Site Doctor scans for canonical tags pointing at other people's domains, noindex left on by accident, and the other quiet settings that hand your rankings to somebody else — then fixes them in bulk, with an undo log.
Written after diagnosing exactly this on our own network
Content importers routinely write a canonical tag pointing back at the source domain. Every imported post then tells Google to credit somebody else. Traffic drains for months and nothing in the dashboard looks wrong.
Finds every post whose canonical points somewhere other than your own domain, grouped by which plugin wrote it.
Correct hundreds of posts in one pass, with every change written to an undo log you can roll back.
Ongoing protection that stops a rogue plugin from re-writing the same tags after you have fixed them.
The scan names the problem, the count, and the plugin responsible. The fix runs in bulk and stays reversible.
Scanned 1,284 posts · 412 pointing at external domains.
Everything is reversible. Nothing is changed without being logged first.
Every post, page and archive checked against your own domain.
Finds noindex and nofollow left on by a plugin, a migration or a staging site that went live.
Fix by post type, by category, by date range or by the plugin that caused it.
Every change recorded with its previous value and a one-click rollback.
Blocks late-firing filters from re-writing corrected tags on output.
Flags posts duplicated by an importer running twice.
Checks that what is in your sitemap matches what is actually indexable.
Records the state at scan time so you can show a client what changed and when.

No changes are made. You get a count and a cause.
See the exact list of posts and the exact tag that would change.
