AI WebMaker FAQ
Thinking about an AI website for your business, or wondering why your current website is not showing up on Google? This page answers the questions business owners ask us most, from how an AI website builder works and what it costs to how SEO scores, backlinks and keywords really work. Every answer is meant to be useful whether or not you ever sign up. When you are ready, you can build and preview your own website in minutes.
Building and previewing your website cost nothing. Pay only when you go live.
Getting started
What is AI WebMaker?
AI WebMaker is a platform that builds a complete website for your business from a few words about what you do. You type your business name and a short description, and it creates the pages, images and search engine basics, ready to preview in minutes. Everything it builds is yours to change in a simple editor, before and after you go live. Around the website sit tools that help it bring in work, including an AI chatbot, an online store, online bookings, a blog writer and a full set of AI SEO tools.
You can also use many of our tools without a website on AI WebMaker. The SEO checkers work on any website, whether it runs on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or something else. There are business tools too, for company profiles, marketing plans, social media strategies and business documents.
How does an AI website builder work?
An AI website builder takes a short description of your business and turns it into a working website. It works out which pages a business like yours needs, drafts the text for each one, picks images that fit and lays everything out in a design suited to your sector. A good one also handles the search engine basics, such as page titles and descriptions, so Google can understand the website from the start. You then review the result and change whatever you like, instead of starting from a blank page.
On AI WebMaker you type your business name and what you do, and a complete website is built with its pages, images and SEO in place. You can preview it in minutes and edit anything, including by pointing at part of a page and telling the AI what to change. Nothing goes live until you publish, so you can take your time getting it right.
What do I need to build a website with AI?
All you need to begin is your business name and a sentence or two about what you do. The more specific you are about your services, your area and your customers, the closer the first version will be to what you want. You do not need a domain, photos or finished text ready, because the website is built with pages, images and text you can change later. Building and previewing cost nothing, so you can see the result before you decide anything.
It helps to have a few things to hand for the editing stage: your real contact details, opening hours, the prices you are happy to show and any photos of your own work or team. Swapping these in makes the website truly yours and builds trust with visitors. If you already own a domain, keep the login for your domain provider nearby for when you go live.
How long does it take to build a website with AI?
The first version of your website is ready to preview in minutes. That includes the pages, images, text and SEO basics, so you have something complete to react to rather than an empty layout. The rest of your time goes into making it yours: checking the details, adding your own photos and adjusting the wording. How long that takes depends on how much you want to change, but you are refining a finished website, not building one from nothing.
Compare that with the traditional route of briefing a designer, waiting for drafts and going back and forth, which often takes weeks. Because your draft stays separate from the live website, you can also work on it over several sittings. When you are happy, you publish, and only then do customers see it.
Are AI-built websites good enough for a real business?
They can be, as long as you check and personalise the result. A modern AI builder produces a complete, well-structured website with a design made for your type of business, which is often a big step up from a rushed do-it-yourself website. Where any generated website falls short is in the details only you know: your real prices, your story, the exact areas you serve and photos of your work. Spending time on those details is what turns a strong first draft into a website that wins customers.
On AI WebMaker every part of the website is yours to change, and the draft is kept separate from the live website until you publish. If you ever need something beyond the editor, custom changes and custom development can be ordered from your account. That gives you the speed of AI with expert help on hand when you need it.
Which kinds of business can use AI WebMaker?
AI WebMaker has sector designs for many kinds of business, including clinics, trades, restaurants, shops, law firms, studios and agencies. The design, the pages and the wording are shaped around the business you describe, so a plumber and a dental clinic end up with very different websites. If you sell products, the Store Manager lets you sell online, and if you take appointments, the Booking Manager lets customers book online. Whatever your field, describe what you do clearly and the website will be built around it.
Can I build my website in a language other than English?
Yes. The website text can be in any language, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and many others. This matters for businesses across Europe and for anyone whose customers search in their own language, because people trust and buy from websites written in the language they speak. Search engines also match pages to searches in the same language, so writing in your customers' language helps you get found. Once your website is built, read it through with a native speaker's eye to make sure the wording feels natural for your market.
I already have a domain or an unfinished website. Can I start from that?
Yes, that is exactly what the AI Website Launcher is for. If you have a domain with nothing on it, or a website that was started and never finished, it keeps what is good, fills in what is missing and builds the website so it is ready to go live. It saves you from throwing away work you have already done, and from staring at a half-built website wondering where to begin. As with any new website, you can review and change everything before you publish.
Do I need technical or design skills to use an AI website builder?
No. Your website is built for you with its pages, design, images and SEO in place, and the editor lets you change things by clicking on them or by telling the AI what you want in plain words. You do not need to know code, servers or how search engines work to get a professional website online. Hosting and SSL are taken care of when you go live. If you ever want something truly custom, you can order custom changes or development through your account.
Is an AI website builder better than hiring a web designer?
It depends on what you need, your budget and your timeline. A web designer brings a personal eye and can create something entirely bespoke, but that usually means a larger budget and a wait of weeks. An AI website builder gives you a complete website in minutes at a much lower cost, and you stay in control of every change. For most businesses that need a professional website with clear services, contact details and solid search basics, a builder is a sensible place to start.
