Grovik

The WordPress AI plugin that publishes for you

Most WordPress AI plugins wait for you to open the editor and write a prompt. This one reads your site, picks topics with real search volume behind them, and publishes finished posts on a schedule — without you opening anything.

Finished posts, published to your own WordPress on a schedule you set.

There is a question I hear almost daily, asked with the particular sincerity of someone standing at the counter, unsure whether they want something small and fierce or something long and gentle: what is the difference between espresso and coffee? The honest answer is that espresso is coffee - but the way it is made changes almost everything about what arrives in the cup. Grind, pressure, water, time: these four variables are the whole story, and yet within them lives an entire philosophy of drinking.

I have spent enough mornings behind this counter to know that the question is rarely just technical. People are really asking which ritual suits them. Do you want the quick, concentrated punctuation mark of an espresso shot, or the slower unfolding of a brewed cup that asks you to sit a while? Neither is superior. They are simply different instruments playing the same note.

What Is the Actual difference between espresso and coffee?

The core difference between espresso and coffee lies in the brewing method, not the beans. Espresso is made by forcing hot water through finely-ground, tightly packed coffee at roughly nine bars of pressure, extracting a small, concentrated shot in about 25-30 seconds. Regular coffee - whether poured over, dripped, or steeped - uses gravity or time instead of pressure, with coarser grounds and a much longer contact between water and grain.

That distinction in pressure is everything. It is why espresso emerges thick, syrupy, crowned with crema, while a pour-over arrives clear and articulate, its flavors spread out like sentences instead of compressed into a single exhale. Same origin, same farmer, same harvest sometimes - and still two entirely different creatures by the time they reach your hands.

Every article on the Grovik blog was written and published by Grovik, on the schedule it was given.

Connecting your WordPress site

Once the key is in place you do not have to come back to WordPress for anything — the connection runs from Grovik’s side.

01

Get started

You pick your plan when you sign up — SEO, Social or Growth, monthly or every 6 months — and enter a card then. Connecting WordPress is one of the first steps of the setup, and the first articles are written straight after.

02

Add your WordPress site

Enter your address and pick your language and publishing frequency. Grovik reads the site, learns how you write, and proposes the first topics.

03

Install the plugin and generate a key

In WordPress: Plugins → Add New, search for Grovik Publisher, activate it, and open Settings → Grovik Publisher to generate an API key. It needs WordPress 5.3 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer.

04

Paste the key into Grovik

Back in Grovik, under Settings → Publishing, paste the key together with your site address and test the connection. No WordPress username or password is involved.

Everything the plugin puts in your post

A finished post, not a draft to tidy up. Everything below is written by the time it reaches your site.

Both are sent with the article, so the URL is set deliberately rather than generated from the title after the fact.

Headings in order, the body copy underneath them, and a FAQ section at the end of every article — it arrives as finished post content, not as a block of text to lay out.

Written into the article as it is composed, pointing at pages you already have, with anchor text that fits the sentence around it.

The plugin downloads the image into your own library through WordPress’s standard media handling and sets it as the featured image, with its alt text.

Written into Yoast SEO or Rank Math, whichever your site runs, so the search snippet is set when the post goes live. Edit them in Grovik and push the article again and the fields follow. WordPress has no field of its own for these, so a site with neither plugin gets the post without them.

Both are chosen once on the plugin’s settings screen and applied to every article it publishes, so posts land where your theme and menus expect them.

The SEO fields need Yoast or Rank Math to live in — see the FAQ below.

Automatic SEO for WordPress, starting with the research

A prompt is a guess. Before anything is written, Grovik pulls real monthly search volumes and competition figures and picks the topics worth writing about for your site specifically — so the article you get is one somebody is actually searching for, not the one that happened to occur to you on the day.

Then it reads what you have already published and builds a profile of how you write, so a new article sounds like the rest of your site rather than like a text generator. It links the article to your own pages as it goes, which is the part of SEO content that normally gets left undone.

The schedule is the last piece, and it is what makes this auto SEO for WordPress rather than another thing to remember: you set the pace, Grovik fills the calendar and publishes on its own, instead of a burst of ten posts in one afternoon and nothing for a month. It sits alongside whatever WordPress SEO plugin you already run rather than replacing it. If you want to see the state of your site before any of that starts, the free website SEO audit is the place to begin.

Requirements and compatibility

It is a small plugin with a narrow job, which is most of why there is not much to be compatible with.

  • WordPress 5.3+, PHP 7.4+

    Self-hosted WordPress, on any host that can serve the REST API.

  • Yoast and Rank Math

    The SEO title and meta description are written into whichever of the two your site runs. Everything else works as usual: what arrives is an ordinary post, analysed like everything else.

  • Gutenberg and page builders

    Articles are created as standard WordPress posts, so they open in the block editor or the classic editor and your theme renders them exactly as it renders the posts you write yourself.

  • It never calls out to us

    The plugin makes no outbound requests of any kind. It waits for Grovik to connect in with the key you generated, which means nothing leaves your server unless you asked for it.

WordPress AI plugin: frequently asked questions

Yes, the plugin itself is free and open source (GPLv2 or later). It is only the publishing end, though — it contains no content generation and does nothing at all until you connect it to a Grovik account, which is the paid part. An account starts at $49 a month for one website, and you pick your plan when you sign up.

No. Grovik only ever updates the posts it published itself: it records each post’s ID at publish time and acts on those IDs alone, so it never scans, rewrites or tidies anything else on your site. The plugin also refuses anything that is not an ordinary post, which puts your pages, attachments and custom post types out of reach entirely. Being straight about the limit: the API key is the real security boundary, so treat it like any other credential and rotate it from the settings screen if it ever leaks.

Either — it is a single switch per site. With automatic publishing on, each article goes live on the date its topic was scheduled for, without you opening anything. With it off, articles are written and wait as drafts until you press Publish yourself, in Grovik or in WordPress. You can change your mind at any point, and turning it off does not touch anything already published.

Yes, and it fills its fields in. Grovik writes a meta title and description for every article, and the plugin writes them into Yoast SEO or Rank Math — whichever one your site has active — so the search snippet is set the moment the post goes live. Change them in Grovik later and pushing the article again updates them. Everything else works the way it would anyway, because what arrives is an ordinary WordPress post that your SEO plugin analyses like any other. One limit worth knowing: WordPress itself has no SEO title or meta description field, so on a site running neither plugin there is nowhere to put them and the post arrives without them.

Yes, and that is the normal setup for an agency or anyone running more than one site. Each domain is added to the same Grovik account as its own paid seat with its own keyword research, its own schedule, its own plan and its own monthly article allowance, and each can be cancelled on its own without affecting the others. One thing worth knowing before you plan around it: all domains on one account share a single subscription and billing interval, so they are separate seats on one plan rather than independent plans.

Everything already published stays exactly where it is. The posts are ordinary posts in your own database — Grovik does not reach back in to remove them, and the plugin never deletes anything on its own. Cancelling stops new articles being written and published, and at the end of the period you have already paid for, Grovik clears its own records for that domain and forgets the connection. Deactivating the plugin has the same effect from the WordPress side: it closes the door, and leaves the posts.

Most AI plugins for WordPress are writing tools that live in the editor: you open a post, type a prompt, and get a draft you then have to finish, title, illustrate and schedule. Grovik works from the other end. It reads your site, checks topics against real Google search volume, writes the article in the voice of your existing content, links it to your own pages, attaches a featured image, and publishes it on a schedule — with nothing to open. The difference in practice is what you do on a Tuesday: with a prompt tool you have to remember to write something, and with this you do not.
