Squirrly Snippet Tool
🚨 This article share details about an older version of the Snippet tool. For information regarding the most recent version of the Snippet tool, please check out this resource.
[slideshare id=77295843&doc=squirrlysnippettool1-170627101853]
The Squirrly Snippet Tool shows you how your article will look like on search engines. By customizing it, you will boost the conversion rate.
Note that ‘search engines’ does not only stand for Google, Bing, Yahoo or Yandex. Social media networks are also based on a search engine premise. Pinterest, for instance, is a platform where people can find you via a keyword-based inquiry.
After the inquiry, the search engine provides result pages. What you see on those result pages is called meta-information.
By default, Squirrly Snippet generates the meta-information for your article by:
- Taking the first lines of your article and automatically adding them to the meta description.
- Making sure the keyword you optimized for appears in the selected lines.
- Including the featured image.
If you want to go beyond the default options, Squirrly Snippet Tool allows you to:
- Customize the Meta Description
- Customize the Title
- Insert an Image for Social Sharing
The wrong thing to do for an automatic SEO software would be not to give you the possibility to customize your metadata. It would be counterintuitive to take the same one being used for the main site for each page. This will only generate duplicates.
With its customization options, Squirrly Snippet Tool is a necessary feature helping you control the way Google lists and displays your posts.

powerful seo tools ……thanks
Essa ferramenta tem me favorecido bastante, muito obrigado por compartilhar eficiência e qualidade. Saudações
Stupid thing doesn’t work at all. It just flat out won’t work. Now I have to uninstalled Squirrly and put Yoast back on, because this snippet thing is ruining my descriptions and titles for all pages.
Hey, Please make sure you have Squirrly 5.3.1 installed … Squirrly 5.3 has a big change in SEO and we had to make it work with all the themes … We’ve made the required changes and now we have positive feedback for 5.3.1 version.
Have a great year!
Calin
Way better than the rest… thanks squirrly!
You’re welcome. Enjoy Squirrly!
My Squirrly Snippet does not work either.
All mine does is show this / 403 – FORBIDDEN
http://fishingthegoldcoast.com
how to fix this????
Hey,
It can be .htaccess permission in your blog root. Squirrly verifies the pages on frontend and id the blog doesn’t allow this you probably get an error like this.
Try to remove the restrictions from .htaccess or talk with your host about this issue.
Best regards,
Calin
Hey,

Good day!
I have a question. Why I can not manage keyword in Snippet? Squirrly insert meta title in keywords automatically. How can I change it?
Best regards, Igor
Hey,
If you switch on the “Add tags in keyword meta” option from Squirrly > Settings, you can add tags in your post edit page and Squirrly will add them automatically in meta.

