AI for SEO – Bulk Generate Metadata, Alt Text, Image Titles, Captions, Descriptions

FAQ

What are the benefits of providing SEO metadata for my website?

Providing SEO metadata helps search engines better understand your content, which can lead to higher rankings in search results. This improvement in visibility can drive more clicks, visitors, sales, and leads to your website.

What are the benefits of providing alt text, titles, captions, and descriptions for images on my website?

Including image metadata helps search engines better interpret your images, potentially boosting your rankings in image search results and the overall quality of your website. In addition, it also shows your commitment to accessibility, catering to a wider audience and complying with accessibility standards.

How can I automate the process of filling in missing SEO data for my website?

You can automate the generation of missing SEO data by clicking on any content tab (‘Pages,’ ‘Posts,’ ‘Products,’ etc.) within the AI for SEO plugin and then activating the ‘Fill missing metadata automatically’ option.

How can I automate the process of filling in missing alt text, titles, captions, and descriptions for images on my website?

You can automate missing image metadata by clicking on the ‘Media’ tab within the AI for SEO plugin and then activating the ‘Fill missing media attributes automatically’ option.

Can I turn off the automation feature after I’ve activated it?

Yes, just deactivate the ‘Fill missing metadata automatically’ option to stop generating new SEO metadata automatically. The same applies to the ‘Fill missing media attributes automatically’ option for image metadata.

Does this automation feature work for new content?

Yes, the ‘Fill missing metadata automatically’ option will intelligently fill in missing SEO metadata, both for existing content and new entries as they’re created.

Will this automation affect the SEO data that I have already manually edited?

The automation feature does not affect metadata that is already been edited or created by the user, so it does not overwrite existing data.

Is there any way to control what metadata is automatically filled?

In the settings, we provide an option to include or exclude specific meta tags from the output in the header by our plugin. This allows you to customize the automation process to suit your needs.

How can I retry all failed metadata generations with just one click?

You can find the ‘Retry all failed’ button in any content tab. This allows you to retry all failed metadata generations with a single click, saving you time and effort.

Why is the automatic metadata or media attributes generation pending?

We use WordPress’s internal task scheduler to manage automatic generation efficiently. This helps prevent overloading your server with too many simultaneous tasks.

If you see a ‘Pending’ status in the ‘SEO coverage’ column, it means one of two things:

1. The plugin is waiting for the next scheduled task to run (typically within 1-5 minutes).
2. The plugin is currently generating data for other entries.

You can check the AI for SEO dashboard to see if any generation is in progress for other items. If many items are pending, it may take longer to process them all.

Rest assured, the plugin will automatically generate data for all pending items over time. If you need immediate results, you can use the manual generation option for specific items.

How do I navigate to the page I want to edit for SEO?

You can navigate to the page or post you want to edit through the normal editor, using a page builder like Elementor, or by opening the page directly in the frontend.

Are credits renewed in the Free plan?

The free plan renews on a daily basis. You will receive 5 free credits every day, allowing you to continue using the basic features of the plugin at no cost.

What do I need to do to receive the free daily credits?

You don’t need to do anything—they’ll be automatically added to your account every day. Just make sure the plugin remains active on your website.

Will I still receive the free daily credits if I’m on a paid plan?

Yes, you’ll continue to receive the free daily credits even if you’re on a paid plan. These credits are in addition to those included in your plan.

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 5 credits, regardless of the content’s word count or image size.
Please note that credits are not consumed when you manually edit the metadata or media attributes. Also, credits-wise, it does not make a difference if you only generate metadata for a single field (e.g., the title) or for all fields at once.
On the other hand, if you do not make any changes to the content, you can generate the metadata again without consuming additional credits. However, if you make changes to the content, you will need to generate the metadata again, which will consume additional credits.

Can I try the *AI for SEO* plugin without purchasing a plan?
