Pigeon SEO gives every post and term the metadata search engines read: titles, descriptions, focus keywords, social previews and schema, plus the site-wide plumbing — an XML sitemap, a robots.txt editor and IndexNow pings.
AI generation of titles, descriptions and keywords is a Premium feature; everything listed under Free features below works without an account.
Free features include:
- Meta title, description and focus keyword editing, with a live Google preview
- Social previews for Facebook / Open Graph and X
- XML sitemap with automatic ping on publish
- IndexNow — instant search engine notifications (Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver)
- Robots.txt editor
- Optional 404 logging — records which URLs are missed, and how often
- Site representation (organisation schema)
- Schema.org structured data output
- Import SEO data from Yoast SEO
- Post type and taxonomy SEO settings
- SEO score column in post lists
Premium features (Pigeon SEO Premium):
- AI-generated meta titles, descriptions and focus keywords, one at a time or in bulk — generation runs on the seopigeon.com service, so there is no AI provider key to obtain or enter
- Unlimited redirects manager (301 / 302)
- CSV import / export of redirects
- Import redirects from Yoast SEO
- Priority support
External Services
This plugin connects to the following third-party services. By installing and using this plugin you agree to their respective terms of service and privacy policies.
This plugin contacts one service, and only when you switch it on.
1. IndexNow API (api.indexnow.org)
Used for: Notifying participating search engines (Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver and others) when a post or page is published, updated or removed, so they can recrawl it sooner. Only active when the administrator enables IndexNow in Settings. When enabled, the public URL of the changed post/page (and nothing else) is submitted automatically on publish/update/delete.
- Service URL: https://www.indexnow.org
- Terms of Service: https://www.indexnow.org/faq
- Privacy Policy: https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/indexnow-faq-c56f0c2c
No personal data about your site visitors is ever sent anywhere. Apart from IndexNow, this plugin makes no outbound requests at all: AI generation lives in Pigeon SEO Premium, which is a separate download.
