SEO Plugin Compatibility

The AI Metadata Generator works alongside your existing SEO plugin. It detects what you’re running and writes to the correct fields automatically.

Supported SEO Plugins

Plugin	Status	What Happens
Yoast SEO	Fully supported	Writes to Yoast’s title and meta description fields
Rank Math	Fully supported	Writes to Rank Math’s title and description fields
No SEO plugin	Supported	Uses native AEO God Mode fields

How Detection Works

When you open the AI Metadata page, the plugin checks for:

Rank Math: looks for the RANK_MATH_VERSION constant or the RankMath Paper class
Yoast SEO: looks for the WPSEO_VERSION constant
Neither found: falls back to native ASGM metadata fields

The detection result shows on the AI Metadata page so you always know where your metadata will be saved.

What Gets Written Where

Yoast SEO

Meta title saves to the _yoast_wpseo_title post meta field
Meta description saves to the _yoast_wpseo_metadesc post meta field

These are the same fields Yoast uses when you edit SEO settings on a post. Your generated metadata shows up in Yoast’s SEO panel on the post editor.

Rank Math

Meta title saves to the rank_math_title post meta field
Meta description saves to the rank_math_description post meta field

Same fields Rank Math reads. Your generated metadata appears in Rank Math’s SEO settings on the post editor.

Native (No SEO Plugin)

When no SEO plugin is active, metadata saves to:

_asgm_meta_title for the title
_asgm_meta_description for the description

AEO God Mode renders these as proper HTML meta tags in your page source. The meta title overrides the document title, and the description renders as a standard meta description tag.

Product Descriptions

For WooCommerce products and EDD downloads, the generator also writes a product short description. This saves to the post excerpt field (post_excerpt), which WooCommerce and EDD both use for the product summary on shop pages.

Switching SEO Plugins

If you switch from Yoast to Rank Math (or vice versa), the AI Metadata Generator automatically detects the change on your next visit. New generations will write to the correct fields for your current plugin.

Previous metadata stays in the old plugin’s fields. Most migration tools (like Rank Math’s built-in importer) handle transferring those fields for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the generator conflict with my SEO plugin?

No. It writes to the same fields your SEO plugin already uses. There’s no duplicate output or conflicting meta tags.

What if I use a different SEO plugin like SEOPress or All in One SEO?

The generator currently supports Yoast and Rank Math. For other plugins, it falls back to native ASGM fields and renders the meta tags directly. Your other SEO plugin’s output won’t be affected.

Can I use the generator without any SEO plugin installed?

Yes. The native ASGM mode handles everything. Meta titles and descriptions render properly in your page source for search engines and AI crawlers to read.
