Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Local SEO By Ankit Rawat

No. Maps use Leaflet, which is bundled with the plugin. Map tiles come from the provider configured in settings; the default is OpenStreetMap.

The plugin's PHP makes no outbound HTTP requests and includes no telemetry or analytics. The only third-party requests are map tiles fetched by your visitors' browsers on pages that display a map, and the optional admin-only support link. Both are described under External Services.

Mark the location as a Service-Area Business. Its street address and exact coordinates are then withheld from structured data, the store locator, the REST API, the KML feed, and the sitemap. Configured service areas are published instead.

Yes. Existing settings are read from the same option key used since 4.0.0 and are not modified by this release. Values from 3.3 are copied on first admin load after upgrade; the old keys are left in the database.

No. If you do not enable multi-location mode, the sitewide JSON-LD is produced by the same code path and has the same shape as in 4.1.0. Multi-location features are additive and stay off until you use them.

Use Google's Rich Results Test after enabling schema and entering real business details. The plugin's own Schema Inspector checks structural validity only; it cannot tell you whether Google will show a rich result.

Diagnostics run in wp-admin, not on the public site. On the front end the plugin adds JSON-LD, and adds CSS/JavaScript only on pages that use the store locator, a map, or a location template. Leaflet loads only where a map is rendered.

Yes, if both are configured to output LocalBusiness data. The plugin detects those plugins and warns you. Use local_seo_by_ankit_rawat_output_local_schema or local_seo_by_ankit_rawat_output_product_schema to disable this plugin's output where another plugin already provides it.

By default only on the front page, the posts index, and the WooCommerce shop. Product pages already have Product JSON-LD. Use the local_seo_by_ankit_rawat_embed_store_catalog filter to change placement.

Uninstalling removes the plugin's own settings and cached diagnostic reports. Your Locations, their details, reviews, and services are stored as regular WordPress content and are not deleted.
