### Trusted by Over 3 Million Websites

From bloggers to agencies to large eCommerce stores, AIOSEO holds a 4.7 out of 5
star rating from over 5,000 reviews and is built by the team behind WPForms, MonsterInsights,
and OptinMonster.

### AI SEO: Write and Optimize Content with AI

AIOSEO puts a complete AI SEO toolkit inside WordPress, so you can create optimized
content faster and win at both traditional SEO and generative engine optimization(
GEO) for AI search engines like ChatGPT.

 * **AI Content Generator**
    Break through writer’s block and publish faster. Generate
   SEO titles, meta descriptions, FAQs, image alt text, and full articles in seconds
   with the built-in [AI Content Generator](https://aioseo.com/features/ai-content/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin),
   and write or rewrite content right inside the editor with the AI Assistant block.
   Bulk AI actions handle titles, descriptions, and alt text across many posts at
   once.
 * **AI Image Generator**
    Create unique, on-brand images for your posts on demand
   with the built-in AI Image Generator, so you never have to pay for stock photos
   or open a design tool.
 * **AI Schema Generator**
    Generate accurate structured data with AI using smart
   analysis and custom prompts, so you win rich snippets without learning schema
   or writing a line of code.
 * **AI Agents & Built-in MCP Server**
    Manage your SEO just by chatting with AI.
   AIOSEO includes an MCP server and WordPress Abilities API support, so agents 
   like Claude and Cursor can connect to your site and read, audit, and update its
   SEO data directly.
 * **Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)**
    Get found in AI search, not just Google.
   Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the new frontier of SEO, and AIOSEO generates
   an llms.txt file so AI engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity
   can discover your content and surface it in their answers.
 * **AI Search Rank Tracking**
    Track how your brand and content show up across 
   AI search (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and other engines) with our AI Insights
   keyword report, so you can see whether AI is putting you in front of customers
   and improve it.

### What Makes AIOSEO Better than Yoast, Rank Math and SEOPress?

Our SEO features give you a competitive advantage over other WordPress SEO plugins
like Yoast, Rank Math and SEOPress.

