It does not generate content using AI, it does not track your competitors, and it does not sell you upgrades. Most importantly, it does not phone home or collect user data—your SEO strategy stays on your server. It is designed to coexist safely with other SEO suites like Yoast or Rank Math, allowing you to gradually transition or use Active Twist as a lightweight alternative for specific deployments. When Active Twist SEO output is enabled, it takes explicit ownership of canonical tags to ensure a single, deterministic source of truth.
