Owl SEO

Find the topics your customers are searching for.

Owl SEO brings cloud-powered keyword research into your WordPress dashboard. Start with the topics you know, add competitor websites, and explore keyword ideas alongside their search volume in one simple workspace.

What you can do with Owl SEO

• Generate keyword ideas from your own seed keywords.
• Add competitor websites as inputs for your research.
• Review keyword suggestions, search volume and already-used status returned by the service.
• Choose whether to remove duplicate keywords.
• Save a local business profile with a language, activity and business goal.
• Decide when your site connects to the external Owl SEO service, and disconnect from Settings.

Get started in a few steps

1. Install and activate Owl SEO.
2. Open Settings, save your business profile, and click Connect to enable cloud research.
3. Open Research, enter keywords or competitor websites, and click Generate.

Research is available to connected sites without requiring a paid plan in this plugin. A working internet connection and access to the external Owl SEO service are required. Your business settings can be saved locally without connecting.

What is included in this free plugin?

The included tools focus on keyword research and local business settings. Research results include the keyword, search volume and whether the service marks the keyword as already used. Results stay on the Research screen until you leave or reload it; this release does not save a research history.

This free plugin does not create, schedule or publish articles. All included plugin functionality is available without a local premium feature lock. The Subscription screen describes separate Owl SEO cloud plans and links to checkout on owlseo.ai. Purchasing a plan does not add article creation or publishing to this plugin. Final prices, trial eligibility and billing terms are confirmed on the checkout website.

An internet connection and a working Owl SEO cloud connection are required for keyword research. Business settings can be saved without connecting. The remote service is operated separately from WordPress.org.

Owl SEO does not guarantee a search ranking, traffic increase or placement in AI answers. Keyword and volume data are supplied by the external service.

External services

Owl SEO: plugin.owlseo.ai

No Owl SEO cloud request is made before the administrator clicks Connect in Settings. Once connected, the plugin may retry an incomplete registration on administrator visits and check the site’s plan on the plugin’s admin screens. Disconnect stops these requests, including research. Saved settings and account credentials remain on this WordPress site for reconnection; uninstall removes them locally. Disconnect does not delete server-side data or cancel a subscription. Contact Owl SEO for remote account requests.

• Registration/reconnection sends the site’s URL, name, locale, tagline, icon URL and a randomly generated site authentication token to /api/plugin/register. The site ID returned by the service is saved locally.
• Plan checks send the site token as an Authorization bearer header to /api/api/session. Responses are cached for ten minutes on success, including free accounts, and two minutes on failure.
• Research sends only the submitted keyword lines, competitor URLs and remove-duplicates choice to /api/plugin/posts/autogenerate, with the bearer token, after you click Generate. The business profile is stored locally; these profile fields are not included in the current research request.
• The service also receives ordinary HTTP connection information, such as the connecting server’s IP address. Refer to its policies for retention and processing.

Owl SEO checkout: www.owlseo.ai

When you choose a plan, a new browser tab opens the website checkout. That URL includes the chosen plan, billing cycle, site ID and site URL so that the purchase can be associated with the correct site. It does not include the authentication token. No payment details are collected by this plugin. The same Owl SEO privacy policy and terms linked above apply.

The demo player loads only after you click its video button on Posts or Research. It uses YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain. Loading the player sends your browser’s IP address and ordinary browser request information to YouTube/Google. The preview image is bundled locally; the plugin makes no YouTube request merely to display the preview.