 * **Redirection Manager**
    Stop broken links and dead pages from quietly costing
   you traffic and rankings. Our [Redirection Manager](https://aioseo.com/features/redirection-manager/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin)
   automatically monitors and logs 404 errors, fixes them, and safely redirects 
   old or changed URLs (or your whole site when you move domains) so you keep the
   SEO value you have already earned.
 * **Local Business SEO**
    Rank higher on Google Maps and win customers away from
   your local competitors. Add your business hours, multiple locations, and contact
   details so Google can surface your phone number, email, and address in its Knowledge
   Panel and customers can reach you, all with our [Local SEO module](https://aioseo.com/features/local-seo/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin).
 * **Smart Schema Markup (aka Rich Snippets)**
    Stand out in the search results 
   and win more clicks with eye-catching rich snippets like star ratings, FAQs, 
   prices, and recipes. Add FAQ, product, recipe, WooCommerce product, and dozens
   more schema types without touching code, plus the Organization and Person schema
   that power your Google Knowledge Graph panel, using our custom [Schema Generator](https://aioseo.com/features/rich-snippets-schema/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin).
 * **Google Keyword Rank Tracking**
    Know exactly where you rank and what to work
   on next. Track your Google keyword positions over time right inside your [WordPress dashboard](https://aioseo.com/features/search-statistics/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin),
   import keywords from Google Search Console, and uncover related keywords and 
   new ranking opportunities with our Search Statistics module.
 * **Author SEO (Google E-E-A-T)**
    Build the author authority that Google rewards.
   Add [author profile pages, bio boxes, and author schema](https://aioseo.com/features/author-seo-google-e-e-a-t/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin)
   that strengthen your E-E-A-T signals, a trust factor that helps you rank and 
   stay resilient through Google’s Helpful Content updates.
 * **AI Link Assistant**
    Keep visitors on your site longer and send ranking power
   to the pages that matter most. Get smart internal link suggestions automatically
   and add them in a couple of clicks with our [internal linking algorithm](https://aioseo.com/features/internal-link-assistant/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin).
 * **Unlimited Keywords**
    Write content that actually ranks. Optimize for unlimited
   focus keywords with our TruSEO content analysis, which scores your on-page SEO
   and content readability and shows you exactly what to fix to climb the rankings.
 * **Smart XML Sitemap**
    Get your content discovered and indexed faster. Advanced
   XML sitemaps hand search engines a clear roadmap of your site (with one-click
   Google Search Console setup), plus a Video sitemap, News sitemap, RSS sitemap,
   and HTML sitemap.
 * **Site Audit & SEO Checklist**
    Find out exactly what is holding your rankings
   back. Get a full audit of every post and term, plus a step-by-step SEO checklist,
   with clear, prioritized fixes you can act on right away.
 * **SEO Revisions**
    Never wonder whether an SEO change helped or hurt. Keep a 
   [full history of your SEO changes](https://aioseo.com/seo-revisions/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin),
   see their impact over time, and roll back to any previous version in one click.
 * **Content Decay Tracking**
    Catch declining content before it costs you traffic.
   Spot which pages are losing rankings and visits so you can refresh them and win
   that traffic back, with our [Search Statistics module](https://aioseo.com/features/search-statistics/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin).
 * **Automatic Image SEO**
    Get more traffic from Google Images with zero manual
   work. Generate image alt text with AI, plus automatic image titles and clean 
   SEO filenames.
 * **Smart Breadcrumbs**
    Give visitors and Google an easy path through your site,
   and earn breadcrumb links in search results, with full JSON-LD schema support.
 * **Robots.txt Editor & Robots Meta**
    Control what search engines crawl and index,
   right from WordPress: edit your robots.txt and set per-page robots meta tags (
   noindex, nofollow, no archive, max snippet, and more), with no FTP or code needed.
 * **Table of Contents**
    Help readers and Google navigate your content, and earn
   jump-to links in the search results. Automatically generate a table of contents
   with our redesigned block (with multi-block and accordion layouts), and customize,
   hide, or reorder headings.

## FAQ

Please visit our [complete AIOSEO documentation](https://aioseo.com/docs/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin)
before requesting support for SEO from the AIOSEO team.

### Does AIOSEO use AI for SEO?

Yes. AIOSEO is an AI SEO plugin. You can generate SEO titles, meta descriptions,
FAQs, and full articles with the AI Content Generator, create images with the AI
Image Generator, and build schema markup with AI. AIOSEO also includes an MCP server
and WordPress Abilities API support, so AI agents like Claude can connect to your
site and manage its SEO directly. With our llms.txt generator, you can also help
your content rank in AI search results like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

### Is AIOSEO free?

Yes. AIOSEO has a free version that covers the SEO essentials — SEO titles and meta
descriptions, an XML sitemap, schema markup, Google Search Console integration, 
and TruSEO content analysis — everything most sites need to start ranking. [AIOSEO Pro](https://aioseo.com/?utm_source=wprepo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=liteplugin)
adds advanced features like the redirection manager, local SEO, keyword rank tracking,
automatic internal linking, and WooCommerce SEO. You can start free and upgrade 
anytime.

### Can I switch from Yoast or Rank Math to AIOSEO?

Yes, and it takes just a few clicks. AIOSEO’s built-in importer migrates your SEO
titles, meta descriptions, and settings from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and SEOPress 
so your metadata carries over intact, with no re-optimization needed. It also imports
redirects from popular redirect plugins, so most sites complete the switch in minutes.

### Does AIOSEO work with WooCommerce, Elementor, and other page builders?

Yes. AIOSEO includes WooCommerce SEO for optimizing product pages and categories,
and it integrates with Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Oxygen, WP Bakery, and SeedProd 
so you can edit your SEO settings and run TruSEO analysis right inside the builder.
It also works in both the Gutenberg block editor and the Classic Editor.

