Codesala SEO Content Engine is a free AI SEO plugin and AI content generator for WordPress. It combines keyword research, AI article writing, on-page SEO optimisation, schema markup and an auto-blog scheduler in one lightweight plugin — and it works on activation without any API key thanks to a built-in zero-config engine that composes articles from real Wikipedia summaries and Google News headlines, with linked citations.

Use it as your AI writer, auto blog plugin, keyword research tool, JSON-LD schema generator, and automated content scheduler — all from one admin screen. Compatible with Yoast SEO, Rank Math and All in One SEO.

Why use this AI SEO plugin?

  • Free forever, no API key required. The built-in engine uses only public data sources — no signup, no credit card.
  • Real source-backed content, not template fluff. Every generated article is built from real Wikipedia and Google News data with citation links — useful out of the box.
  • Optional best-in-class AI providers. Plug in your own free or paid key from OpenRouter, Groq, Cloudflare Workers AI, Google Gemini, Mistral, OpenAI, or Anthropic Claude — auto-fallback handles rate-limits.
  • 6 keyword research sources. Google Trends, Google Suggest, YouTube Suggest, Bing Suggest, Reddit and Wikipedia — all free.
  • Schema markup that ranks. JSON-LD Article + FAQPage with safe <script>-context escaping.
  • Auto blog scheduler with safety brakes. Daily budget, per-hour throttle, default draft status — protects you from spammy bursts.
  • Compatible with leading SEO plugins. Auto-detects Yoast, Rank Math and All in One SEO. Native fallback if none is installed.

Realistic strategy

AI content is risky if you over-do it. Recommended:

  • 5–10 high-quality posts/day, not 100.
  • Long-tail, low-competition keywords.
  • Default status is draft so you review before publishing.
