Using the Premium plugin you can connect your site to Facebook via the API method and publish instant articles directly (opposed to via the RSS feed that Facebook only scrapes a few times an hour). Publishing instant articles via the API also enables access to view the article status; if Facebook has any problems parsing the content or it’s not showing correctly you’ll be able to see instantly without ever leaving WordPress. You’ll also have full access to all Instant Article analytics directly within your WordPress dashboard. A widget on the Admin dash provides an aggregated overview of how all your articles are doing, well on any post edit screen you can see stats for a particular post, both are broken down by browsing device and can be segmented by time frame. For a full comparison check out our features table.
Our premium support is here to help if you have any issues and also provide advice on any minor customisation you might need. All code is done to WordPress coding standards and is full of hooks and actions to make it as customisable as possible. Full documentation is available can be found here. And have we mentioned our 30 day refund policy?
