Coretex SEO scans your posts and pages, asks an AI model you configure for concrete improvements, and puts every suggestion in an approval queue. Nothing on your site changes until you approve it.<\/p>\n\n
You bring your own AI provider and your own API key. There is no account to create, no key to activate, and the plugin never contacts our servers.<\/p>\n\n
Choose from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI, Perplexity, OpenRouter, or Ollama running locally. You enter your own API key, and requests go directly from your site to the provider you picked. Provider choice is never restricted.<\/p>\n\n
With Ollama, nothing leaves your server at all.<\/p>\n\n
The AI proposes. You decide. Suggestions sit in a queue where you can read, edit, approve or reject each one. Approving is what writes to your site.<\/p>\n\n

It contacts third-party services only when you configure them and only when you trigger an action that needs them.<\/p>\n\n AI providers (required for AI features, you choose which)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n To generate suggestions, the plugin sends the title, excerpt and, where relevant, the content of the post being scanned, plus your Site Profile text if you filled one in, to the AI provider you selected, authenticated with the API key you entered. No request is made until you click a scan button or enable a scheduled audit.<\/p>\n\n IndexNow (optional)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n When you click \"Submit Recent Content to IndexNow\", the URLs of your recently changed posts and pages, plus a site-specific key the plugin generates, are sent to https:\/\/api.indexnow.org so Bing and Yandex learn about the change immediately. Nothing is sent unless you click the button. Terms and documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n DataForSEO (optional)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n If, and only if, you enter DataForSEO credentials, keyword research sends the keyword strings it is researching and a country code to https:\/\/api.dataforseo.com to fetch real monthly search volumes. Without credentials the plugin uses AI estimates instead and makes no request.
