three pages.
| Page | What it holds |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Overview | SEO health, content coverage, AI crawler activity, and a setup checklist |
| Redirects & Links | The redirect manager, the 404 log, and orphan pages |
| Settings | Eight tabs |
The settings tabs:
Title and description templates, breadcrumbs, site verification.
Per-type indexing, templates, and archive control.
XML sitemaps, robots.txt, and what goes in them.
JSON-LD structured data and site identity.
Redirect rules, the 404 monitor, internal link suggestions.
Open Graph, X cards, share images, profiles.
llms.txt, answer blocks, crawler access, IndexNow.
Email alerts, with thresholds so nothing spams you.
## Coming from another SEO plugin
You do not have to migrate. Rankify **reads** the titles, descriptions, canonicals, and social values that Yoast, Rank Math, SEO Press, or All in One SEO already stored, and uses them as a fallback. Nothing is copied, nothing is written, and the other plugin's data is never touched.
What is read, what wins, and what to do about the old plugin.
Do not run two SEO plugins at once. Both will output titles, descriptions, and social tags, search engines will see duplicates, and which one wins is unpredictable. Rankify warns you on the settings screen when it detects another.
Requirements, installation, and the setup wizard.
