About this plugin
Search engines and AI assistants build a picture of who you are from the entity data on your site. SameAs Profile Manager lets you declare that identity cleanly: pick Person or Organization, paste your profile URLs (LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Wikipedia, Wikidata, or anywhere else), and the plugin prints valid JSON-LD schema with a sameAs array in your site head.
It also includes built-in link verification. One click checks every URL you entered and shows you, per link, whether it is live (green), redirecting somewhere else (yellow, with a one-click “update to final URL” fix), or dead (red). Dead links in your entity data quietly undermine the identity signal you are trying to send — this plugin helps you catch them before they ship.
Features
- Person or Organization entity types, with fields that adapt: name, alternate name, job title, image for people; legal name, logo, founder for organizations.
- Unlimited sameAs URLs with automatic platform labels for LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Facebook, Instagram, GitHub, Crunchbase, IMDb, Wikidata, and Wikipedia.
- Dedicated Wikidata QID field — enter your QID (like Q42) and the plugin builds and validates the Wikidata URL for you, adding one of the strongest identity signals available to your sameAs array.
- Link verification — server-side checks with a 5-second timeout following up to 3 redirects, with per-link status and last-checked timestamps.
- Conflict detection — if Yoast SEO or Rank Math is already outputting Person/Organization schema, the plugin tells you and keeps its own output off by default, so you never ship duplicate entity declarations.
- Placement control — output on the front page only (default), on a specific page such as your About page, or sitewide. Conservative by default; no schema bloat on every URL.
- Live preview — see the exact JSON-LD that will be printed, plus a one-click link to test it in Google’s Rich Results tool.
Privacy and external services
This plugin makes no automatic external requests and sends nothing to us or to any third party. The only outbound requests it ever makes are the link verification checks — HTTP requests from your server to the URLs you entered, and only when you click the “Verify all links” button. No tracking, no phoning home.
Roadmap
- 1.1 — one-click import of existing profile URLs from Yoast SEO and Rank Math settings.
- 1.2 — per-author sameAs for multi-author sites (author archive ProfilePage schema).
- 1.3 — scheduled monthly re-verification with an email alert when a link goes dead.
- 2.0 — multiple entities, publisher markup, and WebSite schema.
