Choosing provider and template for a run
What it is
Before running a Bulk (or 1-Click) generation you can choose which AI provider does the work and which SEO Schema Template shapes the titles. The provider selector controls the model; the template selector controls the structure of the generated titles per content type.
Where to find it
Both selectors sit in the action bar of AISA → Bulk SEO & GEO (and in the options block of AISA → 1-Click SEO), next to the action and the Run button.
Requirements & tier
Mass generation is Premium / Cloud. The provider selector appears only when you use your own API keys (BYOK): you can pick Auto or a specific provider (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral). In Cloud (credits) the provider is chosen automatically by the server and the selector is replaced by a note plus an upgrade link for those who want to choose. The template selector requires the SEO Schema Template feature.
How to use
- Open the action bar and locate the Provider dropdown (BYOK only).
- Leave it on Auto (API key preference) to use your default key, or pick a specific provider to force it for this run.
- Locate the Template dropdown. Leave it on Auto (per content type) to use the template assigned to each content type, or pick a specific template to force it on every item in this run.
- If you force a template, a warning reminds you that the per-type assignment is ignored for this execution.
- (Extended SEO) Optionally set the number of rotation Variants for title/description.
- Press Run.
Questions people ask
- Which provider should I pick for large sites? DeepSeek is the cheapest for text and has generous limits; pick it when optimising thousands of pages.
- Why can't I see a provider menu? You are in Cloud mode, where the server routes to the most convenient/fastest provider automatically.
- What does "Auto" template mean? AISA applies the SEO Schema Template assigned to each content type (e.g. products get the e-commerce schema).
- Does forcing a template override per-type rules? Yes — a forced template applies to every item in the run and ignores the per-type assignment.
- Can I change provider per run? Yes, the choice is per execution; it does not change your default key.
- Do providers without Vision work for images? No — DeepSeek and Mistral have no Vision, so image alt-text needs Claude/GPT/Gemini.
Troubleshooting
If a chosen provider fails, confirm its API key is set and tested in Settings → API Keys. If titles don't follow the structure you expect, check whether a template is forced (warning shown) or whether Auto is mapping a different template to that content type. In Cloud, provider errors are handled server-side; if generation stalls, wait for the auto-tuning to retry.
