RankMath SEO System

Status: Active (core infrastructure) Project: SEO · Website

What this is

RankMath SEO Business is the firm's primary SEO plugin for WordPress. It owns: - XML sitemap generation - Canonical URLs - Meta titles, descriptions, and robots directives - Schema markup (partial — SA Template owns the bulk) - Redirections module (some 301s) - Focus keyword tracking

Most of the firm's SEO work touches RankMath in some way, either via its settings UI or its REST API endpoint.

Notable quirks

  • objectType must be "post" even for pages when writing via the REST API. A RankMath quirk that trips up API-driven deploys.
  • Self-redirects can happen when canonical settings disagree with trailing-slash behavior (see Redirect Management)
  • FAQ block rendering had issues that required a sitewide fix (see WPCode Premium Migration & Snippet Management)

Sessions that touched RankMath deeply

  • Eastern KY Page 45083 Rewrite + RankMath Batch Audit + wpautop Bug Fix (March 30) — included a batch RankMath audit across many pages
  • RankMath FAQ Block Sitewide Rendering Fix (April 9) — sitewide render fix for the RankMath FAQ block