### Does AIOSEO support multilingual and WPML sites?

Yes. AIOSEO works with WPML, Weglot, and other multilingual plugins, and it generates
a multilingual XML sitemap so search engines index every language version of your
content. Your titles, meta descriptions, and schema stay correct across all your
translated pages.

### Which themes does AIOSEO support?

AIOSEO works with all WordPress themes. Simply enable AIOSEO to make your WordPress
theme SEO friendly.

### Are AIOSEO sitemaps better than default WordPress sitemaps?

Yes, AIOSEO smart sitemaps are a lot more optimized than the default WordPress sitemaps.
Once you enable AIOSEO, our XML sitemaps will override the default WordPress sitemaps,
so you can improve your SEO rankings.

We also offer advanced SEO sitemaps such as News Sitemap, Video Sitemap, and RSS
Sitemap.

Our SEO sitemaps come with granular control such as links per sitemap, enable / 
disable post types or taxonomies, include / exclude specific links from sitemap,
add additional non-WordPress pages to sitemaps, customize sitemap priority & frequency
for each section of your site, and more.

### Will AIOSEO slow down my website?

No. AIOSEO is built for performance — its code is optimized and menu pages and libraries
are lazy-loaded so they only load when needed, keeping both your dashboard and your
front end fast. Since page speed is itself a ranking factor, a fast, well-coded 
SEO plugin helps your rankings rather than hurting them.

### Do I really need an XML Sitemap?

**Yes! XML Sitemaps help Google and other search engines to find all the pages of
your website.**

An XML sitemap is a list of all the content on your website. The sitemap helps search
engine bots to easily see all the content on your site in one place. The XML sitemap
file is hidden from your human visitors, but search engines like Google can see 
it.

Without an XML sitemap, some of your web pages may never be included in Google search
results, and won’t get any traffic.

XML Sitemaps also help you tell Google which pages you DON’T want included in search
results. This can help your SEO to prevent keyword cannibalization and duplicate
content issues.

As part of your SEO strategy, **an XML sitemap can help you to improve your domain
authority and unlock more traffic from Google, Bing and other search engines**.

AIOSEO can easily help you get your sitemaps listed inside Google Search Console
so your content can start to get indexed today!

## Changelog

**New in Version 5.0.5.1**

 * Fixed: Improved security protections for breadcrumb labels.
 * Fixed: Improved security protections for the redirect log search in the Abilities
   API.

**New in Version 5.0.5**

 * Fixed: Visiting a WooCommerce product page could open the slide cart, add the
   product to the cart or redirect to checkout when FunnelKit Cart, Funnel Builder
   or CartHopper Skip Cart was active.
 * Fixed: A database update that kept failing could be retried on every page load.
 * Fixed: Robots.txt rules containing colons, line breaks, special characters or
   a “0” value could look different in the editor preview than in the served file.
 * Fixed: Malformed imported robots.txt rules could break the robots.txt editor 
   or the settings import.
 * Fixed: Improved access protections in the AI Image Generator: it now only deletes
   AI-generated images and respects the AI off-switch.
 * Fixed: The AI Image Generator now explains why a selected image can’t be edited.
 * Fixed: The Edit Snippet button in the SEO Preview could be missing on a homepage
   that uses the theme’s layout when a Posts page was still set in Settings > Reading.
 * Fixed: Post and term titles containing square brackets could break their links
   in llms.txt and llms-full.txt.
 * Fixed: Some dropdowns in the Local SEO and AIOSEO metaboxes, such as Payment 
   Info, Country, Article Tags, Priority Score, Keywords and Redirects, were cut
   off by the metabox container.
 * Fixed: An empty coloured block could appear over the highlighted option in AIOSEO
   dropdowns.
 * Fixed: Focus keywords set on taxonomy terms were missing from the Keyword Rank
   Tracker’s Import Keywords list.
 * Fixed: The Keyword Rank Tracker’s Import Keywords list was capped at 50 keywords
   and could miss some posts’ focus keywords.
 * Fixed: Recipient email addresses in the SEO Alerts settings weren’t saved.
 * Fixed: Several settings weren’t imported correctly from Yoast SEO Premium, including
   breadcrumbs, website name, number of employees, term meta and crawl optimization
   settings (with their robots.txt rules and the taxonomy feed setting).
 * Fixed: Redirects created from a 404 log entry with a space (%20) in the URL could
   lose the space, so the redirect didn’t match.
 * Fixed: AI agents using AIOSEO’s abilities couldn’t read or update SEO data on
   posts that hadn’t been opened in AIOSEO yet.

