When we launched Shop2LLM, it was an AI visibility plugin — llms.txt generation, MCP server, crawler tracking. The SEO module was added in v1.3.0 as a side feature. With v1.3.1, it is now a full SEO engine that covers 78% of Yoast Premium's core SEO capabilities by our own feature audit (9 of 12 core categories) — while remaining completely free. Disclosure: this is a vendor-published release note, not an independent review.

Multi-Keyword Optimization

Yoast SEO Premium scores your content against one focus keyword. Shop2LLM v1.3.1 supports unlimited keywords, each independently scored across 7 dimensions:

  1. Keyword in title
  2. Keyword in meta description
  3. Keyword in first paragraph
  4. Keyword in URL slug
  5. Keyword in subheadings (H2-H6)
  6. Keyword in image alt text
  7. Keyword density (0.5%-2.5%)

Each keyword gets its own 0-100 score, displayed in the Per-Keyword Scores section of the Content Analysis panel.

AI-Powered Suggestions

Two AI suggestion engines were added, both with automatic local fallback when the cloud API is unavailable:

Feature Cloud AI Local Fallback
AI Keyword Suggestions Analyzes post content, suggests relevant focus keywords (merged with existing, never overwritten) TF-IDF-style bigram extraction (CJK/Latin), stop-word filtering, title-weighting bonus
AI Schema Detection Suggests best Schema.org type from 19 options, auto-fills dropdown Regex pattern matching across 10 content types (FAQ, HowTo, Recipe, Event, Course, JobPosting, Review, Book, SoftwareApplication, Product)

WooCommerce Deep Integration

Product pages now get these fields directly in the SEO meta box:

Field Schema Property Notes
GTIN gtin13 / gtin12 / gtin8 UPC/EAN/ISBN auto-detected by length
MPN mpn Manufacturer Part Number
Brand brand.name Schema.org Brand entity
Condition offer.itemCondition New/Used/Refurbished/Damaged
Custom Product ID sku Store-specific identifier

Enhanced Product Schema includes all identifiers, gallery images as array, variable product AggregateOffer (lowPrice/highPrice/offerCount), shipping weight, and improved aggregateRating (bestRating/worstRating). Six product-specific content checks:

4-Layer Rate Limiting

AI features are rate-limited at four levels matching Yoast Premium's architecture:

Layer Limit Purpose
Minute 3 calls/minute Anti-script burst protection
Hour 10 calls/hour Anti-abuse
Day 10 calls/day Primary user-facing limit (displayed in UI)
Month 20 calls/month Cost backstop (2× Rank Math Free's 10/month)

Additional protections: 8-second per-user cooldown, per-post result caching (1h transient + 24h post meta), and content hash deduplication (unchanged content = cached result, zero API calls).
