From there, a button opens the CataSEO dashboard in a\nnew tab. Optimization, billing and account management all happen there, at\nhttps:\/\/app.cataseo.ai \u2014 the plugin's job is to connect the two and to write approved\ncontent back into your store.<\/p>\n\n<p>Yoast, Rank Math and AIOSEO give you the fields. They don't write what goes in them, and\non a catalog of any size the product fields are the ones that stay empty. That's the gap\nthis fills.<\/p>\n\n<h4>You approve every change<\/h4>\n\n<p>CataSEO generates; you decide. Nothing is written to a product until you have seen the\nbefore and the after side by side and approved it. Product descriptions can be edited\nbefore you accept them, as rich text, as HTML, or previewed as they will appear \u2014 and if\nan edit would strip markup your description already had, CataSEO holds it and tells you\nwhat would have been removed rather than quietly dropping it.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Works alongside your existing SEO plugin<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Yoast SEO \u2014 writes into Yoast's meta fields<\/li>\n<li>Rank Math \u2014 writes into Rank Math's meta fields<\/li>\n<li>All in One SEO \u2014 writes into AIOSEO's meta fields<\/li>\n<li>None of the above \u2014 ships a minimal standalone meta output layer so your generated\ncontent is still visible to search engines and social media<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The plugin detects which SEO plugin you have active and automatically writes content to\nthe right place. If you later install or switch SEO plugins, it adapts on the next admin\npage load.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Built to enhance, not replace<\/h4>\n\n<p>CataSEO handles product and post content: descriptions, meta titles, meta descriptions,\nOpen Graph fields, focus keyphrases and product image alt text. Your SEO plugin keeps\nhandling sitemaps, schema.org markup, canonical URLs, redirects and content analysis. Run\nboth \u2014 they do different jobs, and they do them in the same fields.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Blog posts<\/h4>\n\n<p>CataSEO can draft blog posts from your own catalog \u2014 your products, categories and the\nmarket it identified during setup \u2014 and publish them to your WordPress site. Each draft\nis yours to edit before it goes anywhere.<\/p>\n\n<p>It will also assess a post you already have: what is weak, what is already solid, and a\nsuggested replacement title, meta description or meta keywords that you can accept one at\na time. It never rewrites the body of your post, and a certification, compliance or\nrating it cannot ground is dropped rather than suggested.<\/p>\n\n<p>Finished a post? Send it to your own Buffer account and it joins the queue you already\nhave, to go out on the schedule you already set.<\/p>\n\n<p>These are ordinary WordPress posts. You do not need a separate blogging plugin, and\nanything CataSEO writes stays on your site if you remove this one.<\/p>\n\n<h4>In the dashboard<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>A guided six-step setup that begins by reading your own catalog back to you \u2014 what you\nsell, the market you are in, a suggested tone of voice, and the competitors it found.\nCorrect any of it before you continue.<\/li>\n<li>An overview screen with product, category and brand counts and a recent activity feed.<\/li>\n<li>Products, Categories and Brands each on their own screen, so you can bookmark and link\nto them.<\/li>\n<li>An Analytics screen: domain authority, backlinks, linking root domains, spam score, how\nmany keywords you rank for, your highest-authority pages, and how all of it has moved\nmonth over month.<\/li>\n<li>Catie, an assistant you can ask about any field while you are setting up, or at any\ntime afterwards.<\/li>\n<li>Catalog import that tells you which stage it is on and how much of each kind it has\ndone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>External service: what this plugin sends, and where<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin is an interface to CataSEO, a paid cloud service operated by Studio 1119, Inc.\nIt does not work without an account, and all content generation happens on CataSEO's\nservers \u2014 no AI model runs inside WordPress.<\/p>\n\n<p>Once you connect your store, the following is sent to https:\/\/app.cataseo.ai:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Product data: names, descriptions, categories, brands, image URLs, and the SEO meta\nfields listed above.<\/li>\n<li>Blog post content, for posts you ask CataSEO to write or assess: titles, bodies,\nexcerpts, tags and their meta fields.<\/li>\n<li>Your site URL, WordPress and WooCommerce version numbers, which SEO plugin is active,\nand your site's administrator email address.<\/li>\n<li>A notification when a product's SEO fields change in WordPress, so the two stay in step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>No customer, order, payment or personal data from your store is ever transmitted.
