Writrex documentation
A complete reference for every screen, setting and safeguard in Writrex - the AI local SEO content plugin for WordPress.
Writrex and Writrex Lite. Writrex Lite is the free edition; Writrex is the paid plugin. Features marked Starter+ Professional+ or Agency+ need that plan or higher.
How Writrex works
Writrex creates, repairs and maintains SEO content from inside WordPress. It works in four stages:
- Configure - add AI keys, business details, brand profiles, language, quality defaults, image settings and indexing options.
- Generate - create a page, blog post, WooCommerce item or campaign draft.
- Review - check the quality gate, metadata, links, template slots and page preview before publishing.
- Maintain - scan existing pages, refresh older content, audit orphan pages, monitor ranks and repair metadata.
Alongside all four stages, Ask Writrex, the built-in AI agent, answers questions about your site and fixes SEO problems as change cards you approve one by one.
