Sky SEO Manager<\/p>"},"content":{"rendered":"# Getting Started with SkySEOManager\r\n\r\nWelcome! SkySEOManager is an all\u2011in\u2011one WordPress plugin that uses AI to help you improve your site\u2019s search visibility. This guide walks you through the first steps so you can start optimizing immediately.\r\n\r\n## Before You Begin\r\n\r\nMake sure you have:\r\n\r\n- A self\u2011hosted WordPress website (the plugin works with current versions of WordPress and PHP).\r\n- An active Google Gemini API key if you want to use AI\u2011powered features (content optimization, internal linking, schema generation, etc.).\r\n- Admin access to your WordPress site (the plugin\u2019s settings and tools are located under the SkySEOManager menu).\r\n\r\n> **Tip:** Keep your API key handy \u2013 you\u2019ll need it during the initial setup.\r\n\r\n## Installation\r\n\r\n1. In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins \u2192 Add New**.\r\n2. Click **Upload Plugin** and choose the SkySEOManager zip file, or search for \u201cSkySEOManager\u201d in the plugin directory.\r\n3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.\r\n\r\nAfter activation, the **Onboarding Wizard** opens automatically. If it doesn\u2019t appear, you can open it later by clicking the SkySEOManager logo in the admin sidebar.\r\n\r\n## First\u2011Time Setup\r\n\r\nThe Onboarding Wizard guides you through five simple steps to configure your site and activate the features you need.\r\n\r\n### Step 1 \u2013 Import existing SEO data (optional)\r\nIf you\u2019re coming from another SEO plugin (for example, Yoast, Rank Math, or AIOSEO), you can import your existing metadata. Select the plugin you want to import from and click the import button. Progress is shown on screen. You can skip this step if you\u2019re starting fresh.\r\n\r\n### Step 2 \u2013 Choose enabled features\r\nA grid of available features is displayed. Toggle each one on or off to decide which tools appear in your SkySEOManager menu. For example, you can turn on the **Bulk Editor**, **Automation**, **Internal Linking**, **GEO**, and many more. Click the \u201cSave\u201d button when you\u2019re done (you can change these later from the Dashboard).\r\n\r\n### Step 3 \u2013 Configure AI and site identity\r\n- **Company Name** \u2013 Enter your organization\u2019s name (used in Schema markup).\r\n- **Logo URL** \u2013 Provide the URL of your company logo.\r\n- **Twitter @username** \u2013 Your global Twitter\/X handle.\r\n- **Facebook Page URL** \u2013 The URL of your Facebook page.\r\n- **Gemini API Key** \u2013 Paste your API key to enable AI features.\r\n- **Gemini Model** \u2013 Choose which Gemini model to use (or leave the default).\r\n\r\n### Step 4 \u2013 Review your settings\r\nA summary of all your choices is shown. You can go back and adjust anything if needed.\r\n\r\n### Step 5 \u2013 Start optimizing\r\nClick the final button to complete setup. The wizard closes and you\u2019ll land on the SkySEOManager Dashboard.\r\n\r\n## Your First Steps\r\n\r\nNow that the wizard is complete, here are two simple ways to start using SkySEOManager:\r\n\r\n### 1. Edit SEO metadata on any post or page\r\n\r\n1. Open a post or page for editing.\r\n2. Look for the **SkySEOManager** panel \u2013 it appears in the Gutenberg sidebar or as a meta box below the classic editor.\r\n3. Enter one or more **focus keywords** (comma\u2011separated).\r\n4. Type an **SEO title** and **meta description**. A live SERP preview updates as you type, along with character counts and length scores.\r\n5. The fields save automatically \u2013 no need to click a separate update button.\r\n\r\n> You can also adjust other settings in this panel: robots meta (noindex\/nofollow), canonical URL, and social media fields for Open Graph and Twitter Cards.\r\n\r\n### 2. Customize your workspace on the Dashboard\r\n\r\n1. Go to **SkySEOManager \u2192 Dashboard**.\r\n2. You\u2019ll see a grid of feature cards \u2013 each card represents a major tool (Bulk Edit, Automation, Internal Linking, GEO, etc.).\r\n3. Toggle any card **on** or **off** to show or hide that tool from the menu.\r\n4. Click **Save Enabled Features** at the top of the page. The menu tabs update immediately.\r\n\r\nThis lets you build a focused SEO workspace that matches your daily workflow.\r\n\r\n\r\n## Onboarding Wizard\r\n\r\n### What It Does\r\nThe Onboarding Wizard is a guided 5-step setup that appears right after you activate the plugin. It helps you bring in SEO data from another plugin you may have used, choose which features you want active, configure your AI API key, and get your site ready for content optimization.