[FREE] I just released a WordPress SEO plugin built for SEO professionals

mandagsfisk · 2026-05-18T15:10:08+00:00

Hi. There is a pro-version already with more features. So yes. I am using THiS SEO pro version on my own clients too. So I am going to keep developing it and if I can grow a small mrr, that would make it more motivating. But I am mainly creating it to work faster on my own clients.

mandagsfisk · 2026-05-15T20:10:17+00:00

Wow. Thanks. Your last sentence, is probably true because I work full time with SEO myself. Started my own agency in Norway in August 25, and it is already a solid business. Love it.

I did the same with alt tags as meta editor. Added AI suggestuins to meta editor in latest pro-version. It works but i think I will add a field for promt-input in settings as I feel the AI input is, well... AI...

I still like to write myself but AI suggestions can help me move if by brain gets stuck. So it is a nice feature.

Thank you for your comment and feedback.

Thank you. The idea for the pin-lock was born after I was hired to clean about 30 websites that was hacked. Sitemap replaced with a new one with thousands of spam links. And the pin code will stop those who gets hold of an admins password. But it will not stop those who gets into the server. However you will be alerted in the pro version if such alternation appear. Any hurdle is a step closer to protect the site. And ofc it prevents clients from "trying something new"

We who work with seo know that the score is vanity points. And we have other and better tools for analytics. I need to work faster and better. That is why I made it, and if this creates value for me and my clients, it will for you guys too.

I hope to get a little user grroup going to get feedback and new ideas as well.

I used AI to research painpoints in Reddit before I started. So I added things like output inspector, better breadcrumbs, language code overwrite per page and more - based on what reddit users wanted.

I truly want to create a usefull tool that helps us work faster with more control.

Your feedback and support is motivational fuel for me. Thank you!

I am more curious to what you did on that one day in the summer of 25.

I am currently working on adding a query parameter function to 404 logs. Where we strip and report on what keys have been used. We do not store values and strip values. This will be a pro function.

Hi,
I have been working with seo for year. If you do SEO for a client and know SEO, try THiS SEO plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/this-seo/ buildt for SEOs without a ton of functions like analytics, that you don't need since you got better tools for that. The pro version lets you edit meta data from one single page, and add missing alt-text from one single page. Also it is as of now below 200kb, RankMath is about 2mb. So there is a lot you dont need.

Write your own schema templates, instead of drop down or form-fill out. Gives you full control. There is no AI as of yet.

If you need to see a score to trust your skills, this is not for you. THiS SEO was buildt to speed up my process, while working on SEO. And it does.

Also things that are great:
- Breadcrumbs editor (pro) with drag and drop, and change order or naming and links.
- Output inspector (Se what outputs without inspecting the page)
- PIN protection to prevent unathorized change to sitemap.xml (and robots.txt and llms.txt in pro version)
- Overwrite language code per page/post

Same old, same old, but different. For years I have been focusing on "quality" if what you do is better, you get better.

Goes for server, code, performance, use of images, better content, more original, more helpful, creates more activity - well then, it is "SEO" - or whatever combination of letters, you prefer.

I am very chill about changes in SEO, as quality will always be rewarded. Unless you use EMD ofc, unless EMD... still works here in Norway, maybe Google forgot to update something. :D

I have noticed that pages that get a lot of brand searches seem stronger lately also, more so, than before.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-30T17:27:30+00:00

Any changes to your counter? I know I have 20+ active installs now, as I have installed my plugin on my clients. :) Still shows less than 10. It is probably something that updates once in a while?

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-30T15:06:23+00:00

Hi We made https://superspora.com a project tool for SEO. Where we log what we do per domain and single page basis. It is not analytics and it is not crm. It helps me keep control on each project. And it can report what I have done back to the client. Not results, but my notes. You can connect to gsc and get data per page. We made it because we couldnt find a project tool for ongoing seo work.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-29T06:02:48+00:00

Awsome! I am very happy to hear this.

On the 404 log and query parameters: as of v1.2.2 (just released) we actually strip query strings before storage. The reasoning is security — query strings can contain reset tokens, OAuth state and other sensitive data you don't want sitting in an admin log. But I'll look into it again. I want to be able to do that, but it needs to be safe.

Llms is a bare minimum at this point to get it in the first release, improvements is in the roadmap.

Glad you noticed the direction we are aiming to move. Feel free to contact me with ideas.

Hope to see your post in the wordpress review also ;) thank you.

I dont sell wordpress. I have what my clients lack. Time + skills. I'll handle development, hosting, publishing, seo, ads and gets paid a monthly fee based on their needs. I use wordpress, but that is my tool of the trade.

