New: AI SEO Agent beta, verified AI fixes, bulk dashboard upgrades, and one-time credits
This month’s release is all about helping Shopify merchants act faster and trust their SEO workflow more. SEO HERO now offers guided AI coaching, stronger bulk fix reliability for larger catalogs, more accurate keyword-in-content analysis, better keyword assignment across the store, and flexible one-time credit purchases for high-volume optimization periods.
What’s new
AI SEO Agent now gives in-app coaching, remembers conversations, and recommends next steps
We rolled out a new AI SEO Agent experience that feels more like a practical assistant than a chatbot. It can guide merchants through what to fix first, surface duplicate-keyword risks, keep conversation history, and offer direct action links inside the app.
Why this matters: Instead of staring at a long list of SEO issues and guessing what to do next, merchants get step-by-step guidance based on what’s happening on the current screen.
Bulk Fix Dashboard is now more reliable for large product catalogs
We improved bulk processing for stores with large product lists, added clearer progress details showing what’s being worked on, improved background job behavior after refreshes, and added more control over long-running jobs.
Why this matters: Bigger stores can now run bulk fixes with more confidence, less babysitting, and less fear that progress will get lost mid-job.
Keyword-in-content checks are more accurate—and AI fixes are now verified against the live store
We upgraded keyword analysis to focus on exact-match phrase coverage and healthy usage ranges rather than simplistic density rules. We also improved AI fixes so they are checked against live Shopify page data before they are treated as complete.
Why this matters: Merchants get fewer false positives, fewer awkward over-optimized edits, and more confidence that a “fixed” issue is actually fixed on the live page.
AI keyword assignment is better at using store context and avoiding cannibalization
We improved how AI assigns keywords by pulling in richer context from products, pages, and collections, while also supporting more flexible custom assignment options. The result is better keyword targeting and fewer cases where the wrong pages compete for the same primary term.
Why this matters: Cleaner keyword mapping means stronger relevance signals to search engines and a more organized SEO strategy across the whole store.
One-time credit purchases give merchants more flexibility during busy SEO pushes
We added support for one-time credit purchases, so merchants can buy extra credits when they need them instead of changing plans for a short-term project.
Why this matters: Stores can scale up SEO work during launches, seasonal promotions, or cleanup projects without committing to a bigger subscription.
Recent fixes and polish
- Fixed untitled entries appearing in Recent AI Changes.
- Improved custom primary keyword assignment behavior in AI workflows.
- Reduced incorrect keyword blocking when the current page should remain eligible.
- Improved AI agent troubleshooting, layout, and sidebar restore behavior.
- Refined wording around exact-match keyword checks so recommendations are clearer.
- Improved Bulk Fix dashboard rendering and status handling for smoother long-running jobs.
SEO HERO’s AI SEO Agent audits every product and page, tells you exactly what’s broken, and fixes hundreds of issues in bulk with one click. It’s like hiring a senior SEO consultant for $14 a month.