\r\n\r\n### How to Use It\r\n1. **Start the wizard** \u2013 After plugin activation, you\u2019ll land on the Welcome page. Click **Start Setup** to begin.\r\n2. **Step 1: Import SEO data (optional)** \u2013 If you\u2019ve used another SEO plugin before, select it from the list and click **Import** to bring over your existing settings and metadata. You can skip this step if you\u2019re starting fresh.\r\n3. **Step 2: Choose features** \u2013 Toggle the checkboxes for the features you want enabled on your site. You can change these later from the Settings page.\r\n4. **Step 3: Configure AI API** \u2013 Enter your Gemini API key and select your preferred Gemini model. This unlocks AI-powered content suggestions and optimizations.\r\n5. **Step 4: Review your settings** \u2013 A summary screen shows everything you\u2019ve selected. Check it over and make any adjustments.\r\n6. **Step 5: Start optimizing** \u2013 Click **Complete Setup**. The wizard closes, and you\u2019re ready to start using the plugin to improve your SEO.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| Company Name | Sets your organization name for schema markup |\r\n| Logo URL | URL to your organization logo for schema |\r\n| Twitter @username | Sets the global Twitter\/X social handle |\r\n| Facebook Page URL | Sets the global Facebook page URL |\r\n| Gemini API Key | Enables AI content optimization features |\r\n| Gemini Model | Selects which Gemini model to use for AI generation |\r\n| Enabled Features | Choose which features to enable during setup |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n\r\n- **Import data first** \u2013 If you\u2019re switching from another SEO plugin, the import step will save you from re-entering meta descriptions, titles, and other settings.\r\n- **Be accurate with your business info** \u2013 The Company Name, Logo, and social URLs are used in schema markup, so double-check them for correct branding.\r\n- **Only enable features you\u2019ll use** \u2013 The wizard lets you pick and choose. Starting with only what you need keeps things clean, and you can always enable more later.\r\n- **Set up your AI key right away** \u2013 Adding your Gemini API key during setup unlocks AI-assisted features immediately, so you can take advantage of content suggestions from day one.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Feature Manager (Dashboard)\r\n### What It Does\r\nThe Feature Manager (Dashboard) lets you customize your SEO workspace by enabling or disabling individual features on a grid-based dashboard. You can toggle features on or off and save the configuration to show only the tools you need.\r\n\r\n### How to Use It\r\n1. Go to **SkySEOManager** and click the **Dashboard** tab.\r\n2. In the Feature Manager, you\u2019ll see a grid of cards representing each available feature.\r\n3. Toggle each card on or off to enable or disable that feature. Enabled features will be visible in the sidebar; disabled features will be hidden.\r\n4. To quickly access a feature\u2019s settings, click the gear icon on its card.\r\n5. Once you\u2019ve made your selections, click the **Save Enabled Features** button.\r\n6. The dashboard refreshes, and only the features you enabled will be available in the sidebar.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| Bulk Edit toggle | Show\/hide the Bulk Edit tab |\r\n| Automation toggle | Show\/hide the Automation tab |\r\n| Internal Linking toggle | Show\/hide the Internal Linking tab |\r\n| 404 Monitor toggle | Show\/hide the 404 Monitor tab |\r\n| SEO Analyzer toggle | Show\/hide the SEO Analyzer tab |\r\n| Webmaster Tools toggle | Show\/hide the Webmaster Tools tab |\r\n| Sitemap toggle | Show\/hide the Sitemap tab |\r\n| Robots.txt toggle | Show\/hide the Robots.txt tab |\r\n| Schema toggle | Show\/hide the Schema tab |\r\n| AI Schema Builder toggle | Show\/hide the AI Schema Builder tab |\r\n| IndexNow toggle | Show\/hide the IndexNow tab |\r\n| Role Manager toggle | Show\/hide the Role Manager tab |\r\n| GEO toggle | Show\/hide the GEO tab |\r\n| WooCommerce SEO toggle | Enable\/disable WooCommerce-specific SEO features |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n- Only enable the features you actively need to keep your workspace focused and reduce visual clutter.\r\n- Use the gear icon on any feature card to jump directly to that feature\u2019s advanced settings.