A: Hello!

Thank you for your great question!

DiagnoSEO Pro WordPress SEO plugin is a mature and polished product. We develop the plugin since almost 3 years (source: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/diagnoseo/)

There are several areas where the DiagnoSEO Pro plugin outperforms Squirrly. Here are just a few examples:

Performance: DiagnoSEO Pro plugin is exceptionally lightweight. For a detailed comparison, check this resource: https://wphive.com/compare/plugins/diagnoseo/vs/squirrly-seo/ DiagnoSEO uses only 61.17KB of memory (the lowest among all WordPress SEO plugins), while Squirrly consumes 420.24KB (that's almost 7 times more memory usage than in DiagnoSEO Pro). Lower memory usage means better WordPress performance (which you can see in other metrics on that page), improved Core Web Vitals scores, and potentially higher search rankings.

AI-Powered Comments Generator: Generate initial comments for your blog posts directly within the WordPress editor, saving time and encouraging user interaction.

Affiliate Deeplink Hider: This feature allows you to hide affiliate links from bots by replacing traditional <a> tags with <span> tags. For example, on this page: https://diagnoseo.com/appsumo/, the link text "Visit the AppSumo Page" uses this approach. Compared to adding a nofollow attribute, this method offers better control over link equity distribution.

reviewedBy Schema Support (for E-A-T compliance): Mark articles as human-reviewed, a crucial addition as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent. This schema can help establish authority and trustworthiness.

SEO Category Widget for Nested Categories: Ideal for blogs or WooCommerce shops with complex category structures (with many categories). This widget improves both user experience and SEO. It's also compatible with WooCommerce.

Customizable XML Sitemap Names: Change the sitemap file name for better data protection.

Pricing and value (on AppSumo deal): The DiagnoSEO license is more affordable than Squirrly, even for Tier 1. Moreover DiagnoSEO is not only WordPress plugin. It is mainly full-stack AI-Powered SEO and content marketing toolset/toolkit. Our deal includes also tools to perform SEO audits, analyze competitors, research keywords, check backlinks, write articles using the latest AI models, and dozens more.

For a full feature comparison with Squirrly, check this page: https://diagnoseo.com/squirrly-seo-alternative/. Some other advantages over Squirrly SEO include, e.g.:

-Post ratings with stars and schema support (e.g. https://diagnoseo.com/blog/boost-wordpress-seo).
-Anchor text control on post lists.
-Option to set all external links to nofollow (works on Multisite too).
-Breadcrumbs with WAI-ARIA support.
-Complete integration with the most SEO friendly premium theme (Multi theme https://meetmulti.com/blog/seo-features/). E.g. thanks to this integration you can hide social media links to avoid link juice leaks, as implemented on https://diagnoseo.com/ (social media links in the footer). For all our clients with have a special promo code for Multi theme & Website Builder.

We constantly monitor SEO trends, so new important features will be added to DiagnoSEO as needed.

If anything important is missing for you, please email us at support@diagnoseo.com, and we’ll add it to our to-do list.

As for Nytro SEO, it's hard to compare it with DiagnoSEO because it's a different product. Nytro SEO uses a JavaScript code snippet to optimize the page using JavaScript (Client-Side Rendering). Server-Side Rendering (SSR) is a better SEO approach, so if you have a WordPress website, it would be better to optimize it using a plugin so that the rendered code is already optimized. You can read more details about SSR vs. CSR on our blog post here: https://diagnoseo.com/blog/server-side-vs-client-side/

As for the AI-powered metadata generator, it's already in our roadmap (https://diagnoseo.com/roadmap/) and will be released soon (as described here: https://diagnoseo.com/squirrly-seo-alternative/ in the section "Pro AI features comparison"). For now (in Tier 2), we have a dedicated tool called Snippet Preview (https://diagnoseo.com/snippet-preview/) that can optimize or create new snippets using the latest AI and best SEO practices (with live snippet preview).

Hope this helps!

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. I am happy to help!

Kind regards,
Adam