**New in Version 5.0.4**

 * New: TruSEO now fully supports Elementor, Divi and WPBakery Page Builder: see
   issues highlighted right in your layout, jump straight to them, fix spelling 
   mistakes in one click and get AI suggestions without leaving the builder.
 * Updated: The AI Suite MCP setup now tells you which security plugin or setting
   is blocking Application Passwords, and how to turn them back on.
 * Fixed: Page updates could fail and redirect to a 404 page on some sites when 
   TruSEO analysis data grew too large.
 * Fixed: Regex redirects could carry the request’s query string into the target
   URL regardless of the Query Param setting, and encoded characters in the request
   weren’t always handled correctly.
 * Fixed: An asterisk in a regex redirect couldn’t be used as a quantifier, so patterns
   such as \d* matched more than intended.
 * Fixed: Regex redirects now correctly replace capture group placeholders $10 and
   above.
 * Fixed: Redirects now warns about redirect loops when the target URL includes 
   your site’s full domain.
 * Fixed: The Lite post editor could request a Pro-only Redirects endpoint when 
   a post’s slug or status changed, causing occasional errors.
 * Fixed: The AI Suite (MCP) robots.txt abilities could fail on sites using Crawl-
   delay or Clean-param rules, and couldn’t create those rules.
 * Fixed: Installing the MCP Adapter could fail on multisite subsites.
 * Fixed: MCP Adapter install and activation errors in AI Suite showed raw HTML 
   tags.
 * Fixed: The Spell Checker flagged all-caps acronyms such as SEO as misspellings,
   including in words like SEO-friendly.
 * Fixed: The TruSEO score was missing from the AIOSEO Details column for users 
   who can’t manage AIOSEO settings.
 * Fixed: Optimize with AI could time out on longer posts before the optimization
   finished.
 * Fixed: A PHP warning could appear in the editor on sites where the 5.0.0 database
   update hadn’t fully completed.
 * Fixed: AIOSEO could interfere with themes and plugins that detect the Block Editor
   when the Classic Editor was in use.
 * Fixed: Re-opening the AIOSEO sidebar in the block editor could land on the tab
   last opened from the pre-publish panel’s Fix link.
 * Fixed: The post editor sent duplicate SEO Revisions requests when saving a post.
 * Fixed: Site Audit could fail to load on WordPress 5.7 and on sites with debugging
   enabled.
 * Fixed: Typing a page number past the last page in an AIOSEO table loaded one 
   page at a time instead of going straight to the last page.
 * Fixed: The Open Graph image database update could fail to finish on some sites.
 * Fixed: Empty category archives are now set to noindex when the “No Index Empty
   Categories” option is enabled.
 * Fixed: The sitemap breadcrumb now links to the sitemap index instead of the homepage.
 * Fixed: Layout issues with the upgrade prompt in the category and tag editor.
 * Fixed: The dismiss button on the meta keywords notice looked broken in the Bricks
   editor.
 * Fixed: The table pagination arrows and the score badge on the SEO Analysis page
   weren’t vertically centered.
