AI & Credits
GSC sync, SEO analysis, autolink, and Tools scanning work without AI. When you want generated meta, image alt text, or batch rewrites, configure WordPress Connectors or SEO Booster Credits under Settings → AI / LLM.
Part of SEO Booster.
- Yoast SEO
- Rank Math SEO
- All in One SEO (v4+)
- SEOPress
- The SEO Framework (v5+)
Optional AI
AI speeds repetitive tasks, not required
What is it?
Optional suggestions for meta, images, GSC batches, and writing outlines via WordPress Connectors or SEO Booster Credits.
Who is it for?
Teams who want AI assistance without replacing core SEO analysis and Search Console workflows.
What does it solve?
Slow repetitive meta and alt-text work. GSC sync, issue lists, and autolink still work with AI turned off.
Where AI appears
SEO metabox suggestions
Generate or refine SEO titles, descriptions, and related fields from page content and GSC keywords, then apply to your active SEO plugin when a provider is active.
Tools batch jobs
Bulk meta, image metadata, GSC opportunities, focus keywords, and Pro Entity Map drafts can seed prompts with GSC data and condensed content; scanning and manual Entity Map edits work without AI.
Dashboard balance card
When Credits is the provider, the dashboard shows remaining balance with a link to AI settings.
Configure AI in Settings
AI provider selection
Path: SEO Booster → Settings → AI / LLM tab
- Disabled: no AI features call external services
- WordPress Connectors: requires WordPress 7+ and a configured connector under Settings → Connectors
- SEO Booster Credits: register email, view balance, refresh, sync purchases
AI bot settings (same tab)
Separate from text-generation AI: controls crawler tracking and Pro blocking.
- AI bot tracking: on by default
- Track mapped content only: on by default
- Retention days: 7–365 (default 90)
- Pro: block selected bots or purposes (HTTP 403)
What works without AI
You can run the full SEO workflow without selecting a provider. Meta writes go to your active SEO plugin: see [SEO plugin compatibility](/docs/installation/seo-booster-compatibility-with-popular-seo-plugins/).
- Google Search Console import, GSC Overview, metabox, dashboard
- SEO analysis and SEO Possibilities (non-AI checks)
- Automatic links, weekly email, AI Bots tracking, llms.txt
- Tools scan preview; manual meta edits via your active SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, or TSF)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI required for SEO Booster?
No. GSC integration, analysis, autolink, Possibilities, weekly email, AI bot tracking, and Tools scanning work without AI. Generation features need a configured provider.
What is WordPress Connectors?
WordPress 7+ can route AI requests through Connectors configured in Settings → Connectors. Select WordPress as the provider in SEO Booster AI settings.
What are SEO Booster Credits?
A hosted API option: register on the settings page, view balance, and sync purchases. Used when Credits is selected as the AI provider.
Where can I use AI in the plugin?
SEO metabox suggestions, image alt/title generation, Tools bulk meta and image batches, Pro GSC opportunities and focus keywords, Pro Entity Map AI drafts, writing outlines, and product SEO where supported.
Is AI bot tracking the same as AI generation?
No. AI Bots records crawler visits locally. Text generation uses Connectors or Credits and is optional.
