Log in to your [Launchmind Dashboard](https://launchmind.io/backlinks/dashboard)
and navigate to the “Webshop Plugins” tab. Your API key is displayed in the green
box.

### Is the “Powered by Launchmind” branding required?
No. The branding is disabled by default. You can optionally enable it in the block
settings or shortcode attributes if you wish to display it.
## Reviews
### [Fijne WordPress-plugin voor SEO zonder gedoe](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fijne-wordpress-plugin-voor-seo-zonder-gedoe/)
[harrie07](https://profiles.wordpress.org/harrie07/) Siilo 6, 2026
Ik gebruik de Launchmind WordPress-plugin nu een tijdje en wat mij vooral aanspreekt
is hoe weinig tijd het kost. SEO stond altijd wel op mijn lijstje, maar eerlijk
gezegd kwam het er vaak niet van omdat het zoveel handmatig werk is. Na de onboarding
was eigenlijk alles duidelijk. De blogs worden automatisch aangemaakt en ik krijg
ze per mail ter goedkeuring. Met één klik staat het artikel live op mijn site. Ik
hoef niet meer in WordPress te rommelen of teksten te kopiëren en plakken. Wat ik
prettig vind, is dat ik wel de controle houd. Als iets niet past, keur ik het gewoon
niet goed. De content sluit goed aan bij mijn website en is duidelijk geschreven
met zowel Google als AI-tools in gedachten. Voor de prijs die je betaalt is dit
een fijne oplossing. Een SEO-specialist of marketeer kost al snel duizenden euro’s
per maand, terwijl dit veel werk uit handen neemt voor een fractie daarvan. Voor
mij werkt het vooral omdat het consistent doorgaat zonder dat ik er steeds bovenop
moet zitten. Al met al een handige plugin als je wel aan SEO wilt doen, maar geen
zin hebt in gedoe.
### [Already getting traffic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/already-getting-traffic/)
[voortkasumov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/voortkasumov/) Bowte 29, 2025
After just 3 weeks we are already getting visitors coming from various AI models.
Can not wait to see the results snowball even more. Next best thing.
### [Perfect for AI engines and SEO](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-for-ai-engines-and-seo/)
[cormanders](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cormanders/) Bowte 28, 2025
Does exactly what it promises LaunchMind automatically creates and publishes GEO
and SEO optimized blogs that help my website appear in AI engines and AI answers.
It saves a lot of time and already brings in more qualified traffic. Highly recommended.

## Changelog
#### 4.0.2
* Fix: Link previews on WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Slack now show
the correct article title and cover image instead of the parent page’s metadata.
Pre-4.0.2, SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO) had no context for Launchmind
post URLs and fell back to the metadata of the page that owned the `/blog/` path—
resulting in previews saying “Kennisbank” or “Blog” instead of the actual article
title.
* Fix: Added filters for `wpseo_title`, `wpseo_metadesc`, `wpseo_opengraph_title`,`
wpseo_opengraph_desc`, `wpseo_twitter_title`, `wpseo_twitter_description`, `wpseo_twitter_image`.
Equivalents for Rank Math and All in One SEO included.
* Fix: Added `pre_get_document_title` filter (WordPress core) so the browser tab
title is correct even when no SEO plugin is installed.
* Fix: `og:image`, `og:image:width/height/alt`, and `twitter:image` are now emitted
unconditionally from the Launchmind plugin — SEO plugins don’t know about Launchmind’s
Supabase-hosted images and never emit them via their own `opengraph_image` filter,
leaving link previews imageless. Emitting directly at `wp_head` priority 1 guarantees
the image is in the head.
#### 4.0.1
* Fix: No more duplicate `og:type`, `og:url`, `og:site_name`, or `og:image` tags
when Yoast SEO / Rank Math / AIOSEO is active. The 4.0.0 release emitted these
tags directly AND via SEO plugin filters, resulting in two copies in ``.
Yoast’s “website” default was rendering before Launchmind’s “article”, so Facebook/
LinkedIn link previews kept classifying posts as generic websites.
* Fix: Added filters for `wpseo_opengraph_type`, `rank_math/opengraph/facebook/
og_type`, and `aioseo_og_type` so the SEO plugin emits `og:type=article` directly
on Launchmind post pages.
* Fix: Added filters for `wpseo_opengraph_image` and `rank_math/opengraph/facebook/
image` so the SEO plugin emits the Launchmind cover image instead of falling
back to the site default.
* Improved: `emit_launchmind_head_tags()` now only emits `og:type`, `og:url`, `
og:site_name`, `og:image` when no SEO plugin is detected — preventing duplication.
Still always emits `og:image:width/height/alt`, `article:published_time`, `article:
modified_time`, `article:author` because SEO plugins don’t know Launchmind-specific
article data.
#### 4.0.0
* Major: Complete SEO rewrite — Launchmind now coexists with your existing SEO
plugin instead of fighting its output. Works cleanly with Yoast SEO, Rank Math,
All in One SEO, The SEO Framework, and SEOPress.
* Fix: Canonical URL now respects the WordPress permalink trailing-slash setting
via `user_trailingslashit`. No more canonical mismatches or 301-redirect loops
in Google Search Console.
* Fix: Removed duplicate canonical tags — the pre-4.0 code injected canonical twice
via wp_head and output-buffer regex. Now emitted once via standard SEO-plugin
filters.
* Fix: `` and `<meta description>` are no longer overridden when a SEO plugin
is active — your Yoast/Rank Math templates are respected. Launchmind only overrides
canonical, og:type=article, og:image, hreflang, and JSON-LD Article schema.
* Fix: `/blog/sitemap.xml` and `/wp-sitemap.xml` now emit trailing-slash URLs matching
the canonical.
* New: Hreflang `<link rel="alternate">` tags emitted at wp_head priority 1, ahead
of SEO plugin hreflang output, so Google correctly identifies language variants.
* New: Article JSON-LD schema moved to wp_footer to avoid conflicts with SEO plugin
schema blocks in the head.
* New: Emergency escape hatch — add `define('LAUNCHMIND_SEO_LEGACY_MODE', true);`
to wp-config.php to revert to pre-4.0 behavior if a customer site reveals a conflict.
Will be removed in 4.1.
* Removed: Output buffer regex-stripping of canonical/og:title/og:url/og:description/
og:image tags. No longer mutating the HTML stream — works on any host, any cache
plugin.
* Removed: `remove_action` calls that forcibly unhooked Yoast/Rank Math/AIOSEO
wp_head tags. We now coexist.
* Net: ~170 lines removed, ~250 lines added across 3 new classes. Smaller attack
surface, dramatically better compatibility.
#### 2.11.0
* New: Pagination on the blog overview shortcode — visitors can now browse through
all published articles with prev/next links
* New: `lm_page` query parameter for pagination state (avoids conflict with WordPress’s
reserved `page` var)
* New: Pagination styling with full dark/light/auto theme support and mobile-responsive
layout
* Improved: Blog list shortcode fetches one extra post to detect next page without
needing API total count

plugins
