Once you install OTTO SEO, our AI will optimize your website elements to meet Google’s core ranking factors. Our innovative AI tool will make content optimizations that improve your website’s semantic SEO through meta tag optimization, NLP entity inclusion, content creation, and more. On-page optimization has never been this easy, fast, or efficient.

Installing OTTO and creating a new project

When you create the project, we will give you 500 AI Generation quotas for free, they are used to AI Generate the fixes for the following issues, in the following order:

The OTTO Autopilot feature allows you to automate site analysis, helping you identify new issues and improvement opportunities at regular intervals. You can schedule this analysis to run every few days, with a minimum of 7 days between each run.

To activate Autopilot, go to the OTTO Project Details page, navigate to the Autopilot/Settings section, and enable the feature. Once activated, you'll be able to select your preferred schedule and allocate screen quotas for the analysis

After each Autopilot analysis, any changes you make to your site will automatically reflect on OTTO. For example, if you delete or add a page on WordPress, the Autopilot will detect these changes, removing the deleted page and displaying the newly added page on OTTO. This makes it easier for you to keep your site content up-to-date and ensure everything runs smoothly without manual oversight.

Keep in mind:

Title tags are crucial for SEO as they impact search engine rankings, click-through rates, and user experience. Well-crafted title tags can attract more clicks, improve relevance, and help avoid duplicate content. They can also aid in branding and local SEO, driving more targeted traffic to your site.

OTTO will flag pages if the title tag is not present or if the title doesn’t meet the length requirements (between 30 and 60 characters) and optimize them by adding specific keywords and changing the length, based on the information found in the page and the Knowledge Graph.

Well-crafted meta descriptions with targeted keywords can improve click-through rates, signaling to search engines that the page is valuable and relevant, which can ultimately enhance the page's ranking in search results.

OTTO will find the pages in the site with missing Meta Description and inject one. Check this loom to see how it works.

OTTO will flag the meta description of a page if it is missing or empty or if it doesn’t meet the length requirements (between 50 and 160 characters).

Missing image alt text can significantly harm SEO as it impairs the ability of search engines to understand and index the content of images. Alt text provides a textual description of an image, which is crucial for search engines to associate relevant keywords with visual content. Without alt text, images cannot contribute to keyword relevance, potentially lowering a webpage's ranking in search results.

OTTO will find the images missing Alt Text and instead of describing what is in the image, it will inject NLP and target keywords to optimize them for search engines. With

this loom, you will see how it works.

Broken and redirect links can significantly impact SEO by disrupting the user experience and search engine indexing. Broken links lead to dead ends, while redirect links, when not implemented correctly, can cause delays and decrease page load speed, negatively affecting user satisfaction and SEO performance.

OTTO will find redirect links and suggest to substitute redirects and link them with their final destination, which helps by saving crawl budget and maximizing the amount of page rank to the linked-to page. Here is an example about how to check if the fix was deployed using Google Search Console .

Historically, meta keywords have provided search engines with a concise summary of the key topics covered on a webpage. Although no longer a direct ranking factor, our experiments have still shown value in adding meta keyword for increased organic visibility. By strategically selecting and incorporating relevant keywords, website owners can signal to search engines the primary focus of their content, potentially improving visibility for specific search queries. Meta keywords also help in organizing and categorizing content more effectively, making it easier for search engines to index and retrieve relevant information, ultimately enhancing the website's discoverability and search ranking.

To optimize this process, OTTO will insert missing keywords for users, ensuring comprehensive coverage of relevant terms. This automated enhancement by OTTO helps maintain thorough keyword inclusion, and can potentially boost the effectiveness of SEO efforts.

Headings are crucial for SEO as they structure the content, making it easier for search engines to understand and index the information on a webpage. This not only enhances the user experience by improving readability, but it also allows search engines to prioritize and rank the content effectively based on the relevance and importance of the headings. Proper use of keywords in headings can further boost a page's visibility and searchability.

OTTO will assist in generating and injecting headings where they are missing and optimizing existing ones. With this loom, you will see it in action.

OTTO will flag the page headers if the H1, H2, H3, and H4 tags are missing or empty, or if they don’t meet the length requirements (between 20 and 60 characters). Missing H1, H2, H3, and H4 will be injected in a display:none and they will not be visible in the page UI, while the fixes to the headings flagged for not meeting the length requirements will be visible in the page.

