## Description
AWBSEO is a full-featured SEO plugin for WordPress. Everything listed below is free—
no locked features, no trial limits.
**On-Page SEO**
Analyze any post or page against its focus keyword. Scores title,
meta description, content length, keyword usage, headings, images, and internal
links. Scores appear as a colored circle directly in the Posts and Pages list tables(
similar to Rank Math’s column) so you can triage your entire site at a glance.
**XML Sitemaps**
Auto-generated sitemaps for posts, pages, taxonomies, images,
and Google News. Served virtually — no static file needed. Submit to Google Search
Console and Bing Webmaster Tools from the Sitemap admin page. Flush cache on demand.
**Google Search Console Integration**
Connect GSC via OAuth and pull clicks, impressions,
CTR, and average position directly into your WordPress dashboard. Date-range selector(
7/28/90/180 days and custom). Top pages and top queries tables with period-over-
period change.
**Google Analytics 4 Integration**
Connect GA4 via the same OAuth flow. Traffic
data feeds the AWBSEO dashboard alongside GSC data.
**Rank Tracker**
Track unlimited keywords and their Google Search Console positions.
Historical position chart per keyword. Daily automatic position refresh via WP-Cron.
**Local SEO**
Add and manage business locations with full address, phone, email,
geo-coordinates, business hours, and price range. Automatically generates LocalBusiness
schema markup.
**Hreflang Manager**
Define language/region pairs and let AWBSEO inject the correct
hreflang link elements in `` across your site.
**Redirects**
Create, edit, and delete 301/302 redirects from the admin. Tracks
hit counts per redirect.
**Broken Link Checker**
Scans all internal and external links in your content.
Displays HTTP status codes and last-checked timestamps. Manual scan on demand, with
opt-in automatic daily background scan via WP-Cron.
**Bulk Editor**
Edit title tags and meta descriptions for hundreds of posts in
a spreadsheet-style table. Export to CSV.
**Content Decay**
Flag posts whose organic traffic has been declining. Prioritize
which content to refresh first.
**Keyword Cannibalization Scanner**
Detect when multiple pages are competing for
the same focus keyword and risking self-competition in Google.
**Schema Markup**
Add Article, FAQ, Product, Recipe, Event, Local Business, Breadcrumb,
and more — with a clean admin UI. Output as JSON-LD in ``.
**Instant Indexing**
Submit URLs directly to Google’s Indexing API and Bing Webmaster
Tools for faster crawling after publish or update.
**WooCommerce SEO**
Optimized title and meta templates for product pages. Bulk-
fix missing product image alt text.
**Dashboard**
KPI strip showing clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position
from GSC and Bing. Traffic chart with range selector. SEO snapshot widget on the
native WordPress Dashboard screen.
**Built for AI-Era Search**
AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google
AI Overviews now surface content before users ever click a search result. AWBSEO
builds the foundations these engines rely on: structured schema markup, well-defined
entities, clean on-page signals, and fast-loading pages. Every feature in this plugin
contributes to how confidently an AI engine can read, understand, and cite your
content.
For full AI Search Optimization including GEO (Generative Engine Optimization),
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), AI prompt tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity,
Copilot, and Claude, and llms.txt generation, upgrade to AWBSEO Pro.
**Extend with AWBSEO Pro**
AWBSEO Pro is a separate, optional add-on available
at [adworks.bid/awbseo-pro](https://adworks.bid/awbseo-pro/). Pro features include:
* **GEO / AI SEO** — Optimize content for Generative Engine Optimization and Answer
Engine Optimization. Auto-generates llms.txt and structured AI-friendly content
signals.
* **AI Search Optimizer** — Track how your brand appears in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity,
Copilot, and Claude across your target prompts.
* **Brand Visibility on AI Engines** — Monitor and grow brand citations in AI-generated
answers.
* **AI Content Writer** — Generate SEO-optimized drafts using your own AI API key(
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity).
* **AI Link Architecture** — Smart internal linking powered by semantic analysis.
* **Local Rank Grid** — Visualize keyword rankings across a geographic grid map.
