Is Rank Math’s Content AI Free for SEO Titles & Descriptions?
You know the routine. You dedicate hours—perhaps even days—crafting the perfect blog post, the ultimate guide, the crowning achievement in your field. But when it’s time to publish, what’s the one element that often gets overlooked or forgotten? The SEO Title and the Meta Description, also known as the “snippet.”
You might wonder, “Does it really matter? I’ve already created an article title, isn’t that sufficient?”
The simple answer? No. The SEO Title and Meta Description are arguably the most crucial aspects of your SEO strategy, following the creation of high-quality content. However, creating them can seem like a daunting task… or is it?
Why SEO Title & Description Matter
Your visible article title is designed to attract existing readers from your site or social media. It’s often catchy or slightly provocative, aimed at those who are already familiar with your brand.
Conversely, the SEO Title (or Title Tag) and Meta Description (the snippet) serve an entirely different purpose. They are the 1-2 punch displayed by Google, Bing, and other search engines on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). They essentially act as advertisements for your content.
- SEO Title: This is your primary selling point to search engines. It should be fewer than 60 characters long and include your core keyword phrase, preferably near the beginning. It’s what will entice users to click on your link.
- Meta Description: This serves as your pitch. Ideally, it’s a concise summary (around 150-160 characters) that persuades potential readers to choose your link over others. While it doesn’t directly affect rankings, a well-crafted Meta Description significantly boosts your click-through rate (CTR), which can enhance your organic performance.
In summary, an appealing SEO Title and Description can transform an underperforming post into a traffic magnet. But crafting 17 of them? That can be a daunting task.
Enter RankMath Content AI: Your AI-Powered Assistant
We currently have around 3,000 articles accumulated over the last 20 years, most without custom SEO Titles or Descriptions. Manually updating all of them is simply not feasible.
Fortunately, RankMath recognised this challenge and introduced Content AI, a tool designed to automate the creation of these tedious SEO elements. But the big question remains: What’s the actual cost?
We decided to put the bulk tool to the test by updating 17 of our neglected posts in one go.
We began with 9,368 Content AI Credits remaining. After selecting the 17 posts and allowing RankMath’s Content AI just 30 seconds to work, we received a notification that the “SEO meta successfully updated for 17 items.” We then checked our credits, which had dropped to 8,888.
The Key Statistics:
- Items Processed: 17 (SEO Title AND Meta Description for each)
- Credits Deducted: 9,368 – 8,888 = 480 Credits
- Cost Per Item (Title & Description): 480 credits / 17 articles = 28.24 Content AI Credits per post
The bottom line? RankMath charges approximately 28.25 credits to generate both a high-quality SEO Title AND a Meta Description for a single post. But how does that translate to actual currency?
The Financial Breakdown: Are You Spending Wisely?
We are on the RankMath STARTER CONTENT AI plan, which costs around USD $70.00 annually. This plan includes a generous 10,000 AI Credits monthly, amounting to 120,000 AI Credits per year.
Now, let’s do some straightforward calculations to understand the true financial cost of generating a Title and Description.
Conclusion
Using the bulk tool to produce both an SEO Title and Meta Description costs you roughly 1.6 CENTS per post with Rank Math. Take a moment to appreciate that.
For less than two pennies, you can automate an essential, time-consuming SEO task that significantly affects your organic traffic. This isn’t merely a cost-effective option; it’s a no-brainer.
Stop manually creating titles. The AI helper is here to ease your workload without straining your budget.
