Install the WordPress plugin, configure your SEO workflow, connect Anthropic for AI-powered features, manage structured data and understand how the Free and Pro editions work.
Install and Start Optimizing
HiRizzi AI SEO combines traditional WordPress SEO analysis with AI-search-readiness, structured-data and technical SEO tools. You can begin with non-generative features before adding an Anthropic API key.
Install the Plugin
In WordPress go to Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin, select the HiRizzi AI SEO ZIP, install and activate it.
Review the Dashboard
Open the HiRizzi AI SEO menu and review the available SEO, AI-search, schema and site-management tools.
Add Anthropic When Needed
AI generation and suggested-fix features use your own Anthropic API key. Traditional analysis and several technical tools do not require AI generation.
Connect Your Anthropic API Key
HiRizzi AI SEO uses Anthropic for AI-powered generation. Your API usage is billed directly by Anthropic and is separate from any HiRizzi AI SEO license purchase.
If you upgrade from a version before 1.9.0 with an existing dedicated Anthropic key, the plugin automatically migrates that key from the previous storage format to encrypted storage. If encryption cannot be completed, the migration does not overwrite the existing value. New key saves are rejected rather than stored unencrypted when secure encryption is unavailable.
When the plugin uses its dedicated Anthropic configuration, AI requests are sent server-to-server from your WordPress site directly to Anthropic’s API; the dedicated key is not routed through HiRizzi servers. If your WordPress authentication salts are later changed or rotated, you may need to re-enter and save the API key so it can be encrypted using the current installation secrets.
What Uses AI
- AI-assisted metadata generation
- AI suggested fixes
- Bulk SEO generation
- Bulk FAQ generation
What Does Not Require AI Generation
- Traditional on-page analysis
- Manual schema entry
- Redirects and 404 monitoring
- XML sitemap functionality
wp-config.php file, backups, and Anthropic account secure. Encryption at rest is designed to protect against database-only exposure; it does not protect against full access to the WordPress installation or server.On-Page SEO Analysis
Use the content analysis workflow to review familiar SEO signals while editing WordPress content.
Content Signals
- Focus keyword
- Keyword density
- Keyword in headings and introduction
- Keyword in slug
- Content length and readability
- Heading analysis
- Image alt attributes
Search & Social Metadata
- SEO title
- Meta description
- Open Graph title, description and image
- Twitter metadata
- Search/social preview
- Live Gutenberg analysis
Citation Readiness
The Citation Readiness workflow assesses structural signals that can make public content easier for automated systems to parse and extract accurately. It examines signals such as headings, list usage and paragraph length and can provide AI-assisted suggestions.
Bulk SEO & Bulk FAQ
The bulk tools are designed around a deliberate select → generate → review → save workflow. Generated results remain available for human review rather than being silently published merely because they were generated.
Select
Choose the posts or pages you want to process.
Generate & Review
Generate suggestions from page content, then inspect and edit the proposed output.
Save Deliberately
Save only the results you approve. Unsaved-work warnings help protect work in progress.
FAQ + Advanced Schema
HiRizzi AI SEO includes a dedicated FAQPage workflow plus five advanced schema families. Structured data is output as JSON-LD.
| Schema | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| FAQPage | Included | Included |
| Article / BlogPosting / NewsArticle | Included | Included |
| Local Business | Included | Included |
| Product | Pro required to save | Included |
| Recipe | Pro required to save | Included |
| Software Application | Pro required to save | Included |
llms.txt
The llms.txt tool lets you prepare an LLM-friendly overview of important public content, review discovered pages, exclude low-value or system pages and preview the result.
- Free: configure and preview llms.txt
- Pro: publish the live public llms.txt file
- Review the preview before making it public
AI Crawler Access
Configure explicit allow/block choices for supported AI user agents from WordPress instead of manually maintaining each rule. Supported rules include major AI-related crawlers such as GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended.
- Free: configure and preview crawler-access settings
- Pro: activate the live crawler-access rules
AI Bot Activity
Review recognized AI crawler visits, the public URLs requested and recent activity. This is useful as a crawler-visibility signal.
Redirect Manager & 404 Monitor
Redirect Manager
Create and manage 301 or 302 redirects. The Free edition supports up to 3 redirects; Pro removes the plugin-level redirect limit.
404 Monitor
Review missing-page requests, filter common scanner/bot noise and turn an appropriate 404 into a redirect when needed.
XML Sitemap
HiRizzi AI SEO provides an XML sitemap for your public site content. The plugin sitemap is available at:
/sitemap.xml
Free vs. Pro
The Free edition lets you use substantial parts of the plugin before upgrading. Pro primarily removes selected limits and activates live AI-search infrastructure features.
| Capability | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional SEO analysis | Included | Included |
| Citation Readiness | Included | Included |
| AI Bot Activity | Included | Included |
| Bulk SEO saves | First 3 | Unlimited |
| Bulk FAQ saves | First 3 | Unlimited |
| Redirects | Up to 3 | Unlimited |
| llms.txt | Configure + preview | Live publishing |
| AI crawler access | Configure + preview | Live rules |
| Product / Recipe / Software schema saves | Pro required | Included |
Using Another SEO Plugin
HiRizzi AI SEO detects several established SEO plugins. When Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress or HiRizzi SEO already owns title/meta/social metadata, HiRizzi AI SEO disables its Bulk SEO metadata generator to avoid competing ownership of those fields.
AI-specific tools such as Citation Readiness, FAQ workflows and crawler-related features can remain available. As with any combination of SEO plugins, test your intended configuration on staging first.
Secure Pro Updates
HiRizzi AI SEO v1.9.0 uses a secure updater designed so the premium ZIP URL is not exposed in the public update manifest. Licensed sites obtain a short-lived download token when an update begins, and license credentials are sent server-to-server rather than being placed in the package URL.
Common Questions
AI generation is not working. What should I check?
Confirm that your Anthropic API key is configured correctly and that the Anthropic account can make API requests. Remember that API billing and availability are controlled by Anthropic, not by the plugin license.
Why can I analyze content without an API key?
Traditional SEO analysis and several non-generative tools do not require an AI request. An Anthropic key is needed only for AI-powered generation and suggested-fix features.
Why can I no longer save another Bulk SEO or Bulk FAQ result on Free?
The Free edition includes the first three saves for each of those workflows. They are lifetime Free-tier limits. Pro removes those save limits.
Why can I preview llms.txt or crawler settings but not publish them live?
The Free edition supports configuration and preview. Live llms.txt publishing and live AI crawler-access rules are Pro capabilities.
Why is Bulk SEO unavailable when another SEO plugin is active?
HiRizzi AI SEO intentionally avoids competing for metadata ownership when a recognized SEO plugin already manages title, description and social metadata.
Does AI Bot Activity tell me when ChatGPT cited my site?
No. It records recognized crawler activity. Crawler visits do not establish that content was used or cited in an AI answer.
Does valid schema guarantee a rich result?
No. Structured data helps describe content, but search providers decide whether a rich result is displayed.
Need More Help?
Use the Tutorials hub for practical walkthroughs, install the Free edition to follow along, or contact HiRizzi Support when you need product help.
HiRizzi AI SEO helps implement SEO, structured-data and AI-search-readiness workflows. No software can guarantee rankings, traffic, rich results, inclusion in AI answers or citations. AI-service and search-engine behavior can change independently of the plugin.
