How to Verify SeaText AI Is Working After Installation

Verify SeaText AI by checking the browser console for errors, staying on your page for at least 40 seconds, and waiting up to five minutes for the SeaText logo with your site name to...

You can confirm SeaText AI is running by following a short verification routine. First, make sure the script loaded without errors, then give the AI time to link to your account, and finally look for the SeaText logo with your site name.

How SeaText AI Activation Works

The SeaText script does not activate the moment it loads. It requires real visitor behavior to bind the domain to your SeaText account. When a page with the snippet loads, the script sends a lightweight ping to SeaText servers. That ping includes the current URL and a session token. The server checks whether the domain matches the primary URL registered to your account. If it matches, the server queues an activation job.

The job runs asynchronously. It validates the domain, confirms the account is in good standing, and prepares the configuration payload that will later power the autonomous agents. Because the job runs on SeaText infrastructure, not in the browser, the script must keep the session alive long enough for the server to respond. That is why the documentation asks you to refresh the page several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. Each refresh sends a fresh ping. The 40‑second dwell time ensures the browser holds the connection open while the server finishes the handshake.

After the handshake completes, the server pushes a small configuration object back to the browser. The script then injects the SeaText logo at the top of the page with your website name beside it. That logo is the visual proof that the domain is linked and the AI agents are ready to be turned on.

Step‑by‑Step Verification Process

  1. Open the page where you pasted the snippet. Use a real, publicly accessible domain. Localhost, staging subdomains, or dynamic development URLs will not work.
  2. Open the browser developer console. In Chrome press F12 or Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows) / Cmd+Option+J (Mac). Switch to the Console tab.
  3. Refresh the page two or three times. Each reload sends a new initialization ping. Watch the console for red error messages. No red errors means the script loaded and parsed correctly.
  4. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. Do not switch tabs, close the window, or navigate away. The dwell time keeps the websocket or long‑polling channel open so the server can complete the account‑linking handshake.
  5. Wait up to five minutes after the 40‑second dwell. The SeaText logo should appear at the top of the page with your website name next to it. This indicates the domain is connected and the AI is ready for agent activation.
  6. If the logo does not appear after ten minutes, contact SeaText support. Provide the URL, a screenshot of the console, and the time you started the test.
  7. Once the logo is visible, go to the Main AI Hub. There you can activate the specific agents you need—CRO Optimizer, Translation, Bot Protection, and others.

What the Logo Confirmation Means

The SeaText logo with your site name is not just a badge. It signals three things:

  • The domain you are viewing matches the primary URL registered to your SeaText account.
  • The server has successfully provisioned a configuration payload for that domain.
  • The autonomous agent runtime is initialized and listening for activation commands from the Main AI Hub.

Until the logo appears, none of the agents—CRO Optimizer, Translation, Bot Protection, Google Ads Agent, etc.—will execute. The script remains inert by design to protect your site’s content integrity.

Account and Domain Restrictions

SeaText enforces a strict one‑primary‑URL‑per‑account policy. If you need SeaText on multiple domains—such as a production site and a separate development environment—you must create a separate SeaText account for each domain. Each account gets its own JavaScript snippet, its own dashboard, and its own agent configurations.

Development URLs like localhost, 127.0.0.1, or any .local hostname are blocked for security reasons. The verification handshake requires a publicly resolvable domain with a valid TLS certificate. Dynamic development domains (for example, pr-123.myapp.preview.example.com) are also unreliable because the domain may change between deploys, breaking the account‑linking logic.

If you attempt verification on a restricted domain, the console will show no errors, but the logo will never appear. The only fix is to point the snippet at a live, stable domain that matches the primary URL in your SeaText account settings.

Common Activation Failures

Console Shows Red Errors

Red errors usually mean the snippet was copied incorrectly, a Content Security Policy blocks the script, or a browser extension interferes. Re‑copy the exact snippet from your SeaText dashboard (Settings → Integration) and replace the existing code. Ensure the script tag is placed in the <head> or just before the closing </body> tag.