* **Core Web Vitals Monitor** — Track LCP, INP, and CLS via PageSpeed Insights
API.
* **Revenue Intelligence** — Connect revenue data to SEO performance.
* **White-label Client Reports** — Branded PDF reports with your logo and client
data.
The free plugin works fully without Pro.

## Installation
1. Upload the `awb-seo` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
3. Go to **AWBSEO Dashboard** to start setup.
4. Connect Google Search Console via **Settings GSC** to unlock traffic data.
## FAQ
### Is everything really free?
Yes. All features listed in the description are fully functional with no usage limits.
AWBSEO Pro is a separate add-on, not a trial or upgrade gate on the free features.
### Does this plugin track my users?
No. AWBSEO does not collect or transmit user data. The Google Search Console and
GA4 integrations use OAuth tokens stored only in your own WordPress database and
communicate directly between your site and Google’s servers.
### Is it compatible with Gutenberg?
Yes. The meta box and all admin pages work in both the classic editor and the block
editor.
### Can I use this with WooCommerce?
Yes. The WooCommerce SEO module generates optimized title and meta templates for
product archive pages and individual product pages.
### Does it conflict with Yoast, Rank Math, or SEOPress?
Running two SEO plugins simultaneously can cause duplicate meta tags. We recommend
deactivating other SEO plugins when using AWBSEO.

## Changelog
#### 1.2.11
* New: Export / Import — back up all SEO data (settings, redirects, rank tracker,
local SEO, per-page meta) to a JSON file and restore it on any site. Available
under AWBSEO > Export / Import.
#### 1.2.10
* Improvement: AdWorksBid SEO dashboard widget now always appears at the top of
the WordPress admin dashboard, above all other widgets.
#### 1.2.9
* Fix: Setup wizard no longer freezes at “Scanning for existing SEO data…” — a
PHP nowdoc was incorrectly used to build the wizard’s inline JavaScript, causing
a `` tag to appear as literal text instead of being evaluated,
which produced a JS syntax error that prevented the entire wizard script from
running.
#### 1.2.8
* Fix: AJAX action names now use the consistent `awbseo_*` prefix throughout the
admin — eliminates silent failures when multiple AJAX handlers were registered
under mismatched action strings.
* Fix: Inline admin JavaScript blocks now attach to the correct enqueued script
handle (`awbseo-admin`) so all admin UI interactions load reliably.
* Compatibility: Improved compatibility with AdWorksBid SEO PRO — shared action
hooks and nonce names are now consistent across both plugins.
#### 1.2.7
* Fix: Instant Indexing — when “Submissions Logged” is 0, a contextual info box
now explains that submissions only trigger on publish/update and directs users
to Bulk Submission for existing content.
* Fix: Revenue Intelligence — when Google Search Console is not connected, a prominent
full-width callout now dominates the screen instead of a small inline banner,
making the setup requirement impossible to miss.
* Fix: Client Reports — default report title now includes the current time (e.g.“
SEO Report – Jul 12, 2026 (3:45 PM)”) so clicking Generate multiple times no
longer creates identically-named duplicate entries.
* Fix: Core Web Vitals Monitor — when no PageSpeed Insights API key is set, a large
prominent callout (with setup instructions and a direct link to the settings
form) now appears at the top of the screen before the URLs table.
* Fix: AI Link Architecture — when 0 of N pages have been scanned (indexed ===
0), the overview tab now shows a “Run your first scan” prompt instead of misleading
zero-counts for Orphan Pages, Broken Links, and Health Score.
* Fix: WooCommerce SEO menu item is now automatically hidden when WooCommerce is
not installed or active.
* Fix: Freemius “Yee-haw!” activation banner now auto-dismisses after 5 seconds
on first display, so it confirms license activation once without persisting across
every admin page.
* Fix: Arabic URL paths in the Rank Tracker Quick Wins table now display as readable
text (was showing percent-encoded strings).
* Fix: Schema Types page no longer references “RankMath” by name — replaced with“
Other SEO plugins”.
