Automated AI SEO Optimization With RightBlogger’s Content Planner
Table of Contents
If you like the idea of publishing on a schedule but hate the extra steps that come after writing, this upgrade is for you. RightBlogger’s Content Planner now supports automated AI SEO optimization for scheduled posts using SEO Reports. That means my drafts get researched and optimized before they ever hit WordPress, without me adding extra tasks to my week.
In this post, I’m walking through how I set it up, the two ways to use it (full automation or one post at a time), and what to do when I run out of SEO Report credits.
What changed in the Content Planner (and why I care)
The big change is simple: I can attach an SEO Report to content that’s scheduled in the planner, and RightBlogger will auto-optimize that post before it publishes.
The practical payoff is that my posts are better positioned for:
- Higher Google rankings, because the content is tuned for SEO.
- More visibility in AI tools like ChatGPT, because the content is structured and thorough.
I also like that this fits an autoblogging workflow without feeling spammy. I still control what goes out, but I’m no longer doing the same optimization chores over and over. If you want the broader WordPress angle on doing this responsibly, this pairs nicely with SmartWP’s WordPress Autoblogging Guide 2026.
You can also start from the source with RightBlogger, since the Content Planner and SEO Reports live there.
Opening the AI Content Planner (and who gets access)
First, I head to the Content Planner inside RightBlogger. This feature is available for Pro and Business plan customers, and it’s basically the home base for building a publish schedule that can run on autopilot.
What makes it useful is the way it scales. When I’m publishing a lot, or juggling more than one site, I can keep everything organized in one place, then let automations handle the repeatable parts.
In other words, instead of treating a content calendar like a reminder list, I treat it like a system. I can add automations, attach SEO Reports, and push finished posts to my site through a connected integration.
The two ways I AI SEO optimize scheduled posts
Inside the planner, I have two paths:
1) Optimize through automations (set it once)
If I already use automations, I can turn on auto-optimization so every post created through that automation gets an SEO Report.
2) Optimize one post at a time (choose it per post)
If I’m mixing manual planning with automation, I can apply SEO optimization to individual posts as I add them to the schedule.
I use both, depending on the project. For my main site, automation is the default. For special posts, I do it one-by-one.
Option 1: Auto-optimize SEO inside an existing automation
When I’m editing an automation, the setup is quick. I go into the planner, click the gear icon to access settings, then find the automation I want to adjust.
From there, I click Edit, and I’ll see a new checkbox: Auto Optimize for SEO. Once I toggle that on, something important happens: each time the automation runs, it uses one SEO Report credit.
That credit is doing real work. RightBlogger researches the topic and optimizes the content for SEO and AI platforms at the same time, then sends it to my site through my connected integration (like WordPress).
Here’s the exact flow I follow:
- Click Edit on the automation I want.
- Check Auto Optimize for SEO.
- Click Next and review the rest of the automation settings.
- Hit Update Automation.
After that, any new content added through that automation gets optimized automatically, no extra clicks later.
Option 2: Optimize a single scheduled post (my “pick and choose” method)
If I want to do this on a per-post basis, I click New Post inside the Content Planner.
At that point, I can choose a topic a few different ways:
- Pick from AI-powered suggestions (based on RightBlogger’s research tied to my site).
- Enter my own keyword.
- Select something from existing content inside RightBlogger.
Before I schedule it, I make sure I toggle Auto Optimize for SEO for that post. Just like with automations, this applies an SEO Report credit and optimizes the content before it gets sent to WordPress.
Then I choose my WordPress integration and set the publish date and time. The planner keeps the post in my schedule, and the optimization happens as part of the workflow.
Checking the SEO score (and what “good enough” looks like)
After a post is in the planner, I open it with Edit Post to confirm the SEO Report ran. In the example shown, the post hit 100% optimized, which is nice to see, but I don’t chase that number.
What matters more is staying in the green.
I aim for the green range, usually around 85 to 95. That’s typically enough to be competitive without forcing the content to sound weird.
The goal is readable, thorough content that’s easy to scan. That helps humans, and it also helps systems that summarize and cite content.
One detail I love is that the topic can be AI-chosen. In the walkthrough, the AI researched what the blog already covers, found real keyword demand, and suggested a post that fit the site. That’s exactly the kind of “quiet help” that makes consistent publishing easier.
When I need more SEO Reports (publishing at scale)
If I’m going all-in on the Content Planner, I burn through SEO Reports faster. So RightBlogger makes it easy to add more.
I go to the Account area, click Usage, and I land on a page that shows:
- My current plan
- Subscription management
- Monthly limits and usage
- A section to manage SEO Reports
From there, I can add additional packs of reports for monthly use. This is especially relevant if I’m publishing 30+ AI SEO optimized posts per month, or if I’m running automations across multiple sites.
If I get stuck, support is available at [email protected].
Helpful extras if you’re building an AI writing workflow
If you’re still setting up your process, these resources pair well with the planner:
On the SmartWP side, if you want a quick way to generate a solid first draft before optimization, I also keep this bookmarked: AI WordPress article writer.
Conclusion
Once I turned on auto-optimization in the Content Planner, my schedule started doing more of the heavy lifting. I still review what’s going out, but SEO optimization no longer feels like a separate project. If you’re publishing at volume, the combination of automations plus SEO Reports is the difference between “I’ll do it later” and “it’s already done.”
