Great plugin, but too many features are becoming paywalled
What started as a great plugin and to be fair, still is... has gradually become more restrictive with each new version, increasingly pushing users toward the paid plan. I completely understand that developers need to earn money from their work and there is absolutely nothing wrong with offering premium features or encouraging users to upgrade. However, limiting basic things such as adding social profiles feels like going too far. Nobody is saying that premium features shouldn’t exist or that some functionality shouldn’t be reserved for paying users. But the core, basic features should remain available in the free version, especially when they are essential. The plugin was/is great because it helped fill some important gaps, especially now that we are entering the new era of AI Search. I just hope the focus remains on keeping the basic functionality genuinely useful for everyone, rather than progressively restricting it to push users toward a paid plan.

Very useful
This plugin offers many features that are essential today based on how the web is changing. There are a few other plugins but none offer everything together like RankReady. Thanks for this.
