WP Smart SEO

Description

WP Smart SEO gives you full control over how your content appears in search engines and on social media — without the overhead of a massive SEO suite.

Whether you run a blog, a business website or an online shop: every page, post and category gets its own SEO fields, and you decide exactly what the world sees.

What WP Smart SEO generates for you

For every Page, Post and Category, the plugin automatically outputs:

  • og:type, og:title, og:description, og:image — for perfect Facebook & LinkedIn previews
  • twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image — for crisp Twitter/X cards
  • Meta Robots Tag — fine-grained control with index, follow, noindex, nofollow

🤖 AI Clipboard Buttons

Working with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini? With a single click, WP Smart SEO copies your page text, blog post or product description — together with a ready-made prompt — straight to your clipboard. Paste it into your favourite AI and get an optimised SEO text in seconds.

Mit einem Klick den Seiteninhalt inklusive Prompt in die Zwischenablage kopieren und direkt in die lieblings-KI eingeben — SEO-Texte schneller als je zuvor.

🌍 Multilingual

WP Smart SEO is available in English and German — more languages welcome via the WordPress translation community.

🔍 SEO Overview in Post & Page Lists

Your SEO titles and descriptions are shown directly in the WordPress post and page overview — so you can spot missing or weak SEO texts at a glance, without opening every single entry.

✏️ Smart Auto-Fill

When you enter the page title, it is automatically pre-filled into the SEO title field — saving you time while still letting you customise it whenever you need to.

📏 Character Counter

Built-in character counters for title and description fields help you stay within the recommended lengths for Google — no guesswork required.
