SEO Engine – Smart SEO with AI, Schema & Redirection for WordPress for WordPress Plugin Directory

SEO Engine is the lightweight, intelligent SEO solution for WordPress. Built from scratch for modern websites, it combines powerful AI with clean code to help you rank better without slowing down your site.

Stop fighting bloated SEO plugins that promise everything while turning your WordPress into a slower experience! 😘

SEO Engine focuses on what actually matters: Content Quality and Technical Excellence. It implements AI in its free version and provides full MCP support. Explore our official site and check out the docs to get started.

Core Modules 🏝️ Content SEO

Analyze and optimize your content with AI-powered insights. Get real-time scores, actionable suggestions, and automated fixes—all from one clean dashboard.

🛠️ Technical SEO

All the SEO basics, straight to the point. No endless settings for features you don’t need—just what actually matters.

🪄 Magic Fix

Detected issues come with a quiet “fix” affordance — AI generates a concrete suggestion, you review it, you apply it. Internal links, ALT text, grammar, titles, excerpts, featured images. No bulk “fix everything” that rewrites your site behind your back.

🚦 Redirections & 404

A clean redirect manager paired with a 404 monitor. Spot broken links, convert any 404 into a redirect with one click, and let SEO Engine create 301s automatically when slugs change.

🧠 Intelligence Features

Full MCP support means your entire site’s SEO data is queryable via ChatGPT or Claude. Ask anything, get insights, automate workflows. That’s all in the free version.

🎯 Analytics & Tracking

Connect to Google Analytics, Plausible Analytics, or use built-in privacy-friendly tracking. Monitor AI bot visits, Core Web Vitals, and performance, all in one place.

🪄 Magic Fix Most plugins flag SEO issues; very few actually fix them. Magic Fix is SEO Engine’s AI-powered fixer — it sits next to each detected issue as a quiet, in-context affordance. Click it, and AI generates a concrete suggestion you can review before anything is written to your post. No bulk “fix everything” button that rewrites your site behind your back; every change is shown to you as a search/replace diff first.

Powered by AI Engine — bring your own provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.). All suggestions are generated in the post’s language (Polylang and WPML supported).

Internal Links — section-aware suggestions:

Extracts keywords from the current post, then builds a candidate pool from the same category, same tags, and keyword search

AI ranks the most relevant related posts and proposes link placements split by section: Introduction, Body, Conclusion

Multiple placement strategies per target — link existing text (preferred), add a short parenthetical, or insert a new sentence

You pick which option (or none) to apply per suggested target post

Polylang and WPML aware: only candidates in the same language; translations of the current post are excluded

ALT Text — contextual generation:

Scans post content for <img> tags missing or with empty alt attributes

Generates ALT using post title, content excerpt, image filename, and attachment title/caption as context

Constrained to short, plain functional descriptions (no “stunning”, “tranquil”, or “Image of…”)

Updates the existing <img> tag in place — preserves all other attributes

Up to 5 images per pass to keep the review surface manageable

Grammar & Typos — HTML-aware:

AI returns precise search/replace pairs with 3-5 words of surrounding context

Inline HTML inside the corrected phrase (<strong>, <em>, links) is preserved exactly

Each correction is shown before it’s applied; no blind rewrite of your prose

Title & Excerpt:

Rewrite titles to your configured length range (default 30-75 chars) without losing the meaning

Generate missing excerpts from content, or rewrite existing ones to a healthy 80-160 chars

External Links:

Suggests authoritative external references (Wikipedia and similar) for relevant in-content terms

Wraps existing phrases as links — never invents text

Featured Image:

Generates a featured image with AI when a post is missing one

Uploaded to your media library with proper title, description, and ALT text, then set as the post thumbnail

🚦 Redirections & 404 A focused redirect manager and 404 monitor that pair naturally: most 404s should become redirects, and the workflow is built around that.

Redirect Manager:

Exact-path redirects with 301, 302, 307, 308, and 410 Gone

Hit counter and last-hit timestamp on every rule, so you know which ones are useful

Sub-millisecond lookup on the front-end (object-cached, hashed, deferred writes)

Static assets (images, CSS, JS, fonts) skipped automatically — no log bloat

Optional auto 301 when a published post or page slug changes (off by default)

Regex match type with capture groups for advanced rewrites

404 Monitor:

Aggregated log — one row per unique URL, with hit count, first/last seen, and last referer

One-click “Convert to Redirect” from any 404 entry

Crawler filter so the log stays focused on real visitors

Path exclusions with wildcards (e.g. /feed*, /wp-admin/*)

Daily auto-prune with configurable retention
