Assured SEO is the official companion plugin for the <a href="https://www.assured-seo.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Assured SEO</a> platform, the automated SEO content service built for British small and medium businesses.
Once connected, the plugin receives ready-to-publish blog posts from your Assured SEO dashboard and creates them on your WordPress site automatically. No copy-pasting, no manual uploads, no logging in every time you want to publish.
<h4>What it does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Receives posts from your Assured SEO account via a secure, HMAC-signed REST endpoint</li>
<li>Creates the post on your site with title, full HTML body, and featured image</li>
<li>Honours your chosen default category, author, post status (publish, draft, pending), post format, and comment settings</li>
<li>Writes meta fields for Yoast SEO and Rank Math (SEO title, meta description, focus keyword) when supplied</li>
<li>Accepts featured images either as base64 inline data or by URL sideload</li>
<li>Keeps a rolling delivery log of the last 50 attempts so you can see exactly what arrived and when</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why you might want it</h4>
<ul>
<li>Save hours every month — your content goes live without you touching WordPress</li>
<li>No risky API keys or admin passwords leave your site — only a signed webhook with a secret you control</li>
<li>Works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and any standard WordPress theme</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requires an Assured SEO account</h4>
This plugin is the receiving end of the Assured SEO service. You will need an active Assured SEO account at <a href="https://www.assured-seo.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">www.assured-seo.com</a> to send posts to it. Without an account, the plugin will sit idle — it does nothing on its own.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
This plugin does not collect or transmit any data on its own. It only receives data sent to it by your Assured SEO account, which you authorise by pasting your webhook secret. See the Assured SEO privacy policy at <a href="https://www.assured-seo.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">www.assured-seo.com</a> for details on how Assured SEO itself handles your data.

<h4>External Services Used</h4>
IMPORTANT: This plugin uses external services to generate content and images.
<h4>1. AI Content Generation</h4>
This plugin requires an API key from an AI service provider to generate blog posts.
Why External Service is Required: 
AI content generation requires large language models (LLMs) that run on powerful servers with specialized hardware. These models cannot run locally on a WordPress server due to: 
– Massive computational requirements (billions of parameters) 
– Specialized GPU infrastructure needed for inference 
– Continuous model updates and improvements 
– Resource-intensive processing that would overwhelm typical hosting environments
The plugin sends your prompts to these external AI services where the actual content generation processing occurs on their servers.
Free Version: Unlimited posts with Groq AI exclusively
Service Used: Groq (https://console.groq.com) 
– Completely free, no credit card required 
– Fast AI model (Llama 3.3-70b-versatile) 
– No cost per request 
– Get your API key: https://console.groq.com/
Default API Endpoint: https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions

Data Transmitted: 
– Your prompt text (including keywords) 
– Post generation requests

– No personal data is collected by this plugin
Pro Version AI Providers:

OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5-turbo) 
– Service: OpenAI (https://openai.com)

<h4>2. Featured Images (Unsplash)</h4>
The plugin automatically fetches relevant featured images from Unsplash’s free stock photo API.
Why External Service is Required: 
Unsplash provides access to millions of high-quality, royalty-free stock photos that are properly licensed for commercial use. This service cannot be replicated locally because: 
– Requires access to a curated library of millions of professional photos 
– Ensures proper licensing and attribution compliance 
– Provides search functionality across a vast image database 
– Maintains photographer attribution and licensing information
The plugin queries Unsplash’s API to retrieve images based on your post keywords, ensuring you get properly licensed images with correct attribution.

Privacy Policy: https://unsplash.com/privacy
