WordPress SEO done as plugin configuration plus durable custom code, with each fix attached to the right layer of the system:

  1. Enforces a single SEO plugin, Rank Math or Yoast, never both, because duplicate schemas and sitemaps cancel each other out in search results.
  2. Injects page-type-aware schema through mu-plugins at the correct hook priority: Article on posts, Product plus Offer on WooCommerce, LocalBusiness on the front page, so theme updates cannot wipe the code.
  3. Wires bidirectional hreflang for WPML or Polylang multilingual setups, including the x-default fallback, so each language version points at the others correctly.
  4. Hardens crawl budget: robots.txt blocks search and admin paths, attachment pages redirect to their parents, thin tag archives get noindex, and paginated canonicals point to page one.
  5. Keeps the plugin stack lean: SEO needs that fit in a mu-plugin snippet stay out of the plugin list, keeping autoload overhead near zero.
  6. Validates the result: Rich Results Test on every schema type, bidirectional hreflang check, sitemap submission and a single-H1 sweep across templates.

Questions · still in the air

Catch what's on your mind.

the air is clear. nothing between you and the forge.
catch a spark: the forge will answer

  1. I already run Rank Math. What does this add on top of the plugin?

    The parts plugins do not cover well: custom JSON-LD via mu-plugins with zero autoload overhead, multilingual hreflang for WPML/Polylang, WooCommerce product schema and canonicals, pagination canonical fixes and crawl-budget rules. The plugin matrix also sanity-checks whether Rank Math is even the right choice for your stack.

  2. Why mu-plugins instead of just installing another plugin for each need?

    Every extra plugin adds autoload weight and update risk; mu-plugin patterns run SEO logic with effectively no overhead. The skill also enforces a single-SEO-plugin rule, because two SEO plugins produce duplicate schema and conflicting sitemaps.

  3. Does it bulk-update meta across hundreds of pages?

    No, that is the wordpress-rank-math-mcp-bulk skill. This one is the implementation layer: setting up schema per page type, hreflang, sitemaps, canonical URLs, content silos and Core Web Vitals correctly on a WordPress site.

  4. How is it delivered?

    By email right after purchase: ready to run, downloaded instantly, no setup wait.
