What Does a SEOPress Developer Do?
SEOPress is a premium WordPress SEO plugin developed by Benjamin Denis. It is the leanest of the major WordPress SEO plugins in terms of code footprint, and it is particularly popular among developers who want a SEO plugin that does its job without injecting unnecessary scripts, tracking data, or upsell prompts into the WordPress admin.
SEOPress handles the full technical SEO stack: meta titles and descriptions, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, XML and HTML sitemaps, breadcrumbs, schema markup (via a schema type selector per post), 301 redirect management, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager integration, WooCommerce SEO, and local SEO fields. The Pro version adds more schema types, a content analysis tool, and advanced WooCommerce features.
For developers who build WordPress sites for clients, SEOPress is a practical choice – it is white-label friendly (the plugin can be rebranded in the admin UI), developer-friendly with a documented filter system, and affordable at a flat annual licence fee that covers unlimited sites.

When Do You Need a SEOPress Specialist?
SEOPress work on Codeable typically involves:
- Setting up and configuring SEOPress correctly for a new or existing WordPress site – meta tags, sitemaps, schema types, and Open Graph settings.
- Migrating from Yoast or Rank Math to SEOPress – importing existing SEO meta data so that titles, descriptions, and custom settings are preserved.
- Extending SEOPress with custom schema types or custom meta tag logic that the plugin does not handle natively.
- Configuring SEOPress’s redirect manager as part of a URL restructuring or site migration project.
- Setting up SEOPress for WooCommerce – product schema, breadcrumbs, and category meta configuration.
What to Look for in a SEOPress Developer
SEOPress configuration is straightforward for developers familiar with WordPress SEO in general – the settings are logical and well-documented. Look for developers who understand SEO plugin configuration across multiple plugins, since the concepts transfer between Yoast, Rank Math, and SEOPress even though the interfaces differ.
For migration projects (switching from Yoast to SEOPress), ask whether the developer has done this migration before. SEOPress has an import tool that pulls in Yoast data, but it does not catch every edge case – custom post type SEO data and some advanced Yoast settings need manual verification after import.
Common SEOPress Problems a Developer Can Fix
Common SEOPress problems: Why Running Two Seo Plugins At The Same Time Destroys Your Rankings.
- XML sitemap returning 404 – the sitemap URL needs to be flushed after SEOPress is installed or after a settings change. Go to SEOPress > XML/HTML Sitemap and save the settings to regenerate the sitemap URL.
- Meta titles not updating on the front end – a caching issue. Clear all caches after changing SEOPress title templates. Also check that no other SEO plugin is still active – two SEO plugins outputting meta tags simultaneously causes conflicts.
- Schema markup not validating – a required property is missing for the selected schema type, or the schema type selected in the post’s SEOPress settings does not match the actual content. Validate with Google’s Rich Results Test and check which properties are missing.
- Open Graph images not pulling correctly – the featured image is not set, or the Open Graph image settings in SEOPress are overriding the featured image. Check the post-level OG settings and the global defaults.
SEOPress Maintenance & Ongoing Work
SEOPress releases regular updates. The plugin has a strong track record of WordPress compatibility, and updates are generally safe to apply. As with all SEO plugins, verify that key settings have not changed after major updates – particularly sitemap configuration and schema type assignments on important pages.
The SEOPress redirect manager accumulates redirects over time. Periodically reviewing the redirect list and removing outdated redirects (chains that are no longer needed, redirects to deleted pages) keeps the redirect table manageable.
How to Post a SEOPress Project on Codeable
When posting a SEOPress project on Codeable, specify whether you need initial setup, a migration from another SEO plugin, or custom development that extends SEOPress functionality. Also mention which version you are using (free or Pro) – some features are Pro-only and the developer needs to know what is available.