With AI WebMaker you do not have to choose one or the other. You can build your website yourself and, when you want something the editor cannot do, order custom changes or custom development from your account. That way you only pay for expert help where it adds real value.
Building and editingYour website
Can I edit my website after the AI builds it?
Yes, you can change anything on the page. Text, images, sections and whole pages are all yours to edit, and the AI is there to help whenever you want it. Many people start by replacing general wording with specific details, such as their own prices, service areas and story. Because your draft is kept separate from the live website, you can make as many changes as you like without visitors seeing work in progress.
How do I change part of a page by telling the AI what I want?
In the editor you can point at any part of the page and tell the AI what to change, in your own words. For example, you might point at a heading and ask for it to mention your town, or point at a section and ask for a warmer tone. The AI changes that part only, so you do not have to rewrite the whole page. It is the quickest way to edit when you know what you want but not exactly how to word it.
For small things, such as a phone number or a typo, quick edits let you change the text directly. You can mix both ways of working in whatever way suits you. Either way, nothing reaches your live website until you publish.
Can I add more pages and sections to my website?
Yes. You can add pages and sections in the editor whenever you need them. Typical additions include a page for each main service, a page for each area you serve, a questions section, team profiles and customer testimonials. Separate pages for separate services also help with SEO, because each page can aim at the searches people make for that particular service. Make sure each new page is linked from somewhere sensible on your website, so visitors and Google can find it.
Will my changes appear on my live website straight away?
No, not until you choose to publish. Your draft is kept separate from the live website, so you can edit, experiment and review without customers seeing anything half-finished. When you are happy, you publish and the changes go live. This is especially useful for bigger updates, such as a new service page or a refreshed home page, that you may want to work on over several sittings.
Can I undo a change or go back to an earlier version?
Yes, the editor keeps a change history, so earlier versions of your work are not lost. If you change something and prefer how it was before, you can look back through the history rather than trying to remember the old wording. Combined with the separate draft, this means you can try new headings, layouts or text without worrying about losing what already worked. It is a good habit to look over your draft before publishing, so only the changes you are sure about reach your live website.
Can I use my own photos instead of the images the AI chooses?
Your website is built with images in place so it looks complete from the first preview, and you can change anything on the page, including those images. Your own photos are almost always worth adding where you have them. Pictures of your actual premises, team, products or finished work build far more trust than general images, and they help visitors feel they know you before they get in touch. Use clear, well-lit photos and give each one a short description in its alt text, which helps people using screen readers and helps Google understand the image.
Will my website look like a generic template?
Your website is built around your business rather than dropped into one standard layout. AI WebMaker has sector designs for many kinds of business, and the pages, images and text are created from your business name and what you do. From there you can change anything, add pages and sections, and point at any part of a page to ask the AI for something different. The details you add, such as your photos, your story and your services, are what make it unmistakably yours.
Should I check the text an AI website builder writes for me?
Yes, always. An AI builder writes a strong first draft, but only you know the exact facts of your business: your prices, opening hours, qualifications, promises you are willing to make and the areas you serve. Read every page as if you were a customer and correct anything that is not quite right. Make sure every claim is true and specific, because honest detail builds trust and protects your reputation. Adding your own voice and real examples also makes the website more persuasive and more useful to search engines.
What if I need something the editor cannot do?
You can order custom changes and custom development from your account. This is useful for things the standard editor is not designed for, such as a special feature or an unusual layout. You describe what you need and a developer works on it, so you are not limited to what the editor offers. For everyday updates, the editor and the AI are usually all you need.
How do I publish my website?
When your draft is ready, you publish it and the website goes live. Building and previewing cost nothing, and going live costs $119 a year for hosting with SSL. You will also want a domain, which you can register or connect from your account under Billing and Domains. After publishing, you can keep editing the draft whenever you like and publish again to update the live website.
Hosting, domains and email
Can I use my own domain name with an AI website builder?
With AI WebMaker, yes. If you already own a domain, you can connect it to your website from your account, under Billing and Domains. If you do not have one yet, you can register one from the same place. Your own domain, such as yourbusiness.com or yourbusiness.co.uk, looks more professional than a shared address and is easier to remember and recommend.
Connecting a domain you bought elsewhere usually means changing a few settings with the company you bought it from, so keep that login to hand. Choose a domain you are happy to keep for years, because it ends up on your van, your cards and every link customers share. Changing it later is possible, but it means updating everything that carries the old address.
Is a domain included with hosting?
No, the domain is not included in the $119 a year hosting price. You can register a new domain or connect one you already own from your account, under Billing and Domains. Domain prices vary with the ending you choose, such as .com, .co.uk or .de, and with the company that sells it. Keeping the two separate means that if you already own a domain, you do not pay for it twice.
Should I choose a .com or a country domain such as .co.uk or .de?
If your customers are mainly in one country, a country domain such as .co.uk, .de or .fr tells them straight away that you are local, which can build trust. If you sell across borders or want a name that travels, a .com is the most widely recognised choice. Either way, keep the name short, easy to spell and easy to say out loud. Many businesses also register the closest alternatives to stop anyone else using them.
