Existing page SEO repair
Open Writrex → SEO Repair. Two tabs: Generated pages (pages Writrex created) and Existing pages (everything else on the site). This page covers Existing pages.
Allowance by plan
| Plan | Scan | Repairs |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Included | 5 lifetime repairs (never resets) |
| Starter | Included | 15 per calendar month, resetting on the 1st in your site's timezone |
| Professional and above | Included | Unlimited |
Undo restores the original metadata but does not refund allowance.
Scanning
Scanning reads your saved metadata — no AI calls, no changes. It runs in batches with a cursor so it can resume, and results are cached. On slower shared hosting, lower the batch size. Saving a page invalidates its cached verdict.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Optimised | The field looks usable under the current scan rules. |
| Plugin default | Your SEO plugin appears to use a template. An empty meta title often means the plugin generates it from its title template — not that the page is broken. |
| Needs improvement | Present, but too short, too long, duplicated, generic or worth reviewing. |
| Missing | No usable saved value. |
Single-page repair
- Pick the fields to repair — title, description, focus keyphrase.
- Propose — Writrex asks your AI provider for suggestions (one request per page) and stores the proposal. Nothing on the live page changes yet.
- Apply — the current values are backed up, then the proposal is written to your SEO plugin.
- Undo — restores the backup for the fields that were written.
Fields that already contain a value are skipped unless you tick overwrite. Changing an existing focus keyphrase changes what your SEO plugin scores the page against.
Bulk repair
Select pages, generate proposals in a chunked queue, review, and apply them together. Each batch is recorded so it can be undone as a group, and field-scoped restore only reverts the fields that were written.
Generated pages tab
Diagnoses meta descriptions on pages Writrex created, proposes a better description and applies it, with backup and restore. Available on every plan.
