What it does
SEO work on a WordPress site tends to spread across many small tasks: writing titles and descriptions, keeping sitemaps current, adding schema, fixing broken structure and linking related posts. This plugin gathers those jobs in one place. Its site crawler scans your pages and flags SEO issues so you can fix them, and it generates sitemaps automatically and notifies search engines when new content is published. Title and meta tools control how your pages appear in search results, while robots.txt and breadcrumb settings give you control over indexing and navigation.
The plugin also covers needs beyond a typical blog. Online stores get WooCommerce SEO settings for product pages and categories. Location-based redirects send visitors to different pages depending on where they are. Agencies and freelancers can use white label branding to deliver SEO reports under their own name, and sites connected to The Hub, WPMU DEV's management dashboard, can have SEO settings and audits handled across several sites from one screen. Schema support covers over 150 types for rich snippets.
Best for
- Bloggers and businesses handling their own WordPress SEO
- WooCommerce stores optimizing product and category pages
- Agencies managing SEO across many client sites
