### Privacy Policy

SEO Metrics Helper asks for your consent when signing up and connecting your website
to SEO Metrics services. [Read our GDPR Compliant Privacy Policy](https://www.seometrics.net/privacy-policy/).

### Explanation of User Creation

The creation of a user within the context of the SEO Metrics plugin is aimed at 
enhancing user experience and security within the SEO Reporting Automation Software
ecosystem. This feature was implemented in response to identified demand for passwordless
login functionality.

When a user initiates a connection with the SEO Metrics plugin through the WordPress
dashboard, they are presented with a consent form. Upon agreement, a user account
is created for them with the username ’seo-metrics‘ and the email ‚helper@seometrics.
net‘. The password is randomly generated using WordPress’s default `wp_generate_password()`
function.

The primary purpose of creating an administrative user is to streamline the login
process for SEO Metrics users by eliminating the need for passwords. Additionally,
it facilitates the provision of temporary, passwordless access to selected users
or developers via the SEO Metrics Dashboard. This functionality empowers website
owners to exercise precise control over access permissions, determining who can 
access the system and for how long. Ultimately, the objective is to enable SEO executives
to efficiently perform website-related tasks within a specified timeframe, all while
maintaining stringent security measures.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/seo-metrics` directory, or 
    install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ screen in WordPress.
 3. Use the Dashboard -> SEO Metrics menu screen to sign up for SEO Metrics services

### 󠀁[Finally, a reporting tool that doesn’t eat up my weekends](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/finally-a-reporting-tool-that-doesnt-eat-up-my-weekends/)󠁿

I’m really impressed with how this pulls everything together. Usually, I have to
jump between Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster, and Analytics to get a full 
picture for my clients. This tool fetches all of it in a single click. Being able
to show current rankings alongside the backlinks we’ve built and the GMB posts we’ve
published in one white labeled PDF makes us look incredibly organized. It’s high
level enough for the client to understand but has all the data we need as an agency.
Honestly, the biggest win for me with SEOMetrics hasn't just been the reporting,
but the "request link" feature for clients. If you’ve ever chased a client for weeks
trying to get storefront photos or GMB restoration docs, you know the struggle. 
I just send them one link, they upload, and it’s stored right there. Plus, the AI
post generator for Google Business Profiles actually creates decent images and captions
that don't look like generic bot crap. It’s saved our team so much back and forth
time.
