Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/mehran-mrn/simple-seo/archive/refs/heads/main.zipLightweight, site-agnostic technical and local SEO for WordPress.
Description
MRN SEO provides configurable titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph metadata, local business schema, FAQ schema, redirect rules, crawler controls, and a Yoast-compatible XML sitemap index. All organization identity and site-specific behavior is stored in WordPress settings. The plugin contains no theme, hostname, customer, industry, or website profiles.
Configuration
Open Settings > MRN SEO. Configure business identity, schema type, social images, homepage metadata, page-specific metadata, redirects, indexing rules, and sitemap exclusions.
Page metadata format: slug :: SEO title :: meta description
Redirect format: old-path | destination | 301
FAQ schema format: question | answer
The Import and export section downloads every supported settings key, including explicit empty values. Import validates the document format and replaces the current SEO settings.
