Zinn® SEO how-to: The Protection screen

Step by step in Zinn® SEO: Find what an SEO spam hack leaves behind before Google does, and lock your most important pages against an accidental change.

The Protection screen

Find what an SEO spam hack leaves behind before Google does, and lock your most important pages against an accidental change.

  1. Open Protection — In WordPress, open SEO in the menu, then Protection under Technical SEO in the plugin's side menu. Find what an SEO spam hack leaves behind before Google does, and lock your most important pages against an accidental change.
  2. The Hacked-site scan tab — Open the Hacked-site scan tab. Scan for what SEO spam hacks leave behind — pages in another script, hidden links, unknown scripts — and see each finding.
  3. The SEO lock tab — Open the SEO lock tab. Lock your most important pages so a change of address, noindex or canonical needs a confirmation.