#### 1.2.6
* Improvement: Full visual redesign of all plugin sections — lighter page background(#
f1f5f9), white cards with soft shadows, deeper navy palette, updated teal accent(#
00c9a7), cleaner borderless tables with colored position pills, pill-shaped range
selector, modern KPI cards with larger values and colored change badges, updated
severity/badge colors throughout.
* Improvement: “Suggest For Me” button redesigned — gradient teal pill with shimmer
animation, hover lift effect, and drop shadow. Distinct and premium-looking,
matching the new design language.
#### 1.2.5
* Feature: “Suggest For Me” now routes through AdWorks.Bid’s own AI broker (Claude
Haiku). No API key required from users — the feature works out of the box.
#### 1.2.4
* Improvement: “Suggest For Me” button now works without an OpenAI API key — falls
back to extracting the first 155 characters from the post content. Add an OpenAI
key in Settings for AI-written suggestions.
#### 1.2.3
* Fix: “Suggest For Me” now surfaces the actual OpenAI error message (quota exceeded,
invalid key, rate limit, etc.) instead of the generic “empty response” fallback.
#### 1.2.2
* Fix: “Suggest For Me” AJAX handler was calling AWBSEO_Core::get_settings() which
does not exist, causing a 500 error. Now uses get_option(‘awb_seo_settings’)
directly.
#### 1.2.1
* Fix: “Suggest For Me” AI button now works in the Bulk Editor — admin scripts
were not loading on plugin submenu pages due to an incorrect hook check.
* Feature: “Suggest For Me” AI button added to the individual post/page meta box
meta description field.
* Fix: Meta description counter and maxlength in the meta box updated to 155 characters(
was 160/200).
#### 1.2.0
* Fix: Bulk Editor meta description field now enforces a hard 155-character limit(
maxlength) and marks the counter red above 155.
#### 1.1.9
* Feature: Bulk Editor now has a “Suggest For Me” button on each meta description
field — calls OpenAI gpt-4o-mini to generate an SEO-optimized description from
the post title, focus keyword, and content. Requires an OpenAI API key in Settings.
#### 1.1.8
* Improvement: Bulk editor meta description placeholder now shows a suggestion
derived from the post excerpt or content instead of generic text.
#### 1.1.7
* Fix: Added wp_unslash() around $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] in class-instant-indexing.
php and class-redirects.php per WPCS standards.
* Fix: Added wp_unslash() around $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] in class-setup-wizard.php.
* Fix: Added absint() and (int) casts to all unescaped integer echoes in bulk-editor.
php.
#### 1.1.6
* Fix: Restored privacy policy and terms of service links in readme.txt External
Services section — pages are now live at adworks.bid/privacy-policy and adworks.
bid/terms-of-service.
#### 1.1.5
* Fix: Text domain changed from ‘awb-seo’ to ‘adworksbid-seo’ across all PHP files
to match the WordPress.org plugin slug. Language files renamed accordingly.
* Fix: Chart.js updated from 4.4.0 to 4.5.1 (latest stable).
* Fix: Removed 404 privacy/terms URLs from External Services section in readme.
txt.
#### 1.1.4
* Fix: Rank Tracker page now displays in Arabic when site language is set to Arabic.
All strings in rank-tracker.php are now wrapped with __()/_e() so the .mo translations
take effect.
* Updated: awb-seo-ar.po/.mo expanded from 256 to 280 strings — all rank tracker
strings added with Arabic translations.
#### 1.1.3
* Fix: Health check rows (.awb-hc-*) now render as a proper grid with icon, label,
progress bar, count, and fix link — previously had no CSS so all elements ran
together without layout.
* Fix: Cairo font now applied to all text inside the plugin via .awb-seo-wrap *—
fixes inconsistent font across labels, table cells, and stat values.
* Fix: On Arabic/RTL sites, Cairo applied to entire #wpbody including the admin
sidebar via admin-rtl.css, so all AWBSEO menu items also render in Cairo.
* Improvement: More generous padding on cards (26px 30px), KPI cards (22px 24px),
and page body to give the dashboard more breathing room.
* Improvement: Health score ring sized to 72px; section header layout uses flex
to keep score ring aligned with title.
