This Rank Math Free tutorial gets the popular SEO plugin set up correctly and shows you how to optimize a post so search engines understand it. Rank Math helps Google make sense of your pages so the right people can find your site. In about thirteen minutes you'll go from a fresh install to a page that's properly optimized.

What you'll learn

Good on-page SEO is what stands between well-written content and content nobody finds. The free Rank Math WordPress plugin handles titles, meta descriptions, sitemaps and more from one dashboard, but only if it's configured cleanly, and running two SEO plugins at once sends search engines mixed signals. This course walks you through the setup wizard, explains which modules are worth turning on, and shows you how to read the on-page optimization score. Afterward you'll be able to set up Rank Math on any site and optimize posts and pages with confidence.

Inside the course

  • Installing Rank Math & the Setup Wizard

  • Optimizing a Post with Rank Math

Who this course is for

This is for beginners and site owners who want their content to rank but have never configured an SEO plugin. No coding or marketing background required. If you're migrating from another SEO plugin, the same steps apply. Prefer to read? Our free written tutorials and live training cover Rank Math too.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rank Math free?
Yes. Rank Math has a capable free version that covers what most sites need, and this course is free to watch with a free WP Tutoring account. There is a paid PRO tier, but the free plugin is the focus here.
Should I use Rank Math or Yoast?
Either can do the job, but you should only run one SEO plugin at a time, since two will send search engines conflicting signals. This tutorial uses Rank Math Free because its setup wizard and free feature set are generous for beginners.
Do I need an account to use Rank Math?
Connecting a Rank Math account is optional and this course skips it. You can install, configure and optimize your content without linking any outside login, though some advanced features do ask you to connect.
