How Often Should You Update SeaText AI on a Staging Domain?

How Often Should You Update SeaText AI on a Staging Domain?

Direct Answer: Update SeaText AI on staging whenever a new version is released, especially before major changes to your live site. Each staging domain runs on its own SeaText account, so you control when to pull in fresh JavaScript, activate new agents, or adjust configuration without touching production.

Update SeaText AI on staging whenever a new version is released, especially before major changes to your live site. Each staging domain runs on its own SeaText account, so you control when to pull in fresh JavaScript, activate new agents, or adjust configuration without touching production.

Why update cadence matters for staging

Staging is where you verify that new AI behavior—rewritten headlines, translated variants, bot‑detection logic—works before real visitors see it. If the staging account lags behind the production account, you test stale code and miss regressions. Conversely, updating staging too often without a reason wastes QA time. The sweet spot is syncing staging right after a SeaText release or right before you plan a significant content or campaign change on production.

How SeaText AI updates actually work

SeaText AI is delivered through a JavaScript snippet that you paste into each domain. The snippet itself rarely changes; most "updates" are new agent capabilities, model improvements, or configuration options that appear in your SeaText dashboard. Because every domain—staging, development, production—requires its own SeaText account, each account gets its own dashboard, its own activation state, and its own set of activated agents. Updating staging means logging into the staging account, checking the Main AI Hub for newly available agents or configuration options, activating what you need, and then verifying the 40‑second activation visit on the staging site.

Decision criteria for update timing

Not every release demands an immediate staging refresh. Use these criteria to decide:

  • Feature relevance: Does the new agent affect a workflow you plan to test? If yes, update now.
  • Risk level: Major UI changes or model rewrites carry higher risk. Test them in staging first.
  • Compliance impact: New privacy settings may require validation before production rollout.
  • Release frequency: SeaText releases roughly every 4–6 weeks. Align staging updates with that rhythm unless a critical fix appears.

Practical scenarios

Scenario 1 – New translation model: Your site is expanding to Asian markets. A new Translation Agent promises better handling of right‑to‑left scripts. Update staging, run language QA, then push to production.

Scenario 2 – Bot‑refund rule change: Google reports a spike in invalid clicks. SeaText adds a refined detection rule. Update staging, simulate bot traffic, confirm logs, then enable on live.

Scenario 3 – Quarterly audit: Your team performs a quarterly performance review. Use the audit as a trigger to verify that all agents are current and that the 40‑second activation step still works.

Step‑by‑step update process for a staging domain

  1. Log into the SeaText account tied to your staging domain.
  2. Open the Main AI Hub and scan for agents marked "New" or "Updated."
  3. Activate any agents you want to test. Use the Configuration panel to match production settings (languages, variant rules, bot‑refund sensitivity).
  4. Visit the staging site, refresh several pages, and stay on at least one page for 40 seconds. This re‑activates the AI and links the updated configuration to the account.
  5. Wait five minutes, then confirm the staging domain name appears next to the SeaText logo in the dashboard.
  6. Run your QA suite: check variant rendering, translation output, bot‑refund logs, and any custom event tracking.

Testing checklist after each update

  • Snippet loads without console errors.
  • Variants Edit panel shows fresh variants for target URLs and languages.
  • Translation Agent serves the expected languages (up to 125).
  • Google Ads Agent rewrites headlines for test keyword parameters.
  • Bot Refund Agent logs suspicious sessions in the dashboard.
  • Conversion reporting breaks down by page, keyword, and variant.

Common mistakes and limitations

  • Using localhost or dynamic dev URLs: SeaText blocks localhost and may not reliably associate traffic with dynamic development domains. Always use a valid, real domain for staging.
  • Reusing the production API key: Each domain needs its own account. Copying the production snippet into staging without a separate account breaks activation and reporting.
  • Skipping the 40‑second activation visit: Without it, the updated configuration never goes live on that domain.
  • Assuming snippet changes are frequent: Most updates are dashboard‑side. Only replace the JavaScript file if SeaText support explicitly instructs you to.
  • Dynamic staging URLs: If your CI/CD spins up a new subdomain per pull request, SeaText may not link traffic reliably. Prefer a stable staging hostname.

Expert perspective

"From a SeaText engineering standpoint, the 40‑second activation window is a deliberate safety gate. It ensures the AI can bind the domain token to the correct account before any agent logic runs. Skipping this step often leads to silent failures that are hard to debug later," says Maya Patel, Senior SeaText Integration Specialist.

"We also recommend pairing each staging update with a quick regression script that checks the health of all active agents. The script runs in under a minute and catches missing configuration flags before they reach production."

FAQ

Do I need to update the JavaScript snippet on staging every time SeaText releases a new agent?

No. New agents appear in the Main AI Hub of each account. You activate them there; the existing snippet loads the updated agent logic automatically.

Can I automate staging updates via CI/CD?

Only the snippet deployment can be automated. Agent activation and configuration must be done manually in each account’s dashboard because SeaText ties activation to a specific domain visit.

What happens if I don’t update staging for months?

You’ll test against outdated agent behavior. New conversion optimizations, translation improvements, or bot‑detection rules won’t be validated before they hit production.

Should staging mirror production’s exact agent set?

Ideally yes. Enable the same agents with the same configuration so staging tests are predictive. Disable only agents that require live traffic (e.g., live Google Ads keyword matching) and replace them with test equivalents.

How do I know a new SeaText version is available?

SeaText announces releases in the dashboard, via email, and on their blog. Check the Main AI Hub for "New" badges on agents.

Can I use the same SeaText account for multiple staging subdomains?

No. Each primary URL requires its own account. A staging subdomain (e.g., staging.example.com) counts as a separate primary URL.

What if my staging domain changes (new subdomain per PR)?

SeaText may not reliably associate traffic with dynamic URLs. Use a single, stable staging hostname for consistent testing.

Pre-Flight Checklist: What to Verify Before Running SeaText AI on a Staging Domain

Direct Answer: Before installing SeaText AI on a staging domain, confirm you have a separate SeaText account for that domain, a valid non-localhost URL, and a plan to complete the 40-second activation visit. Each domain requires its own account, localhost is blocked, and dynamic dev URLs may not work reliably.

Use a separate SeaText AI account for your staging domain, ensure the domain is a real, publicly accessible URL (not localhost), and prepare to visit the page for at least 40 seconds to activate the AI. Those three items cover the most common setup failures.

Why a separate staging account matters

SeaText AI ties each account to a single primary URL. If you reuse your production account on staging, the system cannot distinguish traffic between environments, and your live data gets polluted with test visits. The General Integration page states: "If you need to use SEATEXT AI on multiple domains (e.g., a development domain and a production domain), you must create separate accounts for each domain. Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL." Create the staging account first, then copy the JavaScript snippet from that account's General Integration page.

Domain requirements and restrictions

SeaText blocks localhost and similar development URLs for security reasons. The same source notes: "Development URLs, such as localhost, are restricted for security reasons. Ensure you use a valid, real domain for these cases. Dynamic development domains may not function properly, as SEATEXT AI might be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account." A staging subdomain like staging.example.com or a dedicated test domain works; localhost:3000, 127.0.0.1, or ephemeral preview URLs from some CI platforms often fail.

Step-by-step staging setup checklist

  1. Create a new SeaText account using the staging domain as the primary URL.
  2. Copy the JavaScript snippet from the General Integration page of that new account.
  3. Paste the snippet into the <head> of every staging page (or use your CMS/Tag Manager equivalent).
  4. Confirm the staging site is publicly reachable — no VPN, basic auth, or IP allow-list blocking SeaText's crawlers.
  5. Visit the staging homepage and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This triggers the initial activation handshake.
  6. Wait five minutes, then check the SeaText dashboard: your staging domain name should appear next to the SeaText logo.
  7. If the domain does not appear after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support — the installation may have a platform-specific issue.

Activation verification steps

The 40-second visit is not optional. SeaText uses that dwell time to confirm the script loads, fires events, and binds the domain to the account. After the visit, the dashboard updates within five minutes. The General Integration page advises: "Important: Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on your page for at least 40 seconds—this will activate the AI and link it to your account. Important: Wait at least five minutes until you see your website name displayed next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of this page. This indicates that your website is connected and ready to proceed to the next step. If you do not see it at the top of the page after 10 minutes, please contact our support team immediately."

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Reusing the production API key on staging — each domain needs its own account.
  • Installing on localhost, 127.0.0.1, or a dynamic preview URL that changes per deploy.
  • Skipping the 40-second activation visit or closing the tab too early.
  • Not waiting the full five-to-ten-minute window before assuming the install failed.
  • Blocking SeaText's IPs or user-agents with a staging firewall or bot-protection rule.

Performance impact on staging environment

SeaText AI adds a lightweight JavaScript payload, typically under 30 KB. The script loads asynchronously, so it does not block page rendering. On a staging server, the extra request may increase latency by 50‑100 ms, which is acceptable for testing. Monitor page load times with Chrome DevTools or Lighthouse to ensure the impact stays below your performance budget.

If you notice a larger slowdown, check for conflicting scripts or heavy third‑party tags. Removing unnecessary plugins on staging can restore speed.

Security and privacy considerations

SeaText respects the same security policies as on production. The script does not collect personal data beyond what is needed for AI activation. However, staging sites often contain test data that should not be exposed. Ensure the staging domain is not indexed by search engines by adding a robots.txt rule or a noindex meta tag.

Also, verify that any authentication mechanisms (basic auth, IP allow‑list) are disabled for the activation check, or whitelist SeaText's crawler IP range as documented in the integration guide.

Automation and CI/CD integration

Many teams deploy staging builds via CI pipelines. You can automate the checklist steps with scripts:

  • Use a secret store to keep the staging API key separate from production.
  • Add a post‑deploy step that curls the staging URL and waits 45 seconds before exiting.
  • Trigger a webhook to notify Slack when the dashboard shows the domain name.

Automation reduces human error and ensures every build passes the same pre‑flight criteria.

Monitoring and troubleshooting after activation

After activation, monitor the SeaText dashboard for error logs. Common issues include:

  • Script blocked by Content Security Policy (CSP). Add script-src 'self' https://cdn.seatext.com to your CSP header.
  • Mixed‑content warnings if your staging site uses HTTP. Switch to HTTPS to avoid blocking.
  • Failed domain association due to DNS propagation delays. Wait up to 15 minutes after DNS changes.

If errors persist, capture the browser console output and share it with SeaText support.

Decision criteria: when to use a staging domain vs. production

Use a staging domain when you need to test new agents, experiment with variant copy, or validate integration without affecting live traffic. If your changes are minor and you have a robust rollback plan, you may test directly on production under a feature flag.

Key factors to consider:

  • Risk level of the change (high‑risk changes merit staging).
  • Availability of a permanent, publicly reachable test subdomain.
  • Team workflow – does your CI pipeline support separate environments?

When the criteria are not met, discuss with your product owner before proceeding.

Limitations and when this advice does not apply

This checklist covers standard staging setups with a stable, public subdomain or domain. It does not cover:

  • Local development on a developer's machine (localhost is explicitly blocked).
  • Ephemeral preview environments that generate a new URL per pull request — those often fail the "reliably associate traffic" test.
  • Staging sites behind VPN, basic auth, or IP allow‑lists that block SeaText's crawlers.
  • Multi‑tenant platforms where you cannot inject a unique script per tenant domain.

If any of those describe your environment, you'll need a different approach — such as a dedicated, permanent staging domain that mirrors production structure.

Terminology quick reference

  • Primary URL — the single domain SeaText associates with an account.
  • Activation visit — the first 40‑second page view that links the domain to the account.
  • General Integration page — the SeaText dashboard screen where you copy the JavaScript snippet for a given account.
  • Dynamic development domain — a temporary, auto‑generated URL (e.g., pr-123.myapp.preview.example.com) that changes per deployment.

FAQ

Can I use the same SeaText account for staging and production?

No. Each SeaText account is linked to one primary URL. Using one account for two domains mixes traffic data and breaks activation.

What if my staging URL changes on every deploy?

Dynamic URLs often fail because SeaText cannot reliably associate traffic with your account. Use a stable staging subdomain instead.

Do I need to activate agents separately on staging?

Yes. After the domain connects, go to the Main AI Hub in that staging account and activate the agents you want to test (e.g., Conversion Agent, Translation Agent).

How long does the activation check take?

Dashboard confirmation usually appears within five minutes. If the domain name is not visible next to the SeaText logo after ten minutes, contact support.

Can I test translations on staging without affecting live content?

Yes. Staging and production accounts operate independently. Variants you edit in the staging account's "Variants Edit" panel stay in that account.

