<p><strong>WP Smart SEO</strong> gives you full control over how your content appears in search engines and on social media — without the overhead of a massive SEO suite.</p>
<p>Whether you run a blog, a business website or an online shop: every page, post and category gets its own SEO fields, and you decide exactly what the world sees.</p>
<h4>What WP Smart SEO generates for you</h4>
<p>For every <strong>Page, Post and Category</strong>, the plugin automatically outputs:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>og:type</code>, <code>og:title</code>, <code>og:description</code>, <code>og:image</code> — for perfect Facebook & LinkedIn previews</li>
<li><code>twitter:title</code>, <code>twitter:description</code>, <code>twitter:image</code> — for crisp Twitter/X cards</li>
<li><strong>Meta Robots Tag</strong> — fine-grained control with <code>index</code>, <code>follow</code>, <code>noindex</code>, <code>nofollow</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>🤖 AI Clipboard Buttons</h4>
<p>Working with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini? With a single click, WP Smart SEO copies your page text, blog post or product description — together with a ready-made prompt — straight to your clipboard. Paste it into your favourite AI and get an optimised SEO text in seconds.</p>
<p><em>Mit einem Klick den Seiteninhalt inklusive Prompt in die Zwischenablage kopieren und direkt in die lieblings-KI eingeben — SEO-Texte schneller als je zuvor.</em></p>
<h4>🌍 Multilingual</h4>
<p>WP Smart SEO is available in <strong>English</strong> and <strong>German</strong> — more languages welcome via the WordPress translation community.</p>
<h4>🔍 SEO Overview in Post & Page Lists</h4>
<p>Your SEO titles and descriptions are shown directly in the WordPress post and page overview — so you can spot missing or weak SEO texts at a glance, without opening every single entry.</p>
<h4>✏️ Smart Auto-Fill</h4>
<p>When you enter the page title, it is automatically pre-filled into the SEO title field — saving you time while still letting you customise it whenever you need to.</p>
<h4>📏 Character Counter</h4>
<p>Built-in character counters for title and description fields help you stay within the recommended lengths for Google — no guesswork required.</p>
