SEO and GEO

Built so crawlers and answer engines understand the site

Maqal keeps important facts visible in the HTML and repeats them in structured data where search systems expect them.

What each blog publishes automatically

Canonical URLs: One preferred URL per page, post, archive, and language.
Language alternates: Hreflang links connect translated versions for multilingual discovery.
Feeds and sitemaps: RSS and XML sitemap endpoints help readers, crawlers, and automation tools find updates.
Schema markup: BlogPosting, WebPage, WebSite, FAQ, Organization, and SoftwareApplication schema where relevant.

For Google and classic search

Clean titles, descriptions, canonical tags, Open Graph metadata, XML sitemaps, RSS, and fast server-rendered pages.

For AI answer engines

Direct FAQ answers, product facts, plan offers, and schema.org JSON-LD make the product and blog content easier to summarize accurately.

For multilingual discovery

Language-specific URLs, alternates, localized metadata, and RTL-safe layouts keep translated content understandable.

Answer-engine ready

A clear facts file for AI retrieval

Maqal now exposes llms.txt on the platform and on every created blog, giving answer engines a concise map of product facts, plans, pages, posts, feeds, and sitemaps.

The work you do not have to repeat

Maqal replaces the recurring setup work that normally comes with a plugin-heavy blog stack.

Need	Maqal	Typical plugin stack
Hosting	Managed for you	Configure servers, updates, backups
Multilingual SEO	Per-language URLs and alternates built in	Multiple plugins and manual checks
GEO signals	Structured data and direct FAQ content	Often added later, if at all
Feeds and sitemap	Generated automatically	Depends on configuration
RTL publishing	Part of the core experience	Theme-by-theme support varies