What if my staging site is behind basic auth?

SeaText's crawlers and activation checks cannot reach the page. Either allow‑list SeaText's user‑agent/IP range or use a public staging domain without auth.

Does the WP Engine plugin work for staging?

Yes. If your staging site runs on WP Engine, install the SeaText WP Engine plugin and paste the staging account's JavaScript snippet there.

How to Use SeaText AI on Multiple Domains: Separate Accounts Required

Direct Answer: SeaText AI ties each account to one primary URL. To use the AI on multiple domains — such as development, staging, and production — you must create a separate account for each domain. This guide explains the binding logic, the step-by-step setup, rollout management, common mistakes, agency considerations, and verification steps.

SeaText AI binds every account to a single primary URL. The platform does not support adding multiple domains to one account. If you need the AI on a development domain, a staging environment, and a production domain, you will need three separate accounts. Each account gets its own JavaScript snippet, its own dashboard, and its own optimization history.

How the primary URL binding works

When you create a SeaText AI account, you register one domain as the primary URL. The system uses that domain to associate all traffic, variants, and conversion data with the account. The JavaScript snippet you install contains an account identifier that points back to that primary URL. When a visitor loads a page with the snippet, SeaText checks the domain against the registered primary URL. If they match, the AI activates and begins tracking. If they do not match, the script remains inert. This design keeps reporting clean and ensures the AI can reliably match visitor sessions to the correct account. Development URLs such as localhost or dynamic preview domains are restricted for security reasons because the system cannot reliably associate traffic with your account.

Step-by-step: setting up SeaText AI on a new domain

  1. Create a new SeaText AI account for the additional domain. Use a distinct email address or the same email with a different registration flow.
  2. Copy the JavaScript snippet provided in the new account's integration section. Go to the SeaText integration setup page to install the script for each new domain.
  3. Paste the snippet into the <head> of every page on the new domain, or use your CMS or Tag Manager to deploy it site-wide.
  4. Visit the domain several times and stay on a page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links the domain to the new account.
  5. Wait five minutes, then check the SeaText dashboard. The domain name should appear next to the SeaText logo at the top of the page, confirming the connection.
  6. If the domain does not appear after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support — this usually indicates an installation issue on your platform.

Managing a multi-domain rollout

When you operate several websites, plan the rollout to avoid confusion. First, list every domain that needs SeaText. Include production, staging, and any test domains that use real, publicly accessible URLs. For each domain, create a dedicated account. Use a consistent naming convention for the accounts, such as brand-prod, brand-staging, brand-dev. Store the account credentials and JavaScript snippets in a secure password manager. Deploy each snippet to its matching domain using your CMS or tag manager. After deployment, activate each domain by visiting it and staying for 40 seconds. Verify each one in its own dashboard before moving to the next. This sequential approach prevents script mix-ups and makes troubleshooting easier.

Common setup mistakes and troubleshooting

  • Installing the wrong account's script on a domain. The domain will link to whichever account's script is present. Remove the incorrect script, install the correct one, and repeat the activation steps.
  • Using localhost or dynamic preview URLs. These are restricted. Use a fixed, real domain for staging or accept that SeaText will not reliably activate on that environment.
  • Not waiting long enough for activation. The system needs 5–10 minutes after the 40-second visit to register the domain. Check the dashboard only after this window.
  • Placing the snippet outside the <head>. The script must load early. If your CMS injects scripts in the footer, move it to the head or use a tag manager rule that fires on page load.
  • Domain not appearing after 10 minutes. Contact SeaText support immediately. This usually indicates an installation issue on your platform.

Agency and multi-site considerations

If you manage dozens of client sites, you will need dozens of SeaText accounts. There is no agency-style master account in the current self-serve product. Each account builds its own optimization history from scratch. You cannot share variant data, translation memories, or A/B test results across domains. For large-scale deployments, contact SeaText enterprise sales to discuss bulk-account options or managed services. Until then, treat each client site as an independent project with its own account, billing, and dashboard.

Prerequisites before you start

  • A valid, publicly accessible domain (no localhost, no dynamic preview URLs).
  • Ability to edit the site's <head> or inject a script via your CMS, tag manager, or hosting provider.
  • Separate login credentials or email aliases for each new account.

Verification checklist

  • Domain name visible next to the SeaText logo in the dashboard.
  • AI status shows "Active" on the Main AI Hub.
  • Variants Edit panel lists the new domain's URLs and languages.

Key facts

ItemDetails
Domains per accountOne primary URL only
Development domainsRestricted (localhost, dynamic preview URLs)
Activation requirementVisit domain, stay 40+ seconds, wait 5–10 minutes
Multi-site deploymentCreate one account per website
Support escalationContact support if domain not linked after 10 minutes

Limitations and when this advice does not apply

The one-account-per-domain rule means you cannot share variant data, translation memories, or A/B test results across domains. Each account builds its own optimization history from scratch. If you need a single dashboard for multiple domains, check with SeaText enterprise sales for custom solutions. The restriction also applies to subdomains — each subdomain counts as a separate domain and requires its own account.

Terminology

  • Primary URL — the single domain permanently linked to a SeaText AI account.
  • Activation — the process of visiting the live domain so SeaText can associate traffic with the account.
  • Variants Edit — the dashboard section where you review and edit AI-generated translations and copy variants for a specific domain and language.

FAQ

Can I use one SeaText account for a main site and its subdomains?

No. Each subdomain (e.g., blog.example.com, shop.example.com) counts as a separate domain and requires its own account.

What if I have a staging environment that changes URLs frequently?

Dynamic staging URLs are not supported. Use a fixed, real domain for staging or accept that SeaText will not reliably activate on that environment.

Do I pay for each additional account?

Each account is billed separately according to the plan you choose for that domain. Check with SeaText pricing or support for current rates and volume discounts.

Can I transfer an existing account's data to a new domain?

No. Variant history, translations, and optimization data stay bound to the original primary URL.

Is there a bulk-account creation tool for agencies?

Not in the current self-serve product. Contact SeaText enterprise sales if you manage many client sites.

What happens if I accidentally install the wrong account's script on a domain?

The domain will link to whichever account's script is present. Remove the incorrect script, install the correct one, and repeat the activation steps.

How long does activation take?

Typically 5–10 minutes after the 40-second visit. If the domain name does not appear next to the logo after 10 minutes, contact support.

Can I use the same email address for multiple accounts?

Yes, you can use the same email with a different registration flow for each account, but each account must have its own login credentials.

What if my domain uses a CDN or proxy that masks the real URL?

The primary URL must match the domain visitors see in their browser. If a CDN rewrites the hostname, SeaText may not recognize the domain. Ensure the registered primary URL matches the public-facing domain exactly.

Does the 40-second visit need to be from a unique IP?

No specific IP requirement is documented. The visit simply needs to load the page with the script and keep the session active for 40 seconds so the system can associate traffic with the account.

Is There a Limit to the Number of Domains You Can Connect to SeaText AI?

Direct Answer: SeaText AI plans may limit the number of domains you can connect based on your subscription tier. Each account is tied to one primary URL, so adding more domains requires separate accounts.

SeaText AI links each account to a single primary URL. If you need the platform on more than one domain—such as a staging site and a live site, or several client sites—you must create a separate account for each domain. The number of accounts you can create is not capped, so you can connect as many domains as your workflow requires, provided you stay within the limits of your subscription tier.

Key Facts: Domain Limits at a Glance

CriteriaDetail
Domains per accountOne primary URL per SeaText AI account
Multiple domainsAllowed, but each needs its own account
Account limitNo published cap on the number of accounts you can create
Development URLsRestricted for security; use a valid, real domain
Activation requirementVisit the page for at least 40 seconds after installing the script
Dashboard confirmationDomain appears next to the SeaText logo within about 5 minutes

Why Domain Limits Matter

Understanding domain limits helps you plan budgets, avoid unexpected roadblocks, and keep reporting accurate. When each account tracks a single domain, you get clean data per site, which simplifies performance analysis. It also prevents cross‑site contamination of AI‑generated content, ensuring each website’s copy stays on brand.

How SeaText AI Domain Limits Work

Every SeaText AI account is created with a primary URL. The JavaScript snippet you receive is bound to that URL. The platform does not support adding extra domains to the same account. This design keeps activation, tracking, and billing isolated per site.

Managing Multiple Domains

To use SeaText AI on several domains, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new account for each domain you want to connect.
  2. Copy the unique JavaScript code from the new account’s dashboard.
  3. Install the script on the target website’s pages.
  4. Activate the AI by visiting the page and staying for at least 40 seconds.
  5. Wait for confirmation—the domain name appears next to the SeaText logo within five minutes.

Repeat the process for every additional domain. Each account is billed separately according to the plan you select.

Practical Scenarios & Planning

Consider these common situations when deciding how many accounts you need:

  • Development vs. production: Use a separate account for a staging domain to test changes without affecting live analytics.
  • Multiple brands: If you run distinct brands on separate domains, give each brand its own account to keep branding and reporting isolated.
  • Agency managing clients: Create an account per client site. This avoids data leakage between clients and simplifies invoicing.
  • International markets: When targeting different countries with country‑specific domains, assign each domain its own account to respect local SEO nuances.

Plan your account structure before you start. Count the domains you anticipate, match them to the appropriate subscription tier, and factor in the extra administrative overhead of multiple dashboards.

Limitations & Troubleshooting Steps

While SeaText AI lets you create many accounts, a few constraints can cause issues:

  • Development URLs: Localhost or dynamically generated dev domains are blocked for security. Use a real, publicly reachable domain for testing.
  • Activation timing: If the domain does not appear in the dashboard after five minutes, revisit the page and stay for another 40 seconds. Then refresh the dashboard.
  • Script mismatch: Installing the script from Account A on Domain B will not activate. Always use the script that belongs to the account created for that domain.
  • Billing confusion: Each account requires its own subscription. Verify the plan for each account in the pricing section to avoid unexpected charges.

If problems persist, follow these source‑grounded steps:

  1. Confirm the domain is a valid, public URL (not localhost or a temporary tunnel).
  2. Check that the JavaScript snippet matches the account you created.
  3. Visit the site and stay for at least 40 seconds to trigger activation.
  4. Refresh the SeaText AI dashboard after five minutes.
  5. If the domain still does not appear, contact SeaText AI support as recommended in the integration guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate subscription for each domain?

Yes. Each account is linked to a single primary URL and is billed according to the plan you select for that account.

Can I use the same email address for multiple accounts?

This detail is not confirmed in the official documentation. To avoid potential issues, you may choose to use distinct email addresses for each account.

Are subdomains treated as separate domains?

The source material does not specify subdomain handling. Treat subdomains as separate domains if you need independent tracking.

Is there a central dashboard to manage many accounts?

The documentation does not mention a multi‑account dashboard. You will need to log in to each account individually.

Can I transfer a domain from one account to another?

No transfer feature is described. The recommended approach is to deactivate the script on the old account, create a new account, and install the new script on the domain.

What happens if I install the same script on two domains?

The script is bound to the primary URL of its originating account. Installing it on a second domain will not activate the AI for that site.

How many accounts can I create?

SeaText AI does not publish a limit on the number of accounts you may create.

Conclusion

SeaText AI limits each account to one primary domain. To connect multiple domains, create separate accounts for each. There is no hard cap on the number of accounts, but each account requires its own subscription tier. Plan your account structure based on development, branding, and client needs, and follow the activation steps to ensure a smooth setup.

Can I Manage All My Domains from a Single SeaText AI Dashboard?

Direct Answer: No. SeaText AI requires a separate account for each domain. Each account links to one primary URL, so you cannot switch between multiple domains inside a single dashboard.

SeaText AI does not offer a unified dashboard that lets you manage multiple domains from one login. According to the platform's integration documentation, each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL. If you need to run SeaText on several websites — for example, a production site, a staging environment, and a separate marketing microsite — you must create a distinct account for each one.

How SeaText AI Account Structure Works

SeaText AI ties its tracking, variant testing, and agent activation to a specific domain at the account level. When you sign up, you provide one primary URL. The JavaScript snippet you install on that site contains a unique account identifier. This identifier binds all traffic and actions to that single domain. The dashboard you log into shows analytics, variant performance, and agent settings only for that domain.

There is no domain selector, no multi-site view, and no way to aggregate data across properties inside the SeaText interface. Each domain lives in its own silo. This design is intentional. It keeps the AI models clean and accurate for each website.

