Can I Use the Same SeaText AI Settings for All My Domains?
SeaText AI requires a separate account for each domain; settings are not shared across domains. Each account is linked to a single primary URL, so you must create a new account for every site...
SeaText AI does not allow you to share the same settings across multiple domains. Each domain needs its own SeaText AI account. Settings are tied to that account. If you try to use one account for several domains, the AI will not activate correctly because each account is linked to a single primary URL.
| Criterion | Shared settings (not supported) | Separate accounts per domain |
|---|---|---|
| Setup effort | Not applicable – cannot be done | Create an account and install the snippet for each domain |
| Flexibility | None – settings forced to one URL | Full – each domain can have its own agents, languages, and rules |
| Risk of misconfiguration | High – attempting to force sharing leads to activation failures | Low – each account is isolated, so errors stay within one domain |
| Cost | Not supported – shared settings cannot be used | Separate accounts required; verify current SeaText pricing |
Who each option fits: Shared settings do not fit anyone, because SeaText does not offer them. Separate accounts per domain fit anyone running multiple websites, a development site plus a live site, or separate client sites. Each account can then run its own agents and configuration.
Bottom line: Shared settings are not supported. If you want the same agents on all sites, you still need separate accounts. You then recreate the same configuration in each one.
Why domain-specific settings matter
Different sites often need different rules. A development copy may use test data. A live production site must keep stable translations and product copy. If both share the same setup, the AI can rewrite the wrong page or report traffic under the wrong URL.
SeaText AI also changes content in real time. It rewrites headlines, offers, and calls to action based on visitor intent. A setting designed for one audience can alter a page meant for another. Domain-specific settings protect content quality and reporting.
SeaText reports results by page, keyword, and version. If two domains share one account, those results would blur together. Separate accounts keep the numbers meaningful.
Separate accounts give each site a clean environment. You can test changes without touching the live site. You can keep client data isolated when you manage sites for different businesses.
How SeaText AI links accounts to domains
Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL. You enter that URL when you create the account. The platform uses it to verify activation and associate traffic, translations, and variant edits with the correct site.
If the primary URL is missing or invalid, the AI cannot activate. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Dynamic development domains may also fail because SeaText cannot reliably associate traffic with your account.
Use a real, valid domain. For a staging site, use a real subdomain or domain that you control. Do not expect the same dashboard to serve multiple URLs.
How SeaText AI activation works
Activation happens in a few steps. First, copy the JavaScript code provided by SeaText AI. Install it on all pages of the site. If you use WP Engine, install the WP Engine plugin to add custom JavaScript, then apply it across all pages.
The script stays inert until activation. That protects your website content. After installing the snippet, visit or refresh your website several times. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to your account.
Next, wait at least five minutes. You should see your website name displayed next to the SeaText logo at the top of the page. That confirms the connection. If you do not see it after 10 minutes, contact support immediately. The installation may need help.
The JavaScript snippet itself can be pasted on any page. It will only work for the domain linked to the account that generated it. The snippet is not a way to share settings across domains.
How to configure agents in each separate account
Once a domain is connected, go to the Main AI Hub. Activate the AI on the pages you want. Click Configuration to adjust parameters. Each account has its own agents, so settings stay independent.
SeaText AI offers several agents you can activate per account. The Translation Agent translates pages, headlines, buttons, and offers into up to 125 languages. The CRO Optimizer tests headlines, offers, and calls to action. The Google Ads Agent rewrites landing pages to match keywords that triggered paid clicks. The Bot Refund Agent detects bots in paid traffic and builds reports you can submit to Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit, and other ad platforms.
Because each account is separate, you can enable the Translation Agent on an international site but leave it off on a domestic site. You can run the Google Ads Agent for a campaign landing page and the Bot Refund Agent for a paid traffic site. No shared configuration is needed.
Step-by-step process to set up per-domain accounts
Follow these steps for each domain.
- Sign up for a SeaText AI account for the first domain.
- Add the domain as the primary URL in account settings.
- Copy the JavaScript snippet from the General Integration page.
- Install the snippet on every page of that domain.
- Visit or refresh the site several times and stay for at least 40 seconds.
- Wait at least five minutes, then verify the site name appears next to the SeaText logo.
- Repeat for each additional domain, creating a new account each time.
- Configure agents in each account from the Main AI Hub.
Decision criteria: choosing between shared and separate settings
Ask four questions before choosing an approach.
- How many domains do I manage?
- Do I need different languages, keywords, or rules per site?
- Do I need security and reporting isolation?
- Do I need separate billing or client-level controls?
Separate accounts are required in most multi-domain cases. SeaText does not offer shared settings. If you need distinct configurations, security isolation, or separate reporting, use a new account for each site. A single account makes sense only for a single domain. There is no global settings mode.
Practical scenarios for multiple domains
Here are common cases where separate accounts matter.
Development and production. You may have a staging copy of a live site. A separate staging account avoids publishing test edits to production. It also avoids the restrictions that come with localhost.
International expansion. You might want translations on one country site but not on another. The Translation Agent can work in one account while the domestic site stays untouched.
Client or campaign sites. If you manage several brands, separate accounts keep reporting and billing clean. The Bot Refund Agent can track evidence for one client without mixing it with another client's traffic.
Common pitfalls and limitations
- Using a localhost or dynamic development domain may prevent reliable traffic association.
- Attempting to switch domains inside a single dashboard will not work; the AI stays tied to the original primary URL.
- There is no documented way to export settings from one account to another; you must configure each account manually.
- Forgetting to set a primary URL means the AI cannot activate.
- The 40-second rule is not optional. You must leave the page open long enough for activation.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I copy settings from one account to another?
- SeaText AI does not currently document a copy-or-export feature; you would need to recreate the configuration in each account.
- Does using separate accounts increase cost?
- Pricing details are not documented here; check with the vendor.
- What happens if I forget to set a primary URL?
- Without a valid primary URL the AI cannot activate, and you will not see your site name next to the logo.
- Can I use the same JavaScript snippet on multiple domains?
- The snippet itself can be pasted anywhere, but it will only work for the domain linked to the account that generated it.
- Are there any limits on the number of accounts I can create?
- SeaText does not state a limit; create an account for each website you manage.