When multiple URLs have similar or identical content, search engines might get confused about which version to index and rank. The canonical link tag directs search engines to the main version of the content, ensuring that link equity and search ranking signals are consolidated to this preferred URL. This not only enhances the page's ranking potential but also improves the overall coherence and authority of the website in search engine results, check this loom to see how the fixes are deployed

Open Graph is crucial for SEO as it significantly enhances the way content is presented and shared on social media platforms. By using Open Graph tags, webmasters can control how their pages are displayed when linked on social networks, ensuring that the title, description, and image are accurately and attractively represented. This improved presentation can lead to higher click-through rates, increased engagement, and more traffic to the site. Additionally, optimized Open Graph tags can help ensure that content is indexed more effectively by search engines, indirectly boosting search rankings by improving social signals and user experience.

OTTO will flag the Open Graph tags when they are missing or they don’t meet the length requirements (description is > 65 characters) and it will optimize and inject them. You can check if they were injected from the Google Console.

Solving Twitter card issues is crucial for SEO as it ensures that titles, site names, card types, and descriptions are accurately displayed when content is shared on X (formerly Twitter). Properly configured Twitter cards enhance the visual appeal and clarity of shared links, driving more engagement and traffic to the website.

By addressing these issues, you ensure that your content is presented professionally and attractively on social media, contributing to improved SEO performance. OTTO will deploy these fixes, ensuring your Twitter cards are always optimized for the best possible presentation and impact. You can use the Google Console to confirm if the fixes were deployed correctly.

OTTO will flag a page if:

Using the GSC (Google Search Console) Connection, OTTO will identify the keywords for which the page is ranking but are not present in the page's content, and then strategically incorporate them in a display:none. These keywords will not be visible in the page for end users, but they will be visible to Googlebot.

Checking for internal linking opportunities is important in SEO because it improves navigation and user experience, distributes page authority to boost rankings, enhances crawlability for better indexing, increases user engagement by guiding visitors to related content, and highlights key pages to help them rank better in search results.

OTTO is using Site Audit crawled pages and finding similarities between them, so it suggests adding links between similar pages. Check the following loom to see how it works.

Semantic analysis interprets the meaning behind keywords, allowing search engines to deliver more relevant results based on user intent rather than just matching keywords. Knowledge Graph Optimization further enriches this process by connecting related entities and information, creating a structured representation of knowledge that search engines use to provide direct answers and detailed information snippets. Together, these techniques improve visibility, relevance, and user engagement, leading to higher rankings and better user experiences.

OTTO allows users to deploy NLP terms and NLP schema to the sites, helping search engines understand the substance of the page, content, and keywords the page is trying to rank for and systematically deploying the markups to any page on the site. Users can check the results from the Google Console.

Knowledge-Based Trust assesses the credibility of information by cross-referencing it with verified data sources, promoting trustworthy content in search results. Factual Enhancement involves enriching content with accurate and up-to-date information, which improves its authority and user value. By prioritizing trustworthy and factually accurate content, search engines can provide better results to users, thereby increasing a website’s credibility, user trust, and overall search ranking.

OTTO is allowing users to deploy FAQs. Users can plug in target keywords and put in questions and answers and get those answers with the relevant NLP and deploy the schemas to the website immediately.

Topical maps are essential for SEO because they organize content around central themes, enhancing the structure and relevance for both users and search engines. By mapping related keywords and concepts, they ensure comprehensive coverage of a topic, improve keyword targeting, and facilitate effective internal linking. This holistic approach aligns with search engines' semantic understanding, boosting content visibility and authority, while also enhancing user experience by providing valuable and interconnected information.

Using OTTO, you can effortlessly create new Topical Maps. Simply choose a target keyword, and OTTO will automatically construct a detailed topical map to enhance your knowledge base on the chosen subject. Once the topical map is generated, you can go and create articles with the help of AI.

This tool not only saves you time but also ensures a thorough exploration of your topic, helping you discover new connections and insights.

The category schema involves creating a well-structured categorization system that improves the precision and relevance of search results by aligning search engine capabilities with content organization. This helps deliver a better search experience by ensuring that users receive results that are accurate and contextually appropriate.

Indexing is crucial for SEO as it ensures that a website is discovered, interpreted, and ranked by search engines, making it visible in relevant search queries and increasing potential visitor traffic. It allows search engines to understand and evaluate the site's content, improving its relevance and ranking in search results, which enhances user experience by delivering accurate information quickly. Regular indexing ensures updates are promptly recognized, maintaining up-to-date search results and credibility.

OTTO identifies pages with no impressions from Google Search Console (GSC). After clicking the "Deploy" button, OTTO will index these pages and add them to the footer of the homepage.