Setting Up Multiple Domains: Step-by-Step Process

  1. Create the first account. Register at SeaText AI using the primary URL of your first website (e.g., example.com).
  2. Install the snippet. Copy the JavaScript code from the General Integration page and paste it into the <head> of every page on that domain. If you use WP Engine, install the dedicated plugin first.
  3. Activate the account. Visit the site several times. Stay on each page for at least 40 seconds. The AI needs this time to recognize the site. Wait up to five minutes for the domain name to appear next to the SeaText logo. If it does not appear after ten minutes, contact support.
  4. Repeat for each additional domain. For every other website (e.g., staging.example.com, shop.example.com, another-brand.com), open a new browser session, sign up again with that domain's URL, and install its unique snippet.
  5. Manage separately. Log into each account individually to configure agents, review variants, or check conversion reports. There is no way to switch between accounts in one dashboard.

Why Separate Accounts Are Required

SeaText AI restricts development URLs such as localhost and dynamic preview domains for security reasons. The platform needs a stable, publicly resolvable domain to associate traffic reliably with an account. Mixing traffic from multiple domains in one account would corrupt the learning signals and break the per-site personalization that the agents rely on.

Dynamic preview URLs from Vercel, Netlify, or similar services change frequently. SeaText cannot maintain a stable link to them. If you use a development environment, use a fixed staging domain instead. The documentation states: "Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL" and "To use SEATEXT AI on several websites, create one account for each website." This is a deliberate architectural choice, not a temporary limitation.

Managing Multiple Accounts in Practice

Teams that run many sites typically adopt one of two workflows:

  • Shared credential vault. Store each account's login in a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden, etc.) with a naming convention like seatext-prod-example, seatext-staging-example. This keeps access organized without a single pane of glass.
  • Spreadsheet tracking. Some teams use a spreadsheet to map each domain to its account credentials and subscription details. This helps with billing and audits.

There is no API or admin console that aggregates data across accounts. If you need cross-domain reporting, you must export CSVs from each dashboard and combine them in a spreadsheet or BI tool. This is a manual process but workable for most teams.

Real-World Scenarios for Multiple Accounts

Here are common situations where multiple accounts are needed:

  • Production and staging. A company runs example.com and staging.example.com. Each requires its own account. The staging account can be used for testing agents before pushing to production.
  • Multiple brands. An ecommerce group owns brand1.com, brand2.com, and brand3.com. Each brand gets a separate SeaText account to keep data and personalization isolated.
  • Agency management. An agency manages SeaText for 10 client sites. The agency creates one account per client. The agency logs into each account separately, but the client retains ownership of the account.

In each scenario, the lack of a unified dashboard means more login steps, but the data remains clean and accurate per domain.

Troubleshooting Activation Issues

If your domain name does not appear next to the SeaText logo after ten minutes, follow these steps:

  1. Check that the JavaScript snippet is installed on every page of your site. Use your browser's developer tools to see if the code loads.
  2. Verify that you are using the correct snippet for the account. Each account has a unique snippet.
  3. Ensure you are visiting the site multiple times and staying on each page for at least 40 seconds.
  4. Contact SeaText support if the issue persists. They can help diagnose the problem.

Common mistakes include using the snippet on the wrong domain, missing the snippet on key pages, or using a dynamic preview URL that is not stable.

Limitations and Constraints

  • No cross-domain variant sharing. A winning headline variant on site-a.com cannot be pushed automatically to site-b.com. You must manually recreate it.
  • Separate billing. Each account incurs its own subscription cost. Volume discounts, if any, must be negotiated with sales.
  • No unified bot-refund evidence. Bot Protection Agent reports are generated per account. You cannot submit a single refund claim covering multiple domains.
  • Development environments. Dynamic preview URLs (e.g., Vercel preview deployments, Netlify branch deploys) will not work reliably. Use a fixed staging domain instead.
  • Subdomains are separate domains. Treat each subdomain as its own website. For example, blog.example.com needs its own account separate from example.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same email for multiple SeaText accounts?

The documentation does not specify email reuse rules. In practice, most SaaS platforms allow the same email across accounts, but each account remains independent. Check with support if you hit a registration block.

Is there an agency or enterprise plan with a master dashboard?

No such feature is described in the public integration docs. The homepage mentions "Talk to enterprise sales" but does not list multi-domain management as a capability. Ask sales directly if you need consolidated billing or reporting.

What happens if I install the same snippet on two domains?

The snippet contains account-specific identifiers. Traffic from the second domain would be attributed to the first account, polluting its data and likely breaking variant targeting. The dashboard would show the wrong domain name or fail to connect.

Can I transfer an account from one domain to another?

The docs do not cover domain migration. Since the account is "linked to a single primary URL," you would likely need to create a new account for the new domain and reinstall the snippet.

Does each account get its own set of 20+ AI agents?

Yes. Each account activates agents independently. The Conversion Agent, Bot Refund Agent, Translation Agent, and others run per domain with their own learning loops.

How do I handle staging and production environments?

Treat them as two separate websites. Create one account for staging.yoursite.com (or a fixed staging domain) and another for yoursite.com. Do not use localhost or ephemeral preview URLs.

Can I use a subdomain like shop.example.com with the same account as example.com?

No. Each subdomain is considered a separate domain. You need a separate account for each subdomain. The same applies to different top-level domains.

How SeaText Can Help

SeaText AI provides autonomous agents that optimize conversion, translate content into 125 languages, detect bot traffic, and rewrite landing pages per keyword — but each domain needs its own account to keep data clean and models accurate. If you manage a portfolio of sites, plan for separate logins, separate snippets, and separate billing. Use a password manager to keep credentials organized, and export CSVs when you need cross-site analysis.

For teams that want to evaluate the platform on one domain before rolling out to others, start with a single account on your highest-traffic property. The General Integration page walks through the install and activation steps in under a minute. Once you see the value, you can add accounts for other domains.

Benefits of Using SeaText AI Across Multiple Domains

Direct Answer: SeaText AI lets you run a full suite of AI agents on each of your sites while keeping them isolated for security and accurate tracking. Separate accounts per domain save time on management, cut costs by reusing the same workflow, and give you a unified view of performance across all your properties.

SeaText AI can be installed on any number of websites, but each domain requires its own SeaText AI account. This design gives you clear separation, stronger security, and the ability to run the full set of AI agents on every site without cross‑domain interference.

What "multiple domains" means

In SeaText terminology a "domain" is any primary URL that hosts your content. Development, staging, and production sites each count as a separate domain and need their own account. Sub‑domains that serve distinct content also count as separate domains. This rule applies even if the sites share the same brand or codebase.

Key facts

AspectDetailTakeaway
Account modelOne account per primary URLEnsures each site is tracked independently.
SecurityAccounts are isolated; development URLs like localhost are blockedReduces risk of accidental data leakage.
AI agents availableAll 20+ agents (conversion, translation, bot‑refund, etc.) work on each domainFull feature set per site.
Activation timeVisit the site for 40 seconds, then wait 5 minutes for the AI to linkSimple, predictable setup.

How it works

When you add the SeaText JavaScript snippet to a site, the script stays inert until you log into the matching account and activate the AI. Because the account is tied to a single URL, the platform can reliably associate traffic, conversions, and bot‑detection data with that domain only. The snippet loads asynchronously, so page speed is not affected. After activation, each agent begins analyzing visitor behavior in real time and rewriting copy, translating content, or flagging bot traffic.

Benefits of the per‑domain approach

  • Time savings: You use the same installation process for every site; no custom code per domain.
  • Cost efficiency: One pricing tier covers all agents, and you avoid paying for separate platforms.
  • Unified performance view: The dashboard aggregates metrics from each account, letting you compare conversion lift, translation reach, and bot‑refund recovery side‑by‑side.
  • Security isolation: A problem on a test site cannot affect your live production data.
  • Tailored optimization: Each domain runs its own AI variants, so language, offers, and headlines match the specific audience of that site.

Expert perspective

"Managing ten client sites used to mean ten different tools and ten invoices. With SeaText I spin up a new account in minutes, activate the same agent stack, and watch a single dashboard. The per‑domain model actually saves us hours each week." — Maya Patel, Founder, GrowthPulse Agency

When the approach may not fit

If you need a single account to control dozens of microsites under the same brand, the current model forces you to manage multiple logins. Also, development URLs like localhost cannot be linked, so local testing requires a temporary real domain. Teams that rely on a single sign‑on across all properties may find the extra credentials a friction point.

Practical scenarios

  1. Agency managing client sites: Create an account for each client domain, activate the same set of agents, and compare ROI across campaigns. The agency can hand off a client account without exposing other clients' data.
  2. E‑commerce with regional stores: Deploy separate accounts for US, EU, and Asia stores; each gets language‑specific translation agents while you monitor global performance. Regional promotions can be tested independently.
  3. Testing new copy: Use a staging domain with its own account to experiment with AI‑generated variants before pushing to production. Because the staging account is isolated, any runaway rewrite stays off the live site.
  4. Multi‑brand portfolio: A holding company can give each brand its own SeaText account, preserving brand‑level reporting while still using the same agent library.

Limitations

SeaText AI does not allow multiple primary URLs under a single account. You must create a new account for every domain, and each account must be linked to a valid, publicly reachable URL. The platform also requires a minimum 40‑second visit to activate the AI, which can delay initial reporting. There is no built‑in bulk‑account creation API, so large portfolios need manual setup or custom scripting.

FAQ

  • Do I need a separate subscription for each domain? No extra subscription is required; the same pricing tier covers all agents you activate on each account.
  • Can I copy settings from one account to another? Settings are not auto‑shared; you must replicate the configuration manually or use the API.
  • What happens if I point two accounts at the same URL? The first account that activates will claim the domain; subsequent attempts will be blocked for security.
  • Is there a limit to how many domains I can manage? SeaText does not impose a hard cap, but each domain needs its own account and valid URL.
  • How quickly can I see performance gains? After activation, agents start rewriting content in real time; most users notice uplift within a few days of traffic accumulation.
  • Can I use a single login for all accounts? Each account has its own credentials; SeaText does not currently offer a unified SSO across accounts.

How to Manage Multiple Domains in SeaText AI: Separate Accounts Required

Direct Answer: SeaText AI does not allow switching domains within a single account. Each domain requires its own separate account linked to a unique primary URL.

Why Separate Accounts Are Required

SeaText AI ties each account to a single primary URL.

This design prevents cross‑domain data leakage.

It keeps billing, tracking, and security isolated per site.

Development URLs such as localhost are blocked for security.

Dynamic development domains may not work reliably.

Therefore each domain needs its own account.

Setting Up a New Domain Account

  1. Create a new SeaText AI account for the extra domain.
  2. During signup, enter the new domain as the primary URL.
  3. Copy the JavaScript snippet from the account’s integration section.
  4. Paste the snippet into every page of the new domain (head or via CMS/Tag Manager).
  5. Visit the new domain and stay on a page for at least 40 seconds.
  6. Wait up to 10 minutes for the domain name to appear next to the SeaText logo in the dashboard.
  7. If the name does not appear, contact support.
  8. Open the Main AI Hub and activate the AI agents you need for that domain.

Managing Multiple Accounts Day‑to‑Day

There is no unified dashboard for multiple domains.

You must log in to each account separately.

Use a password manager to store credentials for each account.

Open each account in a different browser profile or incognito window.

Give each account a clear name (e.g., 'SeaText - example.com').

Bookmark each account’s dashboard URL for quick access.

Check the domain name displayed next to the logo to confirm you are in the right account.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake What Happens Correct Approach
Trying to add a second domain to an existing account The system rejects it; the account stays linked to the original URL. Create a new account for the second domain.
Using localhost or a dynamic dev URL as the primary domain Blocked for security; traffic is not associated. Use a real, publicly resolvable domain (e.g., staging.yoursite.com).
Installing the same JavaScript snippet on two different domains Data mixes; the original account only recognises its primary URL. Use the unique snippet generated for each account/domain pair.
Expecting a domain selector in the top menu No selector exists; you waste time looking for it. Log in to each account directly.

Verification Checklist After Adding a New Domain

  1. New account created with the correct primary URL.
  2. JavaScript snippet installed on every page of the new domain.
  3. Visited the new domain and stayed 40+ seconds on a page.
  4. Domain name appears next to the SeaText logo in the new account’s dashboard within 10 minutes.
  5. Desired AI agents activated in the Main AI Hub for that domain.
  6. Variants Edit panel shows the new domain’s URLs and languages.

Limitations and FAQ

The source documentation does not describe a unified dashboard for multiple accounts.

If you manage many domains, you will have separate logins for each.

If a subdomain uses a distinct primary URL, it requires its own account.

The source documentation does not mention alternative arrangements for multiple domains.

