Советы и лучшие практики

• Import data first – If you’re switching from another SEO plugin, the import step will save you from re-entering meta descriptions, titles, and other settings.

Настройки и параметры

Советы и лучшие практики

• Use SEO filters to focus your work – Start by filtering for items with missing titles or descriptions. This helps you quickly find and fix the most critical SEO gaps.
• Enable "Only add missing data" for safe batch generation – If you’ve already written good content, turn on this option so the AI only fills in blank fields, leaving your existing work unchanged.
• Work in manageable batches – Adjust the Per Page setting to a comfortable number (e.g., 50) so you can review and edit items without scrolling too much. Use pagination to work through larger sets at your own pace.
• Leverage AI optimization for repetitive tasks – When you have many items with similar content, check multiple rows and use AI Optimize Selected to generate consistent, high-quality metadata in one go.

• Keep an eye on the progress bar and live stats after starting the queue so you know it’s running smoothly.
• Используйте Пауза и Reset buttons if you need to adjust your settings or halt processing for any reason.
• Regularly check the run logs to confirm that your content is being optimized as expected.

Семантическая AI внутренняя перелинковка

Что он делает

It supports resumable batches, provides a link graph mindmap for visualization, and maintains an activity trail so you can review, apply, or undo suggestions.

Как это использовать

1. Перейдите в SkySEOManager > Internal Linking вкладка.
2. (Optional) Adjust the settings under Настройки и параметры to match your preferences (post types, max links per post, candidate pool size).
3. Нажмите Build Semantic Index to generate vector embeddings for all content. This step prepares your site for linking analysis.

8. To see the full picture of how your content is connected, open the mindmap visualization.
9. For a single post, use the Editor Internal Linking feature from the post editor to see and manage links for that specific page.

Настройки и параметры

Советы и лучшие практики

• Build the index first – Always run Build Semantic Index before starting a linking run. This ensures the AI has a complete map of your content.
• Check the Recent Activity table regularly – Suggestions appear there as the run progresses. You can apply or ignore them immediately without waiting for the run to finish.
• Use the mindmap to spot gaps – The link graph visualization helps you see which posts are well-connected and which might need more internal links.
• Adjust candidate pool size for larger sites – If your site has many posts, a larger candidate pool (e.g., 15–20) can uncover better link suggestions, but may increase processing time.

AI Schema Builder

Что он делает

The AI Schema Builder automatically scans your content and generates structured data markup (Schema.org types like FAQPage, HowTo, and Recipe) using artificial intelligence. It creates candidate schema snippets that you can approve or reject, and once approved, the valid JSON‑LD code is added to the head of the page for search engines.

Настройки и параметры

Советы и лучшие практики

• Start small – Begin with one post type (e.g., “Posts”) to see how the AI performs before enabling all types.
• Review each candidate – AI suggestions are high quality but still benefit from a quick manual check to ensure accuracy and enforce your brand voice.
• Revoke outdated schemas – If you update content after a schema has been approved, revoke the old schema and run a new scan to keep structured data current.
• Use the single‑post analysis – For important pages like landing pages or unique posts, trigger a scan from the editor to get schema markup without waiting for a full site scan.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

Что он делает

This feature helps you analyze your pages to see if they are ready to be cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.

• Monitor SEO title and meta description length – The character counts and length scores help you stay within search engine display limits. Aim for titles under 60 characters and descriptions around 155–160 characters.
• Leverage the live SERP preview – As you edit the SEO title and description, the preview updates instantly. Use this to test how your listing will look before publishing.
• Customise social media previews – Set distinct OG and Twitter fields for each post to control the image, title, and description shown when your content is shared – this can improve click‑through rates on social platforms.

Email-уведомления об ошибках 404

Что он делает

Get notified by email when 404 errors occur on your site. You can choose exactly who receives alerts, how often they’re sent, and what the alert messages look like. The feature also lets you set a minimum number of hits before triggering an alert and test that your email configuration works.

Как это использовать

1. Перейдите в раздел SkySEOManager > Монитор 404 tab and expand the 404 Settings раздел.
2. Включите Email Alerts Enabled переключать.
3. Enter the email address where you want alerts sent in the Recipient Email Address поле.
4. Choose your preferred Alert Frequency:
   • Immediate – An email is sent as soon as the threshold is met.
   • Hourly – Alerts are batched and sent once per hour.
   • Daily – A daily digest of 404 events is sent.
5. Установите Minimum Hits Threshold (the number of 404 hits required before an alert is sent).
6. If desired, configure the Alert Threshold Hours (the time window in which those hits are counted).
7. Optionally, customize the Subject Template и Body Template for your alert emails.
8. Under the SMTP settings, enter your outgoing mail server details (host, port, username, password, encryption).
9. Нажмите Send Test Email to verify everything is set up correctly.
10. Once confirmed, the system will automatically send alerts based on your configuration.

Советы и лучшие практики

• Start with a reasonable threshold: Begin with a minimum hits threshold of 3–5 to avoid getting overwhelmed by occasional 404s. Adjust up or down as you see the volume of real errors versus noise.
• Test your email setup: Always use the Send Test Email button after entering your SMTP and recipient settings. This ensures your mail server is correctly configured and that alerts will actually reach you.
• Use immediate frequency for critical pages: For high-value pages (e.g., checkout, login), set the frequency to “Immediate” so you can react quickly. For less critical content, hourly or daily digests are more manageable.
• Customize templates for clarity: Use the subject and body templates to include information like the 404 URL, referrer, and timestamp. This lets you triage errors directly from your inbox without logging into the dashboard.

AI Settings

Что он делает

The AI Settings page lets you configure your preferred AI provider and customize how the system generates titles, descriptions, and image text across SkySEOManager tools. You can set API keys, choose or enter custom models, adjust request timeouts, and create your own prompts. A built‑in connection test helps you verify everything works before using other features.

Как это использовать

1. Go to your SkySEOManager dashboard, open the Настройки tab, and select the AI Settings subtab.
2. Выберите свой Main AI Provider from the dropdown (Gemini is the default; OpenAI, Anthropic, and compatible endpoints are available with the Pro plan).
3. Введите API-ключ for your chosen provider (for example, the Gemini API Key field).
4. If you use a separate key for semantic embedding, fill in the Embedding AI Settings field; otherwise, the main key is used automatically.
5. Select a model from the list or type a custom model ID (for example, under Gemini Model).
6. Установите AI Request Timeout between 5 and 300 seconds to control how long the system waits for an API response.
7. Customize the AI Content Prompt for title and description generation and the AI Media Prompt for image alt text generation.
8. After making any changes, click the Test Connection button to check that your API key and model are working correctly.
9. Review the test result to confirm the connection is successful.

Советы и лучшие практики

• Test after changes — Whenever you update an API key or switch models, click the Test Connection button to catch any misconfiguration early.
• Timeouts — If you experience slow responses or frequent timeouts, try increasing the timeout value (e.g., to 60 seconds) before contacting support.
• Custom prompts — Tailor the AI Content and Media prompts to your brand’s tone and content style for more relevant generated text.
• Provider choice — Gemini works out of the box with a free key. To use OpenAI or Anthropic, ensure you have an active Pro subscription and enter the corresponding API keys.
