Tidy SEO AI Refresh

Tidy SEO AI Refresh scans all your published posts and pages, evaluates them against multiple SEO signals, and tells you exactly which content needs updating — and in what order.

Stop guessing which articles to refresh. Tidy SEO AI Refresh gives each post a priority score based on:

• Freshness — How long since the post was last updated
• Outdated years — References to past years in titles or content (e.g. “Best tools 2023”)
• Thin content — Articles under 300 or 600 words
• Heading structure — Missing or insufficient H2 headings
• Images — Posts with no images
• Internal links — Posts with zero or few internal links
• FAQ section — Missing FAQ content
• Schema markup — Missing FAQ/HowTo structured data
• Alt text quality — Generic or missing image alt attributes
• Anchor text quality — Generic anchor text like “click here”

Key Features

• Priority dashboard — Posts sorted by urgency: Critical, High, Medium, Low
• Health grade — Overall site content health from A (excellent) to E (needs work)
• Automatic weekly audits — Runs in the background via WP-Cron
• Per-post scoring — See exactly which signals are affecting each post
• Dashboard widget — Quick health overview right on your WordPress dashboard
• Batch processing — Handles large sites without timeout issues
• Cannibalization detection — Finds posts competing for the same keywords; identifies a pillar/hub or recommends creating one when 4+ posts share a topic
• Orphan page detection — Lists published posts that no other page links to
• Internal link suggestions — In the Gutenberg sidebar, get topically related posts to link from your draft (with 1-click insertion)
• FAQ block pattern with auto-schema — Insert a “FAQ section” pattern; FAQPage JSON-LD is emitted automatically (cached on save, no front-end overhead)
• Bulk anchor text rewrite — One click (or wp tidy-seo-ai-refresh fix-anchors) replaces “click here” / “read more” with the linked target’s title for internal links
• Bad anchors / bad alt text reports — Dedicated dashboard tabs listing posts that need attention
• Utility page detection — Contact/About/Legal pages are scored against a relaxed template (they are short by design)

External services

This plugin can connect to two third-party services. Both are strictly opt-in: no external request is made unless you have connected the corresponding account in the plugin settings.

Google Search Console API (organic search data, optional)
* Hosts: accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth (OAuth authorization page, browser redirect only), oauth2.googleapis.com/token (token exchange and refresh), www.googleapis.com/webmasters/v3/sites/<your-site>/searchAnalytics/query (data fetch).
* OAuth scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly (read-only access to your Search Console data).
* What is sent: your OAuth client ID, client secret and refresh token (server side); search-performance queries scoped to the site URLs you have verified in Google Search Console (date range, query string, page URL).
* When: only after you have completed the “Connect Google Search Console” flow in the plugin settings. Then, on demand when you open the Content Gap dashboard tab and automatically when the access token needs to be refreshed.

Anthropic Claude API (AI-generated FAQs, optional)
* Host: api.anthropic.com/v1/messages.
* What is sent: your Anthropic API key (header x-api-key), the model identifier (default claude-sonnet-5), the title and content of the WordPress post you target (truncated to ~12,000 characters), and a prompt asking Claude to generate FAQ entries grounded in that content.
* When: only when you (or an administrator) explicitly run the WP-CLI command wp tidy-seo-ai-refresh suggest-faq <post_id> after entering an API key in the settings. No call happens automatically.
