What access RankAI needs

RankAI only asks for what it needs to publish articles and read your search data. Use this page to answer a security or IT review, or to pick the right user and permissions before you connect.

Good to know: give RankAI its own user or token where your platform allows it. You can remove that access later without affecting anyone else.

In RankAI: Settings → Integrations · rankai.ai/dashboard/<project>/settings/integrations

Google Search Console


Access	You sign in with Google and allow RankAI to use Search Console for your site. RankAI works with Domain properties and URL-prefix properties.
What RankAI does	Reads your search performance (clicks, impressions, positions and queries), lists your sitemaps, and checks whether pages are indexed. It submits a sitemap only when you click Submit to Google Search Console.
What it doesn’t do	It doesn’t add or remove Search Console properties, users or sitemaps.
Remove access	In your Google Account security settings, remove RankAI from the third-party apps that have access to your account.

See Connect Google Search Console.

Your CMS

RankAI uses your CMS access to create, update and unpublish the articles it writes. It only changes posts it created itself.

CMS	What you give RankAI	Minimum permission	What RankAI does
WordPress	Site URL, username and an application password	A user with the Author, Editor or Administrator role	Creates and updates posts, uploads each article’s featured image, sets SEO fields, lists categories (and creates one when you ask), and deletes a post when you unpublish it.
Webflow	A site API token	CMS: Read and write; Pages and Site: Read-only	Reads your site and collections, publishes collection items, and removes an item when you unpublish it.
Shopify	App Client ID and Client secret	The content and theme scopes listed in the setup guide	Reads your shop and blogs, creates a blog when you ask, publishes and updates articles with SEO fields, and deletes an article when you unpublish it.
Wix	An API key	Wix Blog	Lists your sites and blog members (to pick an author), imports article images into your media, publishes and updates posts, and deletes a post when you unpublish it.
Sanity	Project ID, dataset and an API token	Developer or Editor	Creates and updates blog post documents, uploads images, and deletes a document when you unpublish it.
Framer	Nothing: you install the RankAI plugin	None	RankAI doesn’t connect to Framer. The plugin pulls your published articles when you sync.
Squarespace	Your Squarespace dashboard URL	None	RankAI prepares an export file; you import it into Squarespace yourself.
Built with code	Nothing	None	Your website fetches published articles from the RankAI articles API.

RankAI never shows a saved password, token or secret back to you after you save it.

Technical SEO & AEO script

The script is one line you add to your site. On each page, it asks RankAI which fixes are enabled for that page and applies them in the visitor’s browser: titles, meta descriptions, canonical links, social sharing tags, image alt text, headings, structured data and internal links. Disabled fixes leave the page as it was. The script sends RankAI only the address of the page being viewed, including any query string. It doesn’t send cookies or store anything in the visitor’s browser. Fixes stop when the project has no active trial or plan.

Remove access

RankAI doesn’t have a disconnect button for CMS logins, so remove access on your platform:

WordPress: delete the application password in Users → Profile.
Webflow: delete the API token in your site settings.
Shopify: uninstall or delete the app you created for RankAI.
Wix: delete the API key.
Sanity: delete the API token in your Sanity project.
Framer: remove the plugin.
Script: remove the script line from your site.

Removing access stops publishing. Articles already on your site stay there. Need this for a security review, or something isn’t listed? Contact support.
