Edit in context
Two questions, one metabox
What is it?
Live SEO score, prioritized fixes, full-page analysis, AI tools, and per-URL GSC keywords in one SEO Booster metabox on the WordPress edit screen.
Who is it for?
Content editors who optimize pages while they write, on posts, products, categories, and tags.
What does it solve?
Tab-switching between analysis tools and Search Console when updating a single URL.
Why the edit screen matters
Fix in context
Score, issues, and the keywords a page ranks for sit beside the content you are editing, so you change the right words immediately.
Find hidden gems
Filter to keywords not used in content to surface terms you already rank for but never mention: easy wins hiding in your impressions.
Rescue wasted impressions
Filter to keywords with no clicks to find high-impression, zero-click queries and rewrite the title or meta to earn the visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do these tools appear?
On the WordPress edit screen for posts, pages, WooCommerce products, categories, and tags, in one SEO Booster metabox with Page settings and tabs for Analysis, AI tools, and Keywords. Enable it via Screen Options if hidden. Other taxonomies may still show a standalone GSC Keywords panel only.
What are hidden gems?
Queries the page already earns impressions for but where the term never appears in your content. Filter the keyword table to Keywords not used in content to find them, then work the phrase into the page naturally.
Does the SEO score analyze my theme too?
Yes. SEO review entire page (on the Analysis tab, when shown) downloads the full rendered output, including theme markup, widgets, and footer: so checks like H1 detection reflect what visitors and Google actually see.
Do I need Google Search Console?
The SEO score and on-page checks work without it. The Keywords tab needs Search Console connected and data imported for that URL.
Do I need AI?
No. Scoring, full-page analysis, and keyword insights work without AI. AI suggestions live on the AI tools tab and are optional via WordPress 7 Connectors or SEO Booster Credits. Run quick review is available in the block editor sidebar only, not in the post metabox.
How is this different from SEO Possibilities?
The edit screen optimizes one page in context. SEO Possibilities is the sitewide, prioritized queue across every analyzed URL.
