SEO Images for WordPress
Images are part of how a post ranks and how it gets read. HaloSEO handles the image work on WordPress as part of publishing, not as a separate job you have to remember.
How HaloSEO connects to WordPress
You connect your WordPress site to HaloSEO once. The connection uses the WordPress REST API with an application password, or the HaloSEO plugin if you prefer to install one. HaloSEO needs permission to create and edit posts, upload media, and set featured images. It does not need your admin password, and it does not touch your theme files, plugins or database directly. You can revoke the connection from your WordPress users screen at any time.
What the published post looks like
The post is published as a normal WordPress post, in your own theme. Headings, paragraphs, lists and images use the same styles as everything else on your site. Images are uploaded to your media library, given alt text and a file name that matches the topic, and sized by your theme the way any other image is. There is no HaloSEO wrapper, no custom template and no badge. A reader cannot tell which posts came from HaloSEO unless you tell them.
What happens on WordPress that does not happen elsewhere
WordPress gives HaloSEO a media library, so images are stored on your own server and served from your own domain. It gives us the featured image field, so a post can carry a lead image in your theme's archive and social previews. It gives us categories, tags and permalinks, so posts slot into the structure you already have. And it gives us revisions, so every change HaloSEO makes is logged and can be rolled back from the editor.
What breaks, and what happens when it does
The most common failure is the connection. If your application password is revoked, your security plugin blocks the REST API, or your host changes something, publishing stops. HaloSEO marks the post as failed and tells you in the dashboard. It does not retry forever and it does not publish a partial post. If an image upload fails, the post still publishes without that image and the failure is logged. If your site is down when a post is due, it waits and tries again later.
Who this is not right for
This is not right for you if you want to approve every image by hand before it goes live, or if your site blocks the REST API and you cannot change that. It is also not right for sites where images must come from a licensed stock account you control, because HaloSEO does not log into third party stock services on your behalf.
