## **🧩 Overview**

If you already use a WordPress SEO plugin alongside the Search Atlas WordPress plugin, questions may arise about how the two interact and whether any manual configuration is needed. The Search Atlas plugin is built with compatibility and automatic detection in mind, so that it can work within existing WordPress SEO setups.

## **🔍 How Automatic Detection Works**

The Search Atlas WordPress plugin includes automatic detection functionality designed to identify other active SEO plugins on your WordPress installation. This detection helps the plugin adjust its behaviour to avoid conflicts. The specific details of how detection is applied in your environment may vary — if you have questions about a particular configuration, our support team can advise.

## **⚙️ Do You Need to Manually Select Your SEO Plugin?**

In most cases, the automatic detection feature is intended to handle compatibility without requiring you to manually configure which SEO plugin is active. If you are unsure whether your current setup requires any additional steps, or if you notice unexpected behaviour after installing the Search Atlas plugin, contact support with the following details ready:

- The name and version of your existing WordPress SEO plugin(s)
- The version of the Search Atlas plugin you have installed
- A clear description of the issue or behaviour you are seeing
- Any error messages shown in your WordPress dashboard or browser console

## **Additional Notes**

Supported plugins: Yoast SEO (free/premium), Rank Math, All in One SEO (AIOSEO), The SEO Framework. If using an unlisted plugin, auto-detection may not apply — monitor for duplicate meta output. Auto-detection prevents duplicate meta tags and defers to detected plugin for meta titles/descriptions; Search Atlas features (content optimisation, keyword tracking, reporting) continue fully.