If you are still looking for a name, our AI Domain Name Finder suggests names for your business whose domain is available, with how many people search their words. That helps you pick a name that is both available and recognisable to customers. Once you have chosen, you can register it from your account, under Billing and Domains.
Is SSL included, and why does my website need it?
Yes, SSL is included with hosting when you go live. SSL puts the padlock in the browser's address bar and makes your address start with https, which means information passing between your visitors and your website is encrypted. Browsers warn people when a website is not secure, which puts customers off before they read a word. For any business that takes enquiries, bookings or payments online, SSL is essential rather than optional.
What is web hosting and do I need it?
Web hosting is the service that stores your website and delivers it to visitors whenever someone types your address or clicks through from Google. Every website needs hosting of some kind, whether it is bundled into a builder or bought separately. With AI WebMaker, hosting comes with going live at $119 a year, with SSL included, so there are no servers for you to set up or look after. You can build and preview your website first, and only pay for hosting when you are ready for customers to see it.
Can I get a business email address with my website?
Yes, business email is available with a website on AI WebMaker. An email address that matches your business name, rather than a personal webmail address, looks established and helps customers trust that messages really come from you. It also keeps business correspondence in one place, separate from your personal email. You can arrange it from your account once your website is with us.
Do I own my website?
The things that make your website yours come from you: your business name, your story, the details you write and the photos you upload. Everything AI WebMaker builds is yours to change, and nothing goes live unless you choose to publish. Hosting is the service that keeps the website online, which is what the $119 a year pays for. Your domain is your business's address, whether you register it through your account or connect one you already own.
Whatever platform you use, it is wise to keep your own copies of your logo, photos and key wording, and to keep the login for your domain safe. That way your business's identity online never depends on any single provider. It also makes life easier if you ever bring in a designer or printer who needs your brand files. A simple shared folder is enough.
Can I move my existing website to AI WebMaker?
If your current website is unfinished or not working for you, the AI Website Launcher can help. It keeps what is good, fills in what is missing and builds a website ready to go live. You can then connect your domain from your account, so customers find the new website at the address they already know. If your website runs on WordPress and you are happy with it, you may not need to move at all, because our AI SEO tools and WordPress plugin work with the website you already have.
Pricing and AI credits
How much does an AI website cost?
Prices vary a lot between AI website builders, so it pays to look at the full picture. Many charge a monthly subscription, some take a fee on every sale, and some keep key features for higher plans. When you compare, add up hosting, the domain, any fees on sales and the cost of extras such as a store, bookings or a chatbot.
With AI WebMaker, building and previewing your website cost nothing. Going live costs $119 a year for hosting with SSL, and the domain is not included. There is no platform fee on your sales. AI work, such as writing articles or SEO fixes, uses AI credits at about $0.65 a credit, which you buy only when you need them.
What do I get for $119 a year?
The $119 a year covers hosting for your website with SSL, which keeps it online and secure. A website on AI WebMaker also switches on a set of tools: the AI Chatbot, the Store Manager for selling online, the Booking Manager for taking bookings, the AI Blog Writer, and Contacts, Outreach and Social posting. Business email is available with your website too. Work the AI carries out for you, such as chatbot replies or new articles, uses AI credits, so you pay for AI work only as you use it.
Is there a monthly subscription?
No. There is no subscription for AI credits: you buy them when you need them and they never expire. Hosting is paid yearly, at $119 a year, once you take your website live. That means there is no monthly bill running in the background for features you are not using. The typical cost of common tasks is set out in this section, so you can estimate your spending before you start.
What are AI credits?
AI credits are how you pay for the work the AI does for you on AI WebMaker. Instead of paying a monthly fee for everything, you spend credits on specific tasks, such as writing an article, researching keywords, writing an SEO fix for a page or answering a visitor in the chatbot. Each credit costs about $0.65, and credits never expire, so anything you do not use stays in your account. A new account starts with 1 credit, so you can try a task before buying any.
How many credits do common tasks use?
Typical prices are 0.1 to 0.3 credit for a fix to one page, 1 credit for keyword research and 2 credits for an article. A chatbot reply costs about 0.1 credit, and an AI edit to a business document costs 0.6 credit. At about $0.65 a credit, an article works out at roughly $1.30 and a chatbot reply at around 7 cents. As an example, publishing four articles a month uses about 8 credits, or roughly $5.20.
How do I buy AI credits?
You buy credits in your account, paying by card or PayPal. You do not need a website on AI WebMaker to buy them, so you can use credits with our SEO and business tools on their own. Credits never expire, so you can buy a small amount to start and top up as you go. A new account already starts with 1 credit.
Do you take a percentage of my online sales?
No, there is no platform fee on your sales. With the Store Manager you connect your own payment gateway, so payments go to your own account with that provider. Your payment provider will charge its own processing fees, as they all do, but AI WebMaker adds no cut on top. This matters more as you grow, because a percentage taken from every order can quietly become one of your biggest costs.
Can I try AI WebMaker before paying?
