Thich is very important for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) reasons, but it can also increase the usability of your website, making it more friendly and understandable for your visitors. [Take a look at the screenshots](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-seo/screenshots/) to see what it looks like and how it works. #### Features * **Change the page title of your posts and pages.** This is the title that you see in the title bar of your web browser. It is also the title that shows up in search engines like Google. * **Change the menu title label of your posts and pages.** This is the title that is shown in your menus/navigation. * Supports **custom post types**. * Make your post or page **more attractive** in Google’s search results (Google SERP). * Add additional **keywords synonyms** to your pages or posts. * Increase **usability** * **Nicely integrated** into WordPress. Looks like it was built into the core. * No settings, just activate the plugin and you’re ready to go. * Uses WordPress own custom fields, so **no extra database tables**. * Works with most themes and plugins. (Well.. at least that’s what I hope for… 😉 #### Why yet another SEO-plugin for WordPress? I felt that the existing plugins for WordPress Search Engine Optimization where a bit to complex and difficult to use, especially for new users of WordPress. Simple SEO aim to be a simple and unobtrusive alternative. #### Donation and more plugins * If you like this plugin don’t forget to [donate to support further development](http://eskapism.se/sida/donate/). * Check out some [more WordPress plugins by me](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/eskapism). ## Screenshots * [[ * Edit Page screen showing an article with modified/optimized Page Title and Menu Label.
