Other features of SmartCrawl Pro

Automated SEO Health Audits & Reports

Scan your site any moment to detect issues such as technical SEO errors, sitemap and URL structure, indexing, schema and more.

Automatic Sitemaps & Search Engine Notifications

The sitemap created by this plugin automatically includes every post, page or other content type you wish to include in its sitemap. Any sitemap type is included too.

Additionally, SmartCrawl offers also this feature to update and notify search engines about new content or changes on old content.

You can also create different sitemaps for different versions of your site, for example if you have several languages.

Control how your pages appear in search results by editing your titles and meta descriptions.

You can also choose how your content appears in social networks using OpenGraph.

Automatic Internal Linking & Redirects

You can configure SmartCrawl to automatically turn specified keywords into internal (or external) links throughout your site. This helps distribute link equity and improve internal navigation.

And easily create and manage redirects if you change page URLs or restructure your site. SmartCrawl supports advanced redirects, including regex and location-based rules.

Schema & Structured Data

SmartCrawl includes built-in support for many schema.org types:

Article
Book
Course
Event
FAQ Page
How To
Job Posting
Local Business
Movie
Product
Recipe
Software Application
WooCommerce Product
Custom Type

Add or customize schema markup without touching code. This helps search engines understand the meaning behind your content, which can improve rich snippet display in search results.

Content Analysis & Readability

While editing a post, SmartCrawl analyzes your content for SEO factors like keyphrase usage (including multiple keyphrases), meta data, image alt attributes, content length, keyword density, and more.

Built-in readability analysis helps make your content more user-friendly and accessible, which is good for both readers and SEO.

WooCommerce & Ecommerce SEO

SmartCrawl includes SEO optimization presets for WooCommerce, helping you optimize product and shop pages with proper metadata, schema, etc.

If you run an online store, this is a big plus, because well-optimized product pages can drive organic traffic and conversions.
