How to publish your Programmatic SEO pages on WordPress

Minimum requirements

  • Self-hosted WordPress Account

How does it work?

1. Create a project

Click on "Create New Project" and provide all the necessary information about your project. You will be presented with a choice between two Page Generation Methods: use your own CMS or make use of SEOmatic as your CMS. Opt for "Use my own CMS", choose WordPress and click the "Next" button to proceed.

2. Import your datasets

To generate a Programmatic SEO build, you have the option to either import your data, including your keywords, from a .csv file or enter the keywords manually from the Data tab. If you're creating a single page, you won't need to import any data.
IMPORTANT: In case you upload a .csv file with millions of lines, there is a chance that the application may not be able to process the file correctly at the moment. To prevent this issue, you can try dividing the .csv file into smaller chunks.

3. Create Content

Create your content using our AI-writer and Programmatic SEO features. When you are ready, save your template and click Next to start the Programmatic SEO build.

4. Publish your Pages

Publish on WordPress
Check your Programmatic SEO build, modify or delete pages that you don’t need. To automate actions on your behalf, please enter your credentials and hit the Publish to create these pages on WordPress.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to NOT add slash add the end of your custom domain

What is a self-hosted WordPress?

Using WordPress comes in three flavors:
  • Fully hosted with WordPress.com.
  • WordPress.com with an upgraded plan that allows most of the same functionality you find on self-hosted sites.
  • The self-hosted version, whose software is available for free at WordPress.org. Self-hosted WordPress requires purchasing hosting with another provider, such as Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc., and installing WordPress software on it.
SEOmatic requires that you have a self-hosted version of WordPress to be able to automate actions on your behalf.

F.A.Q

Does your product integrates with Wordpress or does SEOmatic hosts the website also, or both?
SEOmatic has an integration with WordPress and publish the generated content on your behalf on WordPress. However, it is also possible to use SEOmatic without any CMS and we can host the website directly on your custom domain.
Does it support Elementor or any theme?
SEOmatic is unrelated to your WordPress Theme or Page Builder. You can create your pages with the page builder of your choice. SEOmatic will just publish the generated content into your pages.
Does it support Yoast plugin?
SEOmatic is unrelated to Yoast plugin. You can use Yoast plugin to optimize your meta description for SEO. SEOmatic only generates the content for your Landing Pages or Blog Posts.
What is the best way to build the landing pages / blog posts in Wordpress?
You can create Landing Pages or Blog Posts with the Page Builder of your choice. Divi and Elementor are two of the top drag-and-drop WordPress page builders.