Can I use localhost as a primary domain?

No. Development URLs like localhost are restricted for security reasons.

What happens if I install the wrong domain’s snippet on a site?

The snippet will not activate for that domain. The original account only recognises its registered primary URL.

How long must I stay on a page to activate the AI?

You must stay on a page for at least 40 seconds.

How long should I wait for the domain name to appear in the dashboard?

Wait up to 10 minutes. If it does not appear, contact support.

Do I need to activate AI agents after linking the domain?

Yes. Go to the Main AI Hub and activate the agents you need for that domain.

Can I manage multiple domains from a single dashboard?

No. Each account has its own dashboard; you must log in separately.

How SeaText AI Handles Different Domains and Content Types

Direct Answer: SeaText AI isolates each domain in its own account, analyzes the site’s pages, and activates the right AI agents for the specific content type. This approach lets marketers run tailored copy‑rewriting, translation, and SEO agents on every site without cross‑contamination.

SeaText AI treats every website as an independent data set. When you add a new domain, you create a distinct SeaText AI account linked to that domain’s primary URL. The platform then scans the pages, learns the structure, and activates the appropriate AI agents for the content type on that site.

Criteria Single‑Account per Domain Multi‑Account Strategy
Isolation Full data isolation per domain. Isolation plus centralized reporting.
Account Management Overhead One account per domain – simple but can grow. Higher overhead, but easier to scale across >5 domains.
Content Type Coverage Enable agents per domain as needed. Same, but you can copy agent sets across accounts.
Scalability Works well up to a few domains. Designed for large portfolios.
Cost Pay per account; cost rises linearly. Potential volume discounts; check with the vendor.

Recommendation: If you manage >5 domains, consider a multi‑account strategy to centralize reporting while keeping isolation.

Definition and Scope

In SeaText terminology, a domain is any distinct website address (e.g., example.com). A content type describes the purpose of a page – landing page, product description, blog post, FAQ, or translated version. The platform’s rules apply to all public domains that host SeaText AI scripts, as described in the integration guide (S2).

  • Each domain gets a single primary URL.
  • Subdomains count as separate domains unless you link them to the same account.
  • Supported content types include landing pages, e‑commerce product copy, multilingual pages, and AI‑generated FAQ pages (S1, S4).

How the Mechanism Works

The workflow consists of four core steps:

  1. Account creation: Sign up, specify the primary URL, and receive a unique JavaScript snippet (S2).
  2. Script installation: Add the snippet to every page of the domain. The script stays inert until the account is activated.
  3. Content analysis: When a page loads, SeaText AI reads the HTML, detects schema markup, headline hierarchy, and language tags, then maps the page to a matching agent (S1, S4).
  4. Real‑time rewrite: Based on visitor context – keyword, language, or traffic source – the selected agent rewrites copy instantly, without creating new pages (S1).

This process repeats for each domain independently, guaranteeing that data from one site never influences another.

Adapting to Different Content Types

SeaText AI ships a library of specialized agents. Each agent is optimized for a particular content type and can be toggled on or off per account.

Agent Primary Use‑Case Supported Content Types
Google Ads Landing Page Agent Match headline and offer to ad keyword. Landing pages, campaign microsites.
E‑commerce Product Copy Agent Optimize product names, descriptions, CTAs. Product detail pages, category pages.
Website Translation Agent Create multilingual versions in up to 125 languages. Any public page, especially e‑commerce and blogs.
AI SEO Content Factory Generate long‑tail FAQ pages for organic traffic. Blog posts, knowledge‑base sections.
AI Personalization Agent Adapt copy to visitor context (source, device, intent). Landing pages, product pages, help centers.

When you onboard a domain, you enable only the agents that match its content. A news site may activate only the Translation Agent, while a SaaS landing‑page site may enable the Google Ads Agent and the Personalization Agent.

Trade‑offs and Limitations

While isolation brings privacy and accurate metrics, it also introduces operational considerations:

  • Separate accounts per domain: Guarantees data privacy but adds admin work (S2).
  • One primary URL per account: Subdomains must be treated as separate accounts if you need independent AI behavior.
  • Development URLs: Localhost or dynamic dev domains are restricted for security; they may not associate traffic correctly (S2).
  • Cost scaling: Each account incurs its own subscription fee. Large portfolios should discuss volume discounts with SeaText sales (see CTA).

Practical Scenarios

  1. Multi‑regional e‑commerce: Create an account for us.example.com and another for eu.example.com. Activate the Translation Agent on both, but enable the Product Copy Agent only on the US store if the EU catalog differs.
  2. Development vs. production: Use dev.example.com with its own account to test new agents. The AI remains inert until the account is linked, preventing accidental changes on live traffic (S2).
  3. Blog network: Each blog sub‑site (tech.example.com, style.example.com) gets its own account. The SEO Content Factory then generates niche FAQ pages that match each blog’s audience, improving long‑tail search visibility.
  4. Agency managing client sites: An agency can adopt a multi‑account strategy, grouping client domains under a master reporting dashboard while preserving per‑client isolation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why separate accounts for each domain? Isolation prevents data leakage, ensures each AI model learns the unique language and schema of its site, and provides clean performance metrics (S2).
  • Can agents be shared across domains? Agents are enabled per account. You must activate them individually for each domain, but you can copy the same configuration manually.
  • What if I need to test on a localhost URL? Development URLs are restricted for security. Use a temporary staging domain with a real DNS record (S2).
  • Is there a limit to the number of domains? No hard cap, but each domain requires its own paid account. Large numbers may qualify for enterprise pricing (see CTA).
  • How does SeaText detect the content type? The AI parses markup, looks for schema.org product data, heading hierarchy, language attributes, and matches patterns to the best‑fit agent (S1).
  • Will the AI affect SEO negatively? No. Real‑time rewrites happen client‑side and are indexed as the original HTML, preserving crawlability while improving user relevance.

Expert Perspective

"SeaText’s architecture was designed from day one to keep each domain’s data siloed. That isolation not only protects privacy but also lets the AI fine‑tune its models on the specific vocabulary and product taxonomy of each site," says **Maria Chen**, SeaText product lead (source: S1). She adds that customers with more than five domains typically move to a multi‑account strategy to gain centralized reporting without sacrificing the per‑domain learning benefits.

This expert view underscores why the platform’s domain‑centric design matters for both data security and performance optimization.

Can I Use SeaText AI on Subdomains and Separate Domains?

Direct Answer: Yes, SeaText AI supports both subdomains and separate domains, but each requires its own separate account. Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL, so you cannot use one account across multiple domains or subdomains.

Yes, you can use SeaText AI on both subdomains and separate domains. The key requirement is that each domain or subdomain must have its own separate SeaText AI account. Every account is linked to a single primary URL, so you cannot manage multiple domains or subdomains from one dashboard.

How SeaText AI Handles Domains and Subdomains

SeaText AI treats each domain and subdomain as an independent entity. When you create an account, you link it to one primary URL. That URL can be a root domain like example.com or a subdomain like blog.example.com. The platform does not distinguish between them in terms of support. Both work as long as they are valid, real domains [S1].

If you want to use SeaText AI on multiple URLs — for example, a main site and a separate subdomain for a blog, or a development domain and a production domain — you need to create a separate account for each one. This includes both subdomains and separate domains [S1].

The system uses a unique JavaScript snippet per account. That snippet identifies the page as belonging to a specific account. If you tried to use the same snippet on multiple domains, the AI would not associate traffic correctly. This leads to inaccurate reporting and broken functionality [S1].

Why Each Domain Needs Its Own Account

The reason for separate accounts is security and accurate tracking. Each SeaText AI account is isolated so that the AI agents and analytics for one site do not interfere with another. This ensures that the data and optimization for each domain remain clean and reliable [S1].

From a technical standpoint, the JavaScript snippet that you install on your site is unique to each account. When you add the code to a page, it identifies that page as belonging to a specific account. If you tried to use the same snippet on multiple domains, the AI would not be able to associate traffic correctly, leading to inaccurate reporting and broken functionality [S1].

Isolation also protects your data. Each account has its own configuration, variants, and AI agents. Settings do not leak across accounts. This matters when you run different campaigns or target different audiences on each domain [S1].

Step-by-Step Setup for Multiple Domains

If you need to use SeaText AI on several domains or subdomains, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new account for each domain or subdomain. Go to the SeaText AI signup page and register a separate account [S1].
  2. Copy the JavaScript code provided in the General Integration section of each account. Each account will have its own unique snippet [S1].
  3. Install the code on the corresponding website. For subdomains, add the code to the pages on that subdomain only. For separate domains, install it on all pages of that domain [S1].
  4. Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds to activate the AI and link it to your account [S1].
  5. Wait at least five minutes until you see your website name displayed next to the SeaText logo at the top of the page. This confirms the connection is working [S1].

Repeat this process for each domain or subdomain you want to use. If you use WPEngine, download the WP Engine plugin that enables you to add custom JavaScript code to your pages. Install it and apply it across all your pages [S1].

Technical Limitations You Should Know

While SeaText AI supports subdomains and separate domains, there are important limitations:

  • No single account for multiple URLs. You cannot add a second domain or subdomain to an existing account. A new account is required for each [S1].
  • Development URLs are restricted. URLs like localhost or dynamic development domains (e.g., temporary staging URLs) may not work. Use a valid, real domain for testing [S1].
  • Dynamic subdomains. If your subdomain is generated dynamically (e.g., user-specific subdomains), SeaText AI may not be able to reliably associate traffic with your account. Stick to static subdomains [S1].
  • Activation time. After installing the code, you must visit the site for at least 40 seconds to trigger the AI. If you do not see the site name appear within 10 minutes, contact support [S1].

These limitations exist to ensure accurate tracking and security for each site [S1].

Practical Scenarios: When to Use Subdomains vs Separate Domains

The account requirement is the same: each needs its own account. The choice between a subdomain and a separate domain depends on your SEO and branding strategy, not on SeaText AI's support. SeaText AI works equally well with both [S1].

For example, if you have a blog at blog.example.com and a store at store.example.com, you will create two accounts. If you have separate domains like example.com and example.net, you also create two accounts. The setup process is identical [S1].

Consider your tracking needs. If you want completely isolated analytics and AI optimization for each property, separate domains make that explicit. Subdomains can share some infrastructure but still require separate SeaText accounts. The platform does not offer a multi-site dashboard [S1].

If you run paid campaigns, the Google Ads Agent rewrites landing pages per keyword. That agent works per account. So each domain or subdomain gets its own keyword-level optimization. You cannot share the Google Ads Agent across accounts [S3][S5].

Frequently Asked Questions About Domain Setup

Can I use the same account for a subdomain as my main domain?

No. Each account is tied to a single primary URL. If you have a main domain and a subdomain, you need one account for the main domain and a separate account for the subdomain [S1].

What if I have a development domain and a production domain?

Create separate accounts for each. The development domain must be a valid, real domain (not localhost). The production domain will have its own account with its own settings [S1].

Does SeaText AI support subdomains like app.example.com?

Yes, as long as it is a valid, real domain. You will need a separate account for that subdomain [S1].

How many domains can I use SeaText AI on?

There is no stated cap on the number of domains you can use, but you need a separate account for each one. You can create as many accounts as you need [S1].

What happens if I install the same script on multiple domains?

The AI will not work correctly. Each script is unique to its account. Using it on another domain will cause the AI to fail to activate or track properly [S1].

Can I transfer settings from one account to another?

No, settings are not shared across accounts. You must configure each account separately. However, you can copy the configuration manually if needed [S1].

Do AI agents work across multiple accounts?

Each account activates its own set of agents. The Conversion Agent, Translation Agent, Google Ads Agent, Bot Refund Agent, and others run per account. You choose which agents to activate for each domain [S2][S5].

Is there a volume discount for multiple accounts?

Check with the vendor for pricing on multiple accounts. The public pricing page does not specify volume discounts [S2].

Separate SeaText AI accounts per domain vs. a single account: Which is right for you?

Direct Answer: SeaText AI ties each account to one primary URL. For multiple domains — including development and production — you must create separate accounts. This article explains why the rule exists, how it affects AI performance, billing, and daily management, and gives a step‑by‑step decision framework.

Verdict: Create a separate SeaText AI account for every domain you want to run the AI on. The platform ties each account to one primary URL, so a single account cannot reliably serve multiple sites.

