group.one is taking its WordPress offering to a whole new level with the acquisition of WordPress Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) specialist Rank Math. With more than 2 million active users since its release in 2019, Rank Math is the fastest-growing WordPress SEO plugin. At its most fundamental level, Rank Math analyses websites and optimises content for high SEO rankings. Rank Math makes it easy for anyone to create and optimise their content in an SEO-friendly manner whilst providing an intuitive customer experience.
Nimit Kashyap, co-founder of Rank Math, attributes the company’s success to an unwavering commitment to the company vision. “Our vision is to empower everyone by making SEO simpler, more pleasant, and making customers more productive and successful online. We succeed when our users succeed – it is as simple as that. We are thrilled to announce that we are joining together with group.one whilst keeping this vision at the forefront of everything we do. We have found in group.one a truly like-minded partner, given their own set of core values centered around customer’s online presence success”.
Daniel Hagemeier, CEO of group.one, is pleased to welcome Rank Math into the group.one family. “Our company’s mission is to make our customers successful online. By optimising our customers SEO ranking in search engines, we make them win online. WordPress is already today the most famous content management system for our customers. Therefore, we are fully committed to WordPress and continuously invest into our WordPress ecosystem. Our acquisition of Rank Math supports our WordPress engagement even more. Rank Math stood out to us as an industry-leading product with a great team of people behind it. Achieving more than 2 million active users in a relatively short space of time is a truly impressive feat. We know this product will continue going from strength to strength. We extend a warm welcome to Nimit, along with his co-founders Bhanu Ahluwalia and Suraj Vibhute, together with the entire Rank Math team.”
This acquisition of Rank Math adds to the already strong position that group.one has obtained in the WordPress industry. group.one’s largest brand one.com is the leading webhosting provider of WordPress websites in the Nordic markets. In addition, group.one also includes the world’s leading WordPress speed optimisation plugin WP Rocket and image optimisation plugin Imagify, which are both powered by group.one company WP Media.
The co-founders and staff of Rank Math will continue to support, develop, and grow the business going forward.
