PlugUpp Search & Social Appearance Audit

See exactly how your WordPress content appears in search engines and on social media - all from one simple dashboard.

PlugUpp Search & Social Appearance Audit shows how your pages actually appear in search results and when shared on social platforms. It audits the final rendered output of every page - regardless of theme, SEO plugin, page builder or custom code - and reports issues with evidence, so you can see what search engines and social platforms really see.

It is not an SEO plugin and does not manage your metadata. Whatever tool controls your titles, descriptions and social images, this plugin tells you the truth about what actually ships.

Private and password-protected pages are excluded automatically - search engines and social platforms cannot see them, so there is nothing to audit. The plugin focuses on the content that can actually appear publicly.

It also audits how your site presents to AI answer engines. A Site checks row shows which documented AI crawlers - OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google - your robots.txt allows or blocks, and what each provider documents that rule as controlling; it also checks that your homepage declares a working favicon, the little icon Google shows next to search results. Facts, with the evidence behind them: no AI visibility scores, no claims about citations.

It also reads the headings each page renders, and reports a page with no H1, more than one H1, or a heading level that skips - structural findings taken from the finished page rather than from the editor, so it sees the headings your theme and page builder add. See Heading structure.

The Social Appearance tab shows each page as a share-card preview (image, title, description), and the Search Appearance tab shows it as a Google mobile result (breadcrumb, title, description and thumbnail), so you can see how a page will look at a glance. Search thumbnails are indicative - Google chooses its own image and may show none. Hover any preview for the full text, or click a preview image to see full size with the exact area each platform keeps highlighted and the cropped edges dimmed. Click any flag to open the issue-details popup, which shows each problem with the evidence taken from the rendered page and quick actions (view, edit, re-scan, ignore).

See Getting started to run your first scan, Reviewing your results for how to read the tabs, the crop overlay and the issue-details popup, Heading structure for the H1 and heading-level findings, AI readiness for the AI access panel and the AI findings, Excluding content from the audit for manual and rule-based exclusions, the FAQ and Troubleshooting for common questions, and Plans and premium features for the plan comparison.
