LTI SEO

In an effort to remain as lightweight as possible, LTI SEO will only add metadata information to the html header of your pages (the data won’t be visible on the page), and only specialized programs such as search engine bots will be able to parse and use that information.

It turns out that this metadata is fairly easy to generate and can make a ton of difference when it comes to the visibility of your content on the web. WordPress is very good at creating search engine friendly content; we simply take it one notch further!

Taking advantage of the Google Search Console

LTI SEO wants to make sure WordPress users know about the Search console by facilitating the process of adding and verifying sites directly from WordPress. Without these types of tools, it would be hard to assess whether our SEO efforts are worth putting time and effort into!
