Plugins used by sections
Google XML Sitemaps https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/ to automatically add sitemaps and robots.txt so that search engines can crawl the site. Germany
Schema Markup Rich Snippets https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/schema-markup-rich-snippets/, which is part of the RankMath suite, to manually add Schema Markup to selected sites (mostly to job postings). Search engines use this markup to rank such pages differently, i.e. in Google Jobs. (I am not particularly happy with the plugin as it adds some unneeded clutter to the editor window, but it is the only free plugin that allows adding markup for job postings and, so far, it works well.) Germany
