WP Meta SEO Pro

You look after today's meta and nobody checks the older ones

You publish a post, work on the title and description, and the field looks right. The editor shows you that post and nothing else. Older pages, shop categories and images uploaded in a hurry stay as they were, and from a single post there is no way to see it.

On-page SEO fails on inventory before it fails on writing: what does not appear on a list does not get fixed. WP Meta SEO Pro starts from there. It gathers metas, images and 404 errors into site-wide screens, and its Pro addon adds the follow-up: Google data, duplicates and an email report.

One grid for metas and another for images

• Bulk meta editor: titles, descriptions, keywords and follow and index attributes on a single grid, with instant saving.
• Title copy: moves the content title into the meta tag and only writes to empty fields, so it respects what you already wrote.
• Filters: search and filtering by post type, and by language with WPML or Polylang.
• Bulk image editor: file name, title, alt text, legend and description. The new file name is updated in the content.
• HTML resize: detects images shrunk through HTML and replaces them without opening each piece of content.

Dead links and the sitemap

The crawl goes through your content looking for broken links and records each 404 with its hits and source, including when it comes from an external site. From that list you create the redirect in one click, as a 301, 302 or 307. Custom redirects and rules come with the Pro addon.

• Regular expressions to redirect several URLs with a single rule.
• A global setting to send all 404s to the home page, or a 404 page with your own design.
• XML and HTML sitemaps built from menus, posts, categories, pages, authors and custom post types, with a version per language in WPML and Polylang.
• Breadcrumbs compatible with rich snippets.

The follow-up the Pro addon brings

• Google Search Console: keyword suggestions, lookup by URL, sorting by clicks and impressions, and sitemap management.
• Duplicate metas: checking and fixing repeated titles and descriptions from the bulk editor.
• Google Analytics: data shown in the WordPress dashboard.
• Email report: combines traffic with the percentage of filled metas, unoptimized images and 404 errors. It takes several recipients, your own text, scheduled or one-off sending, and a PDF attachment.
• Automatic 404 index with a scheduler, instead of launching the check by hand.
• Sitemap link checker and two more themes for the HTML sitemap: accordion and tabbed.

A first pass through the site

The bulk editor shows the gaps, but you write the descriptions, and a filled meta guarantees no ranking. Image compression is handled by ImageRecycle, an external service that is optional. If you come from another plugin, import first and review afterward:

1. Import the metas from Yoast SEO or All in One SEO, if you used either.
2. Open the bulk editor and copy titles into the empty fields.
3. Fix duplicates and write the descriptions of the pages that matter most to you.
4. Run the broken link index and resolve the 404s with the most hits.
5. Generate the sitemap and connect Search Console.

It works with Gutenberg, the Classic Editor, Elementor, Divi, ACF, SiteOrigin, Themify and Live Composer.

From a different starting point

Rank Math SEO Pro joins optimization while you write with the performance of each page on Google. Yoast SEO Premium detects when you change or delete a URL and offers to create the redirect right then. If your problem is accumulated redirects, SEO Redirection Premium groups the rules and shows how many times each one was used.

WP Meta SEO Pro, question by question

Can I bring my metas over from Yoast?

Yes. It imports metas from Yoast SEO and All in One SEO, and with Yoast detected the full import takes one click at install.

Does the title copy overwrite what I wrote by hand?

No. It only writes to empty meta title fields.

Does it work for a multilingual site?

With WPML and Polylang, the bulk editors filter by language and sitemaps are generated per language.

Can I work on metas inside Elementor?

Yes. Title, meta, SEO analysis and keyword check are available inside the builder.