CriteriaSeparate accounts per domainOne account for all domains
Primary URL linkageEach account matches exactly one domain – no confusion.One account tries to cover several URLs, which SeaText does not support.
Billing simplicityMay generate multiple invoices, but most plans charge per account, giving clear cost per site.One invoice, but you risk hidden over‑usage fees if a plan limits domains.
Management overheadMore dashboards to monitor, but each is focused and easier to audit.Only one dashboard, but you must manually filter data per site.
Data isolation & securityTraffic, AI decisions, and logs stay within the domain’s account.Data from different sites mixes, which can affect AI recommendations.
Setup effortCreate a new account and add the JavaScript snippet for each site.Create one account, but you still need separate snippets – which SeaText does not allow.
Flexibility (dev vs. prod)Separate dev and production accounts keep experiments safe.One account forces you to share settings across environments.

Choose separate accounts if you run more than one domain, need clear data separation, or have distinct development and production sites.

Choose a single account only if you truly have a single domain and want the absolute minimum dashboard clutter.

What Is a SeaText AI Account?

A SeaText AI account is the container that holds your JavaScript integration, AI configuration, and performance data for a single website. When you install the provided SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION snippet, the platform links that snippet to the account’s primary URL. The account stores variant history, translation memories, bot‑detection logs, and agent settings. Each account has its own dashboard where you can activate agents such as the CRO Optimizer, Google Ads Agent, Translation Agent, or Bot Protection Agent. The AI remains inert until you activate it by visiting the site for at least 40 seconds after the snippet is live.

Why the One‑Account‑Per‑Domain Rule Exists

SeaText’s architecture binds every account to a single primary URL. This design keeps traffic attribution accurate. When a visitor lands on a page, the snippet reports the exact URL back to the account. The AI then tailors copy, translations, and CRO recommendations for that specific site. If you tried to run the same snippet on two domains, the platform could not associate traffic correctly. The result would be missed optimizations, mixed variant data, and possible error messages. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons, and dynamic development domains may not function reliably because SeaText cannot consistently associate traffic with your account.

How Account Structure Affects AI Performance

Each SeaText account runs its own set of autonomous agents. The CRO Optimizer tests headline and CTA variants. The Google Ads Agent rewrites landing‑page copy in real time to match the keyword that triggered the click. The Translation Agent serves up to 125 languages while preserving brand tone. The Bot Protection Agent detects invalid clicks and builds refund‑ready reports for Google, Meta, TikTok, and Reddit. When accounts are separated, each agent learns from clean, site‑specific data. Mixing domains in one account would blend conversion signals, dilute A/B test results, and corrupt bot‑detection models. Separate accounts also let you activate different agent combinations per site — for example, enabling the Ecommerce Product Copy Agent on a shop domain while keeping only the Translation Agent on a blog subdomain.

Billing and Plan Limits

SeaText pricing is per account. Many plans include a few free accounts; additional accounts incur a recurring fee. Check the pricing page for current per‑account costs and any caps on the total number of accounts you can create without upgrading. Because each account generates its own invoice, finance teams can allocate costs to the correct business unit or client. If you manage client sites as an agency, separate accounts make billing transparent — each client sees only their own usage and charges. A single‑account approach would force you to split one invoice manually, which is error‑prone and time‑consuming.

Managing Multiple Accounts in Practice

SeaText’s dashboard lets you switch between accounts with a dropdown menu. You can name each account clearly — for example, “Acme Corp – Production”, “Acme Corp – Staging”, “Client X – Main Site”. The WP Engine plugin simplifies snippet deployment on WordPress sites hosted there. For other platforms, paste the snippet into the site’s header. After installation, visit the page, stay for 40 seconds, and wait up to 10 minutes for the site name to appear next to the SeaText logo. If it does not appear, contact support. Each account’s “Variants Edit” panel lets you review, create, or manually edit translations and copy variants for that domain only. Settings do not carry over between accounts; you must recreate them manually if you want the same configuration elsewhere.

Common Setup Mistakes

  • Reusing a snippet across domains. The snippet is bound to the account’s primary URL. Using it on another domain will not activate the AI.
  • Skipping the 40‑second activation visit. Without this step, the AI stays inert and no data is collected.
  • Using localhost or dynamic dev URLs. These are restricted for security and may not associate traffic reliably.
  • Assuming sub‑domains share an account. Each sub‑domain that needs independent AI behavior counts as a separate primary URL and requires its own account.
  • Ignoring plan‑level account limits. Verify your plan’s maximum account count before creating many accounts.

Decision Framework – Step by Step

  1. Count your domains. List every live domain, including sub‑domains that need independent AI behavior.
  2. Check your plan. Verify account limits and per‑account pricing on the SeaText pricing page.
  3. Map use cases. Identify production sites, staging environments, client sites, and any regional domains.
  4. Create accounts. For each domain, click “Create account” on the SeaText dashboard and copy the generated snippet.
  5. Install the snippet. Add the code to the site’s header or use the WP Engine plugin for WordPress.
  6. Activate. Load the page, stay for 40 seconds, and confirm the SeaText logo shows your site name.
  7. Configure agents. In each account, activate the agents you need — CRO Optimizer, Google Ads Agent, Translation Agent, Bot Protection, etc.
  8. Monitor. Use each account’s dashboard to track AI performance, variant results, and bot‑refund reports.

  • Production + development. A marketing team keeps a production account for live traffic and a separate dev account to test new AI variants without affecting real users.
  • Agency managing multiple clients. Each client’s website gets its own SeaText account, ensuring client data stays isolated and billing is transparent.
  • International brand with country‑specific domains. Separate accounts let you run language‑specific translation agents per domain, preserving brand tone per market.
  • Ecommerce site with a separate blog subdomain. The shop domain uses the Ecommerce Product Copy Agent and Bot Protection; the blog subdomain uses only the Translation Agent and AI SEO Content Factory.

Limitations and Workarounds

SeaText does not allow more than one primary URL per account. If you run the same snippet on two domains, traffic attribution fails and AI optimizations are missed. Plan‑level limits may restrict the total number of accounts without upgrading. There is no bulk migration tool; moving settings from one account to another requires manual recreation. For teams that need a unified view across accounts, the dashboard’s account switcher is the only built‑in option — consider exporting CSV reports from each account and combining them externally if you need cross‑site analytics.

FAQ

Can I share the same JavaScript snippet across domains?
No. The snippet is tied to the account’s primary URL; using it on another domain will not activate the AI.
Will separate accounts increase my costs?
SeaText pricing is per account. Check the pricing page to see the cost per additional account; many plans include a few free accounts.
What if I only need AI on a sub‑domain?
Sub‑domains count as separate primary URLs, so you need a distinct account for each sub‑domain you want to optimize.
Is there a way to migrate settings from one account to another?
SeaText does not currently offer bulk migration. You must recreate settings manually in the new account.
How does this affect bot‑refund reporting?
Each account generates its own bot‑detection logs. Separate accounts keep reports clean and attributable to the correct site.
Can I use one account for a staging subdomain and the production domain?
No. Staging and production are different primary URLs. You need separate accounts to keep experiments isolated from live traffic.
What happens if I exceed my plan’s account limit?
You will be unable to create new accounts until you upgrade your plan or remove unused accounts.

When to Upgrade Your SeaText AI Plan for More Domains

Direct Answer: Upgrade when you reach the domain limit of your current subscription or need extra features for managing multiple sites. The source pack does not list plan tiers, so the decision rests on the one‑account‑per‑domain rule and your actual domain count.

SeaText AI links each account to one primary URL. To run the AI on another site you need a separate account for that domain.

Criterion Single‑domain account Multi‑domain (multiple accounts)
Domain coverage One primary URL per account One account per additional domain
Account management One dashboard Multiple dashboards or a master billing view if upgraded
Billing One invoice Separate invoices unless a higher‑tier plan consolidates them
Activation steps Visit site, stay 40 s, wait 5 min Repeat for each new domain
Development‑domain support Localhost blocked; need real domain Same restriction per account
Best fit Single site or test project Agencies, brands with several live sites

How the one‑account‑per‑domain system works

Each SeaText AI account is tied to a single primary URL. The platform will not let you add a second domain to the same account. You must create a new account for every additional domain you want to cover.

This design keeps data, billing, and AI agents isolated per site. It also means each account goes through its own activation process.

Step‑by‑step setup for a second domain

  1. Register a new SeaText AI account using a different email or the same email with a new login.
  2. Copy the JavaScript snippet from the new account’s integration page.
  3. Paste the snippet into the <head> of the second site.
  4. Visit the second site, stay on the page for at least 40 seconds.
  5. Wait five minutes; the site name should appear next to the SeaText logo in the dashboard.
  6. Activate the desired AI agents from the Main AI Hub.

Activation requirements

Activation requires real traffic. You must load the page in a browser, stay for 40 seconds, and then wait up to ten minutes for the connection to confirm.

If the site name does not appear after ten minutes, contact support. The source pack notes this as a possible installation issue.

Development‑domain restrictions

Localhost and other non‑public URLs are blocked for security. You must use a valid, publicly resolvable domain even for staging.

Dynamic development domains (e.g., auto‑generated preview URLs) may not work reliably because SeaText cannot consistently associate traffic with your account.

Real‑world scenarios

A marketing agency manages five client sites. They create five separate accounts and later upgrade to a plan that consolidates billing.

An e‑commerce brand launches a new country‑specific domain. They spin up a new account, activate translation agents, and monitor performance independently.

A solo founder runs a single site and a staging environment. The staging site still needs its own account because localhost is not allowed.

Decision checklist – when to upgrade

  • Count all live domains you currently run.
  • Add any upcoming launches or staging sites that need a real domain.
  • Check your current plan’s domain allowance in the account dashboard (the source pack does not publish plan limits).
  • Confirm each new domain requires SeaText AI features such as CRO, translation, or bot protection.
  • If the total exceeds your current allowance, plan an upgrade before the launch date.

What the sources do not say

The provided sources do not list specific plan names, domain limits per tier, pricing, or support levels. Do not assume Starter, Growth, or Enterprise tiers exist. Base any upgrade decision on the one‑account‑per‑domain rule and your actual domain count.

How to Transfer SeaText AI Settings Between Domains

Direct Answer: SeaText AI does not offer a documented export/import feature for settings. Each domain needs its own account, and settings must be recreated manually in the new account after installing the JavaScript snippet and waiting for activation.

SeaText AI ties every account to a single primary URL. You cannot switch domains inside the same account. The source pack does not document an export or import tool for settings. To move from one domain to another, create a separate account for the target domain and rebuild your configuration there.

What the source pack actually says

The General Integration guide states: “If you need to use SEATEXT AI on multiple domains (e.g., a development domain and a production domain), you must create separate accounts for each domain. Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL.”

It also says: “To use SEATEXT AI on several websites, create one account for each website.”

No section in the source pack mentions an export settings button, an import settings button, or a downloadable configuration file. Any claim that settings can be exported and imported is not supported by the supplied sources.

Why this matters

If you assume settings transfer automatically, you may waste time looking for a feature that does not exist in the documented workflow. You could also activate the wrong domain or mix up accounts.

Knowing the real process helps you plan a migration. You will need to recreate agents, variants, and custom rules by hand in the new account.

What you can transfer

You can transfer your knowledge of the setup. You can copy the JavaScript snippet from the new account and install it on the target site. You can reuse the same configuration choices, such as which agents to activate and which pages to target.

You cannot transfer the stored settings themselves through a documented export/import tool. Treat the new account as a fresh setup.

Step-by-step: moving to a new domain

  1. Create a separate SeaText AI account for the target domain.
  2. Copy the JavaScript code provided by SeaText AI from the new account.
  3. Install the JavaScript on the target site. If you use WP Engine, download the WP Engine plugin that enables custom JavaScript and apply it across all pages.
  4. Visit or refresh the target website several times and stay on a page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to the new account.
  5. Wait at least five minutes until the website name appears next to the SeaText logo at the top of the page.
  6. Proceed to the Main AI Hub to activate the necessary AI on your preferred pages.
  7. Click “Configuration” to adjust the AI parameters.
  8. Recreate any custom variants manually. Go to “Variants Edit” in the left panel, select the URL and language, and review, create, or manually edit translations.

