How Codesala SEO Content Engine works
Show full descriptionShow less
Codesala SEO Content Engine is a free AI SEO plugin and AI content generator for WordPress. It combines keyword research, AI article writing, on-page SEO optimisation, schema markup and an auto-blog scheduler in one lightweight plugin — and it works on activation without any API key thanks to a built-in zero-config engine that composes articles from real Wikipedia summaries and Google News headlines, with linked citations.
Use it as your AI writer, auto blog plugin, keyword research tool, JSON-LD schema generator, and automated content scheduler — all from one admin screen. Compatible with Yoast SEO, Rank Math and All in One SEO.
Why use this AI SEO plugin?
Free forever, no API key required. The built-in engine uses only public data sources — no signup, no credit card.
Real source-backed content, not template fluff. Every generated article is built from real Wikipedia and Google News data with citation links — useful out of the box.
Optional best-in-class AI providers. Plug in your own free or paid key from OpenRouter, Groq, Cloudflare Workers AI, Google Gemini, Mistral, OpenAI, or Anthropic Claude — auto-fallback handles rate-limits.
6 keyword research sources. Google Trends, Google Suggest, YouTube Suggest, Bing Suggest, Reddit and Wikipedia — all free.
Schema markup that ranks. JSON-LD Article + FAQPage with safe <script>-context escaping.
Auto blog scheduler with safety brakes. Daily budget, per-hour throttle, default draft status — protects you from spammy bursts.
Compatible with leading SEO plugins. Auto-detects Yoast, Rank Math and All in One SEO. Native fallback if none is installed.

Realistic strategy
AI content is risky if you over-do it. Recommended:
5–10 high-quality posts/day, not 100.
Long-tail, low-competition keywords.
Default status is draft so you review before publishing.
External services
This plugin connects to the third-party services listed below. Connections to optional services (LLM providers, image providers, indexing) only happen when the site administrator explicitly configures their own API keys for those services.

Terms of use: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Terms_of_Use

When: each time a post is published if “Submit to Google Indexing API” is enabled.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect or transmit visitor personal data. Data sent to the third-party services listed above consists of: keyword strings entered or selected by the site administrator, language/country codes from settings, and (when applicable) the user’s own API keys passed to the corresponding provider. The plugin stores its own data locally in the WordPress options table and a custom wp_csrm_stats table (post id, event type, keyword, provider name, sanitized referer, timestamp). No IP addresses, no cookies, and no visitor identifiers are stored.
