About AI Snippet SEO Helper

From the official readme · v1.0.18

Description

AI Snippet SEO Helper generates SEO-optimized titles, meta descriptions, focus keywords and slugs directly inside the Rank Math meta box.

Three ways to use:

  1. Free Trial – Start instantly with 25 free tokens, no registration or API key needed.
  2. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) – Use your own OpenAI API key for unlimited single generations at no cost.
  3. Pro – Upgrade for bulk generation, auto-slug, all AI models, custom prompts, and priority support.

Highlights

  • One-click AI generation in the post editor (Rank Math)
  • Live score & SERP-style preview; optional custom prompt
  • Optional Auto-Slug replacement (WordPress keeps a 301 via _wp_old_slug)
  • Usage overview card (plan limit, remaining, progress)
  • Model selection based on plan (GPT-4 Turbo / GPT-4.1 / GPT-4o)

Requires Rank Math SEO

AI Snippet SEO Helper only works when the Rank Math SEO plugin is installed and active.
This helper writes into Rank Math’s meta fields and relies on Rank Math to render meta tags on the front end.
It will not generate or output any SEO tags by itself.

  • Pro mode: Post title, excerpt, slug, selected model, custom prompt, site URL, domain, plugin slug, and Site Token are sent to RankPilotAI.
  • On token-status checks in the settings page (Pro mode only): Site Token, site URL and domain.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Rank Math?

Yes. AI Snippet SEO Helper is built as an integration for the Rank Math SEO plugin and will not work without it. It targets Rank Math fields only and relies on Rank Math to output meta tags on the front end.

Do I need to register or create an account?

No. The free trial starts instantly with one click. For BYOK mode, just paste your OpenAI API key.

Is there a free option?

Yes. 25 free trial tokens are included with no registration. After that, use your own OpenAI API key for unlimited free generations, or upgrade to Pro for advanced features.

Which models are supported?

GPT-4.1 Mini (Trial & BYOK), plus GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4.1, and GPT-4o in Pro mode.

What exactly is sent to the API?

Only minimal context: post title, excerpt, current slug, site URL/domain, selected model, and your Site Key. In BYOK mode, data goes directly to OpenAI and nothing is sent to RankPilotAI.

Will Auto-Slug break existing URLs?

When enabled, the new slug replaces the old one and WordPress stores the previous slug in _wp_old_slug, serving an automatic 301.

Does it work with both Classic and Block Editor?

Yes. The helper supports both editors and refreshes Rank Math’s snippet preview accordingly.

What is the difference between Trial, BYOK and Pro?

Trial: 25 lifetime tokens, GPT-4.1 Mini only, single generation only. BYOK: Unlimited single generations with your own OpenAI API key, GPT-4.1 Mini. Pro: Bulk generation, auto-slug, custom prompts, all models (GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4.1, GPT-4o), priority support, multi-site licenses.

Changelog

Maintenance release, verified against WordPress 7.1. Safe to update.

1.0.18

  • Hardening: if the trial API returns a structured error object instead of a string, the request no longer ends in a fatal error; the message is shown to you instead.
  • Maintenance: the plugin now passes the official WordPress Plugin Check with zero errors. This covers output escaping, unslashing and sanitizing every request value, and prepared uninstall queries. Where a check does not apply, the exemption is documented inline with its reason rather than left silent.
  • Compatibility: verified on a real WordPress 7.1 install, including the post editor, the post list table and the settings screen.

1.0.17

  • SECURITY: the Pro Site Key is no longer passed to the browser. It was printed into the admin page source on post, page and post-list screens, which exposed a paid API credential to any logged-in user who could open those screens, including Contributors. Nothing in the plugin’s JavaScript used it.
  • Fix: the plugin’s focus-ring style is now scoped to its own meta box and settings screen. It was previously applied to every text field and textarea in wp-admin with !important, so it overrode the focus style of the post editor and of other plugins on any screen where this plugin loads its stylesheet.
  • Hardening: form and query values are now unslashed before sanitizing, and the settings form action is normalized once before the nonce check instead of being read raw from the request.
  • Maintenance: switched to wp_parse_url() for consistency with the rest of the codebase.
  • Compatibility: tested with WordPress 7.1.

1.0.16

  • NEW: Rank Math SEO is now declared as a formal dependency through the “Requires Plugins” header, so WordPress 6.5 and newer prevents activation without it and offers to install it for you.
  • Improvement: wp-admin/includes/plugin.php is only loaded when it is actually needed, instead of on every admin request.
  • Maintenance: remaining inline code comments translated to English.
  • Compatibility: re-verified with WordPress 7.0.

1.0.15

  • Maintenance: routine housekeeping, minor code cleanup and performance tuning. No functional changes.
  • Compatibility: re-verified with WordPress 7.0.

1.0.14

  • Maintenance: minor polish, code cleanup and stability improvements. No functional changes.
  • Compatibility: re-verified with WordPress 7.0.

1.0.13

  • Maintenance: internal code cleanup and stability improvements. No functional changes.
  • Compatibility: re-verified with WordPress 7.0.
