SEOPress – AI SEO Plugin & On-site SEO

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

1601 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 1426 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank vs rivals

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2.7 years ago; the previous band took 2.4 years to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   Migrated from wpSEO through Yoast to SEOPress and the data transfer was clean. Titles, descriptions, focus keywords, canonical URLs, all intact. The universal metabox works reliably across Gutenberg and Divi. Site Audit gives a solid overview of technical issues in minutes, with Search Console data right there. Big time-saver managing multiple client sites. No tracking, no unnecessary data footprint. A real plus for GDPR-conscious agency work. Support is fast and to the point. Clear recommendation for anyone switching from ?

   Très bon plugin à priori, la compatibilité avec Divi est un énorme plus pour ceux qui l’utilisent.

   SEOPress Pro is exactly what a production-ready SEO plugin should be. The white-label options, intuitive setup, and powerful automation for titles, metas, and schemas make managing client portfolios incredibly efficient. The plugin is rock-solid, updates are consistently stable, and the feature-to-price ratio is unmatched in the ecosystem. Randy BrelandPresident, LandTechWebDesigns.com

   I’ve tried various extensions before, but none of them have worked as well for me as SeoPress.