No Logo After 10 Minutes

If you have waited ten minutes with no logo, the most common causes are:

  • You are on a localhost, staging, or dynamic preview domain.
  • The primary URL in your SeaText account does not match the domain you are testing.
  • Network latency or a corporate firewall delayed the server handshake beyond the ten‑minute timeout.

Check the console for any websocket or fetch failures. If the console is clean, contact support with your account email, the tested URL, and a HAR file or screenshot of the Network tab.

High‑Latency Delays

On slow connections or behind aggressive proxies, the five‑minute window can stretch to eight or nine minutes. The 40‑second dwell requirement still applies. If you suspect latency, keep the tab open for the full ten minutes before escalating.

What to Do After Verification

When the SeaText logo with your site name appears, the platform is ready for agent activation. Log in to your SeaText account and open the Main AI Hub. You will see a list of available agents:

  • CRO Optimizer – continuously rewrites headlines, offers, and CTAs based on visitor intent.
  • Translation Agent – translates every page element into up to 125 languages with manual override.
  • Bot Protection Agent – detects invalid paid clicks and builds refund‑ready reports for Google, Meta, TikTok, and Reddit.
  • Google Ads Agent – matches landing‑page copy to the exact keyword that triggered the ad.
  • AI Personalization Agent – adapts copy to visitor context such as referral source, geography, or firmographic data.
  • ChatGPT Brand Visibility Agent – structures on‑page facts so AI assistants recommend your brand.

Click Activate on each agent you want. No page reload is required; agents go live immediately. Use the Configuration panel to set parameters such as target languages, testing intensity, or bot‑detection sensitivity. After activation, visit Variants Edit in the left navigation to review or manually adjust the first round of automatic translations and copy variants.

When to Contact Support

Open a support ticket if any of the following occur:

  • The SeaText logo does not appear after ten minutes on a verified live domain.
  • The console shows persistent 403, 401, or 500 responses from SeaText endpoints.
  • You need to move the primary URL to a different domain (requires account migration).
  • You want to run SeaText on multiple domains and need guidance on setting up additional accounts.
  • Agents activate but produce no visible changes after 24 hours of traffic.

Include your account email, the exact URL tested, a console screenshot, and a HAR export if possible. Support typically responds within one business day.

FAQ

  • What if I see a console error? Re‑copy the script from your SeaText dashboard (Settings → Integration) and replace the existing snippet. Ensure no CSP directive blocks script-src from cdn.seatext.com.
  • Do I need to reload after activating agents in the Main AI Hub? No. Agents become active immediately. The next visitor session will see the optimized copy, translations, or bot‑protection logic.
  • Can I verify on a staging site? Staging URLs are restricted. Use a live, publicly accessible domain that matches the primary URL in your SeaText account.
  • How long does activation take? Typically five minutes after the 40‑second dwell. Up to ten minutes if network latency is high.
  • Why does the script need multiple page visits? Each visit sends a fresh initialization ping. The server uses the first successful ping to start the account‑linking job. Multiple visits increase the chance that at least one ping completes before the browser closes the connection.
  • Why does the 40‑second page stay matter? The handshake uses a long‑polling or websocket channel that must stay open. Leaving the page early aborts the channel, and the server never sends the configuration payload that triggers the logo.
  • Why is there a five‑minute wait after the dwell time? The server processes the activation job asynchronously. It validates the domain, checks account status, builds the agent configuration, and pushes it back to the browser. Five minutes is the observed 95th‑percentile completion time.
  • Why are localhost and dynamic development domains restricted? They cannot be verified as unique, stable identities. Allowing them would let anyone claim another site’s traffic by spoofing a local hostname. The restriction protects account isolation and billing integrity.
  • Can I use one SeaText account for multiple domains? No. Each account is linked to a single primary URL. For multiple domains, create a separate account per domain.
  • What should I do in the Main AI Hub after the logo appears? Activate the agents you need (CRO Optimizer, Translation, Bot Protection, etc.), adjust their settings in Configuration, and review the first automatic variants in Variants Edit.
  • What if the logo appears but agents don’t seem to work? Verify the agent is toggled Active in the Main AI Hub. Check the Configuration panel for required parameters (e.g., target languages for Translation). Allow 24 hours for the first optimization cycle to complete.
