Built for practitioners, not marketing teams. Coaches, healers, authors, and podcasters who need to be findable without compromising their voice.<\/p>\n\n
Why Sanctuary Tiger for 2026 AI search<\/h4>\n\n
More than half of all Google searches now end without a click to any website (SparkToro\/Datos), and that share climbs further whenever an AI Overview appears. The game isn't just ranking anymore \u2014 it's being cited inside the answer. That's called Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO.<\/p>\n\n
Sanctuary Tiger is built for GEO:<\/p>\n\n
Entity clarity first.<\/strong> Organization, Person, LocalBusiness, WebPage, BreadcrumbList, Article, and FAQPage schema in the free plugin. Service, Book, Event, Course, Product, Review, Video, and Podcast schema in Pro. Custom JSON-LD merges into the @graph without overwriting.<\/p>\n\nE-E-A-T by default.<\/strong> Real Person schema with author bios, not \"Admin.\" Your credentials travel with every post so Google and AI systems have something to attribute the byline to.<\/p>\n\nCitation-ready meta (Pro).<\/strong> AI Meta Generation writes titles, meta descriptions, and Open Graph fields in your voice. The AI Citation Optimizer rewrites a passage into fact-forward, quotable variations. We don't publish a specific lift number for this \u2014 the plugin's own AI Mentions tracker now lets you check what's actually correlating with citations on your own site, rather than relying on a claimed industry average.<\/p>\n\nLightweight, free, and built to stay that way.<\/strong> No jQuery dependency added, no dashboard ads, no account or API key required for the free plugin. Title tags with safe fallback for themes that don't declare title-tag support, correct index\/noindex handling, canonical URLs everywhere, a visual robots.txt editor, and real-time readability that runs client-side as you type \u2014 with word-form matching, so \"coach\" also recognizes \"coaches\" and \"coaching.\"<\/p>\n\nA real broken-link scanner, free.<\/strong> The SEO Health dashboard checks every internal link (HEAD-checked, async, cached) and flags what's broken, with one-click import straight into the Redirect Manager. Auto Internal Linking \u2014 suggesting and inserting relevant internal links as you publish \u2014 is a Pro feature.<\/p>\n\nWordPress 7.0 native (Pro AI features).<\/strong> Pro's AI features route entirely through the WordPress AI Client and Abilities API \u2014 you pick your provider once under Settings \u2192 Connectors, and Sanctuary Tiger never calls an AI provider directly. The free plugin makes zero AI calls of any kind; nothing here requires an account or API key unless you're using Pro's AI tools.<\/p>\n\nNo account, no API key, no license required for the free plugin. Automatically disables duplicate title\/meta\/canonical\/OG\/schema output from Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, Jetpack, and Google Site Kit if any of those are also active \u2014 so you never end up with two competing sets of tags.<\/p>\n\n
A note on FAQ schema and llms.txt<\/h4>\n\n
Google retired the visible FAQ rich-result accordion on May 7, 2026 \u2014 but FAQPage schema remains valid and harmless to keep. Worth being direct about the rest, though: no search engine or AI vendor has confirmed that FAQ markup itself drives AI citation. What multiple independent 2026 studies agree on is that visible, well-structured answer content is what gets cited \u2014 the markup describes it, it doesn't create it. We keep FAQPage schema available because it's free to include and accurately describes real content, not because it's a confirmed citation lever.<\/p>\n\n
Google's own June 2026 guidance is also explicit that it does not use llms.txt for Search or AI Overviews, and has no plans to. If you want one anyway for other AI tools that do read it, you're welcome to add it manually \u2014 it won't help or hurt with Google either way.<\/p>\n\n
What's included:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- Document title tags, with safe fallback handling for themes that don't declare
title-tag<\/code> support<\/li>\n- Meta descriptions, with sensible fallbacks (excerpt, term description, author bio)<\/li>\n
- Canonical URLs on every page and post type<\/li>\n
- Robots meta \u2014 correct index\/noindex handling on search, 404, and attachment pages automatically<\/li>\n
- Open Graph and Twitter Card tags<\/li>\n
- Core Schema.org structured data: Organization, Person, LocalBusiness, WebPage\/WebSite, BreadcrumbList, Article, and FAQPage<\/li>\n
- XML sitemaps<\/li>\n
- A database-backed 301\/302 redirect manager, including wildcard matching and per-redirect hit counts<\/li>\n
- A one-click broken-internal-link scanner and cleanup tool<\/li>\n
- Real-time SEO health checks for thin content, missing titles, and duplicate meta descriptions<\/li>\n
- Real-time readability & content analysis in the post editor \u2014 focus keyword placement (with word-form matching, so \"coach\" also recognizes \"coaches\" or \"coaching\"), keyword density, reading ease score, sentence length, passive voice, transition words, paragraph length, and subheading distribution, all scored live as you write<\/li>\n
- Automatic alt text fallback \u2014 fills in missing image alt text on upload from the attachment title or filename, plus a Media Library bulk action to backfill existing images. Never overwrites alt text you've already set.<\/li>\n
