FAQ

Q: Is there a way to remove the no-index pages from the sitemap? I get the following recommendation: Pages with the no-index meta tag have been found in the XML sitemap. This is confusing for search engines since sitemaps should only list pages that have to be crawled and indexed.

A: Yes, you can use Squirrly SEO to remove the no-index pages from the sitemap.

The easiest way to do this is to go to: Squirrly SEO > SEO Configuration > Tweaks and Sitemap > Sitemap XML and ACTIVATE the option: Automatically exclude from sitemap the URLs with ‘Noindex.’

You also can do this by post type using the Automation > Configuration functionality. Simply select the post type and switch off: “Include In Sitemap”.

More details about this can be seen here.

Or you can do this at an URL level by editing the SEO Snippet and then selecting “Visibility”. More details about this can be seen here.

Yes, it does. You can also use Squirrly SEO in compatibility mode. (more information about this available here)

Once you do this, the SaaS part of Squirrly SEO will help you with your SEO, and the code-changing features will be left to your themes and plugins.

The SEO Live Assistant works on the front-end of Thrive Architect. You can use it to optimize and enhance your content, just as you’re creating or editing your Thrive Architect page.

You can do Multiple Keyword Optimization using the Live Assistant together with Briefcase in the Thrive Architect Editor.

All you have to do is make sure the Activate Live Assistant in Frontend option from Squirrly is turned ON. You can access this option from Squirrly > Live Assistant > Settings.

Q: Does Squirrly SEO work seamlessly with any themes (without using any page builders) the same way Rankmath and Yoast work with Elementor? Especially Blocksy and BricksBuilder. With Blocksy, I’m trying to use only Gutenberg and want to ditch page builders.

A: Yes, it does. It works awesomely with Elementor.

The SEO Live Assistant Module of Squirrly SEO works on the front-end of Elementor, just as you’re creating or editing your Elementor page. We were the first to integrate our real-time SEO Live Assistant with it on the front end while editing. It works very well with Gutenberg as well.

The SEO Live Assistant from Squirrly works on the front-end of Bricks , just as you’re creating or editing your Bricks page. You can do Multiple Keyword Optimization using the Live Assistant together with Briefcase in the Bricks Editor.

Using the Web Dev Kit allows you to customize Squirrly SEO and install it on your clients’ sites.

In Squirrly SEO, you have the option to either temporarily disconnect a site or completely delete a website from your account (from the Cloud App). You can always reconnect a disconnected site. Disconnecting a site won’t DELETE it from the Squirrly Cloud. All information will continue to be stored, in case you want to restore the connection.

Deleting a site will lead to all information related to optimizations made, keyword research, and more to be deleted for that site as well. We don’t recommend deleting a site unless you are 100% sure you will no longer need that website.

However, even if you delete a site from your account, your clients won’t lose optimizations made using the SEO Live Assistant, for example. That content will continue to be optimized even after you stop using Squirrly on their site.

More information about this available here.

Q: Question about the WebDevKit. I have different projects that need different SEO settings for the front-end and different branding names. Are the settings after activating the WebDevKit under “Customize & Download Squirrly SEO Plugin ” set once and not changeable or is it possible to set them again individually for each project (and plugin download)? That would be great and give even more freedom for publishers.

A: Yes, it is possible to set them again individually for each project, as you can have multiple zip files. More about this here >>

We’ve created Web Dev Kit for Co-Branding Capabilities, but also as a B I G requests from agencies and developers who really wanted to offer their customers the absolute best – while also being able to install the plugin and to monitor the clients from a single account.
