* Per-page/post SEO title, description, canonical override and robots choices.

This is a useful standalone free plugin. Paid add-ons are separate. No time limit,
license activation, payment account, telemetry or external reporting is required.
WordPress.org submission/approval is not claimed by this direct distribution.

== Installation ==
1. Back up your site and test on staging.
2. Upload this ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and activate.
3. Add-ons require SSF SEO Toolkit Free. The Agency package includes all three ZIPs.
4. Open SSF SEO. Prepare metadata, review existing providers, then explicitly enable output.
5. Verify actual public HTML, sitemap and any interactive pages after changing settings.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Should I enable several SEO or cache plugins? =
Use one owner for SEO tags and one compatible caching strategy. SSF disables its SEO output
when a recognized provider is active. The rendering cache also checks common cache providers.
Unrecognized custom plugins require your review. Migration can be prepared while output is off.

= What are the launch packages? =
Free: $0. Pro: US$49 for one site. Agency: US$149 for ten sites.
Paid prices include one year of updates/support with no automatic renewal. Installed local
functions remain available. Paid checkout is coming soon; no payment is taken by this plugin.
The site count describes updates/support coverage, not a restriction of GPL freedoms.

= Are updates automatic? =
This initial direct-distribution release uses manual ZIP updates. No remote updater or
license server is bundled. Preserve a backup and follow SSF release/support instructions.

= Does it guarantee rankings or rich results? =
No. Search engines determine crawling, indexing, titles, snippets and rich-result eligibility.
Useful content, site configuration and other factors still matter.

== Privacy ==
Data and privacy:
Settings, post metadata, audits and activity history are saved in this site's database.
Pro stores redirect paths, optional 404 path/count history and image derivative records.
404 history excludes IP addresses, query strings and referrers, but paths can still contain
personal information; enable only if appropriate and clear it when no longer needed.
Image copies are ordinary Media Library files, not a private storage system.
Deactivation stops plugin behavior. Stored settings/reports/media remain for recovery.
Uninstalling does not silently erase content or credentials; disconnect Agency accounts
and export/clear reports before removal. Downloaded copies are controlled by their holder.
Agency credentials are encrypted with a key derived from WordPress authentication salts.
This protects against a database-only disclosure; it does not protect a compromised server.
Changing salts requires reconnecting accounts. No secrets are included in report exports.

This package makes no external service requests of its own.
