Google Search Console tells you which keywords bring visitors to your site, but that data lives in Google’s dashboard, separate from the pages you edit in WordPress. SEO Booster closes that gap. Connect Search Console once, import your keyword data, and see real search performance on every post, page, and taxonomy you edit. Turn GSC insights into actionable SEO tasks, automate internal linking across your site, and optionally use AI, powered by WordPress Connectors, to speed up content and image optimization. Works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework. SEO Booster complements them with GSC-driven keyword intelligence, internal linking, and on-page analysis they typically do not provide. Bulk meta and focus keyword tools write directly into your active SEO plugin’s fields. Requires WordPress 6.8 or later. AI with WordPress Connectors (optional) Optional AI features use the WordPress Connectors system built into WordPress 7.0 or later. Set up your AI provider under Settings → Connectors in WordPress, then choose WordPress Connectors under SEO Booster → Settings → AI/LLM. GSC import, automatic links, and SEO analysis work fully without AI. Leave it disabled if you prefer. Free features Google Search Console Connect your site via OAuth; import 7, 30, or 90 days of keyword data with scheduled refresh Searchable GSC Overview with filters for new or stale keywords, content usage, and position bands Dashboard with 30-day trends, charts, top keywords, and period-over-period comparison Weekly email reports with key metrics: all processed on your server, not sent to third parties Keyword insights where you work GSC metabox on posts, pages, taxonomies, and WooCommerce products Admin bar Page overview while browsing the frontend or editing: SEO score, issues/opportunities, saved AI suggestions, and compact top keywords (read-only) Optional frontend keyword highlighting to see GSC terms in your content Per-keyword history charts in the editor Keywords tab Automatic internal links Define keyword-to-URL rules; matching text in body content links automatically site-wide WooCommerce products supported; automatic linking runs on rendered HTML from Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder, and similar (no in-editor builder integration) SEO Possibilities On-page analysis with a full URL discovery list: expand findings, open the editor, and jump to free Tools Pro triage: Do next, work by problem type, Top URLs by severity and Search Console traffic, Mark as done / Ignore (Possibilities and editor Analysis tab) GSC-based opportunities including low CTR, missing keywords, and keyword cannibalization warnings Sitewide checks, bulk analysis from post lists, and optional SEO score admin columns Auto-scan URLs discovered from GSC imports (configurable frequency) AI-powered SEO (optional, WordPress 7.0+) Uses WordPress Connectors: your AI provider is configured once in WordPress, not inside SEO Booster Metabox suggestions, WooCommerce product SEO, and comprehensive audits Ask about this page: question chips and free-text Q&A about rankings, issues, and titles on the editor AI tools tab AI writing outline with generate-article-from-outline workflow Media Library bulk alt text and title generation Image metadata batch processing (vision-capable connector required for image analysis) Tools Tabbed Tools hub: Overview plus bulk utilities for common SEO fixes Bulk meta: scan posts and pages for missing, duplicate, or keyword-less SEO titles and descriptions; generate with AI via WordPress Connectors (Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, or The SEO Framework required); one-click revert of the last bulk run Image metadata: scan and batch-fix missing alt text, titles, captions, and descriptions (see below) llms.txt: generate and serve /llms.txt for AI crawlers, curated from your top content (GSC-aware when data exists) Pro: Needs analysis overview (never analyzed, stale, or open issues) Pro: Content decay: pages with declining Search Console clicks (30d vs prior 30d) Pro: Entity Map: publish /entitymap.json and /entitymap.html with human + AI curation SEO Booster Pro Upgrade at seoboosterpro.com for: 404 and redirect monitoring: track broken URLs and redirects with a searchable admin report Weekly email Pro insights: content-decay and GSC opportunity counts in the weekly report Autolink column: enable or disable automatic linking per post from the posts list and Quick Edit Autolink status in GSC popup: see which keywords are auto-linked, or create links in one click from the keyword details view Needs analysis (Tools): find content never analyzed or with stale SEO analysis; queue bulk re-analysis from the Tools page Content decay (Tools): find pages whose GSC clicks fell over the last 30 days vs the previous 30 days; open Possibilities or queue