* Improvement: RTL overrides for KPI strip, date picker, chart legend, analytics
tables, and health-check row column order added to admin-rtl.css.
#### 1.1.2
* New: Cairo font (Google Fonts) loaded across all AWBSEO admin pages. Cairo supports
Arabic and Latin, giving the plugin a consistent typeface in both languages.
RTL sites get Cairo applied explicitly via admin-rtl.css.
#### 1.1.1
* Fix: Dashboard content area (KPI cards, table headers, chart labels, health checks)
now displays in Arabic when site language is set to Arabic. All strings in dashboard.
php are now wrapped with __()/_e() so the .mo translations take effect. (1.1.0
only translated menu items, which were already wrapped — the content area was
still hardcoded English.)
* Updated: awb-seo-ar.po/.mo expanded from 202 to 256 strings — all dashboard strings
added with Arabic translations.
#### 1.1.0
* New: Full Arabic UI — 202 strings translated to Arabic (languages/awb-seo-ar.
po + awb-seo-ar.mo). Set WordPress site language to Arabic and the entire admin
interface switches to Arabic automatically.
* New: RTL admin stylesheet (admin-rtl.css) — WordPress loads it automatically
on Arabic/Hebrew/RTL sites. Covers all admin pages, meta box, score column, tables,
forms, and the setup wizard.
* New: Arabic-aware on-page analyzer — detects Arabic content and switches to Unicode-
safe word counting (fixing str_word_count() which returns 0 for Arabic). Keyword
density uses morphological root matching for single-word Arabic keywords, and
sliding-window phrase matching for multi-word Arabic keywords.
* Fix: 3 hardcoded strings in meta-box.php now wrapped with esc_html__() for translatability.
#### 1.0.7
* Fixed: Pro plugin admin menu not appearing when both plugins are active. Root
cause: WordPress loads plugins alphabetically, so adworksbidseo-pro loads before
awb-seo and defines awb_fs() first; the free plugin’s Freemius guard then returned
early, skipping all class and admin menu registration. The guard now only prevents
true double-loads — the free plugin always initializes fully regardless of load
order.
#### 1.0.6
* Fixed: Pro plugin dependency check — “AdWorksBid SEO PRO requires the free plugin”
error no longer appears when Pro loads before the free plugin. AWB_SEO_VERSION
is now defined before the Freemius guard so Pro can always detect the free plugin
regardless of load order.
#### 1.0.5
* SEO score column: fixed colored circle not rendering on Posts/Pages list tables—
CSS was only loaded on plugin admin pages, now also loads on edit.php.
#### 1.0.4
* Bulk Editor: fixed fatal error when switching post type to Pages — the Bulk Editor
now correctly loads and displays all published post types including Pages.
#### 1.0.3
* Schema output: removed `JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE` flag from `wp_json_encode()`
calls — non-ASCII characters are now safely encoded as `\uXXXX` sequences.
* Schema meta-manager: replaced `stripslashes()` with `wp_unslash()` per WordPress
coding standards.
* Updated all plugin-internal URLs from `adworksbid.com` to `adworks.bid` (upgrade
prompts, admin Go Pro page, OAuth broker, readme external service declaration).
#### 1.0.2
* Removed WooCommerce SEO locked overlay — all features are now fully free with
no upgrade gate.
* Broken Link Scanner: removed false “daily auto-scan” claim; added opt-in toggle(
off by default) to comply with WP.org Guideline 7.
* Instant Indexing: changed auto-submit default from ON to OFF — user must explicitly
enable in Settings.
* Removed `JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES` from schema JSON-LD output to prevent XSS via
forward-slash sequences.
* Fixed plugin header URLs (Plugin URI, Author URI) from 404 domain to https://
adworks.bid/.
* Fixed `uninstall.php` — removed non-existent `awb_seo_instant_indexing_settings`
option key; added `awbseo_bls_auto`.
* Updated all readme.txt adworksbid.com links to adworks.bid.
#### 1.0.1
* Renamed plugin to “AdWorksBid SEO” for WordPress.org directory compliance.
* Tested up to WordPress 7.0.
* Moved all inline `
