When editing any new page / post following installation of the plugin, the

option exists to have the plugin periodically check how the page or post

matches the settings. The user can also manually click the ‘Check SEO’

button to the right hand side of the page being edited (below the

progress bar/SEO gauge. This auto function can be turned on or off

using ‘Enable Auto-Check blog Post/Page’ tick box. This feature is

useful when editing body text. The auto check period is set by the user

to the required number of seconds depending on preference and speed

of editing.

‘Display SEO Score in Progress Bar’ tick box: this allows the user to

choose between displaying the SEO score of the page being edited as

either a speedo-type gauge or a basic progress bar as a visual aid.

Webmaster tools where you need to log in prior to submitting sitemaps.

Terms Explained

‘SEO Spotlight Ultimate Fields Description’ is self explanatory. It is a

glossary of relevant terms and functions associated with the Plugin.

Figure 3: Glossary of terms



On Page SEO Settings

The Global settings for on-page features are set in this section. Global

settings will apply to all new pages/posts generated until the Local

settings are activated and over-ride the Global settings. This is done

during Editing of that specific page/post. This allows the use of different

criteria on each page/post if required. Remember to Save All Changes.

Figure 5: Social Reports Settings



Social Reports

Social Reports are available to show the social exposure levels of pages

or posts, with filters at the top of the page to allow filtering by Top SEO

Score. Both the SEO score and the number of Likes, Tweets and Plus

1’s can be monitored using the plugin. This is most useful when large

numbers of pages/posts are present. In this case select ‘Pages and

Posts in Diagram View’ which at a glance displays their relationship and

also the SEO score (if selected in Main Settings) and the social report

results. See Figures 6, 7, 8 below.

Video Sitemap Generator

To generate video Sitemaps of your site it is necessary to log in to

Google Webmaster Tools and proceed to add your site. The easiest

method of doing this is to click through to webmaster Tools from the

Main Control Settings hyperlink, log into your Webmaster account, add

your site URL, and verify your ownership. Verification can be done in

several ways, the quickest is to select ‘Alternative Method’ and to log

into your host account through Webmaster Tools. This takes only a few

seconds to verify. Then return to the plugin and click ‘Generate video

Sitemap’. There is a tick box option to include video length if so required.

Figure 9: Video Site map generator function



Your xml video sitemap is now generated. Viewing the sitemap is not

strictly necessary however this can be done by clicking on the hyperlink

directly above the generated map, see figure 10 below for an example.

The address of the xml sitemap will then appear as the URL which can

be copied ready for pasting into Google Webmaster Tools.

Figure 10: View your Video Sitemap prior to uploading to Webmaster Tools

Return to Webmaster Tools and select your site which you previously

added and verified. Go to ‘Optimisation’ and then ‘Sitemaps’. Select

‘Add/test’ SiteMap and it is possible to then test the sitemap for error

before finally submitting to Google.

This is a highly manual and tedious process if lots of sites are to be

completed. It is recommended to do this process if you are

experimenting with new or unfamiliar methods of embedding videos or if

it is the first video sitemap for that site. However for established sites



and when you are satidfied that your methods of displaying videos on

your sites do not cause errors for Google it is then possible to use an

instant method to submit your updated video sitemap without the above

process. Simply click on ‘ping Google’ hyperlink which is directly under

the video site map just generated by the plugin. This will submit your

sitemap directly to Google. (See figure 10 above).

Figure 12: Meta data Search by Keyword(s)

SEO URL Searching

This powerful feature allows you to find and analyse your top 10 Google

ranked competitors for a keyword (s), and to then extract Keyword

Metadata from their sites. This Metadata can then be imported to

specific pages or posts on your sites using a .csv file.

Type your chosen keyword(s) into the dialog box and select ‘Searching

from Keyword’ and then ‘Submit’. This will then take a few seconds to

come back with the top 10 Google sites ranked for that search Keyword



term. The data for these sites can then be saved as a .csv file by clicking

on ‘Export Table to csv’ at the bottom of the page.

Reimporting data using .csv for use in your own pages:

This can be done in 2 possible ways.

1. Open the Top 10 .csv file just generated and delete any unwanted

metadata. The end result must have only 1 one set of metadata in

the file, so ensure if you are going to combine metadata from

several of the top sites, that you move the metadata into a single

row in the csv file, then ‘save as’ your chosen filename.

2. The alternative way of using csv data is when you know that you

want to use the meta data from a single site. In this case copy and

paste the chosen competitor site URL into the dialog box and

select the option ‘Searchin from URL’ to the right hand side and

‘Submit’. This will bring up the metadata for that URL. Again select

generate csv file at the base of the page.

To upload a csv generated by either of the above methods, go to the

page/post being edited and expand the section called ‘On Page SEO

Setting’. This area allow you to set specific Local on page rules or

settings. Next expand the next section ‘OnPage CSV Upload’ and

browse to locate your CSV file of choice. Once uploaded, ensure that

the page/post is Updated or published in orer to activate the CSV and

the Local on page settings. The Metadata from the competitor page will



then be inserted into the relevant sections of your own page/post.
