Import Data From Your Old WordPress SEO Plugin
Many people stick with an SEO plugin they have outgrown because they don’t want to redo years of titles, descriptions, and redirects. You do not have to. CrawlWP finds the data your old plugin saved and copies it across in a few clicks.
What it does
What the CrawlWP SEO data importer does
Import your data from six popular WordPress SEO plugins with one click per plugin.
On this page
Several plugins supported
Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, and Slim SEO.
Found automatically
CrawlWP finds each SEO plugin’s data, even if it is deactivated, as long as the data is still in your database.
See the counts first
Each plugin shows how many posts, terms, and redirects it holds before you import.
Titles and descriptions
Your custom SEO titles and meta descriptions come across.
Robots rules and canonical URLs
noindex, nofollow, and canonical settings are copied too.
Social images
The images you set for Facebook, X, and other sites are carried over.
Redirects too
Your redirects are copied from where your old SEO plugin stored them.
One click per plugin
Click Import next to the plugin you are leaving.
Your CrawlWP values are safe
Titles and descriptions already in CrawlWP are kept unless you tick overwrite.
Nothing is deleted
The importer copies your data. Your old plugin’s data stays where it is.
Switch back at any time
Reactivate your old plugin and everything it had is still there.
Free
Importing SEO data is part of CrawlWP Lite, the free version.
Why it matters
Why switching SEO plugins is easier than you think
The hardest part of changing SEO plugins is the data: years of titles, descriptions, and redirects. Redoing them by hand could take weeks.
The importer copies them for you, and CrawlWP never changes your URLs. To search engines, your site looks the same after the switch.
How it works
Switch SEO plugins in three steps
It usually takes a few minutes to switch from another WordPress SEO plugin.
Step 1
Install CrawlWP
Keep your old plugin installed for now. CrawlWP reads its data straight from your database.
Step 2
Import your data
Open Import SEO Data, check the counts, then click Import next to your old plugin. Tick overwrite only if you want to replace titles and descriptions already in CrawlWP.
Step 3
Check, then deactivate
Spot-check a few posts, then deactivate your old plugin so two plugins do not add the same tags.
After the import
Tidy up after you switch
The importer does the heavy lifting. A few quick checks finish the job.
Questions
Importing SEO data questions
Answers to the questions people ask most about moving to CrawlWP from another SEO plugin.
Which plugins can I import from?
Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, and Slim SEO.
What exactly is copied?
SEO titles, meta descriptions, robots rules, canonical URLs, social images, and redirects.
Will I lose my rankings if I switch?
No. The importer keeps your titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, and redirects, and CrawlWP never changes your URLs.
Is anything deleted from my old plugin?
No. The import copies your data rather than moving it, so reactivating the old plugin brings back exactly what it had.
Can I import from a plugin I already deactivated?
Yes, as long as its data is still in your database. CrawlWP finds it and shows the counts.
Will the import replace titles I already set in CrawlWP?
No. Existing CrawlWP titles and descriptions are kept unless you tick overwrite.
Can I keep both plugins active?
Not for long. Running two SEO plugins at once adds duplicate meta tags and competing sitemaps. Import your data, then deactivate the old one.
Is the importer free?
Yes. It is part of CrawlWP Lite, the free version.
