Postomatic vs VigIA – AI Visibility, Analytics & Control

Postomatic writes SEO-ready blog posts for you, in one click or on a set schedule. Set a title or topic, choose a language, tone, and category, and let Postomatic’s AI write a complete, structured, SEO-optimized post – automatically filled in for Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, and WP Meta SEO. Save time on content creation while keeping full editorial control: every post is saved as a draft first, so you can review before it goes live. Two ways to create content Instant Generation – Open “Add Post”, enter a title or topic, pick your settings, and click Generate. Your post is ready in the time it takes to get a coffee. AutoPilot – Set it up once and let Postomatic keep publishing on autopilot: choose a frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), a number of posts per run, a credit budget, and Postomatic takes care of the rest. Perfect for blogs and stores that want a steady stream of fresh content without daily manual work. Sell more with AI-written product content Running a store? Postomatic automatically detects WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, or SureCart on your site – no configuration needed – and lets you generate content built specifically to sell: Product Promotion – a focused article about one product, pulling in its real name, price, description, and images. Product Comparison – compare up to 3 products side by side in a single, well-structured post. Everything you can control Content Goal – Single post, Bulk posts (PRO), or Boost Product Sales (PRO) Language – write in the language your audience reads Category – pick manually or let AI auto-select the best fit Voice / Speaker – neutral, personal (“I”), team (“We”), direct (“You”), third-person, brand voice, or narrative/storytelling Content Tone – conversational, professional, academic, technical, persuasive, storytelling, or humorous Content Length – brief, standard, detailed, or comprehensive Featured Image – AI-generated (PRO) or your own custom upload In-Body Images – attach and describe your own images for the AI to place inside the article Comments, Author, and Publish Status – open/closed comments, choose the WordPress author, publish immediately or save as a draft Built to stay out of your way Runs as a normal WordPress admin screen – no page builder or theme changes required Generated posts always start as a draft, so nothing goes live without your review Floating credit tracker keeps your available balance visible while you work Low-credit warnings before AutoPilot tasks run out of budget One-time credit purchases – no forced recurring subscription to get started Requirements WordPress 5.8 or higher (tested up to WordPress 7.1) PHP 7.4 or higher (PHP 8.0+ recommended for optimal performance) Ability to make outbound HTTPS requests to external APIs A publicly reachable site (not required for pure localhost/offline development environments) Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) with JavaScript enabled Sufficient server memory (minimum 128MB PHP memory limit recommended) Optional: WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, or SureCart if you want to use “Boost Product Sales” Features AI-Powered Content Creation – Generates complete, structured blog posts from just a title or topic. AutoPilot Scheduling – Set a frequency and post count once, and Postomatic keeps publishing new content on that schedule. Automatic Store Detection for Product Content – Detects WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, or SureCart automatically; no setup needed to start writing product-focused content. Product Promotion & Product Comparison – Generate single-product sales copy or side-by-side comparisons of up to 3 products, with real prices, descriptions, and images pulled in automatically. Built-in SEO Plugin Integration – Automatically fills the SEO title, meta description, and focus/secondary keywords for Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, and WP Meta SEO – whichever you already have installed. Multi-Language Content – Generate posts directly in the language your readers use. Voice & Tone Controls – Choose who’s “speaking” (personal, team, direct, brand, narrative) and the overall tone (conversational, professional, academic, technical, persuasive, humorous, storytelling). Flexible Content Length – From a brief 600+ word post to a comprehensive 2,500+ word deep dive. Featured & In-Body Images – Upload your own images for the featured spot and for placement inside the article body, each with its own description. Draft-First Safety – Every generated post is created as a draft (or published immediately, your choice) so you always review before publishing. Free + Pay-As-You-Go Credits – Start with free credits, then top up with one-time credit purchases or a plan – no forced recurring subscription. Low-Credit Protection – Get warned in the admin bar and before AutoPilot runs if your balance won’t cover the next batch of posts. Full Admin Panel Control – Manage credits, plans, support tickets, and every generated post directly from the WordPress admin, without leaving your dashboard. Usage Instant Generation Open Postomatic > Add Post in your WordPress admin sidebar. Choose your Content Goal: Single Title, Bulk Titles (PRO), or Boost Product Sales (PRO). Enter your title/topic, then set language, category, voice, tone, and any images you want included. Click Generate Post. Your new post appears as a draft, ready to review, tweak, and publish. AutoPilot (hands-off publishing) Open Postomatic > AutoPilot. Choose “Boost Product Sales” or “SEO-Focused Content” as your goal. Walk through the short setup wizard: goal details/keywords, budget, and publishing frequency. Review the summary and create the task – Postomatic will keep generating and publishing on that schedule until you pause or delete it. Managing Credits and Plans Check your remaining credits anytime from the Postomatic dashboard or the floating credit tracker. When credits run low, either purchase more credits or upgrade to a paid plan for a larger allotment and additional features. Credit purchases and plans are one-time payments – no recurring billing surprises. Best Practices Always review generated drafts before publishing – treat the AI as a strong first draft, not a final copy. Add your own images and internal links to strengthen the post. Use the Voice and Tone controls to keep content consistent with your brand. For product content, make sure your product has a clear name, description, and image set in WooCommerce/EDD/SureCart first – the AI writes from what’s already there. For AutoPilot, start with a conservative frequency and post count until you’re happy with the output quality, then scale up.

