It does two\nthings:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Registers three post-meta keys (<code>_mitch_seo_title<\/code>, <code>_mitch_seo_metadesc<\/code>,\n   _mitch_jsonld) for the WordPress REST API so Mitch can write approved SEO\nfixes to your pages. WordPress silently ignores writes to unregistered meta,\nso this registration is required.<\/li>\n<li>Renders those values through your active SEO plugin's own output (Yoast,\nRank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress) - or standalone if you have no SEO\nplugin. It never overwrites your SEO plugin's own fields, so any change Mitch\nmakes is fully reversible from the Mitch dashboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Mitch SEO requires a getmitch.ai account. To sign up, go to\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmitch.ai\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=plugin&amp;utm_campaign=mitch-seo\">https:\/\/www.getmitch.ai<\/a>\nand create your account, then connect your site from the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n<p>All REST access requires an authenticated user (WordPress Application Password)\nwith permission to edit the post. No endpoint is public.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin is a companion to the getmitch.ai SEO service. It does not connect\nto any external service on its own - it only responds to authenticated REST API\nrequests made by your own getmitch.ai account.<\/p>\n\n<p>What is sent, and when: when you approve an SEO fix in your getmitch.ai\ndashboard, getmitch.ai's servers send a single authenticated REST API request\nto your own WordPress site (using the WordPress Application Password you\ncreated when connecting) to read or write that page's title, meta description,\nand JSON-LD structured data. No other data is read or transmitted, and no\nrequest happens unless you have connected your site and approved a specific\nfix.<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin itself never initiates an outbound request to getmitch.ai or any\nother server - it only exposes an authenticated <code>wp-json\/mitch\/v1\/status<\/code>\nendpoint and REST-writable post meta, both of which require a logged-in\nWordPress user capable of editing the relevant post.<\/p>\n\n<p>Terms of Service: https:\/\/getmitch.ai\/terms\nPrivacy Policy: https:\/\/getmitch.ai\/privacy<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin files to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/mitch-seo<\/code>, or install it\nthrough the WordPress Plugins screen (Plugins -&gt; Add New -&gt; Upload Plugin).<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the \"Plugins\" screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>In your getmitch.ai dashboard, go to Settings -&gt; WordPress and connect your\nsite using a WordPress Application Password (create one under Users -&gt;\nProfile -&gt; Application Passwords on your WordPress site).<\/li>\n<li>Once connected, SEO fixes approved in your getmitch.ai dashboard will apply\nto the pages you choose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20a%20getmitch.ai%20account%3F\"><h3>Do I need a getmitch.ai account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
