About this plugin
ai ), a subscription service that audits your site, plans a keyword strategy, and applies on-page SEO fixes for you.
Once installed and connected, the plugin lets the Pinnacles platform read and write your on-page SEO data through a dedicated, capability-gated REST API namespace ( pinnacles/v1 ) rather than touching the database directly. It is compatible with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO — it writes to whichever of those is active — and falls back to its own output when none is installed.
A Pinnacles account is required. This plugin performs no SEO work on its own; it is the connector that lets the Pinnacles service act on your site. See the External services section below for exactly what data is exchanged.
What it does
- Registers SEO title, meta-description, canonical, and robots meta fields for REST access across Yoast, Rank Math, and All in One SEO.
- Writes SEO title/description for taxonomy-term archive pages (e.g. category or custom-taxonomy archives) across the same three SEO plugins.
- Injects JSON-LD structured data (Article, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, etc.), integrating with your active SEO plugin’s schema graph so nothing is duplicated.
- Manages custom robots.txt rules.
- Excludes selected URLs from the XML sitemap (core sitemaps plus Yoast / Rank Math / All in One SEO).
- Adds preconnect resource hints for third-party origins.
- Creates and updates pages and navigation-menu items as part of the Pinnacles content strategy.
- Exposes a read-only status endpoint used for connection diagnostics.
Security
Every REST endpoint requires a dedicated pinnacles_manage_seo capability, granted only to an Editor-or-above user you designate, and each endpoint additionally enforces the matching WordPress object-level permission: post endpoints require edit_post / read_post on the target, taxonomy-term endpoints require edit_term, and navigation-menu endpoints require edit_theme_options. The diagnostics endpoint is authenticated (no anonymous access). txt inputs are validated against injection and size limits.
External services
ai), which is required for the plugin to function.
After you add your site from the Pinnacles dashboard, Pinnacles’ servers authenticate to your site using a WordPress Application Password that you create, and call this plugin’s pinnacles/v1 REST endpoints to read and write:
- SEO metadata (titles, meta descriptions, canonicals, robots directives);
- page and post content that Pinnacles creates or refreshes for you;
- navigation-menu items, robots.txt rules, JSON-LD schema, and sitemap exclusions;
- environment diagnostics (plugin version, active SEO plugin, WordPress/PHP versions) used to set up and health-check the connection.
The content and SEO settings you manage through Pinnacles are therefore transmitted to and stored by Pinnacles. The plugin itself does not initiate outbound connections — it only responds to authenticated requests from the Pinnacles platform.
