Just testing this out on a local environment. I like the simplicity of it for adding some of the nitty gritty SEO details like Local Schema, search engine connectors, customizing the XML Sitemap. I’m using the SEO tools in Bricks Builder so this complements nicely with it. Only thing I have to manually do is add the schema for my custom post types so I have do a code block for that. Only issue I noticed is it throws PHP warnings of undefined array key for unselected modules on the general settings page when you save. Overall, this plugin complements the SEO features from Bricks so I have most basics covered for SEO. Definitely planning to use this on my live site when I’m ready.
