## Descripción

WordPress has one small checkbox – **Settings  Reading  “Discourage search engines
from indexing this site”** – that quietly tells Google and every other search engine
to stay away. It’s meant for sites still under construction, and forgetting to switch
it off at launch is one of the most common (and most expensive) WordPress mistakes:
your new site looks perfect, but weeks pass with no organic traffic because search
engines were told not to look.

SiteCare Search Engine Visibility makes that hidden setting impossible to miss. 
A small eye icon sits in your admin bar on every page:

 * **Green eye** – your site is visible to search engines.
 * **Red eye** – your site is hidden from search engines.

One glance tells you where you stand. And if your site is hidden, you don’t even
have to hunt for the setting: a clear warning appears in your dashboard with a **
one-click “Make my site visible” button** that fixes it instantly. There’s nothing
to configure, no dashboard to check, and no measurable effect on performance – install
it once and never get caught out by that checkbox again.

### Key Features

 * Red/green eye icon in the admin bar indicating search engine visibility at a 
   glance
 * **Dashboard warning with a one-click fix** whenever your site is accidentally
   hidden from search engines
 * **Email alert the moment your site becomes hidden** – even changes made directly
   in the database are caught by a twice-daily check, so you find out without being
   logged in
 * Direct access to the Search Engine Visibility settings
 * Works out of the box with no configuration required
 * Ships fully translated into five world languages – German, Spanish, French, Portuguese
   and Russian – plus Czech.
 * Lightweight and efficient, with minimal impact on performance
 * Support development via [Buy Me a Coffee](https://buymeacoffee.com/mchncd)

## Instalación

#### From your WordPress dashboard (recommended)

 1. Go to **Plugins  Add New** and search for “SiteCare Search Engine Visibility”.
 2. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.

#### Manual upload

 1. Download the plugin .zip file.
 2. Go to **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin** and choose the .zip.
 3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.

#### Getting started

There’s nothing to set up. The eye icon appears in your admin bar right away – green
if your site is visible to search engines, red if it’s hidden. Click it any time
to open the setting.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### What does the plugin do?

Displays a red or green eye icon in the admin bar to monitor your site’s search 
engine visibility.

### How do I use it?

Click the icon to go directly to the Search Engine Visibility settings page.

### Does it require any configuration?

No, it works immediately after activation.

### How can I tell if my site is visible?

Red eye = site is hidden from search engines; Green eye = site is visible.

### What if my site is hidden?

You’ll see a clear warning in your dashboard with a one-click “Make my site visible”
button that fixes the setting instantly. You can also dismiss the warning; it comes
back automatically if the site is ever hidden again.

### Will I find out if I am not logged in?

Yes. The moment the setting flips to “hidden”, the plugin emails the site administrator–
and a twice-daily background check catches even changes made directly in the database(
for example by a migration tool). You get one email per incident, never a flood.

### Can I support the plugin development?

Yes, via [Buy Me a Coffee](https://buymeacoffee.com/mchncd).

I install this plugin on various web sites. It is helpful to see the red or green
icon up top in the black admin bar area. For developing web sites the red icon reminds
me that I need to make the site searchable for search engines. Thank you very much!