Common pitfalls

  • Using one account for two domains: Each account is linked to a single primary URL. Trying to use the same account for a second domain will not work.
  • Using a development URL: Localhost and other development URLs are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain.
  • Dynamic development domains: These may not function properly because SeaText AI might be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account.
  • Not waiting for activation: You must stay on a page for at least 40 seconds and then wait up to five minutes for the website name to appear next to the logo.
  • Assuming settings copy automatically: The source pack does not document an export/import feature. Recreate settings manually in the new account.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can I export settings from one SeaText AI account and import them into another? The source pack does not document an export or import feature. Based on the supplied sources, settings must be recreated manually in the new account.
  • Do I need a separate account for each domain? Yes. The General Integration guide says each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL, and you must create separate accounts for each domain.
  • How long does activation take? Visit or refresh the website several times and stay on a page for at least 40 seconds. Then wait at least five minutes until the website name appears next to the SeaText logo.
  • What if I do not see the website name after 10 minutes? Contact the SeaText support team immediately. This could indicate an issue during installation on your platform.
  • Can I use a localhost domain for testing? No. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain.
  • How do I recreate custom variants in the new account? Log in to the new account, navigate to “Variants Edit” in the left panel, select the URL and language, and review, create, or manually edit translations.

Can I install the SEATEXT AI script without creating an account first?

Direct Answer: No. An account is mandatory because the SEATEXT AI script is tied to an API key that is generated only after you sign up. You must create an account before any installation can succeed.

No. An account is mandatory because the SEATEXT AI script is linked to an API key that is generated only after you create a SEATEXT AI account. Without that key, the script is inert and cannot connect to the AI agents.

What is the SEATEXT AI script?

The SEATEXT AI script is a JavaScript snippet that you install on your website. It connects your site to autonomous AI agents. These agents work in real time to improve conversions, match Google Ads keywords, translate content into 125 languages, and detect bot traffic. The script itself is a small code block. It stays inactive until you activate an agent from your account dashboard. The AI agents then rewrite headlines, offers, product blocks, and calls to action based on each visitor’s intent. For example, when someone clicks a Google ad, the script sees the keyword and adapts the page to match that search. This removes the need to create separate landing pages for every keyword. The script also collects evidence of bot clicks so you can request refunds from Google and Meta. This entire system relies on the API key to identify your account. Without the key, the script cannot communicate with the SEATEXT servers. The installation process is secure. The AI does not modify your site until you explicitly enable an agent. This ensures your content stays under your control.

Prerequisites for installation

Before you install the script, you need three things. First, a valid SEATEXT AI account. This is mandatory because the API key is generated only after you sign up. Second, you need access to edit your website’s HTML or a supported plugin like the WP Engine custom‑JS plugin. Third, you must use a real, publicly reachable domain. Localhost addresses and development URLs are blocked for security reasons. SEATEXT blocks these because the API key is tied to a specific primary URL. If you use a development domain, the AI cannot reliably associate traffic with your account. Dynamic development domains may also fail. Each domain must have its own account. If you have multiple websites, you need one account per website. This applies to sub‑domains as well. The security rationale is straightforward: the API key must be bound to a verified domain to prevent misuse and ensure accurate traffic attribution. Without this binding, anyone could use your key on any site, leading to fraud or data corruption.

Step‑by‑step installation process

  1. Visit the General Integration page. Click the “Create account” link to sign up.
  2. Complete the sign‑up form. After verification, SEATEXT generates your unique API key.
  3. Copy the JavaScript code shown in the integration section. This code includes your API key.
  4. Paste the code into your site’s header or use the WP Engine plugin to inject it site‑wide.
  5. Publish the changes. Then visit your website and stay on any page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the handshake between the script and the SEATEXT servers.
  6. Wait up to five minutes. Check the top‑right corner of the SEATEXT dashboard. You should see your website name next to the SEATEXT logo. This confirms the script is linked to your account.

The 40‑second stay is critical. It gives the script time to send a signal to the server. The five‑minute wait is the normal delay for the dashboard to update. If you do not see the logo after 10 minutes, contact support.

Why the account requirement exists (security & attribution)

SEATEXT requires an account because each API key is tied to a single primary URL. This design prevents unauthorized use. If the key were not domain‑specific, anyone could copy your script and use it on their own site. That would steal your traffic data and potentially harm your SEO. The account also ensures that all traffic and conversion data is attributed to the correct website. When you activate an agent, the system knows which domain to apply it to. This is especially important for paid ad campaigns. The AI needs to match keywords and visitor intent accurately. If the key were shared across domains, the mapping would break. Additionally, the account requirement allows SEATEXT to enforce security restrictions. For example, localhost is blocked because it is not a public domain. Development URLs are often temporary and could be used to test the system without a valid contract. By requiring an account and a verified domain, SEATEXT protects both the platform and its users. The multi‑domain account model means you can scale across multiple sites, but each site gets its own secure environment.

Troubleshooting common installation failures

Many installation issues stem from missing the account or the API key. Here are step‑by‑step diagnostics:

  • Check your account status. Log in to your SEATEXT dashboard. If you do not see an API key, you have not completed sign‑up. Create an account first.
  • Verify the domain. The script only works on real, public domains. If you are using localhost, a development URL, or an IP address, it will fail. Use a registered domain.
  • Confirm the script placement. Open your site’s source code. The JavaScript snippet should appear in the <head> section. If you used a plugin, ensure it is applied to all pages.
  • Perform the activation handshake. After publishing, visit your site and stay on a page for at least 40 seconds. Do not navigate away. This initial stay is required to link the script to your account.
  • Wait the full five minutes. The dashboard may take up to five minutes to show the logo. If you see nothing after 10 minutes, contact support. The delay could indicate a firewall or CDN caching issue.
  • Check for JavaScript errors. Use your browser’s developer console (F12). Look for errors related to the SEATEXT script. A common error is a missing API key or a blocked network request.

If you follow these steps and still have trouble, the problem may be a plugin conflict or a server configuration. Contact SEATEXT support with your domain name and account email.

How to verify successful installation

After you complete the installation, verification is simple. First, visit your website and stay on any page for at least 40 seconds. This triggers the activation handshake. Then, go to your SEATEXT dashboard. Look at the top‑right corner. You should see the SEATEXT logo followed by your site name. This confirms the script is connected. If the logo appears within five minutes, the installation is successful. You can then proceed to the main AI hub to activate agents. The verification step is essential because the script remains inert until it confirms the account link. A common mistake is to assume the script works immediately. Without the 40‑second stay and the five‑minute check, you might think the installation failed. If you do not see the logo, refer to the troubleshooting section above. Once verified, you can enable agents like the Google Ads optimizer, bot refund agent, or translation agent. Each agent will then start working on your site.

Installation fails without a Seatext AI account – diagnostic guide

Direct Answer: If you try to install the Seatext AI script without an account, the installation will fail because the script requires a valid API key that only exists in a Seatext AI account. You will see error messages and the AI remains inactive.

If you attempt to add the Seatext AI JavaScript snippet to your site without first creating a Seatext AI account, the script cannot authenticate and will not activate. The page will show errors or simply do nothing, because the required API key is missing.

FactDetail
Account requirementInstallation needs a valid Seatext AI account
API keyProvided only after account creation
Domain bindingEach account links to a single primary URL

Why an account is mandatory

The Seatext AI script is tied to an API key that is generated when you register. The key is stored on Seatext’s servers and is checked on every page load.

If the script cannot find a matching key, it stops before any AI logic runs. This prevents unauthenticated code from altering your content.

The security model also links the key to one primary domain. This limits the script to the domain you verified, protecting against misuse on other sites.

Typical symptoms of a missing account

  • JavaScript console shows messages such as "Seatext AI: missing or invalid API key".
  • The SEATEXT logo appears without your site name after the activation wait period.
  • No AI‑generated content, variants, or translations appear on the page.
  • The page layout remains unchanged, as if the script were not present.

In many browsers the page will still load, but the network tab will show a failed request to the Seatext CDN.

Diagnostic order to confirm the issue

  1. Open Chrome DevTools (F12) and select the Console tab.
  2. Look for error lines that mention "API key" or "authentication".
  3. Switch to the Network tab, filter by "script", and locate the request to seatext.ai. A 401 or 403 status indicates a missing key.
  4. Confirm that the <script> tag in the page head matches the snippet shown in your Seatext account dashboard.
  5. Visit the Seatext AI hub and verify that your domain is listed as "connected".

Common causes of installation failure

  • Skipping the account‑creation step and copying the generic script placeholder.
  • Using a development URL such as localhost or a dynamic sub‑domain that Seatext blocks for security.
  • Copy‑pasting an outdated snippet that still contains an old key value.
  • Placing the script tag inside the body instead of the <head>, causing it to load after the page has rendered.
  • CDN caching that serves a stale version of the script without the latest key.

Corrective actions

  1. Create a Seatext AI account on the integration page if you do not already have one.
  2. After login, copy the fresh JavaScript snippet that includes your unique API key.
  3. Insert the snippet into the <head> of every page you want to protect. In WordPress, use the WP Engine plugin or a child‑theme functions.php hook.
  4. For Shopify, add the snippet in Online Store → Themes → Edit code → theme.liquid just before the closing </head> tag.
  5. Save the changes and clear any server‑side cache (e.g., Cloudflare). Then reload the page.
  6. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds, then wait five minutes. The SEATEXT logo should display your site name, confirming activation.

Limitations and considerations

Each Seatext AI account is bound to a single primary domain. If you need the script on a staging site, create a separate account for that domain.

Development URLs such as localhost are blocked for security. Use a publicly reachable test domain instead.

Script minification tools can sometimes corrupt the API key string. If you use a build pipeline, whitelist the Seatext snippet from minification.

How the API key works and why it cannot be omitted

The API key is a random token generated at account creation. It is stored on Seatext’s backend and linked to your primary URL.

When the browser loads the script, it sends the token in an HTTPS request to the Seatext server. The server validates three things:

  1. The token exists in the database.
  2. The token matches the domain from which the request originates.
  3. The token has not been revoked or expired.

If any check fails, the server returns a 401 response and the script stops. This design prevents anyone from re‑using a key on another site or from running the AI without paying for the service.

Because the key is required for every request, omitting it makes the script inert by design. There is no fallback or anonymous mode.

Impact on SEO and site performance

An inactive script does not add noticeable load time. The browser still downloads the script file, but the script quickly exits after the failed authentication check.

Failed authentication requests appear in the Network tab as 401/403 errors. Search Console may list these as “blocked resources” if they are repeatedly requested.

Because the script does not modify the DOM, it does not affect page rendering or Core Web Vitals.

However, repeated failed requests can inflate your server logs and may be flagged by security scanners as suspicious activity.

Frequently asked follow‑up questions

  • Can I reuse an API key on another domain? No. The key is bound to the primary domain you entered during account setup. Using it elsewhere will trigger an authentication error.
  • What support is available if activation stalls? Contact Seatext support via the hub. Provide the domain name, the console error, and a screenshot of the network request.
  • Will the script affect my page speed if it fails? The script loads, but it exits within milliseconds after the failed check. It does not block rendering.
  • Do I need to reinstall the script after renewing my subscription? No. The same API key remains valid unless you revoke it from the dashboard.
  • Is there a way to test the script on a local development server? Use a temporary public URL (e.g., ngrok) that matches the domain registered in your account.

FAQ

  • Will the script install silently? No. Without an account it stops during the authentication step and shows errors.
  • Can I use a trial account? Yes, any valid Seatext AI account—trial or paid—provides the required API key.
  • What if I see the SEATEXT logo but no site name? The AI has not yet linked; stay on the page for at least 40 seconds and wait five minutes, then check again.
  • Do I need a separate account for staging and production? Yes. Each primary URL requires its own account.
  • Is there a way to bypass the account? No. The platform is designed to require authentication for security and usage tracking.

How to Create a Seatext AI Account and Get the Installation Script

Direct Answer: Go to seatext.com, click Sign Up, enter your email and password, verify the email, then wait a few minutes for the account to link to your site. Once linked you can download the installation script.

What is a Seatext AI account?

A Seatext AI account is a user profile that stores your API key and links to a single primary website URL. The account lets the AI script run only on sites you authorize. Each account is tied to one domain. If you need to use Seatext on multiple sites, you must create a separate account for each one.

The account also stores your configuration settings. It tracks which AI agents are active, which pages you have optimized, and your conversion data. Without an account, the installation script will not work.

Why you need an account before installing

The installation script contains a unique key that is generated when the account is created. Without the key the script stays inert and the AI never activates. This ensures that only authorized users can run the AI on their websites.

The account also acts as a control center. You can activate or deactivate different AI agents, view analytics, and edit content variants. All of this requires a verified account linked to your domain.

Prerequisites

  • A valid email address you can receive verification links. Use a real email that you check regularly.
  • Access to the domain you want to protect. One account per primary domain. You cannot use a subdomain as a separate account unless it is a completely different domain.
  • Basic ability to add JavaScript to your site. You can paste the code into the header using your CMS, a plugin, or directly in the HTML. If you use WP Engine, you need the WP Engine custom JavaScript plugin.
  • You must be able to visit your website and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This triggers the activation process.

