One payment · No subscription · Works on any website
Your website footer says © 2021.
Your customers notice.
An old year in the footer is the fastest way to look closed, abandoned, or out of business — before a visitor reads a single word about you. AutoYear keeps that year current forever, on its own. Install once, pay once. No developer, no monthly fee.
- ✓ 2-minute install
- ✓ No account, no login to your site
- ✓ One-time payment, yours forever
A stale year quietly costs you customers
It’s a tiny detail that sends a loud signal.
“Are they even still open?”
A footer stuck two or three years back reads as neglected. New visitors hesitate, and hesitation is a lost booking, call, or sale.
Trust is decided in seconds
People judge credibility before they read. A current year is a small, constant signal that someone is home and paying attention.
You’ll forget again next year
Updating it by hand means remembering every January — and paying a developer to change one number. AutoYear does it on every visit, forever.
Honest note: we sell trust and a professional look, not SEO. The copyright year is not a Google ranking factor and we won’t pretend it is. What it does affect is the first impression a real human forms about whether your business is alive.

Questions, answered
Do I need to be technical to install this?
No. On WordPress it’s Upload → Activate, like any plugin — no settings. On other sites it’s one line of code pasted into the footer. There’s a full picture guide.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once and it’s yours. The year keeps updating on its own because it reads the current date in the visitor’s browser — it doesn’t depend on any server of ours.
Will it change other years, like a founding date?
No. It only updates a year in a copyright context or in the footer. “Established 2004”, product names, phone numbers and legal IDs are left exactly as they are.
Does this help my SEO?
We won’t claim it does — the copyright year isn’t a ranking factor. What it affects is the impression a human visitor forms: whether your business looks current and open.
Do you get access to my website?
Never. We don’t ask for your login and the plugin sends nothing to us. You install it yourself and it runs entirely inside your own site.
Can I get an invoice?
Yes. Our checkout issues a valid invoice with the correct tax for your country, so you can expense it.
¿Puedo pagar con OXXO/SPEI y recibir factura (CFDI)?
Sí. En México puedes pagar con tarjeta, OXXO o SPEI y recibir un CFDI — solo agrega tu RFC al momento de pagar.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — every purchase comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. You can also test the real engine free in the live demo before buying, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
How does “We fix it for you” work?
After checkout we email you within one business day. On WordPress, you invite us as a temporary user (we guide you — takes a minute, and you revoke it right after). On any other builder, we either walk you through pasting one line on a quick call, or your hosting/builder’s code box does it. We verify the fix, send you before/after screenshots, and touch nothing else on your site.
Stop looking abandoned. Fix it in two minutes.
One payment, install once, and your footer year is handled — this year and every year after.
