McCrossenSEO™ handles all standard on-page SEO requirements out of the box — meta titles and descriptions, robots meta, canonical URLs, Open Graph, Twitter/X cards, JSON-LD schema markup, XML sitemap generation, redirect management, and bulk editing.
Free features (no account required):
Optional connected features (requires McCrossen Marketing account):
The free version is fully functional as a standalone SEO plugin. No account or external connection is required for free-tier features.
This plugin connects to external services depending on which features the site administrator enables. The plugin makes zero external connections by default. All listed services activate only after explicit administrator configuration or connection.
When: Only when the site is connected via the “Connect to McCrossen” button under McCrossenSEO™ > Connect2McCrossen.
What is sent: Site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, account identifier, and installed McCrossen plugin list. (The plugin also sends sanitized error reports rate-limited to one per error type per hour, even when not connected, to surface plugin-specific issues to the maintainer. This can be disabled by deactivating the plugin.)
Why: Authenticated delivery of platform-generated SEO recommendations, audit data, and (where the account permits) llms.txt content.
