Squirrly SEO - Plus Exclusive Reviews

SEO is like gibberish to me. I am a massage therapist who has built out my website on wordpress. I recently started using the suggestions by Squirrly SEO AI assistant. It was actually fairly easy to use. After a few sessions of working on my focus pages and my pages on my site, I noticed a sudden increase in new clients scheduling. It went from 1 new client scheduling once a month to suddenly 3 in one day scheduling a medical massage. I have been so impressed that when I just received the company's Black Friday offer, I said YES to it. Thank you Squirrly for making SEO on my website like an easy morning hike!

I have finally found a proper SEO solution that is not hard use. Thanks to Appsumo and Squirrly for making this accessible to us

What an amazing piece of software. The ability to increase your SEO, keywords and overall footprint above your competition is second to none. Amazing company that keeps sharpening their tools. Thank you for an amazing piece of software with a LTD.

I saw it yesterday in the Appsumo newsletter.
Until yesterday i used YOAST.
But now, its a game changer.
Easy and really great to use. And for new users there are a lot of informations and helplinks.
Thanks. I am looking forward to use the tool ;-)

If you use a pagebuilder,
And if you use custom fields to output your content via a custom post type (CPT), for case studies, services, service areas etc,
Then Squirrly SEO will NOT work for you.

The founder of Metabox estimates that ~60% of their userbase falls into the above category. Assuming the same for ACF, Jetengine etc, then that's millions of WordPress users who's content Squirrly SEO is ignoring.

Don't be fooled. It LOOKS like Squirrly is analysing your content, but it's only working on the template (and template preview while you work on it) rather than the actual custom post content.

As a result, not only does Squirrly SEO fail to analyse your content for your most important pages, it also encourages you to keep adding more and more of your SEO keyword, as it cannot see whether you've added it or not. AFAIK; repeatedly adding a the same keyword over and over again to a page is considered bad practice, and is penalised.

I have proven this to the Squirrly SEO team, and their answer is essentially that "nobody has complained about it yet, so it's not a problem".
So; an SEO plugin being unable to read content of millions of websites is "not a problem".
As I said before: Squirrly SEO LOOKS like it's working, because it's reading your template as you work on it. But it's NOT reading your custom post types and fields for content. Perhaps that's why they don't recieve support requests for it.

Squrrly SEO is great for people who only have 5 static pages, and don't output content via ACF/Metabox/Jetengine etc. It's almost completely useless for people who do though (~60% of CPT users)

Customer service has been responsive, but stubborn.
The software WOULD be great if it could read the content of your CPT site, but it can't, so it's not.

Try it yourself: check Squirrly's recommendations to add "X" keyword. Add that keyword to your CPT content that you output as content on the frontend. Check the recommendations again.
Has Squirrly seen your new content?
No.
Will it keep on advising you to add more of that keyword?
Yes.
Will you be penalised for keyword stuffing?
Possibly.
Have you wasted your time?
Definitely.