re-analysis Entity Map (Tools): structured /entitymap.json and /entitymap.html for AI discovery; build from GSC + bot traffic, edit relations/chunks, optional AI draft via WordPress Connectors; links from llms.txt when published Markdown discovery (Tools): optional *.md and /index.md page versions plus /llms-full.txt full Markdown export linked from llms.txt; per-page Include Markdown version in the editor More Pro Tools: GSC opportunities, Focus keywords, and Autolink opportunities Ask about this page (editor): Apply focus keyword and create autolink from AI proposed actions (Ask itself is available with WordPress Connectors on free) AI bot blocking: block selected AI crawlers at the PHP level when monitoring is enabled Automatic Links Automatically turn keywords in your content into internal links. Every time you write “contact us”, it can link to your contact page. No manual linking required. Works with WooCommerce products. Automatic linking runs on the rendered HTML of pages built with Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder, and similar; there is no in-editor integration for those builders. See how automatic links work for details. Image metadata batch tool Find and fix missing image metadata across your Media Library without opening each attachment one by one. Go to SEO Booster → Tools → Image metadata. Scan JPEG, PNG, and WebP attachments for missing title, alt text, caption, or description; preview matches before you act Generate with AI by analyzing the actual image file: choose which fields to apply; only checked fields are saved Process in batches: selected images or every match in your library, with live preview while processing Fail-safe: if the AI cannot verify an image, nothing is saved; the tool prefers empty fields over wrong alt text Works without AI: run scans and review gaps even when AI processing is not configured Requires vision-capable AI for generation via WordPress 7 Connectors; text-only connectors cannot analyze images Learn more in the SEO Booster documentation. SEO plugin compatibility SEO Booster works alongside your SEO plugin. It does not replace title tags, sitemaps, or schema. When a supported plugin is active, SEO Booster reads and writes SEO titles, meta descriptions, and (where supported) focus keywords. Supported plugins Yoast SEO Rank Math SEOPress All in One SEO (v4+): not legacy v3. Per-term custom title/description requires AIOSEO Pro (aioseo_terms); posts and focus keywords work on Lite. The SEO Framework (v5+) What SEO Booster writes SEO title and meta description: bulk Tools, GSC opportunities, and editor AI “Use” buttons Focus keyword: bulk focus keyword tool and editor apply (not available with The SEO Framework) Which plugin is used? If more than one supported SEO plugin is active, SEO Booster uses the first match in this order: Yoast SEO → Rank Math → SEOPress → All in One SEO → The SEO Framework. Only that plugin receives writes. The Dashboard, Settings, and Tools pages show which plugin is active. WooCommerce Product pages use the same integration as posts. Product categories and tags use taxonomy SEO fields from your active plugin. Without an SEO plugin GSC import, automatic links, and on-page analysis still work. Analysis uses page content and excerpts when no SEO plugin meta is available. Bulk meta batch tool Fix SEO titles and meta descriptions across many posts and pages at once. Go to SEO Booster → Tools → Bulk meta. Requires a supported SEO plugin: Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, or The SEO Framework. SEO Booster writes to your active plugin’s title and description fields (SEO Booster does not replace those plugins) Scan for missing titles/descriptions, duplicates sitewide, or meta that omit focus/GSC keywords Generate with AI via WordPress 7 Connectors (same engine as the post metabox); seeded with GSC keywords and condensed page content Apply selectively: choose title and/or description; fill empty fields by default, with optional overwrite Revert: restore previous values from your last bulk run in one click Works without AI: scan and review issues even when AI is disabled llms.txt generator Help AI crawlers discover your best content. Go to SEO Booster → Tools → llms.txt. Generate curated content in the admin; Download llms.txt to upload manually, or serve dynamically at /llms.txt (virtual file: no FTP upload; recommended) Detects an existing physical llms.txt in your WordPress root and warns if it would override dynamic serving Curate links from posts, pages, and other public content types (prefers top GSC pages when import data exists) Preview the file before publishing Pro: optional Markdown URLs (*.md, /index.md) and /llms-full.txt full export with discovery signals and per-page control Disclaimer This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Google.
