SeaText AI onboarding for multiple websites is a per-domain process. Create one SeaText AI account for each website, install the provided JavaScript snippet on each site, activate the AI by visiting the pages, and then turn on the agents you need. Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL, so a separate account is required for every domain.
This guide explains the exact order, what to prepare, how to verify each connection, and the restrictions that can break the process if you ignore them.
Before you begin: what each website needs
Have these items ready for every domain you plan to onboard.
- A SeaText AI account for that domain. You can create one from the integration page if you do not have one.
- Access to add JavaScript to the website. On WPEngine, install the WP Engine plugin that adds custom JavaScript.
- A valid, real domain. Localhost is restricted, and dynamic development domains may not work reliably.
- A way to open the live site after installation, because activation depends on real visits.
Because each account is linked to one primary URL, the correct mental model is one account per website, not one account with multiple sites inside it.
Step-by-step: onboard multiple websites in SeaText AI
Follow these steps for each website.
- Create a separate SeaText AI account for the website.
- Open the General Integration page and copy the JavaScript code provided by SEATEXT AI.
- Add the code to that website. On WPEngine, use the WP Engine plugin and apply it across all pages.
- Visit or refresh the website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to that account.
- Wait at least five minutes. Then check the top of the SeaText page for the website name next to the SEATEXT logo. That name confirms the website is connected.
- If the name does not appear after 10 minutes, contact support immediately. There may be an installation issue on your platform.
- Go to the Main AI Hub and activate the necessary AI on your preferred pages.
- Click Configuration to adjust the AI parameters for that site.
Optional: SeaText AI provides an initial round of automatic translations and variants for testing. To review or edit them, go to Variants Edit in the left panel and choose the URL and language.
How to verify each website is connected
Verification is not a separate tool. It is the connection check built into onboarding.
- Wait at least five minutes after you finish the activation visits.
- Look for the website name next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the page.
- See the name? The site is connected and ready for the next step.
- No name after 10 minutes? Contact support rather than guessing.
Run this check for every domain. A connected first site does not mean the second site is connected.
What happens after activation: Main AI Hub and Configuration
Once the website name appears, move to the Main AI Hub. Activate the AI agents you need on your preferred pages. Then use Configuration to adjust how they behave.
For multiple websites, repeat the same sequence for each site. The Main AI Hub is where you switch from onboarding into ongoing operation, and Configuration is where you set parameters before the AI starts on a page.
Optional editing: log in, open Variants Edit from the left panel, select the URL and language, and review, create, or manually edit translations and variants.
Multiple domains: rules and restrictions
SeaText AI treats domains as separate properties, not as aliases of one account.
- Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL.
- Development and production domains need separate accounts.
- Localhost is restricted for security reasons.
- Dynamic development domains may not function properly because SeaText AI may not be able to reliably associate traffic with your account.
- Use a valid, real domain in all cases.
This is the main rule to remember when you plan multiple websites. A second domain needs its own account; one account cannot serve as the connection point for two primary URLs.
Practical scenarios for multi-site onboarding
Here is how the rules apply in common situations.
Development and production domains
If you need SeaText AI on a development domain and a production domain, create a separate account for each. Do not use localhost for the development site. Use a valid, real domain, and repeat the activation visit for both sites.
Agency or client websites
Each client site is a separate domain and needs a separate account. Budget time for each domain: create the account, install the snippet, visit the pages for at least 40 seconds, and wait for the website name to appear. The per-site confirmation wait means onboarding several sites takes longer than onboarding one.
WPEngine sites
If your website runs on WPEngine, install the WP Engine plugin that enables custom JavaScript and apply it across all pages. This is the recommended path instead of manually editing every template.
Key facts: SeaText AI multi-site onboarding at a glance
| Area | What to know |
|---|---|
| Account model | Separate account for each domain |
| Primary URL | Each account is linked to a single primary URL |
| Installation | Copy the JavaScript code from the General Integration page; WPEngine sites use the WP Engine plugin |
| Activation | Visit or refresh the site several times and stay at least 40 seconds |
| Confirmation | Website name appears next to the SEATEXT logo after about five minutes; contact support after 10 |
| Next step | Main AI Hub to activate agents; Configuration to adjust parameters |
| Restrictions | Localhost restricted; dynamic development domains may not work |
Common onboarding mistakes to avoid
Most onboarding problems come from skipping a step or treating multiple sites like one site.
- Using one account for multiple websites. The account model does not support this.
- Installing the script and stopping there. The AI stays inert until the activation step.
- Visiting the page once and leaving immediately. The guidance says to visit or refresh several times and stay for at least 40 seconds.
- Checking too early. Wait at least five minutes before expecting the website name.
- Using localhost or a dynamic development URL. These are restricted or unreliable for traffic association.
- Forgetting the WP Engine plugin step on WPEngine sites.
Scope of this guide
This guide covers onboarding only: account creation, script installation, activation, and verification. It does not explain how to pick or tune individual AI agents after setup. For that, use the Main AI Hub and Configuration once the website is connected.
Terminology you will see during onboarding
- Primary URL: the single website address linked to a SeaText AI account.
- JavaScript snippet: the code from the General Integration page that you add to your site.
- Inert: the AI is installed but not active until the activation step happens.
- Main AI Hub: the dashboard where you activate AI on your preferred pages.
- Configuration: the settings used to adjust AI parameters.
- Variants Edit: the panel for reviewing, creating, or editing translations and variants.
Frequently asked questions
Why does SeaText AI need a separate account for each website?
Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL. Multiple websites need multiple accounts so traffic and configuration stay associated with the correct domain.
Can I use one account for a development domain and a production domain?
No. The integration instructions say to create separate accounts for each domain, including a development domain and a production domain. Localhost is restricted.
How long does activation take?
Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds during activation. Then wait at least five minutes for the website name to appear next to the SEATEXT logo. If it does not appear after 10 minutes, contact support.
Is the AI active as soon as the script is installed?
No. The installation is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated. Activation happens when you visit or refresh the site several times and stay on the page.
What should I do after a website is connected?
Go to the Main AI Hub, activate the AI you need on your preferred pages, and use Configuration to adjust the parameters. Use Variants Edit to review, create, or edit translations and variants if needed.
Can I onboard all websites at the same time?
You can follow the same steps for multiple sites, but each site needs its own account, its own script installation, and its own activation visits. The connection confirmation is per site, so the process cannot be replaced by one shared setup.

How SeaText AI can help
SeaText AI's General Integration page is the starting point for onboarding each website. It provides the JavaScript code to copy, the WP Engine plugin option for WPEngine sites, and the activation steps you need to repeat per domain. The important limitation is that each account is linked to a single primary URL, so create one account per website. Localhost and dynamic development domains are not reliable for this process.
