Clearyvo SEO – Image Alt Text, SEO Audit, XML Sitemap & Redirects

Clearyvo SEO is an SEO plugin for WordPress built around an SEO audit of every page and real image alt text. It handles the everyday SEO work – SEO titles and meta descriptions with a live search preview, schema markup, an XML sitemap, redirects and a 404 log – and then checks every published page the way a search engine sees it: missing alt text, broken heading structure, duplicate titles, keyword cannibalization and orphan pages. It is for site owners, bloggers, shops and agencies who want clear SEO fixes instead of a wall of green and red lights.

The difference starts with images. Many tools fill a missing alt attribute with the file name (“IMG 4521”). Clearyvo SEO drafts each alt text from what the page says about the image – its caption, the heading it stands under, a meaningful image title or the page title. You approve the drafts, and they are saved into the page and the Media Library: real content that stays, even if you switch the plugin off. Good alt text helps image SEO and accessibility at the same time.

And no keyword stuffing: one optional focus phrase, used naturally. Stuffing is flagged as a problem, never rewarded with a green light, and the plugin never writes keywords into your text.

Features

• Better titles in search results: SEO title and meta description for posts, pages, products, categories and tags, with title templates and variables.
• See the result before you publish: live search result preview with pixel-based title width.
• Fix problems while you write: SEO panel in the block editor with live checks for title and description, focus phrase, content, images, links and indexing – a green tick when it is good, a clear tip when it is not. The classic editor gets an SEO box under the editor.
• No empty descriptions: an automatic meta description from the excerpt when you have not written one.
• Clean indexing: canonical URLs and robots meta (noindex / nofollow), with sensible defaults for search results, date archives and attachment pages.
• Rich results and better shares: JSON-LD schema graph with WebSite, Organization or Person, WebPage, Article and BreadcrumbList; Open Graph and X (Twitter) cards with a fallback share image.
• Breadcrumbs with the [clearyvo_breadcrumbs] shortcode or cvseo_breadcrumbs() in your theme.
• Search engines find every page: XML sitemap on the fast WordPress core sitemap engine; noindexed pages and pages with a canonical elsewhere are left out, lastmod is added. Old Yoast SEO and Rank Math sitemap addresses redirect to it, so Google Search Console keeps working.
• No lost visitors: 301, 302, 307, 410 and 451 redirects, exact or regex, with a hit counter and loop protection; a 404 error log with one-click “create redirect”.
• robots.txt lines of your own, and attachment pages that redirect to their parent post.

The SEO audit: every page as a search engine sees it

The audit loads each published page like a visitor, so it sees what page builders, themes and other plugins really output. It changes nothing by itself.

• Image alt text: every image on every page, with a ready alt text draft for each missing one. Approve them one by one or all at once; mark decorative images.
• Headings: missing or repeated H1, an H1 in the header or footer of every page, skipped heading levels – fixed with one click.
• Focus keywords: the same keyword on several pages (keyword cannibalization), and whether it is in the title, H1, URL, first paragraph, meta description and an image alt text.
• Titles and meta descriptions: what search results show, with length and duplicate checks, editable right in the list.
• Internal links: orphan pages that no other page links to, and pages linked only from the menu or footer.
• One findings list with Critical, Warning and Notice severities, filters and CSV export.

Switch from Yoast SEO or Rank Math

Import titles, meta descriptions, focus keywords, canonical URLs, robots settings, social fields, primary categories, category and tag SEO, title templates, knowledge graph and redirects. Nothing is deleted from the old plugin. While another SEO plugin is still active, Clearyvo SEO prints no tags, so you never get duplicate meta tags.

Why Clearyvo SEO?

• Alt text from the page, not the file name – drafts you approve, saved as your own content.
• An audit of the real output – pages are checked as visitors receive them, page builders included.
• No keyword stuffing, no upsell nags – one optional focus phrase, plain-language tips.
• No account and no external service – everything runs on your own site.

Free and Pro

Everything above is free. The separate Clearyvo SEO Pro add-on adds AI image descriptions with your own Claude or OpenAI key, internal link ideas for pages nobody links to, LocalBusiness and Service structured data, a Search Console import for keyword conflicts and ideas, image loading fixes (lazy-loaded hero image, missing width and height), and scheduled audits by email with a white-label report. Clearyvo Pro, the all-in-one plugin of the family, contains Clearyvo SEO too; the SEO Pro features above stay in the Clearyvo SEO Pro add-on.

Part of the Clearyvo family

Focused plugins that each check one part of your site and share one Site Toolkit menu with a Site health score: media cleanup, broken links, indexing, schema, content, PDFs, database cleanup, backups, speed and more. The free Site Toolkit plugin is the dashboard: one Site health score and one-click install of every checker. The Clearyvo Site Inspector Mac app can read and edit the SEO of all your sites through the REST API (clearyvo-seo/v1, Application Password authentication). More at wp-sitechecker.com.

External services

The free plugin connects to no external service. The SEO audit loads your own pages from your own site. The Site Inspector REST API only answers requests that you make with an Application Password; it sends nothing by itself.