Yes. Building and previewing your website cost nothing, so you can see your complete website before deciding to go live. A new account also starts with 1 credit, which lets you try an AI task such as a page fix or keyword research. Some tools show you a result before you commit; for example, the first draft of a business document costs nothing, while downloading and editing it need an account. You only pay when you choose to take your website live or buy more credits.
Do I need a website on AI WebMaker to use the SEO tools?
No. Our AI SEO tools check any website, whether it runs on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or anything else. You can buy credits in your account without having a website with us, and use them for AI fixes and keyword research for the website you already have. If your website runs on WordPress, our plugin can apply the fixes you approve inside WordPress. The website tools, such as the chatbot, the store and bookings, are the ones that come with a website on AI WebMaker.
Getting found on Google
How do I get my website on Google?
Google finds websites by following links and reading sitemaps, then decides which pages to show for which searches. To help it, make sure your website is published at its own domain, has a sitemap, and is not blocking search engines in its robots.txt file. Then add your website to Google Search Console, Google's own service for website owners, and submit your sitemap there. This tells Google your website exists and lets you see which searches you appear for.
Being listed is only the first step; being found means appearing for the searches your customers make. That depends on a clear page for each service, good titles and descriptions, helpful content and links from trusted websites. Our AI Website SEO Tools check your website the way Google does and join each problem to the tool that fixes it.
How long does it take for a new website to show up on Google?
A new website often appears in Google within days to a few weeks, especially once you submit a sitemap in Google Search Console. Showing up for your own business name usually comes first, because few other websites compete for it. Ranking well for wider searches, such as your service plus your town, typically takes months, as Google builds trust in a new website over time. You can help it along with well-structured pages, a steady flow of helpful articles and links from reputable websites.
What is SEO and does my business need it?
SEO, or search engine optimisation, is the work of making your website easier for search engines to understand and more likely to appear when people search for what you offer. It covers technical basics such as speed and sitemaps, the words on your pages, and your reputation across the web, which Google largely judges by the links pointing to you. Most customers look online before they buy or call, so if your business does not appear for those searches, a competitor will. SEO is not only for large companies; a local business that targets the right searches can win plenty of customers.
What is a good SEO score?
There is no official SEO score from Google; every SEO tool calculates its own, so scores from different tools cannot be compared directly. Treat a score as a quick summary of how many problems a website has and how serious they are. The most useful way to read it is over time and against your competitors, looking at which issues are holding it back. A higher score means fewer barriers, but rankings still depend on the quality of your content and how well it matches what people search.
Our score is out of 100 and combines on-site checks, worth 60%, with backlink trust, worth 40%. That way a website with perfect pages but no trusted links, or the other way round, will not reach the top of the scale. Each problem behind the score is joined to the tool that fixes it, so you know exactly how to raise it.
How do I choose the right keywords for my business?
Keywords are the words and phrases people type into Google when they look for what you offer. Start by listing your services and the way customers describe them, which is often different from how your trade describes them. For local services, add your location, as in "emergency plumber Manchester". Then check how many people search each phrase and how hard it would be to reach page 1, and focus on phrases with real searches that you can realistically win.
Our Keyword Difficulty Checker shows the monthly searches for a keyword, how hard it is to reach page 1 and related searches, in 40 countries. Give each main page of your website one main keyword to win, rather than trying to rank every page for everything. The AI Website SEO Tools check also suggests the keyword each main page should win. Keyword research for your website costs 1 credit.
What are backlinks and why do they matter for SEO?
A backlink is a link from another website to yours. Google treats links from trusted, relevant websites as votes of confidence, which makes them one of the strongest signals of which websites deserve to rank. A few links from respected local organisations, trade bodies, suppliers or the press often count for more than many links from unrelated or low-quality websites. Spammy links can even work against you, which is why it pays to know who links to you.
Our AI Backlink Checker shows the websites that link to yours, how much authority each one has, whether each link is followed and any spam signals. It also helps you build new links through directory listings, press releases and guest posts. You can see at a glance whether your links are building trust or holding you back.
Why is my website not showing up on Google?
The most common reasons are simple: the website is very new, Google has not been told about it, or something is blocking it. Check that your robots.txt file is not telling search engines to stay away and that your pages are not marked "noindex". Make sure you have a sitemap and have submitted it in Google Search Console. If your website appears for its own name but not for your services, the issue is usually competition, and your pages need clearer targeting, stronger content or more trusted links.
Our robots.txt tester and sitemap checker cover the first two in moments. The full AI Website SEO Tools check includes a Found by Google area that shows whether Google can reach and read your pages. Each problem found is joined to the tool that fixes it.
What are title tags and meta descriptions?
The title tag is the clickable headline Google usually shows for your page in search results, and the meta description is the short summary underneath. Together they form your listing on Google and decide whether someone clicks your result or the next one. A good title names the main thing the page is about, plus your place for local services, in around 60 characters. A good description says what the visitor gets and why they should choose you, in around 150 characters. Google sometimes rewrites them, but well-written ones are more likely to be shown as you wrote them.
