Description
SEO AI for WooCommerce (Bulk SEO for Categories & Products) helps WooCommerce store owners solve two key problems:
- Empty or generic category/product pages with weak SEO value.
- Manual content work that does not scale across 100+ catalog pages.
The plugin gives you an AI-first workflow in PRO: connect API -> test key -> count -> preview -> run -> rollback.
You can generate unique SEO descriptions in batches, review quality reasons before saving, and keep frontend UX clean with collapsible text blocks.
Core idea
- Free: solid text collapse + optional default fallback template for empty category descriptions.
- PRO: data-driven AI generation for categories and products with quality guard, preview, cost estimate, and batch safety.
Free Features
- Automatic text collapse for long category descriptions.
- Optional text collapse for product full description.
- Optional text collapse for product short description.
- Separate line limits for desktop and mobile.
- “Read More / Hide” text customization.
- Button presets and alignment settings.
- Fade gradient support (basic and advanced height/color).
- Button style presets, custom colors, icons, and padding.
- Truncation by lines, characters, or words (HTML-safe).
- Collapse on additional taxonomies and public post types.
- Collapse animation duration and easing.
- Optional fallback template for empty category descriptions with dynamic variables.
- Works with Elementor and AJAX-based themes (including WoodMart-like flows).

How much does AI generation cost?
