How SeaText AI Works for Multiple Domains
SeaText AI treats each website as a separate account. You create one account per domain, install a JavaScript snippet, and activate the AI individually. This separates content, settings, and agent configuration for every site.
Why does this matter? If you run several websites for clients or brands, you need a clear boundary between them. A change meant for one site should never leak into another. SeaText AI enforces that boundary by linking each account to a single primary URL.
Content variants are also separate. If a translation is approved on one domain, it does not appear on another. Each account stores its own settings and generated content.
After setup, you can run the same agent types on each property. For example, you can use an SEO content agent on two sites. But you configure them in separate accounts. The agents act only on the pages connected to that account.
SeaText AI also offers 20+ autonomous agents for jobs such as landing page rewrites, translations, ecommerce copy, A/B testing, and bot protection. Each account can activate the agents it needs.
Step 1: Create a Separate Account for Each Website
Visit the SeaText AI sign-up page and create a new account for each domain you want to use. Each account is linked to a single primary URL. For example, if you manage example.com and example.org, create two accounts.
You need one account per domain, not per page. A website with 100 pages still uses one account.
Keep the login details for each account separate. Do not try to attach two URLs to one account.
Why per domain? The activation step links traffic from a specific website to one account. One account sharing multiple domains would make it hard to know which site the AI is improving.
Step 2: Install the JavaScript Snippet
Log into the account for the domain you are setting up. Copy the JavaScript code from the General Integration section. Paste it into the <head> of your website pages.
Place the snippet on each page that should be optimized. If a page does not contain the code, SeaText will not see traffic on that page.
If you use WPEngine, download the WP Engine plugin. It lets you add custom JavaScript code to pages network-wide. Apply the plugin across all pages.
The installation process is secure. The AI remains inert until you activate it. That means your site content is not rewritten or changed just because the script is present.
Step 3: Activate the AI by Visiting Your Site
Open your website after adding the script. Visit or refresh the page several times. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This action activates the AI and links it to your account.
Refreshing several times helps ensure the script has loaded. The 40-second visit is the activation trigger.
If you skip this step, the AI stays inactive. No content will be optimized until the activation happens.
Step 4: Verify the Connection
Wait at least five minutes. Then look at the top of the SeaText app. Your website name should appear next to the SeaText logo. This confirms the site is connected.
If the name does not appear after 10 minutes, contact support immediately. The delay may point to an issue with the installation on your platform.
Step 5: Configure and Activate Agents
Go to the Main AI Hub. Activate the AI agents you want on your preferred pages. Click Configuration to adjust the agent parameters for that site.
The Configuration menu controls what each agent can change. This includes headlines, calls to action, translations, and variants.
SeaText AI gives you an initial round of automatic translations and variants for testing. These appear in each account. Log in to the account for the domain, open Variants Edit in the left panel, and select the URL and language you want to edit. You can review, create, or manually edit translations for your variants.
This is useful when the automatic output does not match your brand voice. You can start from the generated version and make precise changes.
Because each domain is a separate account, you must repeat this configuration process for every site. Each account has its own Variants Edit section.
Example Workflow: Managing Two Domains
Suppose you run example.com and example.org. You want both to use SeaText AI for content rewrites, translations, and agent testing.
- Create one account for example.com and one for example.org.
- Log into the first account. Copy the snippet from General Integration.
- Paste it into the head of every page on example.com. If using WPEngine, use the plugin and apply it network-wide.
- Visit example.com several times. Stay at least 40 seconds on a page.
- Wait five minutes. Check the SeaText app. The top should show example.com next to the SeaText logo.
- Go to Main AI Hub. Activate agents for example.com and adjust Configuration.
- Open Variants Edit. Select the URL and language. Review or edit the translations and variants.
- Repeat steps 2 through 7 for example.org using its own account.
This workflow keeps each site's agents and variants separate. If you change something on example.com, example.org is not affected. You can still use similar agent names on both domains because each account is configured independently.
The same workflow works for a client site and your own site. The only difference is the login credentials and the primary URL.
Production vs Staging Domain Use
SeaText AI supports real domains. Production domains are the main live site. Staging domains are test copies used before a launch.
If you use SeaText on both, create a separate account for each. The source instructions give an example: development domain and production domain. Each account is linked to a single primary URL.
For staging, use a valid real URL. Do not use localhost. Localhost is restricted for security reasons. Dynamic development URLs may not work because SeaText might not be able to reliably associate traffic with your account.
Use a fixed staging URL such as staging.example.com. Treat that subdomain as a separate domain with its own account. This lets you test agents before a production launch without changing live content.
| Situation | Account setup | URL requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Live production site | One account for the main domain | Valid real domain |
| Staging site | Separate account for the staging URL | Valid real URL, not localhost |
| Dynamic development URL | May not work reliably | Use a fixed staging URL instead |
Who should use a staging account? Teams that need to preview copy, agents, or translations before publishing. Who needs only production? Solo site owners with no testing environment. In that case, one account is enough.
Using separate accounts also means a staging test will not change production copy. The two accounts do not share variant edits.
Troubleshooting Activation Issues
If a domain does not appear in your SeaText app after activation, follow this order.
- Confirm you created a separate account for that domain. A shared account will not link to a second primary URL.
- Open your page source and confirm the JavaScript snippet is in the
<head>. On WPEngine, check the plugin is applied network-wide. - Visit or refresh the page several times and stay for at least 40 seconds.
- Wait at least five minutes. The top of the app should show your website name next to the SeaText logo.
- If the name does not appear after 10 minutes, contact support. This could indicate an installation issue on your platform.
- Do not test on localhost. Use a valid real domain. If a dynamic development URL does not work, switch to a fixed staging domain.
Why is the 40-second visit important? It activates the AI and links the script to your account. Until that happens, the AI remains inert. That is a safety feature: your content is not changed before activation.
The support team can help if the snippet is not firing. Do not wait longer than 10 minutes before contacting them.

Limitations and Restrictions
Development URLs like localhost are not allowed for security reasons. Dynamic development domains may not work reliably because SeaText might not associate traffic with your account. Each domain must be a valid, real domain.
If you need to manage a staging site, use a separate account with a real staging URL. Do not expect local or temporary URLs to connect. They can create a false negative during troubleshooting.
The separate-account model also means you cannot use one account as a shared hub for many domains. You must set up each domain individually. This is by design, so the AI knows exactly which site to optimize.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the same account for two domains?
No. Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL. You must create a separate account for each domain.
How long does activation take?
After visiting your site for 40 seconds, the AI activates. It may take up to 5 minutes for the domain to appear in your app. If it takes longer than 10 minutes, contact support.
What if I skip the 40-second visit?
The AI stays inert and does not link to your account. Your site will not be optimized until you complete the activation step.
What if I need to manage a staging site?
Create a separate account for the staging domain. Use a real staging URL, not localhost, to ensure reliable tracking.
How do I edit translations and variants?
Log into the account for that domain. Open Variants Edit, select the URL and language, and review, create, or manually edit translations.
Are my accounts isolated from each other?
Yes. Each account is tied to one primary URL. Content, translations, and agent settings live inside that account. The AI remains inert until you activate it on the matching domain.
