Your customers search Google and ask AI assistants like ChatGPT who to call. Both read the same hidden details on your site: page titles, descriptions, social share previews and your business information (schema). On most small-business sites those are missing or generic.
SearchWrench scans your home page and shows:
- Your SEO score out of 100
- The issues that matter most, worst first, in plain English
- Which issues SearchWrench Autopilot can fix for you (marked Auto) and which are quick fixes you can make yourself (marked Tip)
The scan is free and needs no account.
Optional: SearchWrench Autopilot
Autopilot is a paid service on
searchwrench.com. When you connect it, it writes page titles, meta descriptions, social share (Open Graph) tags and LocalBusiness schema into your site through this plugin, then re-checks every week and keeps them right. Nothing changes in your theme or page design, and deactivating the plugin removes every change instantly.
Connecting uses WordPress's own application passwords (built in since WordPress 5.6). You approve the connection on your own site and can revoke it at any time under Users → Profile.
Security Watchdog (free)
A weekly check of the things that most often get small business sites hacked, with a plain-English list of what to fix, worst first:
- WordPress, plugin and theme updates waiting
- WordPress core files that differ from the official copy
- PHP code files hiding in the uploads folder
- A user called "admin", too many administrators
- The dashboard code editor switched on, error messages shown to visitors, no https
- Failed logins in the last 7 days
It runs on your own server and needs no account. It emails your site's admin address only when a new serious problem appears (you can turn that off). Optional login protection makes an address wait 15 minutes after 5 failed logins; addresses are kept only as a one-way code that expires after 15 minutes.
Build pages (free drafts)
People search for a service in their town ("water heater repair in Mason"). Pick one of the services and towns your site already mentions, choose page or blog post, and SearchWrench writes a helpful local page from your own site's words: no made-up prices, guarantees, licences or reviews. It is saved as a
draft so you can review it before you publish. 5 free drafts a month per site.
Tap-to-call
Enter your business phone number on the SearchWrench screen and it becomes a tap-to-call link wherever it appears on your site, so visitors on a phone can call you with one tap. It only links that one number, never changes anything else, and needs no account. Leave the field empty to turn it off.
Weekly service posts (Autopilot)
If you connect Autopilot, it can publish one new blog post a week about a service your site already offers, in a town your site already names. Posts are written only from what your own site says (no made-up prices, guarantees or reviews), appear under Posts like any other post, and can be edited or deleted. Switch this off any time on the SearchWrench screen.
Rankings are never guaranteed.
