AI Meta Generation

Generate optimized meta titles and descriptions using AI, review suggestions with SERP previews, and apply them as per-URL overrides served by the gateway.

AI Meta Generation uses AI to create optimized meta titles and descriptions for your pages. You select URLs, generate suggestions using credits, review them with live SERP previews, and apply approved suggestions as per-URL overrides. The gateway then serves these overrides to all visitors — no origin changes needed.


How It Works

Select URLs → Generate Suggestions (2 credits/URL) → Review & Approve → Apply as Overrides → Gateway Serves Them
  1. Select URLs discovered from proxy traffic in the URL picker
  2. Generate — enqueues background AI jobs (2 credits per URL, pre-deducted)
  3. Review — inspect suggestions with SERP preview, approve or reject
  4. Apply — approved suggestions become active meta overrides
  5. Serve — the gateway applies overrides at the edge via O(1) path lookup, before any rule processing

Generate & Review

URL Picker

The URL picker shows pages discovered from your proxy traffic logs. Search and select the URLs you want to generate meta suggestions for. The credit cost is displayed before you confirm — 2 credits per URL.

Generation

When you confirm, background jobs are enqueued for each selected URL. The AI analyzes your page content and generates optimized title and description suggestions based on your configuration. Generation is not instant — jobs are processed in the background.

Review Queue

Once generation completes, suggestions appear in the review queue. You can:

  • Filter by status — pending, approved, rejected, or applied
  • Expand rows to see a live SERP preview showing how the title and description will appear in search results
  • Approve or reject individual suggestions
  • Bulk actions — approve, reject, apply, or delete multiple suggestions at once

Active Overrides

The Active Overrides tab shows all meta overrides currently being served by the gateway.

Viewing Overrides

  • Filter by source: manual (created by hand) or AI (applied from suggestions)
  • Search by URL path
  • Each override shows the path, title, description, source, and enabled/disabled status

Manual Overrides

You can create meta overrides manually without using AI generation:

  1. Click Add Override
  2. Enter the URL path, title, and description
  3. Save — the override is immediately active

Managing Overrides

  • Enable/disable toggle — temporarily disable an override without deleting it
  • Edit — modify the title or description
  • Delete — permanently remove the override

How Overrides Work at the Gateway

Meta overrides are applied at the gateway level using an O(1) path lookup — the gateway checks the exact request path against the overrides table. If a match is found, the title and/or description are set before any rule processing occurs. This means overrides take priority over rule-based set_meta_title and set_meta_description actions.


Configuration

The Configuration tab controls how AI generates meta suggestions for your domain.

SettingDescriptionDefault
Brand nameYour brand name, included in generated titles where appropriate
ToneWriting style for generated contentProfessional
Primary keywordsKeywords the AI should incorporate when relevant
Custom prompt instructionsAdditional instructions for the AI (max 500 characters)
Title max lengthMaximum character length for generated titles (30–100)60
Description max lengthMaximum character length for generated descriptions (80–300)160

Tone Options

  • Professional — formal, authoritative language
  • Casual — conversational, approachable tone
  • Persuasive — action-oriented, compelling copy
  • Informative — clear, factual, educational

Scheduled Generation

You can configure automatic generation on a recurring schedule:

FrequencyDescription
WeeklyGenerate suggestions every week for new/changed URLs
BiweeklyEvery two weeks
MonthlyOnce per month

When auto-apply is enabled, approved suggestions are automatically applied as overrides without manual review.


Quality Scores

Each generated suggestion receives a quality score from 0 to 100 based on SEO best practices (length, keyword usage, uniqueness, etc.).

ScoreColorMeaning
80–100GreenGood — meets SEO best practices
60–79YellowFair — could be improved
0–59RedPoor — likely needs manual editing

Staleness Detection

The system tracks a content hash for each page when meta suggestions are generated. If the page content changes significantly after generation, the override is flagged as stale. Stale overrides are highlighted in the Active Overrides list so you can regenerate suggestions for pages whose content has changed.


Credits

  • 2 credits per URL for each generation
  • Credits are pre-deducted when you confirm generation
  • If generation fails for a URL, credits are refunded automatically
  • Check your credit balance in the Billing settings

Limitations

  • Credits required — each generation costs 2 credits per URL
  • Background processing — generation is not instant; jobs are processed asynchronously
  • One suggestion per URL per generation — regenerating for the same URL creates a new suggestion (previous ones are preserved)
  • Path-exact matching — overrides match on the exact URL path; no wildcard or pattern support

The SEO Audit Engine automatically flags pages with missing or suboptimal meta tags. Look for the Fix with AI action on audit issues — it links directly to AI Meta Generation pre-filled for the affected URL.
