Free SEO scan and plain-English action plan from SEO S.A.M.

== Description ==

SEO S.A.M Lite gives WordPress site owners a simple free SEO scan and action plan.

SAM stands for Search Analysis & Marketing. The Lite plugin checks common on-site SEO issues and explains what needs attention in plain English.

= What SAM Lite includes =

* A free local SEO scan.
* A simple score.
* A list of common page-level SEO issues.
* Plain-English explanations.
* A practical action plan.
* Links to learn about SEO S.A.M Pro.

= What SAM Pro adds =

SEO S.A.M Pro is a separate paid plugin available from https://seo-sam.mallorcatech.es/.

Pro is the worker version of SAM. It adds automatic safe fixes, job tracking, Search Console intelligence, PDF reports, competitor gaps, content growth tools, data connectors, and deeper SEO workflows.

SEO S.A.M Pro is designed to feel different from a normal SEO plugin. Instead of only showing settings and warnings, SAM uses its own built-in SEO logic, business memory, issue evidence, and safe-fix rules to decide what should happen next. The core system does not require customers to buy a separate AI subscription.

The WordPress.org plugin is the free Lite edition. The paid Pro edition is distributed separately from the SEO S.A.M website.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/seo-s-a-m-search-analysis-marketing` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Open SEO S.A.M in the WordPress admin menu.
4. Run the free SEO scan.
5. Review the score and action plan.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does the free plugin fix SEO issues automatically? =

No. SAM Lite is the free diagnostic version. It scans the site and explains what needs attention. Automatic fixing is part of the separate SAM Pro plugin.

= Does SAM Lite send my site data to an external service? =

No. SAM Lite performs its scan locally inside WordPress. It does not send scan data to SEO S.A.M servers.

= Does SAM Lite use Google Search Console? =

No. Search Console connection is a Pro feature and is not included in this free plugin.

= Can I upgrade to Pro? =

Yes. You can learn about SAM Pro at https://seo-sam.mallorcatech.es/.

== Privacy ==

SAM Lite scans published site content locally in WordPress and stores the latest scan result in the WordPress database.

SAM Lite does not automatically send scan data to any third-party service.

The plugin includes links to the SEO S.A.M website. Those links only load if you click them.
