All in One SEO (AIOSEO) Integration & Optimization

Before configuring All in One SEO, make sure your WordPress site is connected to Ghost.blog. If you haven't connected it yet, follow Connect Your WordPress Site first.

Once your WordPress site is connected, Ghost.blog can integrate with All in One SEO (AIOSEO) to analyse generated articles, identify SEO issues, and help optimize your content before publishing.

Note: If All in One SEO is already installed and active on your WordPress website, you can skip this step.

Step 1: Install and Activate All in One SEO on WordPress

Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.

  1. From the left sidebar, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin.
  2. In the search bar, search for All in One SEO.
  3. Find the official All in One SEO (AIOSEO) plugin and click Install Now.
  4. Once the installation is complete, click Activate.

Note: If All in One SEO is already installed and active on your WordPress website, you can skip these steps.


Step 2: Connect All in One SEO

  1. Go to Brand Profile → Integrations.
  2. Under SEO Connector, ensure your WordPress site is connected.
  1. From the Target SEO Plugin dropdown, select All in One SEO.

Step 3: Select the Default SEO Engine

  1. Navigate to Brand Profile → SEO Engine.
  2. Under Default SEO Plugin, select All in One SEO.


  1. Click Save SEO Settings to apply your selection.
  2. Once the SEO engine is selected, the Content Library Score section will display the overall SEO score for your content based on the selected plugin. It also shows the average SEO score, the number of articles analysed, and the top failing SEO rules, helping you identify areas for improvement across your content library.

All newly generated articles will be scored and automatically optimized according to the selected SEO engine.

Step 4: Review and Fix the SEO Variables

  1. Go to My Content from the dashboard.
  2. Open one of the generated articles.
  3. Scroll down to the SEO Analytics section.
  4. Select All in One SEO (AIOSEO).
  1. The selected plugin will display all of its SEO variables along with their pass/fail status. For example:
  • Yoast SEO: 21 SEO checks
  • Rank Math: 24 SEO checks
  • All in One SEO: 18 SEO checks

When you've selected All in One SEO (AIOSEO) as your default SEO engine, Ghost.blog analyses every generated article against 18 key SEO best practices. Each check is marked as Passed, Needs Improvement, or Failed, helping you understand which areas of your content can be improved before publishing.

  1. Continue scrolling to the bottom of the analysis to review any failed checks.
  2. Click Fix All Failing Rules to automatically optimize the content based on the selected plugin's recommendations.
  1. Once the fixes are applied, re-run the SEO analysis to verify that the article passes more SEO checks and achieves a higher SEO score.

This process helps ensure that each generated article is optimised according to the SEO plugin's recommendations before it is published.