- A visual robots.txt editor<\/li>\n
- Settings import\/export<\/li>\n
- Migrate Data \u2014 copies titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, and Open Graph fields over automatically from Yoast SEO or Rank Math, so switching plugins doesn't mean starting from scratch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Optional Pro add-on<\/h4>\n\n
An optional Pro add-on is available separately (not through WordPress.org) for sites that want AI-assisted writing tools, AI Mention & GEO tracking with an AI Citation Optimizer, advanced Schema types (Service, Book, Events, Courses, Products, Reviews, Video, Podcast), Auto Internal Linking, Core Web Vitals monitoring, multi-location SEO, programmatic page generation, Google Search Console rank tracking, and other advanced features. The free plugin works completely independently of it.<\/p>\n\n

External Services<\/h3>\n\n
This plugin connects to the following external services under specific conditions:<\/p>\n\n
WordPress AI Client (optional, Pro add-on only)<\/h4>\n\n
AI-powered features (Pro add-on only) are routed entirely through the WordPress AI Client (built into WordPress 7.0+). The site owner selects and configures their AI provider once at Settings \u2192 Connectors. Neither the free plugin nor the Pro add-on contacts any AI provider's API directly \u2014 all requests go through the WordPress AI Client, using whichever provider the site owner has configured there.<\/p>\n\n
WordPress AI Client documentation: https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/apis\/ai-client\/<\/p>\n\n
Broken link checker<\/h4>\n\n
When the site owner manually runs a scan, the plugin sends HTTP HEAD requests to the URLs found in the site's own published content to check whether each link still responds. No data about your site or visitors is transmitted beyond the standard HTTP request. Requests use WordPress's safe HTTP API, which blocks requests to private\/internal network addresses.<\/p>\n\n
Canonical URL scanner<\/h4>\n\n
When the site owner manually runs it, the plugin fetches your own site's XML sitemap to compare declared canonical URLs. It only requests URLs on your own domain, and only when you choose to run the scan.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the plugin files to
\/wp-content\/plugins\/sanctuary-tiger<\/code>, or install directly through the WordPress Plugins screen.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- Go to the new \"Sanctuary Tiger\" menu item to configure your site's SEO settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDoes this plugin require an account, API key, or license to use?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Every feature listed above works immediately after activation with no signup, no API key, and no license key required.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is this compatible with Yoast SEO or RankMath?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThis plugin detects whether Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, or WP SEO are active and automatically disables their title, meta description, canonical, Open Graph, and schema output to prevent duplicate tags \u2014 Sanctuary Tiger's own output takes priority. Running more than one full SEO plugin at once is not recommended regardless. If you're switching from Yoast or Rank Math, the Migrate Data tool (Sanctuary Tiger \u2192 Migrate Data) copies your existing titles, descriptions, and social fields over automatically, so you're not starting from a blank slate.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is this compatible with Jetpack?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The plugin detects Jetpack and Google Site Kit and disables their duplicate Open Graph tags, Twitter cards, robots meta, and schema\/JSON-LD output when either is also active.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does the plugin send data to external servers?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe free plugin does not send data to any external server. The optional broken-link scanner sends HTTP HEAD requests to URLs in your content when manually triggered. The optional canonical scanner fetches your own sitemap when manually triggered. The Pro add-on routes AI requests through the WordPress AI Client; no data is sent directly to any AI provider.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Where is the Pro add-on available?<\/h3><\/dt>\nhttps:\/\/rachel-m-harrison.com\/sanctuary-tiger-seo\/<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
1.1.6<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: A \"Migrate Data\" tool (Sanctuary Tiger \u2192 Migrate Data) that copies existing titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, and Open Graph fields from Yoast SEO or Rank Math into Sanctuary Tiger. Previously, core\/conflict-prevention.php disabled the other plugin's output but never read its data, so switching plugins meant re-entering everything by hand \u2014 this fixes that. Non-destructive: only fills Sanctuary Tiger fields that are currently empty, and never deletes anything from the source plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.5<\/h4>\n\n\n- Updated: Description rewritten for accuracy around Free vs. Pro \u2014 several sections previously implied AI Meta Generation, the AI Citation Optimizer, and Auto Internal Linking were available free; all three are Pro-only, corrected throughout, and the Pro add-on list now includes Service, Book, and AI Mention\/GEO tracking, which were missing from it.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: FAQ answer on Yoast\/Rank Math compatibility said the plugin \"defers\" to them \u2014 it actually does the opposite (disables their output so Sanctuary Tiger's own tags render), and the same handling covers more plugins than stated (All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, WP SEO, and Google Site Kit, not just Yoast\/Rank Math\/Jetpack).<\/li>\n
