Writing a great article is only half the job – search engines also need the right behind-the-scenes information to understand and rank it. This chapter shows you how the plugin fills that in automatically for you.
Overview
For every article, the plugin can automatically write an SEO title, a meta description (the short summary shown in Google search results), and a focus keyword, and save them directly into your existing SEO plugin – whether that’s Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO. It also generates schema markup, a technical format search engines use to better understand your content, such as displaying FAQ questions directly in search results.
How It Works
The plugin writes SEO data as one of the final steps of article generation, using the finished article as context so the title and description accurately reflect what was actually written. It then saves this data into the specific meta fields your SEO plugin expects – so your existing SEO plugin picks it up and displays it exactly as if you had typed it in yourself. Separately, structured JSON-LD schema is stored with the post and automatically inserted into your page’s header code when the article is viewed.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Open the SEO Meta Keys panel
Go to AI Blog Generator → Settings and scroll to the SEO Meta Keys panel.
2. Turn on SEO data generation
Tick Generate and save SEO data so the AI creates a meta description, SEO title, and focus keyword for every post.
3. Pick your SEO plugin preset
Use the SEO plugin preset dropdown to select Yoast SEO,Rank Math,All in One SEO, or Custom. Choosing one of the named presets automatically fills in the correct technical field names below for you.
4. Confirm the meta keys
Check that Meta description key,Focus keyword key, and SEO title key match your installed SEO plugin (they’re filled in automatically by the preset, so you usually won’t need to change them). Only edit these manually if you use a different or custom SEO setup.
5. Save your settings
Click Save Settings at the bottom of the page.
6. Check a published post
Open a recently generated post in the WordPress editor and confirm your SEO plugin’s title, description, and focus keyword fields are already filled in – you should not need to write them by hand.
7. Re-run SEO data if needed
If you ever edit a post significantly and want fresh SEO data to match, use the Recreate SEO Prompt panel’s settings as a reference for how the “Recreate SEO Data” action on a post works – it re-generates the title, description, and keyword using the same AI rules.

Field Explanations
The three meta keys are technical addresses inside WordPress where your SEO plugin looks for its data – you almost never need to type these manually, since choosing your SEO plugin’s name from the preset dropdown fills them in correctly for you.
If you don’t use any of the three listed SEO plugins, choose Custom meta keys and enter the exact field names your specific SEO plugin or theme expects – check that plugin’s own documentation for the correct values.
Schema markup works quietly in the background and requires no ongoing attention from you – it’s added automatically to every post’s page and doesn’t change what visitors see, only what search engines understand about the page.
Tips
- Install and activate your preferred SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, or AIOSEO) before generating posts, so the meta data has somewhere to be saved.
- Choose the matching preset the moment you know which SEO plugin you’re using – it saves you from typing technical field names by hand.
- Spot-check the first few generated SEO titles and descriptions for length and tone, just like you would with the article text itself.
- Leave schema generation turned on – it costs nothing extra to maintain and can improve how your articles appear in search results.
Common Mistakes
- Choosing the wrong SEO plugin preset. If the preset doesn’t match your actual installed SEO plugin, the data will be saved to fields that plugin never reads.
- Not having any SEO plugin installed at all. The data is still generated and saved, but nothing will visibly use it until you install a compatible SEO plugin.
- Manually editing meta keys without knowing the correct technical names. An incorrect key means your SEO plugin simply won’t find the saved data.
- Turning off “Generate and save SEO data” and forgetting about it. Every post published afterward will be missing SEO titles and descriptions until you turn it back on.
