The Per-Page SEO Editor

Tune the title, description, and schema on any post or page.

What the Per-Page SEO Editor is

Every post and page on your site has its own set of SEO settings: the title that shows in Google, the description underneath it, the keyphrase you want to rank for, and how the page looks when someone shares it on social media. The Per-Page SEO Editor is where you control all of that for one specific page.

It lives inside the normal WordPress editor. Open any post or page for editing and look in the right-hand sidebar. You will see a box titled Vibe SEO sitting near the top, above Publish and Categories. Everything in this lesson happens inside that box. Sitewide defaults handle pages you never touch, but when a page matters, this is where you fine-tune it by hand.

The focus keyphrase and your SEO score

At the very top is the Focus keyphrase field. This is the single phrase you want the page to rank for, for example "metal roof repair Dallas". Type it in first, because most of the editor keys off it.

Next to it is your Vibe SEO score out of 100. As soon as you enter a keyphrase, Vibe grades the page and lists specific recommendations underneath. Many of them have a one-click fix. The Fix All button runs every fixable recommendation in order. There is also a Page Speed Scan button that runs Google PageSpeed Insights on the live URL and pulls in Core Web Vitals. That scan takes twenty to thirty seconds.

Just below the keyphrase is the Related keyphrases field. Vibe auto-generates these from your focus keyphrase, and the Suggest button regenerates them. They are comma-separated variations that help the page cover a topic more fully.

The two live previews

Under the score you get a Google preview and a Social share preview. The Google preview shows your site name, the page URL, the title, and the description exactly as they would appear in search results, including the thumbnail. The Social share preview shows the Facebook and LinkedIn style card. Both update live as you type, so you never have to guess how a change will look.

Title, description, and slug

Three fields do most of the day-to-day work.

  • SEO title. Aim for 50 to 60 characters. A live counter tells you where you stand. Leave it blank and Vibe uses the page title automatically, so you only fill this in when you want something different from the headline.
  • Meta description. Aim for 120 to 160 characters. Google truncates anything past about 160. The counter turns this into a simple target. There is a Rewrite with AI button that writes a fresh, SEO-tuned description for you and replaces what is there.
  • URL slug. Lowercase, hyphens, no spaces, and shorter is better. Important warning: changing the slug changes the permalink, and existing inbound links to the old URL will break unless you add a redirect.

Below those are two checkboxes. Mark as cornerstone content flags a page as one of your most important, so Vibe's scanners and internal-link suggestions prioritize it. Mark as a pillar page sets the page up as the anchor of a topic cluster that supporting posts link back to.

The advanced tabs

Further down are collapsible sections. Live analysis is open by default and holds the running list of recommendations. The two you will reach for most are Advanced and Social overrides.

The Advanced section holds Canonical URL and the robots controls. Only set a Canonical URL when this page is a duplicate of another page and you want search engines to credit the original. The noindex checkbox keeps the page out of search results entirely, and nofollow tells engines not to follow the links on it. Leave both unchecked for normal pages.

The Social overrides section lets you set an Open Graph title, description, and image for social sharing, plus separate Twitter versions. The recommended image size is 1200 by 630. If you leave these blank, they fall back gracefully: Open Graph fills from your SEO title and description, and if there is no OG image it uses the featured image.

What good looks like, and common mistakes

A well-tuned page has a focus keyphrase set, a title and description inside their character ranges, both previews reading cleanly, and a green score with no open recommendations. Click Update to save, the same as any WordPress edit.

The mistakes to avoid: leaving the focus keyphrase blank, which means no analysis runs at all; stuffing the title past 60 characters so Google cuts it off; and editing the slug on a published page without adding a redirect. If you migrated from Yoast or Rank Math and see a notice about Mirror mode, that is normal. Vibe keeps writing to the old plugin's fields so the live page stays correct until Vibe fully takes over.
