Pen to Kami

Features  /  SEO

SEO that just works — on every blog, free and Pro alike.

Most blogging tools treat search engines as someone else's problem — bolt on a plugin, buy a yearly subscription, stare at a dashboard full of red and green dots that mean nothing. I think that's backwards. Search engines just need to read your post, understand what it's about, and link to it. Pen to Kami does that out of the box for every blog. No plugins. No checklists. No Pro tier required.

Structured data on every post

Each post ships with proper schema.org markup — Article type, author, datePublished, dateModified, hero image, the lot. Google reads it to build rich result cards. You don't configure it; you just publish.

OpenGraph and Twitter Cards

Paste a post link into Slack, Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Discord, or anywhere with a link preview, and it renders correctly — title, description, image, author. The tags are generated from your post; override any of them per-post if you want.

Editable meta titles and descriptions

A meta title and description are suggested from your content; you can edit either per post, with character counts for what looks good in a Google result. No dashboard full of red and green dots scolding you about keyword density.

Sitemap.xml, kept current

Every blog gets a fresh sitemap that updates automatically when you publish, edit, or unpublish a post. Paste the URL into Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools and that's the whole setup.

Clean URLs

Your post lives at /your-post-slug, not /?p=4827 or /posts/2025/03/14/your-post-slug-as-it-was-on-page-load. Slugs are editable per post and stay stable when you rename the title — no broken links from a typo fix.

RSS, Atom, and JSON Feed

All three feed formats are generated automatically. They're for human readers more than search engines, but they also keep your blog plug-able into readers, aggregators, and the rest of the small web.

Canonical URLs everywhere

Every page declares its canonical URL. If you syndicate a post to another site or someone scrapes you, search engines know which copy is the source of truth and rank yours.

Server-rendered HTML

Googlebot, DuckDuckBot, and Marginalia see the same HTML your readers see. No JavaScript-required content, no waiting on hydration, no shadow DOM. Your words are in the page on first byte.

Performance is part of SEO

Core Web Vitals matter. Pen to Kami pages render in under a second on a slow connection because there's no third-party JavaScript, no fingerprint trackers, no analytics phoning home. Less to load = better scores = happier readers.

noindex where you want it

Drafts and unpublished posts are noindex'd automatically. Mark any post, page, or whole blog as noindex with a single checkbox to keep it out of search results entirely.
