SEO Data Management

Tenwrite can manage SEO data while it publishes or updates WordPress posts and pages.

Use SEO fields when you want the Google Doc, the Tenwrite app, and WordPress to carry the same search metadata: SEO title, meta description, focus keyword, canonical URL, noindex, and nofollow.

SEO data can come from two places:

• Tenwrite fields — values you enter in the export or edit form.
• Google Docs frontmatter — values stored inside the document itself.

Frontmatter is best when the document should be the source of truth. Tenwrite fields are best when you want to set SEO data during export or while editing an existing post.

When you export or sync a WordPress post, Tenwrite reads the available SEO values and sends them with the post update.

If a supported SEO field exists in frontmatter, that value wins for the same field. This keeps document-controlled metadata from being accidentally overwritten in the app.

If a field is not present in frontmatter, you can manage it in Tenwrite.

WordPress does not let external tools update every Yoast SEO or Rank Math field through its normal publishing API.

The Tenwrite WordPress plugin gives self-hosted WordPress sites a direct way to accept those SEO fields from Tenwrite. It saves the values on the WordPress post or page and fills the matching fields in:

• Yoast SEO
• Rank Math

Without the plugin, Tenwrite can still publish WordPress content. The plugin is needed when you want supported SEO fields to appear inside Yoast SEO or Rank Math.

The plugin-supported SEO fields are:

For self-hosted WordPress sites:

1. Install and activate the Tenwrite WordPress plugin.
2. Keep Yoast SEO or Rank Math active if you want Tenwrite to fill those plugin fields.
3. Add SEO values in Tenwrite or in WordPress frontmatter.
4. Export the post, update it, or run Sync Post.