Our SERP preview shows how a page looks in Google's results, and the AI Fix Writer writes titles and descriptions for your website's own pages. A fix for one page typically costs 0.1 to 0.3 credit. If your website runs on WordPress, our plugin can apply the fixes you approve.
Does website speed affect SEO?
Yes. Google considers page experience, including how quickly pages load, and slow pages lose visitors before they even see your offer. Speed matters most on phones, where many of your customers will be browsing on the go. Common causes of slow pages are oversized images, too many scripts and a slow server. Fixing the biggest of these usually makes a noticeable difference.
Our server response time check shows how quickly your website's server answers, which is the first step of every page load. It is one of ten single-purpose on-page checkers in our AI SEO tools. Running it before and after you make changes shows whether your fixes made a difference.
What is schema markup and do I need it?
Schema markup is a small piece of code that tells search engines facts about your business in a structured way, such as your name, address, opening hours and services. It helps Google understand your website with certainty rather than guessing from the text. It can also make your pages eligible for rich results, where extra details such as questions and answers or business information appear directly in search. It is not required, but it is one of the simpler ways to stand out from plain listings.
Our schema markup checker shows what structured data a page already has, and our WordPress plugin can add business schema for you. The Sharing and rich results area of the full AI Website SEO Tools check also looks at this. Technical fixes come with steps and code to paste, if you are not on WordPress.
What is local SEO and how do I rank in my area?
Local SEO is about appearing when people nearby search for what you offer, such as "dentist near me" or "electrician in Leeds". It matters for any business that serves customers in a particular town or region. The basics are a complete Google Business Profile, the same name, address and phone number everywhere your business is listed, a page for each service and area you cover, and genuine customer reviews. Links and listings from local directories and organisations also help Google see that you are a real, trusted local business.
Our AI Backlink Checker includes directory listings with a listing kit, which makes it easier to list your business consistently. A link tracker then confirms each link is live. Directory listings are also a simple way to earn some of your first backlinks.
Do I need to keep working on SEO after my website is live?
Yes, because search results keep changing. Competitors add pages and links, Google adjusts how it ranks, and your own website can pick up problems such as broken links or missing descriptions as you edit it. Regular small improvements, such as adding helpful articles and fixing issues as they appear, tend to beat one big push followed by nothing. Checking your website once a month is a sensible rhythm for most businesses.
Our AI fixes include a monthly re-check with an email of what changed, so you do not have to remember to look. The AI Blog Writer can also publish articles on a schedule. Together they keep your website moving forward without taking over your week.
Can I do SEO myself, or do I need an agency?
Many business owners can handle the fundamentals themselves with the right tools. Those fundamentals are a clear page for each service, good titles and descriptions, a fast and secure website, helpful content and links from trusted websites. What makes SEO feel hard is usually knowing what to fix first, not the fixes themselves. An agency can save you time and bring experience for very competitive markets, but it is worth understanding the basics either way so you can judge their work.
Our AI SEO tools are built to make doing it yourself realistic. They find the problems, show which matter most and join each one to the tool that fixes it. The AI Fix Writer writes fixes for your pages, and technical fixes come with steps and code to paste.
How much traffic could my website get from Google?
It depends on how many people search for what you offer, in the places you serve, and how high your pages appear for those searches. Pages on page 1 get the large majority of clicks, and the top few results get most of those, so moving up even a few places can make a real difference. A useful way to think about it is the gap between the visits you get now and the visits you could get if your main pages ranked for the keywords they should win.
That gap is exactly what our tools measure. The AI Website SEO Tools check shows the visits a month your website gets now and the visits within reach, and your workspace shows how many searches a month there are for what you sell, with the next best move to close the gap. It turns a vague goal into a clear number to work towards.
AI SEO tools
Can an AI website builder do SEO?
A good one can take care of the SEO foundations as it builds: page titles and descriptions, a sensible page structure with clear headings, and text that describes your services plainly. On AI WebMaker every website is built with its pages, images and SEO in place, so it is ready for Google from day one. What no builder can do on its own is earn your reputation, which grows over time through helpful content and links from other websites. That is where tools such as the AI Blog Writer and the AI Backlink Checker come in.
What are AI SEO tools and how do they help?
AI SEO tools use artificial intelligence to do the slow parts of SEO for you: checking a website, explaining what is wrong in plain language and writing the fixes. Traditional SEO tools are good at finding problems but often leave you with long lists of technical terms. AI tools can go further, for example by writing a better title for a specific page or working out which keyword a page should target. The most useful ones put problems in order so you know what to do first.
AI WebMaker's AI SEO tools include a full website check, a quick SEO checker, a backlink checker, a keyword difficulty checker, ten on-page checkers, AI fixes and a WordPress plugin. They work on any website, not only ones built with us. Each problem they find is joined to the tool that fixes it.
What does the AI Website SEO Tools check look at?
It checks any website the way Google does and shows the result as a network of your pages. You get a score out of 100 across six areas: Found by Google, Your Google listing, Page structure, Content, Sharing and rich results, and Keywords and traffic. It reads up to 12 pages, lists each page's problems and shows the keyword each main page should win. It also shows the visits a month your website gets now and the visits within reach, and joins every problem to the tool that fixes it.