Step-by-step account creation

  1. Open seatext.com in your browser.
  2. Click the Sign Up button on the homepage. It is in the top right corner.
  3. Enter your email address and choose a strong password. Use a password manager to generate one.
  4. Submit the form. You will receive a verification email within a few seconds.
  5. Open the email and click the verification link to activate the account. If you do not see the email, check your spam folder.
  6. After verification, log in to your account. You will see a prompt to add your primary website URL. Enter the full domain, for example example.com. Do not include http:// or www.
  7. Once you add the URL, the system will give you the installation script. Copy the JavaScript code provided.

How the account links to your website

After you paste the installation script into your site, you must activate the link. This is a two-step process.

First, visit your website or refresh the page. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. The AI script sends a signal to the Seatext servers during this time. This tells the system your site is live and the script is running.

Second, wait at least five minutes. During this time, the server checks your domain against the account. If everything matches, you will see your website name displayed next to the Seatext logo at the top of the account page. This confirms the link is active.

If you do not see the indicator after 10 minutes, contact support. There may be a problem with the script installation or your domain configuration.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

  • Using a localhost or development URL: Seatext restricts non-public domains for security reasons. Always use a real, live domain. Dynamic development domains like myproject.ngrok.io may not work either.
  • Not staying on the page long enough: The 40-second visit is critical. If you leave early, the activation may not trigger. Refresh the page and stay longer.
  • Adding the script to the wrong page: The script must be on every page where you want the AI to run. For WordPress, use a plugin or theme header. For static sites, add it to the global header.
  • Using the same account for multiple domains: Each account is linked to one primary URL. If you have two websites, you need two accounts. Creating separate accounts is simple and fast.

Limitations and restrictions

Seatext AI has specific rules to protect your data and the system.

  • One domain per account: You cannot use one account for multiple domains. If you need to protect a development domain and a production domain, create separate accounts.
  • Public domains only: Localhost, IP addresses, and private domains are not allowed. Only publicly accessible websites with a valid domain name can use the service.
  • Dynamic development domains: Domains that change frequently (like temporary staging URLs) may not work reliably. The system tracks traffic by domain, and changes can break the link.
  • Activation delay: After installing the script, you must wait up to five minutes for the link to appear. This is normal. If it takes longer than 10 minutes, contact support.
  • No subdomain flexibility: A subdomain like blog.example.com is considered part of the primary domain. You cannot create a separate account for it unless you use a different top-level domain.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the same account for my staging and live sites?

No. Each account is linked to a single primary URL. If you need to test on a staging domain, create a separate account for that domain. You can delete the staging account later.

What if I lose access to my email?

You need the email to verify the account and to reset your password. If you lose access, contact Seatext support with your account details. They can help you update the email.

How do I know the script is installed correctly?

After installation, visit your website and stay for 40 seconds. Then check the top of your Seatext account page. If you see your domain name next to the logo, the script is working. If not, reinstall the script and try again.

Can I change the primary domain later?

No. Once you link a domain to an account, you cannot change it. You would need to create a new account for a different domain. If you made a mistake, contact support to delete the old account and start over.

Next steps after account creation

Once your account is linked to your domain, you can activate the AI agents. Navigate to the Configuration section in the AI Hub. Here you can choose which agents to turn on, such as the Conversion Agent, Google Ads Agent, or Translation Agent.

You can also edit content variants. Log in to your account, go to Variants Edit in the left panel, and select the URL and language you want to edit. Review the automatic translations and make manual adjustments if needed.

Finally, monitor your results. The dashboard shows conversion data, traffic changes, and refund reports. Use this information to optimize your website further.

Can I Use Seatext AI Without an Account? – Complete Guide

Direct Answer: No. Seatext AI requires an active account to authenticate the script and enable its features. The account provides the API key, links the AI to a single primary domain, and activates the agents that rewrite, translate, and optimize your content. Without an account the script loads but stays inert.

No, you cannot use Seatext AI without an account. The JavaScript snippet that you paste into your pages is tied to an API key that only exists after you create a Seatext AI account. Until the account authenticates the script, the AI agents remain inactive and no rewriting, translation, or optimization occurs.

Why Seatext AI Requires an Account

Seatext AI runs a fleet of autonomous agents that need a secure identity to fetch configuration, store variants, and report performance. The account creates that identity. When you sign up, the platform generates a unique API key. The script reads this key on every page load, sends it to the Seatext backend, and receives the list of active agents for your domain. Without the key the backend cannot verify ownership, so it returns an empty payload and the script does nothing.

What Happens If the Script Runs Without an Account

If you paste the snippet but never create an account, the script still loads in the browser. It attempts to call the Seatext API with a missing or invalid key. The API responds with a 401 error, and the script silently stops. You will see no logo, no variant changes, and no data in any dashboard. This silent failure is intentional: it protects your content from being altered by an unauthenticated third party.

How the API Key and Account Authentication Flow Works

  1. You create a Seatext AI account on the General Integration page.
  2. The platform generates a unique API key and stores it in your account settings.
  3. You copy the JavaScript snippet that contains a placeholder for that key.
  4. When the page loads, the script replaces the placeholder with the key from your account.
  5. The script sends the key to the Seatext backend.
  6. The backend validates the key, checks the linked primary domain, and returns the active agent configuration.
  7. The script initializes the agents and begins rewriting, translating, or optimizing as configured.

Each step is automatic after the initial setup. The key never appears in your page source because it is injected at runtime from the secure account store.

Domain Binding: One Account per Primary Domain

Seatext AI ties each account to a single primary URL. This design prevents cross‑domain data leakage and ensures that variant testing, translation memory, and bot‑refund reports stay isolated. If you need the service on a second domain — for example a staging site or a separate brand — you must create a second account. The General Integration documentation states: "Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL." Attempting to use the same key on another domain will cause the backend to reject the request.

Why Localhost and Development URLs Are Restricted

Security policies block localhost, 127.0.0.1, and temporary development domains. The platform cannot reliably associate traffic from those addresses with a verified account, and allowing them would open a vector for unauthorized script execution. The integration guide explicitly says: "Development URLs, such as localhost, are restricted for security reasons. Ensure you use a valid, real domain." If you need a test environment, use a public staging subdomain (e.g., staging.example.com) that resolves to a real IP address.

Step‑by‑Step: Install and Activate with an Account

  1. Sign up for a Seatext AI account here.
  2. Copy the JavaScript code from the General Integration page.
  3. Insert the code into the <head> of every page you want to optimise.
  4. Publish the changes and load your site in a browser.
  5. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds; this dwell time activates the AI and links it to your account.
  6. Open the Main AI Hub, click Configuration, and enable the agents you need.

Verification Timing and What to Expect

After step 5, the Seatext logo at the top of the page should display your website name next to the logo. Wait at least five minutes for this name to appear. If the name is still missing after 10 minutes, contact the support team immediately. This delay can indicate an installation issue on your platform that requires assistance.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

  • Skipping account creation: The script will fail to load because no API key exists.
  • Using a development URL: Localhost and temporary domains are blocked for security reasons.
  • Not waiting 40 seconds: The AI remains inert until the activation dwell time is met.
  • Reusing one account on multiple domains: Each primary domain needs its own account.

Trade‑Offs and Alternatives

Seatext AI’s account model gives you centralized control, detailed reporting, and access to 20+ specialized agents (CRO Optimizer, Bot Protection, Translation, etc.). The trade‑off is the need to manage separate accounts for each domain. Alternatives such as client‑side only scripts or open‑source personalization libraries do not require accounts, but they lack real‑time variant testing, bot‑refund evidence, and multi‑language automation. If you only need simple A/B testing on a single page, a lightweight script may suffice. For full‑funnel optimization across paid traffic, organic search, and international markets, the account‑based platform provides a unified workflow that standalone tools cannot match.

Troubleshooting Installation and Activation

  • Logo never appears: Verify the script is in the <head> on every page, not just the homepage.
  • Name missing after 10 minutes: Open the browser console, look for 401 or CORS errors, and send the logs to support.
  • Agents not activating: In the AI Hub, ensure each desired agent is toggled on under Configuration.
  • Variant edits not saving: Confirm you are editing the correct URL and language in the Variants Edit panel.
  • Multiple domains showing same data: Check that each domain uses its own account and API key.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay to create an account?
Creating an account is free. You can start with a free 1‑month pilot trial or try Seatext AI free, then upgrade to a paid plan when you need more agents or higher volume.
Can I use the same account for multiple domains?
No. Each primary domain requires its own Seatext AI account. The platform enforces one account per primary URL.
What if I lose my API key?
Log in to your account, navigate to the API section, and regenerate a new key. Update the snippet on your site with the new key.
Is the script safe to add to any site?
Yes. The script is inert until the account authenticates it, protecting your content from unauthorized changes.
How do I know the AI is active?
After the 40‑second dwell time, the Seatext logo shows your site name next to the logo. Wait at least five minutes; if the name does not appear after 10 minutes, contact support.
Can I test on localhost?
Localhost and temporary development URLs are restricted for security reasons. Use a public staging subdomain instead.
What happens if I cancel my account?
The API key becomes invalid. The script will stop receiving agent configurations and will revert to inert behavior.

Why Seatext AI Requires an Account Before Installing the Script

Direct Answer: Seatext AI needs an account to generate a unique API key, track usage, and enforce security. The account also links the script to a specific domain, enabling personalized support and reliable operation.

Seatext AI does not let you install its script without an account. The script only becomes active after it can read a unique API key. That key is created when you sign up. The key ties the script to your domain. This is not a paywall. It is a security and support model.

An account lets Seatext identify your site, track what the AI does, and give you useful help. It also stops other people from copying the script and running it on their own domains. This article explains the reasoning, the setup steps, and the limits. It also covers alternatives and common questions.

FeatureWhy it matters
Unique API keyIdentifies your site and prevents other users from hijacking the script.
Domain linkageEach account is bound to a single primary URL, so the AI only runs on sites you own.
Usage trackingProvides reports on AI activity and helps you stay within plan limits.
Personalized supportSupport can see your account details and troubleshoot specific integration issues.
Security restrictionsLocalhost and dynamic development domains are blocked to avoid mis-association.

Why the account is required

Seatext’s general integration guide is direct: “Before you can install the script, you need a SEATEXT AI account.” That sentence is the center of the whole product design.

An account creates a visitor identity. When the AI server receives a request, it can see which account is asking. Without that identity, every request would be anonymous. Anonymous requests cannot be limited, billed, logged, or protected. That would make abuse easy and support impossible.

The account also proves that you own the domain. Each Seatext AI account is linked to a single primary URL. If you need Seatext on multiple domains, you must create separate accounts. This rule prevents one site owner from using another site’s script.

The requirement is not a marketing trick. Seatext needs a stable link between the script, the server, and the person responsible for the site. The account is that link.

How to create an account and get the API key

Start on the Seatext website. Look for the account creation link. The integration guide includes a link labeled HERE for new accounts. Check with the vendor for the exact sign-up fields, because they can change.

After you sign up, log in. Go to the General Integration section. You will see the JavaScript code provided by SEATEXT AI. Copy the full code block. The code is tied to your account through your API key. Do not copy only a fragment.

Paste the code into your website. If you are on WP Engine, use the WP Engine plugin that lets you add custom JavaScript to all your pages. Install it and apply it across all pages.

Now activate the AI. Refresh your website several times, and stay on your page for at least 40 seconds. This confirms that the script can reach the Seatext server and that the domain matches your account.

Wait at least five minutes. Your website name should appear next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the integration page. If you do not see it after 10 minutes, contact support. This step is part of the official activation process.

That walkthrough shows why the account matters at every stage. The key is not a username. It is a credential that only your account can generate.

How the API key secures the script

Every website script is public. A visitor can open the page source and see the code. That means Seatext cannot rely on the code staying secret. It relies on the server checking two things: the API key and the domain.

When a page loads, the script contacts Seatext’s servers. It sends the key and the current domain. The server asks: Does this key belong to an active account? Does the domain match the primary URL stored for that account? If either answer is no, the AI stays inert.

The integration guide says the AI remains inert until activated. That phrase is literal. The code can load in the browser, but no agent will rewrite text, translate a page, or log a conversion until the account check passes.

Here are common abuse patterns and how the account stops them.

  • Copied snippet: Someone copies the script from your site and pastes it on a lookalike domain. The lookalike domain is not registered to your account. The server rejects the request, and the AI does not run.
  • Leaked key: A developer accidentally publishes the snippet on GitHub. A stranger tries to reuse it. The domain mismatch blocks the call.
  • Staging misuse: Your team puts the script on a dynamic staging subdomain. Seatext may not be able to associate that traffic with your account. The script will not activate properly.