No data is sent to external servers. Abilities API VigIA is one of the first WordPress plugins to implement the Abilities API introduced in WordPress 6.9. This API allows AI agents, automation tools, and external systems to discover and interact with VigIA’s functionality in a standardized, secure way. What are Abilities? Abilities are self-contained units of functionality that VigIA exposes through WordPress’s central registry. Each ability has defined inputs, outputs, and permissions, making it easy for automation tools to understand and use them. Available Abilities VigIA registers the following abilities: Analytics vigia/get-crawler-stats – Get statistics about AI crawler visits (total visits, unique crawlers, pages crawled) vigia/get-top-crawlers – Get a ranked list of most active AI crawlers vigia/get-top-pages – Get the most crawled pages on your site Blocking vigia/get-blocked-items – List all blocked crawlers and IP addresses vigia/block-crawler – Block a crawler by User-Agent pattern vigia/unblock-crawler – Remove an existing block Robots.txt vigia/get-robots-rules – Get current AI crawler rules in robots.txt vigia/add-robots-disallow – Add a Disallow directive for a crawler vigia/remove-robots-rule – Remove a robots.txt rule Use Cases Automated monitoring: AI agents can query crawler statistics and alert you to anomalies Reactive blocking: Automation tools can block crawlers that repeatedly ignore robots.txt External dashboards: Aggregate data from multiple WordPress sites with VigIA installed WP-CLI integration: Future command-line access through the Abilities API n8n / Make workflows: Build custom automation flows using VigIA’s abilities Requirements The Abilities API ships with WordPress 6.9 and later. On older WordPress versions, VigIA works normally but abilities and MCP are not available. MCP Server (Model Context Protocol) VigIA exposes its 9 abilities as native MCP tools to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Antigravity, Continue, Cline, Zed and similar) using the official WordPress MCP Adapter. The adapter ships bundled with the plugin, so the MCP endpoint is active right after installation — no Composer step or terminal access required. Requirements WordPress 6.9 or later (provides the Abilities API) Quick connect (recommended) Open VigIA > Extras > MCP and click “Generate password and connection commands”. The plugin creates a dedicated Application Password named VigIA MCP and renders ready-to-paste commands for Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop and a generic block (URL + Authorization header) for any other MCP client. The plain password is shown only once. If you lose it, revoke the entry from the same panel and generate a new one. Endpoint https://your-site.example/wp-json/vigia/v1/mcp The endpoint uses HTTP Basic auth with the WordPress Application Password. The user must have the manage_options capability. Connecting Claude Code Quick Connect builds the full command for you. The shape is: claude mcp add --transport http vigia https://your-site.example/wp-json/vigia/v1/mcp --header "Authorization: Basic BASE64_OF_USER_AND_APP_PASSWORD" Claude Code merges the new entry into its config file automatically — no risk of breaking other servers. Connecting Cursor Save the JSON block from Quick Connect as ~/.cursor/mcp.json. You can also reach this file from inside Cursor at Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP. If the file already exists with other content, see the FAQ. Claude Desktop and other clients Claude Desktop does not speak HTTP MCP, so it needs a small bridge and a config file of its own. Any other client (Codex CLI, Continue, Cline, Antigravity, Zed, or your own) takes the two raw values Quick Connect exposes: the server URL and the Authorization header. Both cases are covered in the FAQ, together with how to merge VigIA into a config file that already exists without losing what is in it. Read-only mode If you only want your AI to consult VigIA (not change anything), enable “Read-only mode” in the MCP tab. While on, write actions (block, unblock, robots changes) return a permission denied error. Read actions (statistics, top crawlers, blocked items, robots rules) keep working. The toggle stores a vigia_mcp_read_only option that hooks into the vigia_can_write_via_abilities filter. Developers can still force read-only from a mu-plugin: add_filter( 'vigia_can_write_via_abilities', '__return_false' ); The mu-plugin filter at the default priority takes precedence over the toggle. Who can reach the endpoint The endpoint requires the capability to manage options, the same one every tool behind it already asked for. The vigia_mcp_transport_capability filter can lower that bar; each tool keeps its own permission check. After connecting Restart your MCP client after adding the server so it picks up the new tools. Then try a few prompts to confirm everything is wired up: “Show me VigIA crawler stats for the last 7 days.” “List the top 5 most crawled pages on this site.” “Add a robots.txt Disallow rule for TestBot and then list the current AI crawler rules.” The third example exercises a read + write + read round-trip, which is the most complete sanity check.