How can I check my website's SEO quickly?
The AI Website SEO Checker gives you an SEO score out of 100 in about 30 seconds. It checks every public page of your website and shows the keywords you can win. You can have the report emailed to you and saved to your account, which makes it easy to compare after you make changes. It is a good first step before a deeper look with the full AI Website SEO Tools check.
Do your SEO tools work on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and Shopify?
Yes. Our checks read any website from the outside, the way Google does, so they work whether it runs on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or anything else. For WordPress, our plugin can apply the fixes you approve directly inside your website. On other platforms, technical fixes come with steps and code to paste in. Developers can also use our Connect API to apply approved fixes on any platform.
How do I check who links to my website?
The AI Backlink Checker shows the websites that link to yours and rates each one's authority from 0 to 100, based on Open PageRank. It shows whether each link is followed, flags spam signals, finds mentions of your business that have no link and gives you an overall trust score. The full audit goes further, with relevance for each linking website, the anchor text used, toxic links with a disavow file, and history over time. Together these tell you whether your links are helping you, holding you back or simply missing.
How do I get backlinks for my business?
The safest backlinks are the ones you earn because your business is genuinely worth mentioning. Good starting points are trusted business directories, your trade bodies, local organisations, suppliers you work with and local or industry press. Writing a useful guest article for a respected website in your field is another proven route. Avoid buying links in bulk, because low-quality links can do more harm than good.
The AI Backlink Checker helps you build links three ways: directory listings with a listing kit, a press release with outlets to send it to, and guest posts with pitches. A link tracker then confirms each new link is live, so you know your effort has paid off. It also shows the competitor link gap, which points you to websites already linking to businesses like yours.
What is a toxic backlink and should I disavow it?
A toxic backlink is a link from a spammy or manipulative website, such as a link farm or a page stuffed with unrelated links. Google ignores most of these on its own, so a handful of odd links is rarely a problem. Disavowing, which tells Google to ignore specific links, is worth considering when you have a clear pattern of spammy links, for example after buying links in the past. Use it with care, because disavowing good links can hurt you.
The full audit in our AI Backlink Checker identifies toxic links and prepares a disavow file for you, so you can review it before using it. It also shows the history of your links, so you can see when problems started. That context helps you decide whether action is really needed.
How can I see which websites link to my competitors but not to me?
This is called a link gap, and it is one of the quickest ways to find realistic link opportunities. If a directory, association or local news website links to several of your competitors, there is a good chance it would link to you too. Working through that list is usually far easier than finding opportunities from scratch. The AI Backlink Checker shows the competitor link gap alongside your own links.
Can AI write the fixes for my website's SEO problems?
Yes. The AI Fix Writer writes titles, descriptions and other fixes for your website's own pages, so you are not left staring at a list of problems. Technical fixes come with clear steps and code to paste, and keyword research shows what each page should aim for. A fix for one page typically costs 0.1 to 0.3 credit, and keyword research costs 1 credit. After that, a monthly re-check emails you what has changed, so you can see the effect of your work.
What on-page SEO checkers are included?
There are ten single-purpose checkers, each answering one question quickly. The SERP preview shows how a page looks in Google, the heading checker reviews your page structure, and the alt text checker finds images without descriptions. The schema markup and Open Graph checkers look at the data search engines and social networks read, while the broken link, redirect and sitemap checkers catch dead ends. The robots.txt tester checks you are not blocking search engines, and the server response time check measures how quickly your server answers.
Is there an API for applying SEO fixes?
Yes. The Connect API lets developers apply approved fixes on any platform. It is designed for agencies, developers and businesses with custom-built websites who want the fixes from our AI SEO tools to reach their website without copying them across by hand. If your website runs on WordPress, the plugin does this job for you without any development work.
Can I get SEO reports for my industry or show my SEO score on my website?
Yes. There are SEO reports by industry, which give useful context when you look at your own score. There is also a score badge you can display, which shows visitors you take your website seriously. For agencies and consultants, there is an embeddable checker for use on other websites.
The WordPress plugin
Do I need an SEO plugin for WordPress?
In most cases, yes. WordPress on its own does not give you a simple way to set a search title and meta description for each page, add schema or manage redirects. That is why most WordPress websites use an SEO plugin such as Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress. Those plugins give you the fields to fill in, but they do not tell you what to write or which pages need attention first.
Our plugin, AI Website SEO Tools, works alongside the one you already use. It applies the fixes you approve and writes them into Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress, so you get the guidance and the fields filled in. You keep the plugin you know, with better content inside it. There is no need to change how you work in WordPress.
What does the AI Website SEO Tools plugin for WordPress do?
The plugin connects our AI SEO tools to your WordPress website and applies the fixes you approve. It can update search titles, meta descriptions and focus keywords, add articles as drafts, add business schema, fill in image alt text and set up 301 redirects. Instead of copying fixes across page by page, you approve them and the plugin puts them in the right place. It is the quickest way to turn an SEO report into real changes on a WordPress website.
Does the plugin work with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress?
