🔍 Overview

Once OTTO has analysed your site and generated SEO suggestions, you may want to export those recommendations — along with any AI-generated content — so your development or content team can implement them directly in your website's backend. This article explains what can be exported, where to find the export options, and how to get the content you need.

⚙️ What You Can Export from OTTO

OTTO surfaces suggestions across multiple issue categories, including meta tags, headings, content improvements, and more. After reviewing and completing suggestions within a category, you can export the data for use outside the platform. The following types of output are available for export:

• Completed OTTO suggestions — the recommended changes OTTO generated for your resolved issue categories
• AI-generated content — text produced by OTTO or other AI tools within the platform, such as meta titles, meta descriptions, and on-page copy

🚀 How to Export OTTO Suggestions

1. In the left sidebar, click OTTO SEO → All Sites (SEO Automation) to open the OTTO dashboard.
2. Select the project you want to work with.
3. Navigate to the issue category you have completed (for example, Meta Titles or Meta Descriptions).
4. Look for the Export button — typically represented by a download icon — at the top right of the suggestions table for that category.
5. Click Export to download the suggestions as a CSV file. The file will include the page URL, the original value, and the OTTO-recommended replacement.
6. Repeat this process for each issue category you want to export.

Tip: Export your suggestions after marking a category as complete. This ensures the file reflects only the finalised recommendations you intend to implement.

📊 How to Export AI-Generated Content

If you have used the AI content tools within the platform — such as the Meta Generator or AI Content Templates — you can retrieve that output from the Content section.

1. In the left sidebar, click Content.

2. Navigate to the relevant sub-page:

   • Meta Generator (Left sidebar → Content Assistant v3 → Meta Generator) for bulk meta titles and descriptions
   • AI Content Templates (Left sidebar → Content Assistant v3 → AI Content Templates) for longer-form AI-generated copy
   • On-Page Audit (Left sidebar → Content Assistant v3 → On-Page Audit) for page-level content recommendations

3. Within each tool, use the available Export or Copy option to save the generated content. CSV and copy-to-clipboard options are available depending on the tool.

4. Paste or upload the exported content into your CMS or backend system as needed.

💡 Tips for Applying Exported Content to Your Backend

• Match URLs carefully. Exported CSV files include the page URL in the first column. Use this to match each suggestion to the correct page in your CMS.
• Prioritise completed categories. Only export categories where you have reviewed and approved all suggestions to avoid pushing unreviewed content live.
• Use bulk import tools in your CMS. Most CMS platforms (WordPress, Shopify, etc.) support CSV imports for meta data, which makes applying OTTO's exported suggestions much faster.
• Keep a backup. Before making bulk changes in your backend, export your current meta data as a backup so you can revert if needed.

🛠️ Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Export button is greyed out or missing: Make sure the issue category has at least one suggestion marked as complete. The export option may only appear after suggestions have been reviewed.
• CSV file is empty: This usually means no suggestions have been generated or completed for that category yet. Return to the OTTO dashboard and confirm the category shows completed items.
• Content is not showing in AI Content Templates: Confirm you are viewing the correct project. Use the project selector at the top of the page to switch if needed.
