Getting started

Three steps, about five minutes, and no Google Cloud project to create.

1

Install the plugin

Add PostPulse from your WordPress plugins screen and activate it. It needs WordPress 6.4 or newer and PHP 8.0 or newer.

2

Connect Search Console

Open PostPulse and click Connect. Sign in with the Google account that owns your Search Console property and choose which properties to use.

3

Wait for the first sync

The first sync pulls your history and scores every post. Larger sites take a few minutes. After that it refreshes daily on its own.

Common questions

My Pro features are not showing up

Paste your license key on the Plan and Billing tab in PostPulse settings and save. If it still shows Free, check that your site can reach the outside world: some hosts block outgoing requests by default, which stops the license from being verified.

I connected Google but see no data

Search Console data lags by two to three days, and a brand new property may have none yet. Check the Connection tab to confirm the property is listed and has synced. If the sync date is old, use Sync Now.

Google said the app is not verified

Verification is in progress with Google. Until it completes you may see a warning screen during connection. You can continue through it, or use your own Google credentials under advanced settings instead.

How do I move my license to a different site?

On the site you no longer want it on, go to settings, Plan and Billing, and choose Release this site. That frees the slot immediately for another install.

Where do auto links get saved?

Nowhere in your content. They are added when the page is built for a visitor, so search engines see normal links but your stored posts are untouched. Delete a rule and the link is simply gone.

Will it change my post titles?

No. The SEO title action sets the title used in search results only. The headline on your page, in your menus and in your feed stays exactly as you wrote it.

How do I remove everything?

Deleting the plugin from the WordPress plugins screen removes its database tables, settings and stored credentials. Deactivating alone leaves your data in place so you can turn it back on.

Still stuck?

Email us with your WordPress version, your PHP version, and what you were doing when it went wrong. That usually saves a round trip.
