All your episodes, on your website

You own your episodes, not these large platforms, and you already know how to publish a podcast and make it look good:

• A podcast is a Joomla regular category. Show it as usual on the frontend with modules, tags, custom fields,...
• Each episode is an article in that category
• Your podcast automatically uses your website design, no integration work needed

Publish to all major platforms

Register an account with Apple, Google or Spotify and make your podcast available to the world with a few clicks. All the technical work is already done, only one link to copy/paste.

Fixed, predictable and configurable Joomla SEF URLs

• SEF URLS are based on content titles and categories, not menu items
• Change the site menu: URLs will not change anymore, you don't lose your SEO signals
• No need to create menu items for each article at all
• Content linked from different places always the same URL, no more duplicates
• Many options to configure URLs: with or without categories, ids, date,...

Any Joomla SEF URL can be customized

• Customize a SEF URL by just clicking on it in the list
• A redirect is automatically created from the previous version to the new, so you don't lose SEO signals

SEF URLs continuity from sh404SEF

• 4SEF creates the same SEF URLs as sh404SEF, with only rare exceptions
• The 4SEF import wizard can import sh404SEF custom and automatic SEF URLs
• Import is best done while still on Joomla 3

Works like Google or Bing

Just like a search engine, 4SEO crawls your site in the background to understand it and collect information about each page.

It figures out automatically multiple URLs to same content, adds rel=canonical links and makes sure duplicates are not listed in sitemap. And detects duplicate page title or description and many other important SEO information.

Joomla content writing assistance...

With a single-click connection to Google Search Console, 4SEO extracts the search results best performing keywords and link information directly from the only place they can be found: Google.

From thousands of keywords and pages, 4SEO identifies the top Keyword Opportunities, Pages Opportunities and build its Pages cannibalization report to use in your Joomla content writing.

...with a built-in keyword and page search results tracker

Instantly view your keywords and pages position, impressions and clicks in Google Search results over the last week to 16 months.

Available for as many keywords and pages as Google has data for.

Google public algorithm updates are displayed on top of all charts, to immediately know if you have been affected.

Custom page title or description for any page of the site, in the admin...

Control and create page title and meta description in one single location.

4SEO shows an accurate, live, Google search results simulation, for both mobile and desktop. Robots tags addition is a single click. And you also get a QRCode for each page, which you can use for sharing on apps or printed materials.

Make Google understand your content with Structured Data. Get Rich Snippets

Maybe the most important SEO action you can have on your site in 2022?

4SEO automatically  generates structured data for your Joomla articles, without any configuration. Search engines will understand your content better. Rich snippets will bring in more traffic.

For other content types than articles, create simple rules for structured data types supported by Google. Rules apply from one single page to many URLs, components or categories. Built-in rules let you start without configuration.

XML sitemap generation

An XML sitemap only matters to SEO when it does NOT have all the pages of your site.

4SEO automatically creates, updates and submits to Google and Bing an SEO-efficient sitemap: canonical URLs are included, duplicates or archived content are excluded. Robots meta tag and robots.txt file are complied with.

4SEO also automatically removes from your sitemap content older than a number of days you define, for the categories you desire.

No plugin needed, all sitemap creation is based on the permanent full site analysis . Dedicated support for Hikashop, J2Store, Virtuemart, IgniteGallery or Phoca Gallery will optimize even more sitemap URL or Image selection.

Custom error pages

Keep your visitors on the site with custom error pages. Displayed within your normal template, visitors feel at home and do not leave.

Errors happen, be it 404s or anything else. Explain what happened with custom text or image for each type of error.

And let 4SEO suggests similar pages automatically so that your lost visitor finds what they were looking for.

Easy redirections

Redirecting one page to another after deleting content or modifying it is typical day-to-day SEO work.

4SEO rule-based operation makes it as easy to redirect just one or hundreds of pages at a time.

No need to fiddle with .htaccess codes. You can use regular expressions if you want to, but our wildcard-based syntax is ultra-simple to work with.

And for simple, one-to-one redirects, 4SEO has aliases: just type in a URL in the aliases field of a page to instantly create a redirect.

Multiple analytics providers

With support for multiple Analytics providers including Google, Cloudflare, Clarity, Facebook Pixels or Matomo, it's really easy to measure traffic and user behavior on your site, with various degrees of privacy and customizations.

Set up rules to add analytics codes to various parts of your site. Add custom code manually, right from the admin instead of template overrides.