HI Calin Vingan did a very good job and you just eased the word for any new SEO student who want to learn it for professional purpose and please carry on your work. Thanks
Hi, i have added the rich snippet information in squirrly for all pages on my website . dublinwhiskeytours.com but its not showing aprt from on my home page. Using https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool to verify
thanks
andrew
Excellent. It will definitely work for improving google ranks. Thanks a lot
Great seo Plugin
The info that I have included on the snippit is appearing on the actual page of my website – I need to remove it from the front end as it looks ridiculous. Can anyone help?
If you set in Settings > Reading a Static page as a Home Page then, if you edit the snippet for that page, it will appear in the Home Page.
To remove the custom snippet, go to that page and reset the changed inside that snippet
hi love it . it help my site http://www.HiLol.ca . full of funn
Hello,
can i use both Squirrly nd Yoast together? Cause i found it diffcult to change from yoast to Squirrly because of i’ve already use/edit snippet on yoast before, so i don’t know if i deactivate the yoast plugin all my snippet edited for a particular post will be transfer to Squirrly.
If you have the SEO optimisation made with Yoast, when you deactivate Yoast the title and description will be imported by Squirrly in Squirrly Snippet.
Best regards,
Calin, CTO of Squirrly
Thanks,
There is a problem, yoast normally make use of %%title%% and %%sep%%, Squirrly dose not use it, so after i deactivated the yoast, these tags nw display (%%title%%) instead of the article title.
Please how can i solve this issue?
If you use the custom title and description in the Yoast snippet tool, Yoast will overwrite the pattern and save the custom data.
If you deactivate Yoast, we will get that data in Squirrly Snippet Tool.
We do not use pattern meta in Squirrly SEO
Hope this helps
I Understand, if its so, that means the problem can’t be solve and i can’t use the plugin while am having this problem because i have more than 3,000 contents on my web and i can’t start editing them one by one. Once yoast get deactivated, squirrly get activated , %%title%% %%sep%% will occur at my header title.
Squirrly works with Yoast activated. You can switch off the SEO from Squirrly and use the content optimization tool from Squirrly.
Suddenly my Open Graph Protocol doesn’t work.
When I share to Facebook, the image for my post no longer works, just the title. This has only occurred the last few days. There is also an issue with GZIP compression, I have it installed, but again, Squirrly no longer recognises it.
Are these known issues. I have both set up on my WordPress site, but they no longer show as working, or work. I’m confused as to why they suddenly no longer work
Hi,
Thank you for your comment.
I checked your blog and it has the Open Graph. I tried to share and it looks okay.
Did you find the solution or it was a cache issue?
I will verify the GZIP in Audit and see if there is a crawler problem.
Thanks, by means Squirrly, I became more easily create articles
Great addition and very value.
I experimented with other additions but not so strongly.
I thank the programmers
Thank you!
I have squirrly on my home blog. There the snippet tool works. And I have it installed on a business page, live assistant works but not the snippet tool. I can’t seem to find an option where I can get the snippet tool to enable. Sad because I love it
Hi. Please send us a screenshot of your business page at support [at] squirrly.co.
Hey,
I am using Yoast for meta title and meta-description. I want to turn these off in Squirrly, because the checks I do with Moz are flagging that there are 2 meta-descriptions.
How do I do this?
Thanks,
Hi,
We are ready to release a new version of Squirrly which is importing all the SEO and settings that you already made with Yoast.
This new version is not yet released but yoy can access the Beta version from: https://storage.googleapis.com/squirrly/beta/squirrly-seo-beta.zip
After you import the settings you can deactivate the Yoast plugin
Best regards,
Calin
I want to continue using Yoast for the meta title and description. How can I do this without Squirrly insisting I use their one? I can’t seem to turn it off anywhere.
Also since new update, when I go to share articles on Facebook, pictures don’t appear. If I turn off the snippet tool in the article, the pictures then appear on Facebook – what is this all about?
Hi,
If you let both Yoast and SEO for on-page SEO, Squirrly will overwrite the Yoast metas to prevent duplicates.
Regarding Facebook Share, do you have a feature image for your article or did you set an image in Squirrly Snippet for Facebook?
Calin

How do I “deactivate” the Squirrly Snippet tool across the WordPress site? It keeps getting activated and I need to manually switch it off for each post
To deactivate the Snippet Tool you can switch off the Squirrly > SEO Settings > SEO Metas options.
If you want to deactivate the Snippet only for some post types, go to Squirrly > SEO Settings > Automation and switch of the options for Metas and Open Graph.
I was using SEO yoast, but then my friend told me to use squirrly and no doubt it is the best tool.
i have also find it difficult deactivating it not until I read this post
Does anyone know if there a non wordpress version for this. A Saas product. Im looking for a tool to do the same for my website
To deactivate the Snippet Tool you can switch off the Squirrly > SEO Settings > SEO Metas options.
If you want to deactivate the Snippet only for some post types, go to Squirrly > SEO Settings > Automation and switch of the options for Metas and Open Graph.
I appreciate you to continue your hard work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I like the squirrly. But there are some aspects we can improve.
Hey, if you have any suggestions please let us know. We are open to making the plugin better each day for our users ;).
