SEO Plugin for WordPress — AI Content Generation Plus SEO Tools
AI content generation + competitor keyword research + SEO audit — one subscription
The SEO tool for WordPress that creates content, not just analyzes it. AI writing with anti-slop controls, competitor keyword gap research and Lighthouse SEO audits, all included. No external API keys, no per-word charges.
Install Free PluginBeyond Traditional SEO Plugins
Creates Content, Not Just Advice
Traditional SEO plugins like Yoast SEO and Rank Math tell you what to fix — red and green dots, readability scores, suggested improvements — but leave the writing to you. Artikolo writes the article for you: the text, a meta description, a featured image and links to your related posts.
No External API Keys
Some AI writing plugins ask you to bring your own AI provider key and pay that provider by usage. An Artikolo subscription includes the AI writing, competitor keyword research and SEO audits at one monthly price.
Two Ways to Connect
The Artikolo app publishes through the WordPress REST API with an Application Password, so no plugin is needed for that. The free Artikolo WordPress plugin adds a way to generate articles from inside WordPress, saved as drafts if you prefer. The AI writing runs on the AI service Artikolo uses, not on your WordPress hosting.
Works With Your Existing SEO Plugin
You do not need to replace Yoast or Rank Math. Artikolo writes and publishes the content; your SEO plugin keeps handling on-page indicators, XML sitemaps and breadcrumbs. When you create a post with the Artikolo plugin, it fills in Yoast SEO, Rank Math or All in One SEO's focus keyword and meta description. See our WordPress SEO plugins comparison.
Everything That Is Included
AI Article Generator
Articles of about 1,500 words or more from a topic, from a competitor's URL, or on a schedule from your saved keywords. A banned-phrase list keeps out overused AI wording. Learn more about the AI writing tool.
Keyword Research
Competitor keyword gaps: the keywords up to three competitor domains rank for and you do not, with monthly search volume, difficulty and an opportunity category.
SEO Audit
Lighthouse audits of any URL, on mobile and desktop: performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO, with AI-written recommendations.
Basic Schema Markup
With its SEO tags setting on and no other SEO plugin active, the Artikolo plugin adds Article, WebSite, Organization and breadcrumb JSON-LD to your pages. What it covers.
SEO Autopilot
SEO Autopilot turns the competitor keyword gaps you select into a cluster of articles, ready to preview and publish.
Step-by-Step: Set Up the Artikolo SEO Plugin
1. Install the Plugin
Download the Artikolo plugin from the download page and upload it in your WordPress admin under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Click Install Now, then Activate. No FTP access or server configuration needed.
2. Enter Your API Key
Create an API key on the API Keys page of your Artikolo account. In WordPress, go to Artikolo → Settings, paste the key and click Test to check the connection.
3. Set Your Defaults
Choose the default post status (Draft, Published, Pending Review or Private) and the default category for generated posts. You can change both for each article.
4. Generate Your First Article
Open Artikolo → Generate Content, enter a topic and click Generate Article. Each article costs one credit. Review the result, then create the post, as a draft if you want to edit it first.
5. Build Your SEO Strategy
In your Artikolo account, use SEO Autopilot to find keywords your competitors rank for, and run SEO audits on your important pages.
How We Compare to Other WordPress SEO Plugins
vs Yoast SEO
Yoast provides on-page SEO indicators, XML sitemaps and breadcrumbs; it does not write articles for you. Use both together — Yoast for on-page indicators, Artikolo for writing and publishing. Full comparison.
vs Rank Math
Rank Math is a full on-page SEO plugin with its own AI features. Artikolo concentrates on writing and publishing whole articles, with competitor keyword research and audits in the same subscription. Full comparison.
vs AI Engine
AI Engine connects WordPress to an AI provider with your own API key, so you pay that provider's usage costs. Artikolo includes the AI in a fixed monthly price, with no API key to set up. Full comparison.
vs Separate Tools
Dedicated keyword-research suites, AI writers and content-optimization tools each do more in their own area than Artikolo does. Artikolo puts the parts a small WordPress site needs most into one subscription from $11.99/month. See our WordPress SEO Guide 2026.
FAQ
Do I need to replace my existing SEO plugin?
No. Artikolo works alongside Yoast, Rank Math and All in One SEO. When one of them is active, the Artikolo plugin leaves the SEO tags and structured data to it.
Does the plugin slow down my WordPress site?
The AI writing does not run on your hosting, and the plugin loads no scripts or stylesheets on your public pages. With its SEO tags setting on (and no other SEO plugin), it adds meta tags and JSON-LD to each page's head.
What WordPress versions are supported?
WordPress 5.0 and above, with PHP 7.4 or later. Articles are ordinary WordPress posts, so any theme that displays posts shows them; there is no special integration with page builders such as Elementor or Divi.
Can I use it on multiple WordPress sites?
The Artikolo app publishes to one connected WordPress site per account. You can install the plugin on other sites with an API key from your account; every article, from any site, uses your account's credits.
Is there a free version?
The plugin is free to install, and the Free plan includes 1 article a month. Paid plans have a free trial (7 days on Starter, 14 days on Pro and Business) with the features of the plan you try — no credit card required.
