Start a Free TrialGeneral Questions
What is Artikolo?
An AI-powered content creation and SEO platform built specifically for WordPress. It generates SEO-optimized articles and publishes them directly to your site, with built-in competitor keyword research and SEO audits.
Do I need technical skills?
No coding. You create an Application Password in WordPress, enter it with your site address and username in Artikolo, and save the topic and keywords you want articles about. The Artikolo WordPress plugin is optional: it lets you generate articles from inside WordPress.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, with the features of the plan you try: 7 days on Starter, 14 days on Pro and Business, one trial per account. No credit card required. If you have not added a payment method when the trial ends, nothing is charged and your account returns to the Free plan (1 English article a month); if you have, the subscription continues and Stripe charges your card. We do not send a reminder email before the trial ends.
Will Google penalize AI content?
Google says it judges content by its helpfulness and quality, not by whether AI wrote it, and that content made mainly to manipulate rankings breaks its spam policies. Artikolo's writing instructions ban overused AI phrasing, and on the Business plan a second editing pass rewrites sentences that sound machine-written. Read what you publish: AI can get facts wrong.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT gives you raw text. Artikolo adds the rest of the pipeline: keyword research, articles structured around your keyword with a meta description, a featured image and further-reading links from real search results, and publishing straight to your WordPress site. No copy-pasting required.
Features & Content
What languages are supported?
Nine languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, and Japanese. Free and Starter write in English, Pro in English, Spanish, French and German, and Business in all 9.
How long are the generated articles?
About 1,500 words by default, and at least 2,000 when Artikolo rewrites a competitor's page. Each article has H2 and H3 headings, a meta description, links to related posts on your site and up to three further-reading links. Articles do not include schema markup.
Can I edit articles before publishing?
With the Artikolo WordPress plugin, yes: save an article as a draft or for pending review and edit it in the WordPress editor. Articles generated in an SEO Autopilot cluster wait there, with a preview, until you publish them. Articles created in the Artikolo app are published as soon as they are written; edit or unpublish them in WordPress like any post.
What is the two-pass AI editor?
Available on the Business plan, the two-pass editor runs a second AI pass that rewrites sentences that sound machine-written. It is a style pass, not a fact-check. It applies to every article a Business account generates, including scheduled and automatic ones.
Does it generate images?
No. Each article gets a featured image: a stock photo from Pexels, with alt text. Images are not AI-generated and are not placed inside the article body.
What is SEO Autopilot?
SEO Autopilot compares the keywords your site ranks for with the keywords your competitors rank for, sorts the gaps into Quick Win, Growth and Strategic opportunities, and generates a cluster of articles from the ones you select. You preview the cluster and publish it to WordPress in one step.
Pricing & Billing
What plans are available?
Three paid plans: Starter ($11.99 / £9.99 a month, 4 articles), Pro ($24.99 / £19.99, 15 articles) and Business ($49.99 / £39.99, 40 articles). All three include competitor keyword research and SEO audits, within each plan's monthly limits. A Free plan includes 1 English article and 10 keyword lookups a month.
Can I switch plans?
You can upgrade at any time from your subscription page: the new plan starts straight away and Stripe charges the prorated difference for the rest of the billing period. Moving to a lower plan is not a self-service change: cancel (you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for), then subscribe to the lower plan.
What currencies do you accept?
Card payments through Stripe in GBP, USD or EUR. You can also pay in cryptocurrency through NOWPayments, choosing the coin on its payment page; a crypto payment buys 30 days (or a year on annual billing) and does not renew automatically.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Pay monthly, or annually for the price of ten months. To cancel, click Cancel Subscription on your subscription page and confirm: there is no cancellation fee, and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
What happens to my content if I cancel?
All articles already published to your WordPress site stay there and remain yours. When your subscription ends, your account returns to the Free plan and its limits.
Do you offer refunds?
We offer a free trial (7 days on Starter, 14 days on Pro and Business) so you can evaluate the product before paying. If you experience a technical issue within the first 7 days of a paid subscription, contact support for a refund.
Technical & Integration
Which WordPress versions are supported?
Publishing from Artikolo uses Application Passwords, which are built into WordPress 5.6 and later and need a site served over HTTPS. The optional Artikolo WordPress plugin needs WordPress 5.0 or later. Articles are ordinary posts, so any theme that shows normal posts displays them; a security plugin or host that blocks the WordPress REST API will stop publishing.
Does it work with other SEO plugins?
Yes. Artikolo publishes standard posts and does not replace your SEO plugin. When you create a post with the Artikolo WordPress plugin while Yoast SEO, Rank Math or All in One SEO is active, the plugin fills in that plugin's focus keyword and meta description. Articles published from the Artikolo app set the post excerpt, not SEO-plugin fields.
Is my data secure?
Connections use HTTPS. Your WordPress Application Password is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and used only to publish, and API keys are stored only as SHA-256 hashes. To do its work, Artikolo sends your topics and keywords to its AI provider (OpenRouter) and its SEO data providers, and payments go through Stripe or NOWPayments. We do not sell your data.
Can I use the API directly?
There is no documented public API. The API key from your API Keys page connects the Artikolo WordPress plugin to your account.