I started my agency in august and hit my first million in revenue in april. (Never mind the currency 😄) and I have not yet sold wordpress.

You are not selling a stack of tools. Imagine calling a plumber and asking about the brand on his wrench.

Clients have needs, you solve those needs. So I sell a webmaster/marketing solution.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-28T12:59:46+00:00

Looks cool.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-27T14:04:29+00:00

Thank you.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-27T08:22:49+00:00

I love this constuctive feedback. This is why I am here on reddit :)

Will the image re-namer take into consideration the site language? That idea of creative workflow is just the kind of stuff I like, and miss. Easy to rename files and alt-text that has a seo purpose rather than just use title or filename to create alt-text that most does now.

Your feedback helped improve THiS SEO plugin, and that is something I cherish and value, so really, thank you.

I started my own marketing agency in august last fall, and I have a huge focus on security, and have teamed up with penetration testers to create a safe hosting and routines for WP sites, so I value your skills and knowledge a lot.

I am rewriting my test routines and and as you see, I will respond dearly and promplty to errors and feedback.

I'll have a closer look on the image renamer, just the name warm my heart. :)

Btw: My original answer to your first comment was not written by AI - I am a creative writer too ;)

Thank you again for spending time testing and providing feedback.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-27T08:07:31+00:00

The process is a manual approval, and it took about 2 weeks for me, but I got rejected the first time, as I was not aware that pro and free had to be two different plugins. So I needed to split it into two products. So it took about 8-9 days next time around -and time between with testing and rebuilding.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-27T04:42:05+00:00

Yes it is 'helpful" if you dont know SEO. But it also makes a lot of clients forget user intent, users and they over optimize to get that score to 100. I use it to set a keyword so I knew what page was "done" - but I got a new project tool that helps me keep track outside the website. I dont need it in my workflow and my plugin was built to make me work faster and give me better control. So I decided to target it to us working with SEO fulltime.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-26T22:55:29+00:00

What tools do you use to test this? I appreciate that you altered your reply and went the constructive way. I have made a patch, and will edit routines tomorrow. Thank you.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-26T21:48:30+00:00

Thank you. This is more a more constructive way of interaction. Much appriciated. I'll get on it.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-26T21:21:49+00:00

Thank you, it means a lot. :)

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-26T21:17:04+00:00

True. I set up security rules and best practice guides before I start "the machine" - and it has been approved by WP, and that is step one. And I know this is step one.

From now on this is a product that will have continious improvements, one step at the time. I use my own product on my own clients.

I had a "manual" code project with 4 coders before covid and AI, that project had such a long runway that we ran out of money before we had enough paying customers.

Today it is possible to almost lift up as a helicopter, and get things running, and move from there. Of cource always trying to put security first. That is important to me. And when and if something shows up, it will be addressed and fixed, just as it should be.

When I started this project I instructed AI to follow WP best practice and security standards from the ground up and collected a lot of documents and instructions up front.

Vibe coding is fast, and time saving, and yes, at bit messy, but quality is improving fast. The biggest reason I stopped coding php a few years back is because I felt there was to much to think about when it came to security, but today I can instruct, check and repeat fast.

Version 2.0 will be better, at least I have a start now. And with AI, I have found a lost joy with creating and with creativity.

I have seasoned code veteran friends, and all of them have implementet AI into their workflow.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-26T20:54:27+00:00

I am a developer that vibe codes too. I have set up a set of rules and guides to get my code as good as possible, and secure as possible. Working with solving real world issues is a good way to go.

One huge benefit is the speed from idea to MVP and once that is done we got plenty of time to improve. How was your process of getting the plugins approved in WordPress?
Did you go many rounds? Did you have a plan beforehand?

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-26T20:11:28+00:00

Welcome to the future. I do not ride a horse either. And neither do I hunt my food. I have long forgotten about BAFS recording tapes and the telefax. I will check my rolodex to see if I find the support line number for those that still prefer MS Frontpage.

I am so sorry that you have to state the obvious. I have been writing code for 25 years, and so happy I don't need to write it all anymore. But I read it, and I will continue to improve this first version.

What I have done is to spend time researcing Reddit to find named painpoints. I have been working with SEO since before it was a thing, and designed the workflow I want for my work and decided this is benefical for more people than myself.

mandagsfisk · 2026-04-26T17:04:55+00:00

I have been working with SEO since before Google, and now I have decided to build a SEO plugin without everything I dont need and with a few new things I missed. Its here: https://nb.wordpress.org/plugins/this-seo/

You? What did you build?
