Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted an AI-based tool to give your Drupal site’s editors feedback on the SEO readiness of their content? There’s a module for that.
Module name/project name:
- AI SEO Analyzer
Brief history
- How old: created in Aug 2024 by Juhani Väätäjä (j-vee)
- Versions available: 1.0.0-beta1, which supports Drupal 10.3 and 11
Maintainership
- Actively maintained
- Number of open issues: none
Usage stats:
- 2 sites
Module features and usage
- Once you enable this module along with the AI module, you can select the default provider, and optionally modify the default prompt that will be used to generate the report
- With that done, editors (or anyone with the new “view seo reports” permission) will see an “Analyze SEO” tab on nodes throughout the site.
- Generated reports are stored in the database, for ongoing reference
- The reports are also revision-specific, so you could run reports on both a published node and a draft revision
- There’s a separate “create seo reports” permission needed to generate reports. Within the form an editor can modify the default prompt, for example to get suggestions on optimizing for a specific topic, or to add or remove areas from the generated report.
- By default the report will include areas like topic authority and depth, detailed content analysis, and even technical considerations like mobile responsiveness and accessibility. It’s able to do the latter by generating the full HTML markup of the node, and passing that to the AI provider for analysis
- It feels like it was just yesterday that the AI module had its first release, so I think it’s great to see that there are community-created additions like this one already evolving as part of Drupal’s AI ecosystem
