RelayCard

updated Jun 20, 2026

Inline cards that read like ads,
link like content.

RelayCard injects image-dominant related-post cards directly into your content — heading-aware, config-driven, and built to stop the scroll without feeling like a plugin.

// why it’s different

Built for the moment readers pause

Heading-aware injection
Counts H2/H3/H4s and scales card placement automatically. Short posts get one card, long posts get two. Nothing forced.
AI hook titles (optional)
Bring your own key — Gemini, ChatGPT, or Claude — and let RelayCard rewrite related-post titles into punchier hooks.
SEO plugin aware
Detects RankMath, Yoast, and AIOSEO titles automatically, so your cards stay consistent with the rest of your SEO setup.
Zero setup friction
CSS auto-enqueues on activation. No shortcodes. Cards only fire on posts with a featured image, keeping quality high.