\r\n- Remember to click the **Save Enabled Features** button after making changes to apply your new configuration.\r\n- If a feature suddenly disappears from the sidebar, check the Feature Manager to ensure its toggle is turned on.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Bulk Editor\r\n\r\n### What It Does\r\n\r\nThe Bulk Editor gives you a spreadsheet-like view where you can edit SEO metadata for multiple posts, pages, or taxonomies at once. You can quickly update titles, meta descriptions, focus keywords, and featured images without opening each item individually. It also includes SEO filters, AI-powered generation, a missing-data-only mode, and pagination to help you work efficiently.\r\n\r\n### How to Use It\r\n\r\n1. Go to **SkySEOManager** and open the **Bulk Edit** tab.\r\n2. Use the **Post Type selector** to choose the type of content you want to edit (posts, pages, or a taxonomy with SEO enabled).\r\n3. Optionally, apply an **SEO filter** to narrow down items that need attention (e.g., missing titles, descriptions, or low scores).\r\n4. The table displays each item as a row with editable fields for title, meta description, focus keyword, and featured image.\r\n5. Make your changes directly in the fields\u2014changes are saved automatically when you move to another field.\r\n6. To perform batch actions, check the boxes next to the rows you want to include.\r\n7. Click **AI Optimize Selected** to generate or improve SEO content for the checked items. You can also click the **Optimize** button in any individual row.\r\n8. If you only want the AI to fill empty fields, turn on **Only add missing data** before clicking AI Optimize.\r\n9. Use the **Per Page** setting to control how many items appear on each page (20\u2013100), and navigate between pages using the pagination controls.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| Post Type selector | Choose between post types and taxonomies that have the SEO box enabled. |\r\n| SEO Filter | Filter posts by SEO status (e.g., All, Missing Title, Missing Description, Title Too Short, Title Too Long, Description Too Short, Description Too Long, Missing Keywords, Score < 50, No Index, No Follow). |\r\n| Per Page | Number of items shown per page (20\u2013100). |\r\n| TranslatePress Language | Show translations for multilingual sites. |\r\n| AI Optimize Selected | Run AI optimization only on the checked posts. |\r\n| Only add missing data | When checked, AI only generates titles and descriptions for empty fields. |\r\n| AI Mode | Choose the AI generation scope: All, Missing only, Missing title, or Missing description. |\r\n| Post Language | Optional language code to use for AI output. |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n\r\n- **Use SEO filters to focus your work** \u2013 Start by filtering for items with missing titles or descriptions. This helps you quickly find and fix the most critical SEO gaps.\r\n- **Enable \"Only add missing data\" for safe batch generation** \u2013 If you\u2019ve already written good content, turn on this option so the AI only fills in blank fields, leaving your existing work unchanged.\r\n- **Work in manageable batches** \u2013 Adjust the **Per Page** setting to a comfortable number (e.g., 50) so you can review and edit items without scrolling too much. Use pagination to work through larger sets at your own pace.\r\n- **Leverage AI optimization for repetitive tasks** \u2013 When you have many items with similar content, check multiple rows and use **AI Optimize Selected** to generate consistent, high-quality metadata in one go.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Automation Queue\r\n\r\n### What It Does\r\nThe Automation Queue lets you schedule background AI optimization runs that process your content in batches. You can choose which types of content to optimize and set the optimization scope. The queue runs automatically via the WordPress cron system, and you can start, pause, or reset it while watching live progress and reviewing detailed run logs.\r\n\r\n### How to Use It\r\n1. Go to **SkySEOManager > Automation**.\r\n2. Set your preferences using the available settings (frequency, content types, and scope).\r\n3. Click **Start Automation Queue** to begin processing.\r\n4. Watch the progress bar and live stats to see how the queue is progressing.\r\n5. If you need to stop temporarily, click **Pause Queue**. To reset the queue and start over, click **Reset Queue**.\r\n6. Review the last run status and logs to check what was optimized.