Yes. The plugin writes its fixes into Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress, whichever you use. That means your titles, descriptions and focus keywords stay in the place you already know, and you do not have to replace a plugin you are happy with. If you later look at a page in your SEO plugin, you will see the approved changes there like any others.
Will the plugin change my WordPress website without my permission?
No. The plugin applies approved fixes, and it comes with permissions so you control what it is allowed to do. You can also switch on approval inside WordPress, so each change waits for you or a colleague to confirm it in your dashboard. This is useful when several people look after the website, or when you simply want to see every change before it goes live.
Can I see and undo the changes the plugin makes?
Yes. The plugin keeps a log of what it changed, so you always know which pages were updated and how. If you want to reverse a change, one-click undo puts it back as it was. Together with permissions and optional approval, this means you can let the plugin do the work with full confidence that nothing is permanent unless you want it to be.
Can the plugin set up 301 redirects on WordPress?
Yes, 301 redirects are one of the fixes the plugin can apply. A 301 redirect permanently sends visitors and search engines from an old address to a new one, which matters when you rename a page, remove a service or restructure your website. Without it, people following old links land on an error page, and the search value that page had built up is wasted. Our redirect checker and broken link checker help you find where redirects are needed in the first place.
Can the plugin add new blog articles to my WordPress website?
Yes, the plugin can add articles to WordPress as drafts. Because they arrive as drafts, nothing is published until you have read the article, added your own touches and pressed publish yourself. This keeps you in charge of what appears under your name while saving you the time of writing from scratch. An article costs 2 credits.
Do I have to move my WordPress website to AI WebMaker to use your tools?
No. Our AI SEO tools check your WordPress website as it is, and the plugin applies the fixes you approve inside WordPress. You keep your hosting, your theme and your existing SEO plugin. If you ever decide you would rather have a website built and hosted with us, the AI Website Launcher can help you start from your domain, but there is no need to move just to improve your SEO.
Running your businessChatbot, store, bookings and blog
Can I add an AI chatbot to my business website?
Yes. With a website on AI WebMaker, the AI Chatbot answers visitors' common questions about your business around the clock, so customers get a reply even when you are busy or closed. It captures leads, so the details of interested visitors are not lost, and it works from day one. You can customise it to suit your business. Each chatbot reply costs about 0.1 credit, so you only pay for the conversations it actually has.
What happens when the chatbot cannot answer a question?
Anything complex is passed to you by email, so a customer with an unusual request still reaches a real person. This means the chatbot handles the routine questions, such as opening hours or what you offer, while you deal with the conversations that need your judgement. It is a good idea to reply to those emails promptly, because a visitor who has just asked a detailed question is often close to buying. Over time, you can customise the chatbot so it covers more of the questions you see most often.
Can I sell products on my website?
Yes. The Store Manager lets you sell products online from your AI WebMaker website. You connect your own payment gateway, so customer payments go to your own account with that provider. There is no platform fee on your sales, so the only charges on each order are your payment provider's own fees. That makes it a straightforward way to start selling online without giving away a share of every order.
Can customers book appointments on my website?
Yes. The Booking Manager lets customers book online, whether that is an appointment or another kind of booking that suits your business. Online booking saves you time on the phone, cuts back-and-forth messages and lets customers book when it suits them, including evenings and weekends. Make the booking option easy to find on every main page, because a visitor ready to book should never have to search for how to do it.
Does a blog help my website's SEO?
Yes, when it answers the questions your customers actually search. Each helpful article is another page that can appear in Google, and it gives people who are not ready to buy a reason to visit and remember you. Articles also give other websites something worth linking to, which builds the trust Google looks for. A few genuinely useful articles beat many thin ones, so focus on quality and real questions rather than volume.
The AI Blog Writer plans articles around what your customers search, and includes an SEO audit of your blog so you can see what is working. It organises articles as pillar pages with guides under them, which helps Google understand what your website covers. It can also publish on a schedule.
How does the AI Blog Writer decide what to write about?
The AI Blog Writer plans articles around what your customers search, rather than guessing at topics. It organises them as pillar pages, which cover a main subject in depth, with guides beneath them that answer more specific questions. This structure helps Google see that your website covers a subject properly, and it helps visitors move from a general question to the detail they need. Each article costs 2 credits, and it is worth reading each one before it goes out so it reflects how your business works.
Can I schedule blog posts to publish automatically?
Yes, the AI Blog Writer can publish on a schedule. That means you can plan a month of articles in one sitting and let them go out steadily, which keeps your website fresh without you having to remember. A regular rhythm also gives search engines a reason to come back and check your website more often. Read through each article before it is scheduled, so everything published reflects how your business works.
How do I keep track of people who contact my business?
With a website on AI WebMaker, Contacts keeps the people who get in touch with you in one place, including leads captured by the chatbot. From there you can reach out by email using Outreach, for example to follow up an enquiry or share an offer. Keeping everyone together means no enquiry gets lost in a busy inbox. It also helps you see who has shown interest, so you can follow up at the right moment.
Can I post to social media from AI WebMaker?
