More Updates and Fixes to the GEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO

GEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO:

= 14.2.4 =

  • Fix: The Inner Links suggestions no longer include WordPress menu items. Menu items are stored as posts and have an address of their own, but that address is not a real page and returns "not found" when opened, so they were being suggested as pages to link from and then reported as broken links in the Inspect report.
  • Fix: The WebSite structured data now publishes your WordPress Site Title as the name of your site - the short name Google shows above your results - instead of the SEO title of the home page. The SEO title is a sentence written for the search result and was being cut short when Google read it as the site name.
  • Fix: The home page SEO title and meta description are now published in the JSON-LD properties they belong in - headline and description - instead of the description being published as the headline.
  • Fix: Company and personal brand names written with characters like "&" are no longer published with the HTML entity inside the structured data.
  • Fix: The Rich Snippets settings now describe correctly what is published when the company or personal brand name is left empty.
  • Fix: The description in your Rich Snippets Schema now follows the Meta Description you wrote for the page, instead of falling back to the raw page content. The {{excerpt}} pattern in a Schema field behaves like the {{title}} pattern already did with your SEO title, so an optimised Meta Description no longer has to be copied into the Rich Snippets by hand and kept in sync there.
  • Fix: The headline in your Rich Snippets Schema no longer repeats your site name when the Automation title pattern already ends with it - "Post Title | Site Name | Site Name" is now published as "Post Title | Site Name".