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| Queue Processing Frequency | How often the background worker runs (hourly, twicedaily, or daily). |\r\n| Content Types to Optimize | Which post types and taxonomies are included in the optimization. |\r\n| What Should Be Optimized | The scope of the optimization: missing any, missing title, missing description, or all. |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n- Start by optimizing only items that are missing titles or descriptions to see quick improvements before running a full optimization.\r\n- Keep an eye on the progress bar and live stats after starting the queue so you know it\u2019s running smoothly.\r\n- Use the **Pause** and **Reset** buttons if you need to adjust your settings or halt processing for any reason.\r\n- Regularly check the run logs to confirm that your content is being optimized as expected.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Semantic AI Internal Linking\r\n\r\n### What It Does\r\nThis feature builds a semantic content index using vector embeddings, then runs AI-powered internal linking to discover and apply contextual link opportunities across your posts. It supports resumable batches, provides a link graph mindmap for visualization, and maintains an activity trail so you can review, apply, or undo suggestions.\r\n\r\n### How to Use It\r\n1. Go to **SkySEOManager > Internal Linking** tab.\r\n2. **(Optional)** Adjust the settings under **Settings & Options** to match your preferences (post types, max links per post, candidate pool size).\r\n3. Click **Build Semantic Index** to generate vector embeddings for all content. This step prepares your site for linking analysis.\r\n4. Once indexing is complete, click **Start Internal Linking Run** to begin finding contextual link opportunities.\r\n5. Monitor progress using the **Status** indicator. You can **Pause \/ Resume** the run at any time, or click **Reset run** to start over.\r\n6. After processing, review the **Recent Activity** table to see suggested links.\r\n7. For any suggestion, click **Apply** to insert the link, or **Delete\/Undo** to remove or revert an applied suggestion.\r\n8. To see the full picture of how your content is connected, open the **mindmap visualization**.\r\n9. For a single post, use the **Editor Internal Linking** feature from the post editor to see and manage links for that specific page.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| Post types to process | Which post types are included in indexing and linking analysis. |\r\n| Max links per post | The maximum number of internal links to insert per post (range: 1\u201310). |\r\n| Candidate pool size | The number of candidate results considered per post when finding link opportunities (range: 5\u201320). |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n- **Build the index first** \u2013 Always run **Build Semantic Index** before starting a linking run. This ensures the AI has a complete map of your content.\r\n- **Check the Recent Activity table regularly** \u2013 Suggestions appear there as the run progresses. You can apply or ignore them immediately without waiting for the run to finish.\r\n- **Use the mindmap to spot gaps** \u2013 The link graph visualization helps you see which posts are well-connected and which might need more internal links.\r\n- **Adjust candidate pool size for larger sites** \u2013 If your site has many posts, a larger candidate pool (e.g., 15\u201320) can uncover better link suggestions, but may increase processing time.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## AI Schema Builder\r\n### What It Does\r\nThe AI Schema Builder automatically scans your content and generates structured data markup (Schema.org types like FAQPage, HowTo, and Recipe) using artificial intelligence. It creates candidate schema snippets that you can approve or reject, and once approved, the valid JSON\u2011LD code is added to the head of the page for search engines.\r\n\r\n### How to Use It\r\n1. Go to **SkySEO Manager > AI Schema Builder** tab.\r\n2. Under **Post types to process**, select the content types you want to scan (e.g., posts, pages, custom post types). \r\n3. Click **Start AI Schema Generation** to begin scanning the selected post types. \r\n - The system will analyze each post for text that matches FAQ, HowTo, or Recipe patterns. \r\n4. Monitor the generation queue: you can **Pause**, **Resume**, or **Reset** the queue at any time. \r\n5. After scanning, review the candidate schemas listed for each post. \r\n - To accept a schema, click **Approve**. \r\n - To discard a schema, click **Reject**. \r\n - If a previously approved schema is no longer correct, use **Revoke** to remove it from the frontend. \r\n6. To see the complete history and status of every schema, view the **Schema history** section. \r\n7. You can also analyze a single post directly from the **post editor** \u2013 look for the AI Schema Builder option in the editor sidebar.