Yes, social posting is one of the tools switched on with a website on AI WebMaker, so you can post to social media alongside managing your website. Posting regularly keeps your business visible to people who already follow you and gives them reasons to visit your website. If you are not sure what to post, the AI Social Media Marketing Strategy Maker gives you a 4-week posting calendar with captions and hashtags. Pairing a plan with steady posting is far more effective than posting only when you remember.

How do I write a company profile?
A good company profile tells people who you are, what you do and why they should choose you. It usually includes an about us section, your mission and values, your services, the reasons to choose you and your contact details. Keep it specific: real numbers, real places and real examples persuade far more than general claims. A profile is useful for tenders, partners, investors and new clients who want to know you before they commit.
The AI Company Profile Generator creates a complete company profile with all of those sections, which you can download as a PDF. It gives you a polished starting point that you can check and adjust with your own facts. A finished profile is also useful material for your website's about page.
How do I create an online marketing plan for my business?
Start with what your customers already search for, because that shows where real demand is. Then choose a small number of channels, put them in order of what will bring results soonest, and decide what content you will create for each. Set a budget you can sustain and pick a few numbers to watch, such as enquiries or visits from Google, so you can tell what is working. A plan covering the next 90 days is long enough to see results and short enough to stay focused.
The AI Online Marketing Strategy Generator builds a 90-day plan on what your customers search, with channels in order, content ideas, a budget and the numbers to watch. It gives you a clear order of work instead of a long list of ideas. You can check and adjust it to fit what you know about your customers.
How do I make a social media strategy for my business?
A social media strategy starts with knowing where your customers spend their time and what they want to see from a business like yours. Pick one or two platforms rather than trying to be everywhere, and decide on a few themes you will post about regularly, such as tips, work you have done and customer stories. Plan posts in advance so you stay consistent, and review what gets responses every few weeks. Consistency matters more than volume.
The AI Social Media Marketing Strategy Maker gives you a social media score out of 100 and a strategy with a 4-week posting calendar, captions and hashtags. The score shows where you stand today, and the calendar shows what to post next. Check each caption fits your voice before it goes out.
Can AI create business documents for me?
Yes. AI Documents creates business documents that are complete and editable, so you start from a full draft rather than a blank page. The first draft costs nothing, so you can see whether it fits your needs. Downloading and editing need an account, and each AI edit costs 0.6 credit. As with any document that carries your business's name, read it carefully and make sure the details are right for your situation before you use it.
How do I find a domain name for my business that is still available?
Finding a name you like is easy; finding one whose domain is still available is the hard part. Good domain names are short, easy to spell, easy to say and connected to what you do or what customers search for. Including a word people actually search can help visitors understand what you do at a glance. Check the name is not too close to another business, and say it out loud to make sure it is clear over the phone.
The AI Domain Name Finder suggests names for your business whose domain is available, and shows how many people search their words. When you have chosen one, you can register it from your account, under Billing and Domains. Knowing the search numbers helps you choose between names that sound equally good.
Account and supportPrivacy and help
Do I need an account to use AI WebMaker?
You can see a lot before you sign up. You can build and preview a website, and some tools show you a result straight away, such as the first draft of a business document. An account is needed for things you want to keep or act on, such as saving reports, downloading and editing documents, buying credits and taking a website live. A new account starts with 1 credit, so you can try an AI task as soon as you join.
Will I lose my progress if I sign up halfway through?
No. Signing in or signing up returns you to the page or tool you were using. So if you are halfway through checking your website or creating a document, you can create an account and carry on where you were. You do not have to start again or hunt for the tool you had open.
What will I see after I sign in?
After signing in you reach your workspace. It shows your website's traffic potential: the visits you get now, the visits within reach and how many searches a month there are for what you sell. It also suggests the next best move and gives you a step-by-step plan, where each step opens the tool that does it. That way you always know what to do next, instead of wondering which tool to try first.
How do I get help with my website?
You can get help from your account. If you need changes beyond what the editor offers, you can order custom changes or custom development from a developer there too. For everyday edits, the editor lets you point at any part of a page and tell the AI what to change in plain words, which solves most needs quickly. When you get in touch, describe what you want to achieve and which page it affects, as that helps get you the right answer faster.
Does my business website need a privacy policy?
If your website collects any personal details, such as names and email addresses through a contact form, a chatbot, bookings or a store, you should have a clear privacy notice. In the UK and Europe this is expected under data protection law, and many US states have their own rules too. It should explain what you collect, why, how long you keep it and how people can contact you about their data. Laws differ by country, so take advice if you are unsure what applies to your business.
On AI WebMaker, tools such as the chatbot, Contacts, the Booking Manager and the Store Manager collect details from your visitors so you can follow up, take bookings and fulfil orders. Make sure your privacy notice covers each of these that you use. Review it whenever you switch on a new tool. Keeping it current is a simple way to show customers you take their details seriously.
Can I use AI WebMaker if my business is outside the USA, UK or Europe?
Yes. AI WebMaker works for businesses worldwide, and your website text can be in any language, so you can speak to customers in the language they search in. The Keyword Difficulty Checker covers searches in 40 countries, which helps you understand demand in your own market. Our SEO tools check any website, wherever it is hosted. Credits can be bought by card or PayPal from your account.
