详情介绍:
Local SEO By Ankit Rawat generates LocalBusiness JSON-LD structured data for one business or for many locations. You enter your business details once, or create a Location for each branch, and the plugin outputs a connected Schema.org entity graph in the page
head.
All processing happens on your own server. The plugin makes no outbound HTTP requests from PHP, contains no telemetry, and does not require any external API key or subscription service.
For more information, visit the official Local SEO By Ankit Rawat website.
Structured data
- Sitewide LocalBusiness JSON-LD for LocalBusiness, Restaurant, Hotel, ProfessionalService, and Store.
- A unified entity graph on location pages linking WebSite, Organization, WebPage, BreadcrumbList, and LocalBusiness through stable
@idreferences. - Opening hours and special/holiday hours as
openingHoursSpecification. - Optional WooCommerce Product JSON-LD on product pages.
- When the type is Store and product schema is enabled, up to five published products are listed in an
OfferCatalogon the front page, posts index, and WooCommerce shop. - A Schema Inspector that compiles and validates the generated graph in memory. No page is fetched over the network to do this.
- A Locations post type with per-location name, address, phone, email, coordinates, hours, service areas, and business type.
- One location can be marked Primary; the plugin keeps that designation consistent.
- Location pages with a theme-overridable template.
- CSV import and export with a dry-run preview, deterministic matching, batched commits, crash recovery, and conflict-aware rollback.
- An XML sitemap and a KML feed for published locations, plus integration with the WordPress core sitemap.
[lsar_store_locator]shortcode and a matching block, with browser-local proximity search.- Maps use Leaflet, bundled locally with the plugin. No Google Maps API key is required.
- The location list works without JavaScript.
- Map tiles are requested by the visitor's browser from a tile provider you configure. See External Services below.
- Local SEO Health: completeness of your business details and structured data configuration.
- Content Quality: word count, cross-location text similarity, information completeness, and contradictions between page text and configured contact details.
- Entity Consistency: disagreements between your stored location data, the schema the plugin generates, and your page content.
[lsar_store_locator], [lsar_directory], [lsar_location_directory], [lsar_nearby_locations], [lsar_opening_hours], [lsar_business_status], [lsar_location_status]
What it does not do
- No Google Business Profile / Google My Business API synchronization.
- No importing of reviews or ratings from Google, Yelp, Facebook, or any other platform.
- No rank tracking, no citation building, and no directory submissions.
- No AI content generation.
- No guarantee of rankings, rich results, or search visibility. Structured data is an input to search engines; it is not a ranking promise.

Use local_seo_by_ankit_rawat_output_local_schema to disable output if another SEO plugin already emits equivalent JSON-LD.
安装:
- Upload the
local-seo-by-ankit-rawatfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP from Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
- Open Local SEO By Ankit Rawat in the admin menu.
- Enter your business details and enable schema output only when the data is accurate.
- To use multiple locations, enable multi-location mode and add entries under Locations.
- After adding locations, visit Settings → Permalinks once so location page URLs are registered.
常见问题:
Do I need a Google Maps API key?
No. Maps use Leaflet, which is bundled with the plugin. Map tiles come from the provider configured in settings; the default is OpenStreetMap.
Does this send my data anywhere?
The plugin's PHP makes no outbound HTTP requests and includes no telemetry or analytics. The only third-party requests are map tiles fetched by your visitors' browsers on pages that display a map, and the optional admin-only support link. Both are described under External Services.
How is a Service-Area Business handled?
Mark the location as a Service-Area Business. Its street address and exact coordinates are then withheld from structured data, the store locator, the REST API, the KML feed, and the sitemap. Configured service areas are published instead.
Will my settings from earlier versions be kept?
Yes. Existing settings are read from the same option key used since 4.0.0 and are not modified by this release. Values from 3.3 are copied on first admin load after upgrade; the old keys are left in the database.
Does upgrading from 4.1.0 change my existing schema output?
No. If you do not enable multi-location mode, the sitewide JSON-LD is produced by the same code path and has the same shape as in 4.1.0. Multi-location features are additive and stay off until you use them.
How do I test the schema?
Use Google's Rich Results Test after enabling schema and entering real business details. The plugin's own Schema Inspector checks structural validity only; it cannot tell you whether Google will show a rich result.
Does this slow the site down?
Diagnostics run in wp-admin, not on the public site. On the front end the plugin adds JSON-LD, and adds CSS/JavaScript only on pages that use the store locator, a map, or a location template. Leaflet loads only where a map is rendered.
Can this duplicate Yoast, Rank Math, or All in One SEO schema?
Yes, if both are configured to output LocalBusiness data. The plugin detects those plugins and warns you. Use local_seo_by_ankit_rawat_output_local_schema or local_seo_by_ankit_rawat_output_product_schema to disable this plugin's output where another plugin already provides it.
Where does the Store product catalog appear?
By default only on the front page, the posts index, and the WooCommerce shop. Product pages already have Product JSON-LD. Use the local_seo_by_ankit_rawat_embed_store_catalog filter to change placement.
What happens to my data if I uninstall?
Uninstalling removes the plugin's own settings and cached diagnostic reports. Your Locations, their details, reviews, and services are stored as regular WordPress content and are not deleted.
