The 4-Step Setup Flow
When you activate SearchNexa for the first time, the wizard launches automatically to set safe baseline defaults without overwriting existing post meta.
Step 1: Entity identity — Define whether your site represents an Organization or a Personal brand. Upload your official publisher logo and legal business name.
Step 2: Title structure — Select your default title delimiter and baseline pattern (%title% %sep% %sitename%).
Step 3: Indexation rules — Specify which post types should be indexed in XML sitemaps and set internal search result pages to noindex, follow.
Step 4: Migration detection — If Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or SEOPress is detected, the wizard prompts you to run a lossless 1-click import.
2. Safe Defaults by Design
SearchNexa applies sensible defaults that protect your site from indexing penalties from day one. Author archives on single-author sites are automatically redirected to avoid duplicate content, and attachment pages are permanently redirected to their parent posts.
