🪄 Magic Fix
Detected issues come with a quiet “fix” affordance — AI generates a concrete suggestion, you review it, you apply it. Internal links, ALT text, grammar, titles, excerpts, featured images. No bulk “fix everything” that rewrites your site behind your back.

🪄 Magic Fix
Most plugins flag SEO issues; very few actually fix them. Magic Fix is SEO Engine’s AI-powered fixer — it sits next to each detected issue as a quiet, in-context affordance. Click it, and AI generates a concrete suggestion you can review before anything is written to your post.
No bulk “fix everything” button that rewrites your site behind your back; every change is shown to you as a search/replace diff first.
). All suggestions are generated in the post’s language (Polylang, WPML and Bogo supported).
Internal Links — section-aware suggestions:
- Extracts keywords from the current post, then builds a candidate pool from the same category, same tags, and keyword search
- AI ranks the most relevant related posts and proposes link placements split by section: Introduction, Body, Conclusion
- Multiple placement strategies per target — link existing text (preferred), add a short parenthetical, or insert a new sentence
- You pick which option (or none) to apply per suggested target post
- Polylang, WPML and Bogo aware: only candidates in the same language; translations of the current post are excluded
ALT Text — contextual generation:
- Scans post content for <img> tags missing or with empty alt attributes
- Generates ALT using post title, content excerpt, image filename, and attachment title/caption as context
- Constrained to short, plain functional descriptions (no “stunning”, “tranquil”, or “Image of…”)
- Updates the existing <img> tag in place — preserves all other attributes
- Up to 5 images per pass to keep the review surface manageable
Grammar & Typos — HTML-aware:
- AI returns precise search/replace pairs with 3-5 words of surrounding context
- Inline HTML inside the corrected phrase ( <strong>, <em>, links) is preserved exactly
- Each correction is shown before it’s applied; no blind rewrite of your prose
Title & Excerpt:
- Rewrite titles to your configured length range (default 30-75 chars) without losing the meaning
- Generate missing excerpts from content, or rewrite existing ones to a healthy 80-160 chars
External Links:
- Suggests authoritative external references (Wikipedia and similar) for relevant in-content terms
- Wraps existing phrases as links — never invents text
Featured Image:
- Generates a featured image with AI when a post is missing one
- Uploaded to your media library with proper title, description, and ALT text, then set as the post thumbnail
📡 AI Visibility
Search is moving into AI assistants. AI Visibility shows how your brand, product or site is recommended when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude the questions your buyers actually ask — and it runs entirely on your own AI Engine providers, with no extra subscription or credits.
Add a brand, describe it, and let AI draft the buyer-intent questions to track (or write your own, in any language). SEO Engine then asks each AI assistant and reads the answers back for you.
What you see:
- Your rank on each AI service, side by side (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google…)
- An overall AI Visibility score, trended over time
- The competitors recommended alongside you, so you know who you’re up against
- Sentiment — how positively each assistant talks about you
- The full transcripts behind every result, so nothing is a black box
How it works:
- Bring your own providers through AI Engine — your keys, your models, no metered add-on
- Pick one model per provider (for example GPT, Claude and Gemini) and scan across all of them
- Scans run from your browser, one question per provider at a time, so nothing times out
- Every result records the exact model used, and the whole history is queryable over MCP
Scans ask each provider directly, so they measure what the models already know about you from training rather than a live web search — which is what an assistant answers from memory.
🚦 Redirections & 404
A focused redirect manager and 404 monitor that pair naturally: most 404s should become redirects, and the workflow is built around that.
Redirect Manager:
- Exact-path redirects with 301, 302, 307, 308, and 410 Gone
- Hit counter and last-hit timestamp on every rule, so you know which ones are useful
- Sub-millisecond lookup on the front-end (object-cached, hashed, deferred writes)
- Static assets (images, CSS, JS, fonts) skipped automatically — no log bloat
- Optional auto 301 when a published post or page slug changes (off by default)
- Regex match type with capture groups for advanced rewrites
404 Monitor:
- Aggregated log — one row per unique URL, with hit count, first/last seen, and last referer
- One-click “Convert to Redirect” from any 404 entry
- Crawler filter so the log stays focused on real visitors
- Path exclusions with wildcards (e.g. /feed*, /wp-admin/* )
- Daily auto-prune with configurable retention
