Quick start: your first optimization
What it is
Your first optimization is the fastest way to see AISA work: 1-Click SEO analyzes the whole site, shows how many items have incomplete SEO, estimates the cost, and then generates SEO titles, meta descriptions, focus keyphrases, slugs, image alt-text and AI Context across your content — each item in a single AI call. You can also optimize one page at a time from the floating panel in the editor. After setup, the wizard sends you straight here.
Where to find it
AI SEO & GEO → 1-Click SEO for the whole site; or open any post/page and use the draggable AISA floating panel for a single item. Bulk selection lives at AI SEO & GEO → Bulk SEO & GEO.
Requirements & tier
You need AI access: either your own provider API key (BYO-key, counted in tokens) or a Cloud plan (counted in credits). A filled Brand Context is required — without the business description, AI generation is blocked. Full-site 1-Click and unlimited bulk are Premium; on Free you can optimize 25% of content as a trial. Multilingual (WPML / Polylang) is supported.
How to use
- Confirm Brand Context is filled (Settings → Brand Context & Style) and an AI provider or Cloud is set up.
- Open 1-Click SEO and read the analysis: which content types have incomplete SEO and the four traffic-light scores.
- Pick the fields to generate (keyphrase, title, description, AI Context, image alt, slug) and the content types.
- Check the estimate — it tells you the cost up front (credits in Cloud, tokens with your own keys).
- Press Optimize and watch the live progress, scores and credits update. Use Stop anytime; finished work stays saved and you can resume with “complete the remaining”.
- For a single page, open the editor, use the floating panel's Generate SEO, then Apply (or “Apply all to [plugin]”).
Questions people ask
- How much does one item cost? In Cloud, 1 content = 1 credit (one AI call does everything). With your own keys it's a few cents for hundreds of items (DeepSeek ~€0.0002 per generation).
- Can I stop and resume? Yes — Stop keeps finished items saved; resume later with “complete the remaining”.
- Why is generation blocked? The Brand Context business description is empty — it is required so the text is tailored to your brand.
- Will it overwrite content that's already complete? Only if you choose “Force new generation”, which offers a backup first.
- Does it handle multiple languages? Yes — one 1-Click run generates SEO in each page's correct language across WPML / Polylang.
- What if it goes too slow on a big site? Use AISA Turbo (×2/×4/×8 parallelism); it self-throttles on provider rate limits (429). DeepSeek is a good choice for large catalogs.
Troubleshooting
“Optimize” does nothing / blocked → fill the Brand Context business description and confirm an AI provider or Cloud is configured.
Generation errors mid-run (429) → provider rate limit; AISA Turbo auto-adjusts, or lower the parallelism / switch to DeepSeek.
Only part of the site optimized on Free → the Free trial covers 25%; activate Premium to do the whole site.
SEO generated in the wrong language → AISA reads each page's real text; check the language selector and that the page actually has content in that language.
