All features, all users, unlimited websites, no catch. Forever.<\/p>\n\n<p>I like and use the \"Big 3\" myself, but I don't like their pricing models and often, I just need the nuts and bolts of basic SEO features without constant upsell nags throughout the admin. I don't need flashy SEO scores or advanced features or AI writers. I don't want a setup wizard or a labyrinth of settings pages to navigate through to find one little toggle.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/robotfood.me\/\">Robot Food<\/a> isn't fancy, it's just useful, which is also the right mindset for SEO itself. If you want to get into the weeds, <a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/google-ranking-factors\">you can<\/a>, but SEO isn't really all that complex or mysterious and can be boiled down to two simple steps:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Be useful<\/strong>. Have quality content or offer worthwhile tools or services.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be tasty<\/strong>. Have a website that's secure, fast, and structured well, so it's easy for both humans and bots to navigate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4>Features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Title format and separator control<\/li>\n<li>Default and homepage-specific title and meta description<\/li>\n<li>Default social image for Open Graph and X Cards<\/li>\n<li>Schema markup (WebSite, Organization\/Person, Article\/WebPage per post, BreadcrumbList) including automatic breadcrumb schema<\/li>\n<li>Social profiles (sameAs)<\/li>\n<li>Per-post overrides for title, description, canonical, social title, social description, social image, schema type, noindex, and excluding from the sitemap and llms.txt<\/li>\n<li>Sitemap with option to exclude post types, individual posts, and terms<\/li>\n<li>Granular noindex controls for 404s, search results, archives, author pages, attachments, feeds, pagination, and custom URL paths<\/li>\n<li>Pagination canonicals (prev\/next)<\/li>\n<li>robots.txt customization via WordPress filter<\/li>\n<li>.htaccess rules to force HTTPS, remove www, and a 301 redirects manager<\/li>\n<li>Tracking &amp; verification (Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, Pinterest Tag, TikTok Pixel, X Pixel)<\/li>\n<li>llms.txt with smart defaults and customizable header<\/li>\n<li>Works with all public post types including WooCommerce, bbPress, and other custom post types<\/li>\n<li>Single settings page with live search<\/li>\n<li>No setup wizard, no admin bar, no bloat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin to your <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or install directly from the WordPress plugin directory.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <em>Settings &gt; SEO<\/em> to configure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"is%20there%20a%20paid%20version%3F\"><h3>Is there a paid version?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. This plugin is intentionally 100% free with all features available to everyone. No paywalled features, no restrictive licensing, no yearly subscription.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"but%20why%20is%20there%20no%20paid%20version%3F\"><h3>But why is there no paid version?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Because the \"Big 3\" SEO plugins all require ongoing annual subscriptions with per-site licensing. None of them offer a truly unlimited, one-time option for developers managing multiple websites. I build and maintain a lot of sites for myself and clients, and paying hundreds of dollars a year just to have basic SEO covered across all my projects never made sense. So I built the plugin I actually wanted to use: everything you need, no artificial feature walls, free on as many sites as you want.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20this%20plugin%27s%20feature%20set%20limited%3F\"><h3>Is this plugin's feature set limited?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Free doesn't mean limited. As an SEO professional who uses this plugin on my own projects every day, I have a personal stake in making sure it stays fully featured and up-to-date. If it's missing something I need, I'll add it.<\/p>\n\n<p>The features deliberately left out are the ones that don't actually move the needle: readability scoring, keyword density analysis, content grading, AI writing tools, and SEO scores. These are engagement features designed to keep you inside a plugin's ecosystem, not ranking signals. Google doesn't rank pages based on whether a plugin gave your content a green light. Good SEO comes down to useful content, a fast and well-structured site, and earning links. Robot Food handles the technical layer. The rest is up to you.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20this%20work%20with%20woocommerce%20products%20and%20other%20custom%20post%20types%3F\"><h3>Does this work with WooCommerce products and other custom post types?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
