Search Console arrives in AgentedSEO, along with redirects for trashed posts, a better 404 monitor, a choice of who gets the plugin’s emails, and big speed gains on large sites.

01 · Added · 6 changesSearch Console

6 changes
  • Search Console connection: sign in with Google once to see clicks, impressions and position per page and keyword in the dashboard, the editor and the post list.
  • Opportunities and keyword ideas from the searches that already find your site.
  • URL Inspection: check whether Google has indexed a page and which canonical it chose.
  • Sitemap submission: send your sitemaps to Google from the plugin.
  • For agents: the same data through MCP, REST and WP-CLI, from the Search Console report and page stats to opportunities, keyword ideas and URL inspection.
  • Old sitemap addresses sitemap_index.xml and sitemaps.xml, used by Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SureRank, SEOPress and SiteSEO, now answer too, so Search Console no longer shows them as unreadable.

02 · Added · 4 changesRedirects and 404s

4 changes
  • Redirect on trash: trash a published post and AgentedSEO offers a 301 or a 410 for its old address, with a suggested page to send visitors to. Child pages that moved with it are listed too.
  • A notice that stays until settled: a redirect is added, the post comes back, or you press Ignore. Publish the post again and its redirect is removed, so visitors reach the live page.
  • 404 monitor skips paths you list, shows where visitors came from most recently, and has an Ignored tab where you can stop ignoring a path. An ignored path stays ignored for good.
  • 404 counts: the plugin’s own link checker no longer counts as a visitor, and the People and Bots tabs sort by the right number.

04 · Improved · 3 changesSetup and settings

  • Import first: if another SEO plugin’s data is on your site, the setup wizard offers to import it first, then fills in its questions from what was imported.
  • Email recipients: choose which addresses get the approval, weekly report and broken link emails under Tools › General. Until you do, they go to the site admin email.
  • Every public post type: the SEO panel shows on products and custom post types by default, not only posts and pages. Sites that already chose their post types keep their choice.

05 · Fixed · 3 changesAgents and MCP

3 changes
  • Every public post type: agents may create and edit every public post type by default, not only posts and pages. Sites that already saved a list keep it.
  • Sign-in next to other OAuth plugins: with another plugin that also signs in AI agents, agent sign-in could fail. The two no longer get in each other’s way.
  • Duplicate connection: a new agent connection no longer shows twice in the list.

06 · Fixed · 1 changeSearch appearance

1 change
  • Share images: an AVIF, SVG or HEIC share image gave an empty card on Facebook and X. The next image in line is used instead.

07 · Improved · 1 changeSpeed

1 change
  • Large sites: the site check, the broken link checker, list screens and sitemaps all keep up with tens of thousands of posts.

Special thanks

Thanks to the people whose requests and reports shaped this release.

  • Miran Zgec asked for choosing which addresses the plugin’s emails go to, and reported the old sitemap index addresses answering 404 and agent sign-in clashing with other plugins.
  • Saurabh Guttedar asked for the plugin import as the first step of the setup wizard, and reported the link checker counting blocked links as broken.
  • Rene Bakker reported page builder layouts being flagged for two H1 headings.

Questions about this release.

Updates, licences and what to do when something breaks.

It arrives in your WordPress dashboard like any other plugin update, while your licence key is active. Update from the Plugins screen, or turn on auto-updates for AgentedSEO.

No. Updates keep your titles, descriptions, schema, redirects and approval rules. Anything an update itself changes is listed above, and every change your agent makes stays in the change log with undo.

Undo the change from the change log if it was a content or settings change, then email [email protected] with what you expected, what happened and your WordPress version. Run the connection test under Agents › Connections if your agent stopped connecting.

No. If a licence lapses, your SEO output, data and undo keep working. Only updates and support stop until it is active again.
