SmartTags AI – WooCommerce Product Tags & SEO Automation

Descripción

SmartTags AI for WooCommerce automatically generates high-quality, SEO-friendly product tags for your WooCommerce store using real Google search suggestions and optional AI models.

Instead of manually guessing keywords or maintaining tags by hand, SmartTags helps you discover long-tail search terms customers actually use, improving product discoverability while saving hours of manual work.

The plugin works out of the box with Google Search Suggestions (no API key required) and supports optional AI-based tag generation using your own API keys.

Why Use SmartTags?

  • Discover real search terms based on Google autocomplete data
  • Improve product discoverability with relevant long-tail tags
  • Reduce manual tagging work across large product catalogs
  • Keep product tags consistent and up to date
  • Maintain full control over when and how tags are applied

Key Features

  • SEO-Friendly Tag Generation – Generate product tags based on real Google search suggestions
  • No API Key Required – Works immediately using Google Search Suggestions
  • Optional AI Tag Generation – Use your own API keys (Google Gemini, Groq, OpenAI)
  • Two Automation Modes
    • Semi-automatic mode – Review generated tags before applying
    • Fully automatic mode – Apply tags automatically using WordPress cron
  • Category Filtering – Select which product categories should be processed
  • Tag Limits – Set a maximum number of tags per product (configurable between 3 and 30)
  • Tag Quality Management – Automatically replace low-quality tags when limits are reached
  • Stopwords Filtering – Built-in filtering removes unwanted or low-quality terms
  • Scheduling – Run automation on a weekly or monthly schedule
  • Testing Tools – Test tag generation on individual or sample products
