Can you please add an option to skip the daily report summary when there are no rank changes? This would be helpful for users who refresh rankings every 2+ days, so they don’t receive “no changes” emails in between.
Hi There,
I have noted your suggestion in the plugin development suggestions list so it may be added to future versions of the plugin. Please note that there is no specific ETA (expected time of arrival) or guarantee that it will be implemented.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I want to buy this plugin, but I keep hearing that it doesn;t work yet. Befoire I buy it, can you please confirm that it works and ytou are getting the data in real time?
Yes, the plugin currently works and we already released an update recently that makes sure everything is working fine
Regards, Atef
Just bought it and it doesn;t work. No data available. See iamge https://prnt.sc/DHAQfzfBZRvz
? no answer yet? Your plugin doesn’t work.
Reports from your screenshot shows that you have added 3 keywords and all the three keywords are not in top 100 results which means there is nothing to expect to see here in the charts
We have a help desk setup for support. Please open a support ticket here and provide the following
1- admin login 2- specific keyword that you think is ranking but you are not getting a rank for
you can check the dashboard where you have added the keyword, it displays the keywords ranking
http://deandev.com/supportRegards, Atef
i just submitted a ticket. But in reality your plugin needs some work. It doesn’t work. I am using another tool such as H R E F S and I did pull one of the keywords and it gives the true ranking, versus yours, not even in the top 100. I tested multiple keywords and yours fail. The plugin looks nice, but it needs some work. Please issue a refund. Thank you.
The plugin is tested to work and your keyword reported on the support ticket is location dependant and I provided the correct config that you can use
I approved your refund request anyway
Regards, Atef
Works now with me, thank you very much!
You are welcome
I have the same problem like Rodro73. I did not whitelist any IPs at Brightdata, so all IPs should work.But the plugin keeps showing 0 results at all of my searches.
I have just released a new updated version 1.8.1 that should sort this issue, please upgrade to the latest version and let me know if you still have an issue

Great to hear there is a new version! I downloaded it and followed the instructions, but unfortunately no result. I tested the API and it seems that the API does send data when I whitelist my IP from home. When I do this inside of the plugin, it does not give any error, but replies with a 0 (while I am positive that the result is in the 100 search results). Could it be that my hosting has an IP6 address which can’t be added to the whitelist? I had this issue before when trying the same with proxies. I have good hope this will be running as normal soon, but at my end, it’s not working yet. Thanks for your effort to fix the issue!

Fantastic, it works!! If it’s possible in a future release, I would like it to work with dataforseo.com which I prefer. For now, very happy that it’s working again, THANKS!
You are welcome
I checked the suggested site and the live SERP cost is higher than the currently integrated method so I do not see a benefit
thanks for your suggestion anyway
Regards, Atef
Thanks for your reply, this method is fine then, great work!
VERSION 1.8.0 DOES NOT WORK – WORTHLESS!
The newest version is supposed to call the api from brightdata.com – but even if you setup an account at brightdata – and add funds – nothing will happen.
The results will remain 0
I figured maybe it only searches the first page, so a site:keyword was added. In Google it appears on spot one, but in rankie it’s ZERO.
brightdata was called https://i.imgur.com/VnPeMnI.png
- but results are null https://i.imgur.com/cPg5VaF.png
New update is tested to be working and is reported by plugin users as working

Unfortunately, after updating to version 1.7.9, the plugin stopped collecting any data on both sites where I used it. Do you plan to fix this, or is your plugin no longer useful?
Hi,
There were huge changes from Google’s side blocking the access
you can find more here https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-causes-global-seo-tool-outages/537604/
we are investigating the changes and trying to find a solution
We are currently working on integrating an external API because, due to technical reasons, it is now required to use a real JS supported browser for getting the results from Google which is something not possible with PHP only
Thanks for your understanding as this is not something that we have control over
Regards, Atef
Thanks for the info. I updated to version 1.8 but that didn’t change anything. The plugin still doesn’t work like it used to.
Hi,
Due to changes from Google, It is now much harder to scrape the search results. However, it is still possible to use a Real Browser with JavaScript Enabled which is something that is not possible using PHP (The Programming language used in WordPress) so we integrated an external SERP API that has this capability which is paid but still much cheaper than using any web service with rank checking capability.
So the plugin can now work normally if you add the integrated service API key and add credit to your account as explained on this tutorial https://valvepress.com/how-to-get-brightdata-api-token-required-by-wordpress-rankie-plugin/ You can find details of the changes from Google here https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-causes-global-seo-tool-outages/537604/Regards, Atef
DO NOT BUY THIS PLUGIN!!!! Dont waste your money owned it for years and its never worked for longer than a day then doesn’t work for months. Save yourself time and money and find a different solution. Such a shame!
WIsh I didnt have 4 licences now as all useless!

