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:

- Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) – Use your own OpenAI API key for unlimited single generations at no cost.

Highlights
- One-click AI generation in the post editor (Rank Math)

_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.

FAQ
-
Do I need Rank Math?
-

It targets Rank Math fields only and relies on Rank Math to output meta tags on the front end. -

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

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.