- Removed: An unsupported specific performance statistic for the AI Citation Optimizer \u2014 no measurement existed yet to produce that number.<\/li>\n
- Updated: New \"Why Sanctuary Tiger for 2026 AI Search\" section, with a corrected zero-click statistic (previous internal draft conflated AI Overview query coverage with zero-click rate) and a note on FAQ schema's actual (unconfirmed) relationship to AI citation, plus Google's June 2026 llms.txt guidance.<\/li>\n
- Updated: Tags set for discoverability (seo, geo, schema, ai search, redirect).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: Post-activation welcome \/ feature tour screen, linking to every screen the free plugin includes.<\/li>\n
- Added: Referral link tool on the Site Info screen.<\/li>\n
- Added: Occasional review prompt after real usage (not shown on activation, and only on this plugin's own screens).<\/li>\n
- Added: \"Go Pro\" link on the Plugins screen (hidden automatically once a valid license is active).<\/li>\n
- Updated: Go Pro screen \u2014 corrected licensing copy from \"1 site\" to \"up to 3 domains\" to match the actual license terms, reordered feature highlights to lead with GEO\/AI-search optimization, added a Licensing & Support row to the comparison table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: Classic widget (SWTiger_Breadcrumbs_Widget) for breadcrumbs, alongside the existing [swtiger_breadcrumbs] shortcode and Gutenberg block \u2014 same output, now available in classic widget areas too.<\/li>\n
- Updated: Tested up to WordPress 7.1.<\/li>\n
- Updated: Replaced remaining default WordPress admin-blue accent colors (SEO Health progress bar and active filter, Setup Wizard active step, Redirects pagination) with the plugin's own brand gold, for visual consistency with the Go Pro screen. Semantic status colors (info\/warning\/error badges) were left unchanged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: Word-form keyword matching in the Readability & Content Analysis panel. Focus keyword checks (density, first paragraph, subheading, title, meta description) now recognize natural variations \u2014 plurals, past tense, -ing forms, -er and -ly forms \u2014 so a focus keyword like \"coach\" also credits \"coaches\" or \"coaching\" appearing in your content, not just an exact literal match. Checks now note when a variation (not the exact word) is what satisfied them, so nothing is hidden. Known limitation: irregular verbs (e.g. \"run\" \u2192 \"ran\") aren't recognized, since that requires a full dictionary rather than spelling rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: Alt Text Fallback \u2014 automatically fills in missing image alt text on upload using the attachment title or filename (cleaned up and made readable), with generic camera\/screenshot filenames detected and given an honest fallback instead. Never overwrites alt text that's already set, including intentionally blank alt text on decorative images. A new \"Auto-fill missing alt text\" bulk action in the Media Library backfills images uploaded before this feature existed. Toggle in Settings \u2192 Sanctuary Tiger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: Real-time Readability & Content Analysis in the SEO metabox \u2014 focus keyword field with keyword-in-title\/description\/first-paragraph\/subheading checks, keyword density, Flesch reading ease score, sentence length, passive voice %, transition word usage, paragraph length, and subheading distribution. All analysis runs client-side in the browser as you type \u2014 no server request, no AI call, no license required.<\/li>\n
- Updated: FAQ schema field description now reflects Google's May 2026 retirement of the visible FAQ rich-result accordion, and notes the markup's continued value for AI answer engine citation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Updated: Go Pro learn-more link now points to the correct sales page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Changed: Go Pro buttons now link to the shop purchase flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: settings import no longer converts ampersands to & inside FAQ, keyword, and link data.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: custom schema JSON is now validated and preserved verbatim on import.<\/li>\n
- Hardened: import handler no longer errors on scalar JSON values.<\/li>\n
- Improved: Go Pro buttons now link directly to checkout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Initial public release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Fast, lightweight SEO for Google & AI search. Entity-clear schema, readability, redirects \u2014 free.