Hello,
I’m trying to activate it but it’s absolutely not working for me. I have edited multiple times the settings and added other methods, other domains and keywords but nothing.
Thank you.

Hello Question before purchasing.
1. Can it be use as SERP? For example, I have site www.mysite.com and a keyword “aaa bbb ccc”. If I search on google “aaa bbb ccc” I will see the position of “aaa bbb ccc” for my site www.mysite.com. Does Rankie do the same thing?
2. Do I need to pay Google API search? Or how is the serarch itself?
3. Do I need to have cronjob onb my server, or Rankie can work independent of cPanel/Cron?
Thank you
Hi,
The plugin job is SERP so it checks your sites and it works using a corn but currently the plugin is not functioning and is pending update

Regards, Atef
Thank you for reply. Can you tell me when is fixed, so I can purchase?
You still need to answer to 2 and 3
It is important to me.
Thank you
Unfortunately, There is no specific ETA
2- If used the custom search method, the plugin uses the official custom search API while this method is not accurate and may give different results than in real search so I do not recommend using it
3- the plugin can depend on the internal cron job without the need to setup an external cron job but it is better to have an external cron job because it is more reliable
if you are not able to setup a corn job, there are free online services like cron-job.org
Regards, Atef
Thank you. Is there a website or some email notification when the problem is solved? I don’t want to ask you every 2-3 days if it is solved so I can buy it.. Thank you
Currently, the latest released file is on 17 January 2025
when the new updated version gets released, this value should change

Hi So I purchased the plugin and still have support but all ranks showing 0

Rank Update no longer works after the software has been updated. It always says Rank 0.

Is there any news yet? We are starting to need the function again.
Updated to 1.79 and the plugin doesn´t work anymore:
Google Directly -> Google shows a Captcha ( like 1.78 )
So I ordered 10 Proxies ( InstantProxies )
Google Directly -> Google showed us a captcha ( for each of 10 Proxies )
All Ranks = 0
Google Custom Search API: Rank Update is not working – tries to update one keyword again and again and again … without success
This is really unfortunate because the plugin worked excellently for a long time!

Is it possible that this 1.7.9 also does not work?

Thanks for the update! Hope you can fix it!
This plugin is great! Are there any plans to update the plugin? For example:
1. Adding an estimated traffic volume for the keywords tracked.
2. Local Keywords tracking would be incredible.
3. Expanding the Dashboard, which could have more Overview stats, for example like, Keywords in Top positions, Average Rank vs Distribution, Keywords in Top 10, perhaps show competitors that share top positions for the keywords.
Perhaps adding Competitors section too. and improving the reports section. (Adding some of these features and even increasing price, I think more people would buy, as other SaaS services are very expensive.
Please let me know.
Even small things like improving the dashboard, by displaying, 1 day ,7 day, 30 day change for each tracked keyword (data already there )

It looks like the new 1.7.9 version also doesn’t work. The cookie doesn’t help. I’m still getting “no links found”

What’s the current version of your Rankie plugin?
Codecanyon download repo has v1.7.8 (10 September 2023)
But this page also says plugin was last updated 25 March 2024 ?
Thanks!
The latest version of the plugin is v1.7.8

Hello, It works. But what should I do if Google blocks my server?
Hi,
The plugin can use a private proxy to connect with to Google instead of using your server IP
you can find this option in the plugin settings page
Regards, Atef
I see Type = Manual in the Dashboard page. Does this column support for any function?
I plan to import my keywords by SQL and I want set Type = SQL. Is it still works as normaly.
Manual means the user added the keywords to the dashboard manually, you can not set it to something
Regards, Atef
This field is not effective regarding rank updates so if you will somehow modify it, no problem
Will Proxy work with port 3128? I plan to create my own proxy from a Linux server.
The server that the plugin is installed on must have this port already open for connection
If you are on a shared hosting, it may not be open by default and the hosting may not allow you to open it but if you are on a dedicated server, it may be possible so get in touch with your hosting support and check
Regards, Atef
Hello sir, is there any Shortcodes that I can use to manage ranks from front-end?
Hi,
The plugin does not have any shortcodes for display in the front-end
the plugin only show ranks and generate reports in the backend
