## Description
**DMValdez Semantic Engine** is a schema-first technical SEO plugin, not an all-
in-one content suite. If you want structured data, meta tags, and a sitemap done
cleanly — without a keyword-research dashboard, an AI writing assistant, or a settings
maze — this is built for exactly that.
Every feature ships as clean, valid output: a single JSON-LD block per page (no
duplicate or conflicting schema), zero JavaScript on the frontend, and a free tier
that’s actually complete — not a teaser for a paywall.
#### What’s included in the free version
**SEO Basics**
* Custom SEO Title, Meta Description, and Focus Keyword per post
and page * Character counters in the editor to keep you within recommended limits*
All fields saved directly as post meta — no lock-in
**Structured Data (JSON-LD Schema)**
* WebPage, Article, BlogPosting, AboutPage,
ContactPage, and FAQPage schema types * Automatic BreadcrumbList schema on all posts
and pages * Organization / Publisher schema linked to your site identity settings*
Clean, valid JSON-LD output — no inline microdata, no conflicting markup
**[dmvlite_faq] Shortcode**
* Render native HTML5 accordion FAQ sections anywhere
in your content * Injects FAQPage JSON-LD automatically for Google Rich Results
eligibility * Attributes: `htag` (h2/h3/h4/h5/none), `open` (none/first/all), `style`(
card/minimal/flush)
**XML Sitemap**
* Generates `/sitemap.xml` listing your published posts and pages*
Respects per-post noindex settings — excluded posts don’t appear in the sitemap *
Sitemap URL is automatically injected into your `robots.txt` * 12-hour transient
cache with automatic refresh on publish/update * `[dmvlite_sitemap]` shortcode for
an HTML sitemap on any page
**Open Graph & Twitter Cards**
* og:title, og:description, og:type, og:url, og:
site_name, og:image * Twitter Card (summary_large_image when a social image is set,
summary otherwise) * Falls back to Featured Image for og:image when no social image
is specified
**Visibility Controls**
* noindex per post — hide specific content from search
engines * nofollow per post — block link equity on specific pages * 301 Redirect—
set a permanent redirect URL directly on any post or page
**Admin Columns**
* Schema Type and SEO Status columns on Posts and Pages list
screens * Quick visual confirmation of which pages have titles and descriptions
set

#### Setting up the FAQ shortcode
Add this shortcode to any post or page content:
```
[dmvlite_faq]
Q: What is DMValdez Semantic Engine?
A: A precision SEO and Schema plugin for WordPress. Free forever.
Q: Does it work with Elementor?
A: Yes — the metabox works in classic and Gutenberg editors. Elementor deep integration is available in DMValdez Semantic Engine Pro.
[/dmvlite_faq]
```
The shortcode renders native HTML5 accordion elements and automatically injects
FAQPage JSON-LD so Google can display Rich Results for your FAQ content.
## FAQ
### Will this conflict with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?
Running multiple SEO plugins simultaneously can create duplicate meta tags. It is
recommended to use only one SEO plugin at a time. If you are migrating from another
plugin, **DMValdez Semantic Engine Pro** includes a one-click SEO Data Bridge to
import your existing titles, descriptions, and keywords.
### Does it slow down my site?
No. DMValdez Semantic Engine adds zero JavaScript to your frontend. All output is
lightweight HTML meta tags and a single JSON-LD script block per page.
### Does it support custom post types?
Yes. The SEO metabox appears on all public post types automatically.
### What is the [dmvlite_faq] shortcode?
It renders collapsible accordion FAQ items using native HTML5 `` and `<
summary>` elements — no JavaScript required. It also automatically injects FAQPage
JSON-LD schema so your FAQ content can appear in Google’s Rich Results.
### Can I control which posts appear in the sitemap?
Yes. Enable the **noindex** toggle in the DMV SEO metabox on any post/page to exclude
it from both the sitemap and search engine indexing.
### Does this support llms.txt?
Not built into Lite. DMValdez Pro includes a built-in llms.txt engine — or use our
free [DMValdez AI Context](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dmvaldez-ai-context/) plugin
to generate and serve an `/llms.txt` file at no cost.
