Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

AI included in your subscription. With an active license, AI features work out of the box — no API key to configure. Each license includes a monthly allowance (about 140 satellite pages worth of generation).

A simple gauge in the settings shows your remaining usage as “≈ N pages left”. No Anthropic key is required: all AI requests go through the AI included in your subscription.

  • Full AI analysis — score, strengths, detected issues and prioritized suggestions via Claude Haiku (Anthropic)
  • “Analyze → Validate → Optimize” Wizard — Claude analyzes your page semantics, generates ~20 keywords to validate in one click, then automatically optimizes SEO title, meta description, Schema.org, Open Graph and canonical URL
  • AI-generated HTML content — H1, H2s, paragraphs and conclusion ready to paste into the editor
  • AI keyword research — primary, long-tail, local, PAA questions, LSI semantic clusters, CSV export
  • Google position tracking — via Serper.dev (Google Search API)
  • One-click auto-fix recommendations — apply all SEO fixes instantly
  • Progress reports — dashboard, charts, AI-generated executive summaries
  • Semantic Cluster (Cocon Sémantique) — automatically generate SEO-optimized satellite pages, interlinked and ready to index
  • Royalty-free images — optionally illustrate each satellite page with a relevant Unsplash photo (imported into your media library)
  • Manual publishing — generated satellite pages are always created as drafts; you review and publish each one yourself, so nothing goes live without your action

Compatibility

Fully compatible with Oxygen Builder, Elementor, Beaver Builder, WPBakery and the classic WordPress/Gutenberg editor. All meta tags and SEO data are injected via native WordPress hooks — the builder is never modified.