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| Post types to process | Which post types are scanned for automatic schema generation |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n- **Start small** \u2013 Begin with one post type (e.g., \u201cPosts\u201d) to see how the AI performs before enabling all types. \r\n- **Review each candidate** \u2013 AI suggestions are high quality but still benefit from a quick manual check to ensure accuracy and enforce your brand voice. \r\n- **Revoke outdated schemas** \u2013 If you update content after a schema has been approved, revoke the old schema and run a new scan to keep structured data current. \r\n- **Use the single\u2011post analysis** \u2013 For important pages like landing pages or unique posts, trigger a scan from the editor to get schema markup without waiting for a full site scan.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)\r\n### What It Does\r\nThis feature helps you analyze your pages to see if they are ready to be cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. It uses a hybrid analysis (on-device scanning combined with AI) to evaluate your content across 20 readiness factors, then shows pass\/fail scores along with actionable suggestions for improvement.\r\n\r\n### How to Use It\r\n1. Go to **SkySEOManager** and open the **GEO** tab.\r\n2. In the **Post Types** setting, choose which types of content you want to analyze (these are the post types that are enabled in your SEO Box settings).\r\n3. Click **Start Full Site Analysis** to begin scanning your pages.\r\n4. While the scan is running, you can use **Pause** or **Resume** to control the process.\r\n5. Once the analysis is complete, review the factor breakdown table. Click **View** on any result to open a detailed modal that shows pass\/fail status for each factor.\r\n6. For individual posts, you can also run a GEO analysis directly from the post editor.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| Post Types | Which post types to include in the analysis (based on the types enabled in your SEO Box) |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n- Focus on factors that receive a **fail** score\u2014each comes with a specific fix suggestion to help improve your content's AI citation readiness.\r\n- Run a full site analysis periodically to keep your content adapted as AI answer engines evolve.\r\n- Before publishing new content, use the single\u2011post analysis from the editor to check its GEO readiness early.\r\n- Pay special attention to factors like **Topic Match**, **Freshness**, **Evidence**, and **Comparisons**, as these often influence whether AI engines reference your content.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Indexing & SEO Settings\r\n\r\n### What It Does\r\n\r\nControl where the SEO editor box appears on your site. Set default indexing rules (noindex\/nofollow) for post types and taxonomies, and configure dynamic SEO title and description templates using variables. Manage global social media profile URLs, a fallback social image, and image alt\u2011text automation.\r\n\r\n### How to Use It\r\n\r\n1. Go to **SkySEOManager > General** (under the Site Configuration group).\r\n2. Switch between the available sub\u2011tabs: **SEO Settings**, **Robots Meta**, **Title & Meta Templates**, **Social**, and **Image SEO**.\r\n3. Adjust the settings in each sub\u2011tab as needed.\r\n4. All changes are saved as a group when you click the save button.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| SEO Box Placement - Post Types | Select which post types show the SEO editor panel |\r\n| SEO Box Placement - Taxonomies | Select which taxonomies show SEO meta fields |\r\n| Default noindex post types & taxonomies | Apply `noindex` meta to all items in selected types |\r\n| Default nofollow post types & taxonomies | Apply `nofollow` meta to all items in selected types |\r\n| Dynamic Title Templates | Format for SEO titles per content type using `%title%`, `%sitename%`, `%sep%`, etc. |\r\n| Dynamic Description Templates | Format for meta descriptions per content type using variables |\r\n| Twitter @username | Global Twitter handle