Description

Tired of bloated SEO plugins like Bloast SEO and friends that promise everything while turning your WordPress into a slower experience? Welcome to SEO Engine! We believe SEO should be elegant, not exhausting! ☀️

We built SEO Engine for people who want powerful SEO without the complexity. No 500+ option screens, no confusing features, just straightforward tools that help you rank better. We focus on what actually matters in modern SEO.

Content Optimization

Write content, click a button, and watch SEO Engine work its magic. Our AI-powered Magic Fix instantly optimizes titles and descriptions, while our SEO scoring system gives you clear A-F grades. We analyze readability, keywords, and structure, then actually fix the problems instead of just complaining about them.

Website Health & Speed

Your site’s performance affects rankings more than any meta tag ever will. SEO Engine integrates Google PageSpeed Insights to monitor your Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and loading times.

Tracking & Analytics

Connect directly to Google Cloud, no expensive third-party services acting as middlemen with your data. Get your Google Analytics metrics, track keyword rankings, and monitor performance straight from the source.

Technical SEO

Generate clean sitemaps that search engines actually want to read. Edit your robots.txt without breaking everything. Handle redirects, canonical URLs, and multi-language sites… without installing five different plugins! It just works.

AI

When paired with AI Engine, SEO Engine becomes your content optimization assistant. Generate meta descriptions, suggest keywords, and bulk-optimize your entire site. This isn’t “AI” slapped on as a marketing term. It’s genuinely useful automation that saves hours.

Stop letting your SEO plugin slow down your site. Join the rebellion against bloat! 🏝️

FAQ

Is SEO Engine really faster than other SEO plugins?: Yes. We’ve built SEO Engine from the ground up with performance in mind. No legacy code, no feature bloat. Just clean, modern code that does SEO right.
Can I import my data from other SEO plugins?: Absolutely! SEO Engine can import your SEO data from Yoast and RankMath, making the switch seamless.
Do I need AI Engine for all features?: No, SEO Engine works great on its own. AI Engine unlocks additional AI-powered features like Magic Fix and content generation, but core SEO functionality works without it.
Is this suitable for large websites?: Yes! SEO Engine is designed to scale. Our bulk operations and efficient code make it perfect for sites of any size.

Update, now it work, but can’t find solution to improve the text using AI, I can only see for the titles and the description. Finally, I need to find out whether it is possible or not in the support.

This is the eighth SEO plugin I’ve tried and one of only two I actually like. For large sites this is my number one choice, and if pressed it would be my number two and number three choice too. It does essentially the same as many others, but somehow makes the job much easier. Only time will tell the real-world effectiveness, but looking at the page sources, it seems to be doing what I want.

I use it for translating the site to other language and adding excerpts, also editing headings to more SEO friendly. It has a useful option for editing posts from the list of entries, too. Despite I have 2 more similar plugins, I prefer to use this one as it is more user friendly. Minus – it often makes headings in English (not in the target language), thus I need to translate them manually. But still it makes my job much easier and pleasant

I found this great plugin that really gives good guidance for SEO and I have improved the ranking of a lot of my pages really easily.

I had to figure out how to use the app myself as I didn’t find any meaningful help from the documentation. I’ve assumed that the fault was mine so I soldiered on until I started to get pretty colours on the “wheel”. Despite the above mentioned shortcoming, I gave the app a 5 star recommendation, and would commend the app as very useful for the intended purpose.
