To turn on SeaText AI for selected pages only, you first install the SeaText JavaScript snippet across your entire website. Once the snippet is active, you log into your SeaText dashboard and go to the Main AI Hub. There, you select the specific pages where you want the AI to work, choose the agents you need, and save the configuration. The AI stays inactive on every other page until you activate it.
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have a SeaText AI account. If you don’t have one, you can create it on the SeaText website. You also need access to your website’s code or a plugin that lets you add custom JavaScript (for example, WPEngine provides a plugin for this).
Step 1: Install the SeaText JavaScript Snippet
Copy the JavaScript code provided in your SeaText account under the General Integration section. Paste it into your website’s header or use a plugin to add it site-wide. The code loads the AI but does not activate it yet – it remains inert until you explicitly turn it on. Why site-wide? The snippet must be on every page so the AI can listen for activation signals. Without it, no page can ever be turned on. Inert means the AI does not read, write, or change any content. It only loads a small script that waits for your command.
Step 2: Verify the Connection
After installing the snippet, visit your website and refresh the page at least once. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This allows the AI to link to your account. Then wait about five minutes. You should see your website name appear next to the SeaText logo at the top of your SeaText dashboard. That confirms the connection is working. If it doesn’t appear after 10 minutes, contact support. The dashboard is the central place to check that your site is recognized.
Step 3: Open the Main AI Hub
Log into your SeaText account and navigate to the Main AI Hub. This is the central control panel where you manage which pages and agents are active. The hub shows a list of all your website’s pages. You can also enter specific URLs manually.
Step 4: Select the Pages You Want to Activate
In the Main AI Hub, you will see a list of all your website’s pages (or you can enter specific URLs). Choose the pages where you want SeaText AI to run. You can select one page, several pages, or all pages – but the goal here is to pick only the ones you need. To deselect a page, simply uncheck it or remove it from the list. The AI will not affect those pages at all.
Step 5: Activate the Agents You Need
Once you have selected the pages, configure the AI agents you want to use. For example, you might enable the Conversion Agent, the Google Ads Landing Page Agent, or the Translation Agent. Click “Configuration” to adjust any parameters for each agent. You can also leave the default settings. Each agent works independently. You can turn on different agents on different pages. For example, use the Translation Agent on your international pages but not on your blog.
Step 6: Save and Verify
After making your selections, save the configuration. The AI will now be active on the selected pages. To verify, visit one of those pages and check that the AI is working – for example, the page content may update based on visitor intent. The AI will not affect pages you did not select. You can also go to the Variants Edit section in the left panel to review, create, or manually edit the translations or variants that the AI generated.
Why Activate SeaText AI Selectively
Selective activation gives you control. You decide which pages get AI-driven changes. This is useful if you only want to optimize landing pages, product pages, or specific blog posts. You might want to test the AI on a few pages before rolling it out site-wide. Selective activation also keeps your critical pages, like checkout or legal pages, untouched. The AI remains inert everywhere else, so no accidental changes happen.
How Page Selection Works in the Main AI Hub
The Main AI Hub lists every page on your site. You can filter by URL pattern or search. Select pages by checking boxes. You can also add a list of URLs. The hub remembers your selection. If you add new pages later, they are not automatically activated. You must go back and select them. This ensures you always control what the AI touches.
What Happens After Activation
Once you save, the AI agents start working on the selected pages. For example, the Conversion Agent may rewrite headlines and CTAs. The Translation Agent translates content into 125 languages. The AI does not change anything on unselected pages. You can monitor results in the dashboard. You can also edit variants manually in the Variants Edit section. To stop the AI on a page, go back to the Main AI Hub, deselect that page, and save.
Troubleshooting Connection Problems
If your website does not appear in the dashboard after 10 minutes, check that the snippet is installed correctly. Use your browser’s developer tools to see if the script loads. Make sure you are using a real domain, not localhost. Each SeaText account is tied to one primary domain. If you have multiple domains, create separate accounts. For staging sites, use a real domain. If problems persist, contact SeaText support.
A Practical Selective Activation Example
Imagine you run an ecommerce site. You want SeaText AI on your product pages but not on your blog or contact page. You install the snippet site-wide. Then in the Main AI Hub, you select only the product page URLs. You enable the Ecommerce Product Copy Agent and the Conversion Agent. You save. Now the AI rewrites product names and descriptions. It tests headlines. Your blog stays unchanged. If later you want to add the blog, you return to the hub and select those pages.
Key Facts
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Installation time | Under 1 minute (copy and paste code) |
| Security | The AI remains inert until activated; no content changes without your permission |
| Account per domain | Each domain requires a separate SeaText account – development URLs like localhost are restricted |
| Verification | Refresh your site, stay 40 seconds, wait 5 minutes for the dashboard to show your site |
| Number of agents | 20+ autonomous agents available (e.g., CRO, translation, bot protection) |
Limitations and When This Advice Does Not Apply
Selective activation works only after the JavaScript snippet is installed site-wide. If you have not yet installed the snippet, no pages will be active. Also, you cannot use the same account for multiple domains – each domain needs its own account. Development URLs (like localhost or dynamic dev domains) are not supported. If you need to test on a staging site, use a real domain.
Terminology
- Main AI Hub: The dashboard area where you enable and configure AI agents per page.
- Agents: Individual AI functions (e.g., Conversion Agent, Translation Agent, Bot Protection Agent) that you can activate independently.
- Variants: Different versions of page content created by the AI for testing or personalization – you can edit them in the “Variants Edit” section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install the code on every page separately?
No. The JavaScript snippet is installed once site-wide. After that, you choose which pages to activate in the Main AI Hub.
How long does it take for the AI to start working on selected pages?
After you save the configuration, the AI becomes active immediately. However, you should refresh the page to see changes.
Can I activate different agents on different pages?
Yes. In the Main AI Hub, you can configure each page or group of pages with a different set of agents.
What if I want to deactivate the AI on a page later?
Go back to the Main AI Hub, select that page, and disable the agents or remove the page from the active list.
Is there a limit to how many pages I can activate?
SeaText does not publish a page limit, but each SeaText account is tied to one primary domain.
Do I need technical skills to install the code?
Basic familiarity with adding JavaScript to a website is enough. Some platforms (like WPEngine) offer plugins to simplify the process.
Why does the AI stay inactive until I turn it on?
This is a security and control feature. It ensures your site content is not automatically changed without your explicit selection.