for Twitter Card tags |\r\n| Facebook Page URL | Global Facebook page URL for Open Graph |\r\n| Default Fallback Image | Fallback OG\/Twitter image when a post has no featured image |\r\n| Twitter Card Type | `summary` or `summary_large_image` |\r\n| LinkedIn URL | LinkedIn company profile URL |\r\n| Instagram URL | Instagram profile URL |\r\n| YouTube URL | YouTube channel URL |\r\n| Pinterest URL | Pinterest profile URL |\r\n| FB App ID | Facebook App ID for Open Graph |\r\n| Pinterest Verification Tag | Pinterest domain verification meta tag |\r\n| Image SEO - Auto-add alt text | Automatically add missing alt attributes to images |\r\n| Image SEO - Alt text format | Format for auto-generated alt text using `%title%` and `%filename%` |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n\r\n- **Use template variables** \u2013 In your dynamic title and description templates, include placeholders like `%title%`, `%sitename%`, and `%sep%` to create consistent, brand\u2011friendly formats across all content types.\r\n- **Set a fallback social image** \u2013 Choose a default image for posts that lack a featured image. This ensures your content always has a visual when shared on social platforms.\r\n- **Be selective with noindex\/nofollow** \u2013 Only apply noindex or nofollow to archives or content that truly doesn\u2019t need to be indexed (e.g., tag pages, internal search results) to avoid harming your site\u2019s overall search presence.\r\n- **Enable auto\u2011alt text for images** \u2013 Turn on automatic alt text and define a format that includes the post title and file name. This improves accessibility and gives search engines more context for your images.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Post\/Page SEO Editor Box\r\n\r\n### What It Does\r\nThis feature adds a full SEO panel directly inside the WordPress post, page, and taxonomy term editor. You can set focus keywords, a custom SEO title, and a meta description\u2014all with a live preview of how your page will appear in search results.

All field changes are auto\u2011saved \u2013 there is no need to click a separate save button.\r\n\r\n### Settings & Options\r\n| Setting | What It Controls |\r\n|---------|------------------|\r\n| Focus Keyword(s) | Comma\u2011separated keywords that represent the main topic of the post. |\r\n| SEO Title | Custom title tag for search results; shows character count and length score. |\r\n| Meta Description | Custom description for search results; shows character count and length score. |\r\n| Noindex | Adds a `noindex` robots meta tag to prevent the post from appearing in search results. |\r\n| Nofollow | Adds a `nofollow` robots meta tag to instruct search engines not to follow links on the post. |\r\n| Canonical URL | Overrides the default canonical URL with a custom address. |\r\n| OG Title | Custom Open Graph title used when the post is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. |\r\n| OG Description | Custom Open Graph description for social shares. |\r\n| OG Image | Custom Open Graph image URL for social shares. |\r\n| Twitter Title | Custom Twitter Card title for tweets. |\r\n| Twitter Description | Custom Twitter Card description for tweets. |\r\n| Twitter Image | Custom Twitter Card image URL for tweets. |\r\n\r\n### Tips & Best Practices\r\n- **Focus on one primary keyword** \u2013 Use a single, well\u2011researched focus keyword per post to keep your content tightly targeted. Adding too many can dilute the page\u2019s relevance.\r\n- **Monitor SEO title and meta description length** \u2013 The character counts and length scores help you stay within search engine display limits. Aim for titles under 60 characters and descriptions around 155\u2013160 characters.\r\n- **Leverage the live SERP preview** \u2013 As you edit the SEO title and description, the preview updates instantly. Use this to test how your listing will look before publishing.\r\n- **Customise social media previews** \u2013 Set distinct OG and Twitter fields for each post to control the image, title, and description shown when your content is shared \u2013 this can improve click\u2011through rates on social platforms.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## XML Sitemap Generator\r\n\r\n### What It Does\r\nCreate dynamic XML sitemaps that help search engines discover and index your content. The sitemap includes post-type and taxonomy-specific indexes, with optional image and video tags. If you use TranslatePress, multilingual variants are automatically generated.
