Description
AI for SEO is an alt text & metadata bulk generator with SEO Autopilot, optimize pages, posts, products, and images automatically. Built for WooCommerce SEO and high-volume sites.
Sync generated focus keyphrases, meta titles, meta descriptions and social-media tags to your existing stack (Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, and others). Use ‘Generate with AI’ buttons where you work: Block Editor (Gutenberg), Media Library, Elementor, BeTheme’s BeBuilder, or the top admin bar. Think of AI for SEO as your SEO Copilot wherever you edit.
Achieve better metadata and alt text results than with ChatGPT. AI for SEO understands your entire website and uses expertly crafted SEO prompts designed to drive real search traffic.
Image SEO at scale: Create alt text, image titles, captions, and descriptions across your library (jpg, png, gif, webp, avif). Render-level alt/title injection helps when themes don’t output attributes correctly.
Accessibility ready: Helps meet European Accessibility Act (EAA) expectations by filling missing alt text for a more inclusive experience.
Free for most small/medium sites: If your balance falls below 100 Credits, we add 5 free Credits daily, so you can keep generating at no cost.

FAQ
-
Can I use *AI for SEO* alongside another SEO plugin?
-
Yes, AI for SEO is compatible with all major SEO plugins. The metadata generated by AI for SEO can be synchronized with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, All in One SEO, Slim SEO, SEO Simple Pack, Squirrly SEO, The SEO Framework, and Blog2Social. This ensures your metadata remains up-to-date and seamlessly integrates with your preferred SEO tool.
-
Use the output mode in Settings. Choose between Disable, Force, Replace (default), or Complement existing meta tags to match your setup with Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, etc.
-
Will the AI tool automatically analyze my content?
-
Yes, the AI tool will generate SEO-relevant data based on the content of the selected page, blog post or media file.
-
Will *AI for SEO* overwrite my existing SEO fields?
-
Not unless you enable it. By default, we don’t overwrite existing data. You can explicitly allow overwriting (and even include “complete” entries) in Settings.
-
Can I choose which media attributes the plugin should generate?
-
Yes, AI for SEO lets you decide which media attributes (like ‘alt text’ or ‘title’) should be generated. You can configure this in the ‘Active Media Attributes:’ section of the settings to match your content needs. Simply select the desired attributes and the SEO Autopilot will generate the data accordingly.
-
Will *AI for SEO* slow down my website?
-
The plugin is optimized for maximum performance and we are not aware of any noticeable performance effects on the backend or the frontend.
-
How are Credits consumed in the *AI for SEO* plugin?
-
Credits are consumed when the AI generates metadata or media attributes for your content entries. Each generation costs Credits, depending on your settings.
-
Do unused Credits expire at the end of the month?
-
No, any unused Credits will roll over to the next month, allowing you to fully utilize your Credits without losing them at the end of each billing cycle.
-
Can I try the *AI for SEO* plugin without purchasing a subscription?
-
Yes, the free plan provides you with 100 Credits, allowing you to experiment with AI-generated SEO content without any cost. In addition, we provide you with 5 free Credits every day if your balance falls below 100 Credits.
-
When should I choose a Subscription, Credit Packs, or PAYG?
-
- Choose Subscription if you want ongoing features and steady Credits. Subscriptions unlock advanced generation options and provide a continuous flow of Credits for new content over time.
- Choose Credit Packs for one-time top-ups when you need a larger burst of generations. Credit Packs are ideal as an add-on to an active subscription when you temporarily need more Credits.
- Choose PAYG (Pay As You Go) if you prefer automatic top-ups. When your balance drops below 100 Credits, PAYG purchases additional Credits for you. Functionally it works like a Credit Pack, but the top-up happens automatically.
-
Does *AI for SEO* support multi-language websites?
-
Yes, the plugin does support multi-language websites. The plugin also supports the WPML-plugin through which you can generate metadata and media attributes for all available languages separately.
-
Does *AI for SEO* support Multi-Site installations?
-
Yes, AI for SEO fully supports Multi-Site installations. Simply purchase a subscription on your primary website and use the same license owner and license key across all your sub-sites.
-
Can I use *AI for SEO* on a staging or local development site?
-
Yes, you can use AI for SEO on staging or local development sites.
-
What editors are supported?
-
AI for SEO supports all editors and themes. For extra convenience, we’ve added additional “Generate with AI” buttons in Elementor, BeTheme (Muffin-Builder / Be-Builder), and the standard editor. You can generate metadata from the plugin dashboard, the metadata editor, and SEO Autopilot without a page builder.
-
Yes. Enter the same license owner + key under AI for SEO > Account on each site to link them. Linked sites share the same credits pool, and you can export/import settings between them. Works with Multisite and staging.
-
I’m an agency with multiple client websites. How do I set things up?
-
- We recommend setting up your agency AI for SEO account via a primary site (e.g., your agency site) and purchasing a subscription there. Alternatively, you can purchase directly on our website: https://aiforseo.ai/pricing
- After purchasing a subscription, you receive your license owner and key by email and they are also visible in your AI for SEO Account area.
- Install the AI for SEO plugin on each client website you manage. Go to AI for SEO > Account on each site.
- Enter the same license owner + key to link them to the same account. Linked sites share the same subscription and Credits pool.
-
Does *AI for SEO* collect or store my content?
-
AI for SEO sends only the text needed to generate metadata to our AI service. We don’t add tracking scripts to your site, and we don’t publish your content. You can review privacy options (generator hints, white-label, incognito) under AI for SEO > Account > Privacy & Agreements.
-
Can I control who can use *AI for SEO* in my WordPress?
-
Yes. In Settings, you can restrict access by user role. Agencies can also use Incognito and White-Label options in AI for SEO > Account.
-
How do I hide certain post types from *AI for SEO* dashboards?
-
Go to AI for SEO > Settings and look for “Active Post Types.” Uncheck any content types you want to hide. The plugin will keep their metadata untouched but removes them from dashboards, widgets, and SEO Autopilot queues until you re-enable them.
-
Is AI-generated SEO-content harmful to my SEO-ranking?
-
Currently, Google’s stance on the use of AI or automation in content creation is generally permissive, as indicated in a Google Developers blog post from February 2023. They state that appropriate use of AI or automation is not against their guidelines. More information can be found at https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/02/google-search-and-ai-content.
-
Will all the generated texts disappear if I uninstall the plugin?
-
It depends on how the metadata is stored and used. If AI for SEO has synchronized the generated metadata with a third-party SEO plugin like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, or similar, then the metadata will remain even after uninstalling AI for SEO. You can check and enable synchronization in your AI for SEO settings.
However, if synchronization was not enabled, and AI for SEO was solely responsible for outputting meta tags on your site, then those tags will no longer be generated once the plugin is deactivated or uninstalled.
-
Can you add feature x, y or z to the plugin?
-
We are always open to suggestions and feedback. Please email us at info@aiforseo.ai with your suggestions.
