Pay-per-use checks with Zinn® credits: rankings, Google's index, whether AI answers mention you, backlinks, a full site audit, keywords, competitors, local rankings and brand mentions.

  1. Open Rankings and checks — In WordPress, open SEO in the menu, then Rankings and checks under Insights and rankings in the plugin's side menu. Pay-per-use checks with Zinn® credits: rankings, Google's index, whether AI answers mention you, backlinks, a full site audit, keywords, competitors, local rankings and brand mentions.
  2. The Rankings tab — Open the Rankings tab. Track where your pages rank in Google for the phrases you choose, on the schedule you choose.
  3. The Google index tab — Open the Google index tab. Check which of your pages Google has indexed, page by page or the whole site.
  4. The AI answers tab — Open the AI answers tab. See whether ChatGPT and other AI answers mention you for the questions you choose.
  5. The Backlinks tab — Open the Backlinks tab. Watch your backlinks: new and lost links, and a disavow file for the bad ones.
  6. The Site audit tab — Open the Site audit tab. Run a full-site audit; every problem it finds also appears in Fix it.
  7. The Keywords tab — Open the Keywords tab. Find the phrases worth writing for, with search volume and difficulty, in each country you sell to.
  8. The Competitors tab — Open the Competitors tab. See what a competitor ranks for that you do not, and start the page that closes the gap.
