Overview

About this plugin

AI-powered SEO for WordPress — built for Google rankings and the new era of AI search.

Search Atlas connects your WordPress site to the Search Atlas platform and its OTTO AI optimization engine, automating the technical SEO work that used to take hours. Optimize for traditional search engines and for AI answer engines (GEO — Generative Engine Optimization), publish content in one click, and manage your entire on-page SEO from a single dashboard.

OTTO — AI SEO on autopilot

OTTO server-side optimizes your pages for search crawlers and AI engines: meta titles and descriptions, image alt text, headings, and internal links are applied automatically, without changing your theme. Roll fixes out across up to 100 pages at once, exclude any URL, and optionally save optimizations into native WordPress fields so they persist even if you switch tools.

Get found in AI search (GEO)

txt endpoint serves clean, AI-readable content to AI crawlers such as ChatGPT and Perplexity — so your site can surface in AI answers and AI Overviews, not just classic search results.

One-click publishing from Search Atlas

Push blog posts, landing pages, and content updates straight from the Search Atlas dashboard to WordPress — complete with optimized titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, formatted headings, and internal links.

  • Redirection manager — 5 match types (exact, wildcard, regex, contains, start/end) and 5 status codes (301/302/307/410/451), with automatic redirects on slug changes
  • 404 monitoring with hit tracking and smart redirect suggestions
  • Breadcrumb schema, canonical URLs, and hreflang (multi-language) support
  • Open Graph and Twitter Card meta with automatic de-duplication
