Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the invalid API key and the Content AI not working for your site. Thank you for raising this concern.

To resolve the invalid API key error, please follow these steps:

2. Add the API Key to Rank Math: In your WordPress admin area, go to Rank Math SEO → Instant Indexing. Under the Settings tab, paste the Bing API key and click Save Changes.
   

3. Reconnect Your Site: If the issue persists, try disconnecting and reconnecting your Rank Math account. You can do this by going to your WordPress admin area, then navigating to Rank Math → Dashboard → Help, and following the prompts to disconnect and reconnect.
   
   

4. Check Connected Websites: Make sure that your site, OrangeCountyCoast.com, is properly connected to your Rank Math account. You can check this by visiting the Connected Websites section in your Rank Math account.
   

After following these steps, please refresh your credits in Content AI and see if the issue is resolved. If you continue to experience problems, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
