Made in Bavaria, vibe-coded for Donau2Space.de — my own AI blog. This plugin scratches my own itch.

Blogger by night, developer by accident.

— Michael, Passau

There are plenty of SEO plugins for WordPress. Most of them cost a monthly fee. Some cost a lot.

Bavarian Rank Engine is free. Forever. The only cost: your AI API calls — billed directly by your provider. Typically less than any plugin subscription.

It won't get your site to #1 overnight. It's a tool. A good one. Built by a blogger, for bloggers — and anyone else who'd rather spend their money on coffee than SaaS fees.

What it does

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

◆

AI Meta Generator

Auto-writes a 150–160 character, SEO-optimized meta description the moment a post is published. Custom prompt with {title}, {content}, {excerpt}, {language} placeholders. Fallback extraction works without any API key.

◆

Bulk Generator

Batch-process your entire back-catalogue. Finds all published posts with no meta description and generates them in configurable batches. Live progress log. Running cost estimate. Rate-limited, retry logic, transient lock.

◆

Schema.org (GEO)

Injects JSON-LD structured data for AI and search engines — Organization, Article, Author, Speakable, BreadcrumbList. Auto-suppresses duplicates when Rank Math or Yoast is active.

◆

llms.txt

Serves a machine-readable content index at /llms.txt for AI systems. Follows the emerging llms.txt standard. ETag / Last-Modified HTTP caching, pagination for large sites, custom sections.

◆

robots.txt Manager

Block 13 known AI training and data-harvesting crawlers individually from the WordPress admin. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, Bytespider, and more. No manual file editing.

◆

Crawler Log

See which AI bots are visiting your site. Stores bot name, hashed IP (SHA-256, never plain text), and requested URL. 90-day auto-purge via WP-Cron. 30-day summary on the dashboard.

Your keys.
Your control.

API keys are obfuscated before database storage using XOR encryption with a key derived from your WordPress authentication salts. They never appear in plain text in database dumps or export files.

The admin UI always shows keys masked — only the last 5 characters visible.

For maximum security: define keys in wp-config.php. The plugin uses them automatically — nothing stored in the database at all.

// Stored format in DB
bre1:<base64(xor(key, sha256(AUTH_KEY + SALT)))>

// Admin UI — always masked

// wp-config.php alternative (recommended)
define('BRE_OPENAI_KEY',    'sk-...');
define('BRE_ANTHROPIC_KEY', 'sk-ant-...');
define('BRE_GEMINI_KEY',    'AI...');
define('BRE_GROK_KEY',      'xai-...');

Free. Forever.

The plugin costs nothing. No subscription, no premium tier, no license key. Download it, use it, keep it.

AI features use your own API key, billed directly by your provider. A single meta description costs roughly 1,500 tokens. With GPT-4o mini: ~$0.001 per post. Generate 1,000 meta descriptions for less than a dollar — less than most monthly plugin subscriptions.

“Why pay $100 a year for an SEO plugin when all I actually need is a clean meta description and control over my own prompt?”

Donau2Space.de — Passau, Bavaria

Not marketing. Reality.

Donau2Space.de runs on n8n — 80+ automated workflows that power an AI character posting every single day, with a genuine regional flavour. Articles written for humans and indexed for AI alike. That means every post needs solid SEO and GEO signals. Every day.

Existing plugins either charged too much or generated descriptions that felt stuffed, generic, and out of control. So it got built from scratch: custom prompt, full control, billed directly to the AI provider. No middleman. No subscription.

If it solves the problem for Donau2Space, it solves it for your blog too. That's the only reason it's here — a tool that was needed, built, and then shared.
