How to Verify That Seatext AI Is Working Correctly
To verify Seatext AI is active, log in to your account and check the "Variants Edit" section to see if the system has generated content variants for your URLs. You can also confirm the...
Verification Steps
To verify Seatext AI is working, check three places: your dashboard, your website's source code, and your live pages. Each check confirms a different layer of the system.
- Check the Dashboard: Log in to your Seatext AI account. Navigate to the "Variants Edit" section in the left panel. If the initial scan is complete, you will see a list of your URLs and language variants. If this list is empty, the scan may still be running.
- Verify the Snippet: Open your website's source code in a browser or view the page output. Search for the JavaScript snippet provided during setup. The snippet is a small piece of code placed in the
<head>or<body>of your pages. If it is present, the system is connected. - Test Agent Activation: Go to the Main AI Hub in your Seatext dashboard. Select specific pages and click "Configuration" to adjust parameters. Save your settings. Then visit your live page. If the content changes according to your rules, the agent is active.
These steps confirm the installation is correct and agents are running.
Understanding the Setup Process
Seatext AI uses an "install-then-activate" model. You first add a JavaScript snippet to your website. This snippet lets Seatext communicate with your pages. After installation, Seatext performs an initial scan. The scan typically takes about one hour. During this phase, Seatext reads your content and generates variants for every URL and language.
Importantly, Seatext does not change anything on your website until you manually activate an agent. Activation happens in the Main AI Hub. There, you choose which AI agents to deploy, such as the Translation Agent or the Google Ads Agent. You also select which pages they apply to. This separation ensures safety and gives you full control.
The dashboard shows the status of each agent. You can see if an agent is active or idle. The "Variants Edit" section lets you review and edit AI-generated content before it goes live. This is where you confirm the system is producing variants.
Verification Workflow: Initial Scan vs Active Agent
Two distinct phases exist in Seatext: the initial scan and the active agent phase. Understanding the difference helps you know what to expect.
Initial Scan Phase
After you install the snippet, Seatext starts scanning your site. This process identifies your pages, products, and existing content. The system then creates language variants and content versions. You can watch progress in the "Variants Edit" section. It takes about one hour to complete. During this phase, no changes are visible on your website.
To confirm the scan is working, check the "Variants Edit" section. If you see URLs and variant lists, the scan succeeded. If it remains empty after an hour, the snippet might be blocked or misconfigured.
Active Agent Phase
Once you activate an agent in the Main AI Hub, the system starts modifying your pages in real time. For example, the Google Ads Agent rewrites headlines and CTAs based on incoming keywords. The Translation Agent serves translated pages to visitors in other languages. The Bot Refund Agent monitors traffic and logs bot sessions.
To verify an active agent, visit a live page and see if the changes match your configuration. You can also check the dashboard for agent status indicators. Each agent has an "Active" label when running.
Technical Verification: Using Browser Developer Tools
For a deeper check, use your browser's developer tools to inspect network requests. This confirms that your website is communicating with Seatext servers.
Here is how to do it in any modern browser.
- Open your website in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
- Right-click and select "Inspect" or press F12.
- Go to the "Network" tab.
- Refresh the page.
- Look for requests to Seatext's domain. The domain often contains "seatext" or a related subdomain.
- Filter by "XHR" or "Fetch" to see API calls.
If you see requests to Seatext endpoints, the snippet is active. If you do not see any, the snippet may not be loading.
In WordPress, you can also check by viewing the page source. In the browser, press Ctrl+U to view source and search for "seatext". In Shopify, use the theme editor to confirm the snippet is in the theme.liquid file. For SPAs like React, you may need to check the bundle or use a tool like React DevTools to see if the snippet mounts.
Different CMS platforms have different places to place the snippet. Refer to Seatext's installation guide for your platform. The snippet is usually placed in the head or before the closing body tag.
Advanced Verification: Testing with UTM Parameters
UTM parameters let you simulate specific visitor sources. Seatext agents, like the Visitor Source Agent, use UTMs, referrers, device, and geography to adapt content. You can craft a custom URL with UTM parameters to trigger a specific behavior.
For example, create a link like https://yourwebsite.com/landing-page?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=summer. Open this link in an incognito window. The Visitor Source Agent should detect the source and rewrite the page or route to a different page.
To test the Google Ads Agent, use a URL with a keyword in the query string. Seatext reads the campaign, keyword, and visitor intent. So a URL like ?gclid=abc123 (if supported) can simulate an ad click. Check if the headline changes to match the keyword.
For the Translation Agent, change your browser's language settings to a supported language. Then reload the page. If the agent is active, you'll see the page translated.
Use these tests to confirm each agent is functioning correctly. Always clear your cache or use incognito mode to avoid stale content.
Troubleshooting Common Integration Pitfalls
If Seatext is not working, several issues can cause it. Here are common problems and how to fix them.
Content Security Policy (CSP)
Some websites use CSP headers to restrict script sources. These headers can block Seatext's snippet. Check your server's response headers. Look for Content-Security-Policy or Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only. If present, add Seatext's domain to the script-src directive. For example: script-src 'self' https://seatext.com. Consult your CMS or security documentation.
Conflicting Scripts
Other JavaScript on your page may interfere with Seatext. This happens when two scripts modify the same DOM elements or use the same variables. Check your browser console for errors. Look for conflicts with analytics, chat widgets, or custom scripts. Try disabling other scripts temporarily to isolate the issue.
Single Page Application (SPA) Routing
SPAs like React, Vue, or Angular use client-side routing. Seatext must be initialized after the DOM is ready. If the snippet is placed in the HTML but the app loads later, Seatext may not detect changes. Follow Seatext's specific SPA instructions. Sometimes you need to call a re-initialization function after route changes. Check the documentation for details.
Caching and CDN
Browser cache or CDN caches can hide changes. Clear your cache or use an incognito window. If you use a CDN like Cloudflare, purge the cache for the page. Also check if the snippet is being served from a stale version.
Plugin or App Conflicts
In CMS platforms, plugins may block scripts. In WordPress, security plugins sometimes preload or defer scripts. In Shopify, apps might modify the theme. Check your platform's settings to allow Seatext.
When to Contact Support
If you have tried all troubleshooting and Seatext still does not work, contact support. Go to your Seatext dashboard and find the support section. Provide details about your platform, the snippet installation, and what you have verified. Support can run a technical audit of your integration.
Also contact support if the "Variants Edit" section remains empty for more than two hours. This indicates a deeper problem, like the snippet not loading or being blocked.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does the initial scan take? It typically takes about one hour, but larger sites may take longer.
- Does Seatext change my site automatically? No. It only changes content after you manually activate an agent in the Main AI Hub.
- Can I control what the AI changes? Yes. You can review, edit, or create variants in the "Variants Edit" section.
- How do I know if bot protection is working? Check the fraud detection reports in your dashboard. They document suspicious sessions and evidence for ad refunds.
- Do I need to code to use Seatext? No. After the snippet installation, all actions are done through the dashboard.
- Can I test Seatext without affecting my live site? You can use a staging site or test environment. Or activate an agent on a single page and monitor it.
