SiteSEO's free WordPress plugin sets titles and meta, checks posts against any number of keywords, builds sitemaps and pings Google's Indexing API and IndexNow. Schema types, breadcrumbs, redirects and 404 monitoring need Pro at $49 a year for one site, there's no trial, and its AI writing needs Pro plus token packs bought on top. - **Value for money: A.** Personal is $49 a year for 1 site, about $4.08 a month, under $4.79, which is 60% of where this category's cheaper quarter starts. Professional is $99 a year for 5 sites and Business $249 for unlimited sites. AI tokens cost extra. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The free plugin covers titles and meta, content analysis for unlimited keywords, XML and HTML sitemaps, social tags and instant indexing.

What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 67 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps we grade. It costs $49 a year. - You could make: Schema markup and internal linking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