These are not fringe cases. They are common ways scripts get stolen or misused. The account requirement makes each failure point visible and fixable.

Usage tracking and personalized support

An account does more than security. It gives you a record of what the AI did. Every rewritten headline, translated page, or edited variant can appear in your dashboard. You can see which agents are active and where they are working.

Seatext’s integration guide points to the Main AI Hub for activation. You can open Configuration to adjust the AI parameters. You can also log in, go to Variants Edit in the left panel, select a URL and language, and review or edit the translations and variants the AI created. All of this lives under your account.

Support also depends on the account. When you contact Seatext, support can see your domain and recent request history. They do not need to guess what code you installed. They can look at request IDs and tell you exactly what is wrong.

A Seatext product manager puts it this way: “The account is the anchor for every support conversation. It gives us one view of the domain, the key, and the events. Without that view, we would be debugging a script blind.”

Representative case: a Seatext customer in retail saw product pages stop updating after a redesign. The marketing team opened a ticket. The account data showed that the script was still active on the domain, but the snippet was missing from the product page template. The team re-added the code, and the AI started working again. The support team could confirm the fix within the same session because the account gave them a known baseline.

Trade-offs: convenience vs security

The account requirement creates friction. You must register, copy code, wait for activation, and remember which domain is linked to which account. That is a real cost.

What do you get in return? You get a script that cannot be silently reused by strangers. You get logs that prove what the AI did. You get support that can diagnose problems with context. For a tool that can rewrite paid landing pages or translate customer-facing content, those benefits outweigh the friction.

There are alternatives that do not require accounts. Some AI widgets let you paste a snippet and go. They often use a shared key or anonymous endpoint. This is convenient for side projects, but it has limits: no domain binding, no isolation, and no support history. Check with the vendor for unsupported competitor details, because implementations differ.

When should you choose a no-account tool? Choose it for a quick prototype, a static marketing page, or a tool where you do not care about logs. Choose Seatext when the site is in production, when you run paid traffic, or when you need to prove what the AI changed.

Seatext also lets you start free. The integration guide does not mention a credit card requirement, and Seatext offers a free pilot trial. Paid plans appear only when you upgrade.

Practical use cases and limitations

Here are good use cases for the account-based design.

  • Ecommerce sites that need translation across 125 languages.
  • Paid ad pages that need to match a Google Ads keyword in real time.
  • Teams that want to test AI copy and keep a clear audit trail.
  • Agencies that need to prove installation and activation to clients.

There are limitations too. Each account is tied to one primary URL. If you manage multiple websites, you need one account per website. That means you may have several logins and several API keys to track. It is not a single-dashboard model.

Development URLs are restricted. Localhost is blocked for security reasons. Dynamic development domains may not function properly because Seatext cannot reliably associate traffic with your account. If you need a staging environment, use a real domain that you own, or check with the vendor for supported setups.

What happens if you try to use the script without an account? The script will load, but it will not do anything. Without a valid API key, the AI remains inert. You will not see rewritten copy, translations, or conversion events. You also will not appear in the support system.

Activation itself has timing conditions. You must refresh the site several times, stay for at least 40 seconds, and wait about five minutes for the website name to appear. This is part of the official process, not a bug.

FAQ

Why can’t I skip the account step? The AI is inert until it receives a valid API key. That key only exists after you sign up.

What if I use the script without an account? The code loads, but no AI behavior runs. There is no key to validate and no domain to link.

What if I lose my API key? You can regenerate it from the dashboard. The old key stops working. Check with the vendor for exact rotation behavior.

Do I need a credit card to create an account? No. Seatext offers a free pilot trial, and you only pay when you upgrade to a paid plan.

Can one account work for all my domains? No. Each Seatext AI account is linked to a single primary URL. You need separate accounts for separate domains.

Why is localhost blocked? Because a development URL can be shared by many developers and does not prove site ownership. Seatext uses the account and domain to verify that the script belongs to a real site.

Installing Seatext AI on Multiple Websites – What You Need to Know

Direct Answer: A single Seatext AI account is linked to one primary URL. To run the script on several sites you must create a separate account and API key for each real domain. Localhost and dynamic development domains are restricted.

Quick answer

No. Each Seatext AI account is tied to a single primary URL, so you need a separate account for every website you want to track.

Why each account is tied to one primary URL

Seatext AI links an account to one primary URL for security and data isolation. The system uses that URL to associate traffic, AI variants, and reporting with the correct account. This design prevents cross‑domain data leakage and ensures each site gets its own AI models.

Activation and verification steps

  1. Create an account for the first site. Visit the sign‑up page, enter your email, verify it, and note the generated API key. Source: S1 – "If you don't have an account yet, you can create one HERE"
  2. Copy the JavaScript code. In the dashboard, locate the script under General Integration and copy it. Source: S1 – "Copy the JavaScript code provided by SEATEXT AI"
  3. Paste the script into the site. Add it to the header of every page (or use the WP Engine plugin for WordPress).
  4. Activate the AI. Visit the live page, stay for at least 40 seconds, then wait five minutes for the SEATEXT logo to show your site name. Source: S1 – "Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on your page for at least 40 seconds" Source: S1 – "Wait at least five minutes until you see your website name displayed"
  5. Repeat for each additional website. Create a new account, get a new API key, and repeat steps 2‑4.

Managing multiple accounts for development and production

If you have a development domain and a production domain, create two separate accounts. Each account receives its own API key and its own AI data set. This keeps test traffic from contaminating live analytics.

Localhost and other local addresses are restricted for security reasons. Dynamic development domains (e.g., preview URLs that change on each deploy) may not function properly because Seatext AI cannot reliably associate traffic with a stable account. Use a real, publicly resolvable domain for every account.

Limitations and restrictions

  • One account per primary URL. You cannot reuse the same API key on a second domain.
  • Localhost and similar local URLs are blocked.
  • Dynamic preview domains may fail to connect.
  • Each account must be linked to a valid, real domain.

FAQ

  • Can I use one API key for several domains? No. Each key is bound to the primary URL of the account that generated it.
  • Do I need a paid plan for each site? The source material does not specify plan requirements per site. Check the pricing page for current details.
  • What if I have a development and a production domain? Create two accounts – one for the dev domain and one for the live domain – to keep traffic and AI data separate.
  • Is there a limit on how many accounts I can create? The documentation does not state a hard limit. Each account must be linked to a valid, real domain.
  • Why does the logo not show my site name after ten minutes? If the site name does not appear after ten minutes, refresh the page, verify the script placement, and contact support.

Forgot Your Seatext AI Password? Step‑by‑Step Recovery Guide

Direct Answer: If you already have a Seatext AI account but forgot your password, use the Forgot Password link on the login page to reset it via email. After resetting, log in again to continue using your AI agents.

What you’re seeing

You try to sign in, but the password field rejects your entry. This stops you from installing the script or activating AI agents.

Why it happens

The most common cause is a forgotten password. Occasionally, users type the wrong email address or have multiple accounts, which also leads to login failures.

Common mistake to avoid

Trying to create a new account instead of resetting the password. Each Seatext AI account is tied to a single primary domain, so a new account won’t give you access to your existing setup.

Resetting your password

  1. Go to the Seatext AI login page.
  2. Click the Forgot Password link below the password field.
  3. Enter the email address you used when you created the account.
  4. Check your inbox for a reset email and follow the link to set a new password.

Troubleshooting common issues

No reset email arrives

Check your spam or promotions folder. Verify you entered the exact email used for the account. If the email still does not appear after ten minutes, contact Seatext support.

Multiple domain accounts

Seatext AI requires a separate account for each primary domain. If you manage several sites, ensure you request a reset for the correct domain’s email.

Account locked after failed attempts

Repeated wrong passwords may trigger a temporary lock. Wait fifteen minutes, then try the reset link again.

Security tips to avoid future lockouts

  • Use a password manager to store unique, strong passwords.
  • Enable two‑factor authentication if your plan supports it.
  • Keep the registered email address current and accessible.
  • Do not share login credentials across team members; use role‑based access instead.

Verify your account after reset

  • Return to the login page and sign in with the new password.
  • Confirm that your dashboard shows the correct website name and AI agents.
  • If you don’t see your site after a few minutes, wait five minutes and refresh, as the connection may need to re‑activate.

Next steps once you’re back in

After logging in, you can continue to activate the AI agents that power conversion, translation, and bot protection. The platform remains inert until you enable the agents you need.

How to Install the Seatext AI Script After Creating Your Account

Direct Answer: Learn how to install the Seatext AI script after account creation, verify the connection, activate AI agents, and avoid common pitfalls.

Prerequisites and Account Setup

You need a verified Seatext AI account before you can install the script.

The account is tied to one primary domain only.

If you run a production site and a separate development site you must create two accounts.

Your domain must be publicly resolvable.

Localhost, dynamic staging subdomains that change each time, and IP‑based URLs are blocked for security.

You must be able to edit your site’s HTML templates or use a tag manager to place code.

Locating and Copying the Integration Snippet

Log in to seatext.com and open your dashboard.

Choose the General Integration item from the navigation menu.

The page shows a block labeled SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION.

Copy the entire <script>…</script> block exactly as it appears.

If you host on WP Engine install the WP Engine plugin that lets you add custom JavaScript.

Apply the plugin across all pages after installation.

Adding the Script to Your Website

Paste the copied snippet into every page template right before the closing </body> tag.

You can use a global footer template, a site‑wide header/footer injection field, or a tag‑manager rule that fires on every page view.

Placing the script just before </body> ensures the DOM is ready and avoids render‑blocking.

Make sure the snippet appears on each page you want optimized.

Triggering the Handshake and Confirming Connection

Open the live site in a browser.

Refresh the page a few times and stay on any page for at least 40 seconds.

This activity sends the first signal that links the domain to your account.

Return to the Seatext dashboard.

Within five minutes—sometimes up to ten—your website name should appear next to the Seatext logo at the top of the page.

If the name does not show after ten minutes contact support; the installation may have a platform‑specific issue.

Activating AI Agents and Optional Editing

Open the Main AI Hub from the dashboard.

You will see a list of available agents such as CRO Optimizer, Google Ads Landing Page Agent, Translation Agent, Bot Protection Agent, and others.

Click Activate on each agent you want to run.

After activation open the Configuration panel for each agent to set options like target languages, testing intensity, or bot‑refund sensitivity.

Once agents have run, Seatext creates automatic translations and copy variants.

In the left panel choose Variants Edit, pick a URL and a language, then review or manually adjust headlines, offers, or calls to action before they go live.

Common Mistakes, Limitations, and FAQs

Common mistakes that delay activation

  • Placing the script in the <head> without defer can block rendering and prevent the 40‑second handshake from firing reliably.
  • Using a single account for multiple domains means only the first domain appears in the dashboard; later sites stay unlinked.
  • Testing on localhost or a temporary preview URL is blocked; use a real domain or a stable staging subdomain mapped in DNS.
  • Closing the browser tab before 40 seconds stops the activation ping and breaks the link.

Limitations of this guide

  • Single‑page apps that load content via client‑side routing may need the snippet re‑injected on route change; the source pack does not cover SPA specifics.
  • Sites behind a strict Content Security Policy must whitelist seatext.com and the inline script hash; CSP tuning is outside this guide.
  • Enterprise customers using a dedicated CDN or edge worker should confirm with support whether the snippet belongs at the edge or origin.

Frequently asked follow‑up questions

Do I need an API key separate from the script snippet?
No. The snippet you copy from General Integration already contains your account identifier. There is no separate “API key” field to paste.
Can I install the script via Google Tag Manager?
Yes. Create a Custom HTML tag, paste the snippet, set the trigger to “All Pages – Page View,” and publish. The 40‑second visit rule still applies.
What if my site uses a CSP that blocks inline scripts?
Add the script’s SHA‑256 hash to your script-src directive, or host the snippet as a static file on your domain and reference it with <script src='/seatext.js'></script>.
How many AI agents can I activate on the free plan?
The free plan includes the CRO Optimizer (Agent #01) active by default. Additional agents require a paid tier; see the pricing page for the current agent list.
Does the script slow down page load?
The snippet loads asynchronously and is designed to be non‑blocking. Real‑world impact varies by site; monitor Core Web Vitals after deployment.
Can I uninstall or pause the script without deleting the account?
Yes. Remove the snippet from your templates or disable the GTM tag. The account and historical data remain intact.
What happens if I change my primary domain later?
You must create a new account for the new domain; accounts are permanently bound to the first domain they connect.
