 * After installing both the plugin and the extension manager and going through 
   the setup process, how do you tell what the plugin actually did to any post?
 * Are keywords supposed to get bolded, italicized, underlined, etc?
 * Are any changes actually made to a post, so when the post is viewed, you see 
   changes made to it?

 * Hi Mickey,
 * The plugin scrutinizes your WordPress website and provides various options fields
   for you to adjust. With this information, it creates many hidden “meta” fields,
   through which it can help your website get optimized for search engines and social
   media services.
 * Your site won’t be visually affected in any way. That’s not the intent of the
   plugin.
 * However, when sharing a link to your website via Facebook or Twitter, you’ll 
   notice that the card “preview” is beautified.
    Also, in Google and Bing, you’ll
   notice (after a while) that your website is displayed differently.
 * This is what the plugin essentially does, in superficial terms. There’s a lot
   more going on, which is explained, in detail, on the plugin’s homepage:

 * I’ve written a blog post that helps you find all the tools to [validate the plugin’s behavior](https://theseoframework.com/about/validating-your-websites-metadata/).
