Direct Answer: SeaText doesn't integrate directly with Elementor — it requires a JavaScript snippet placed in your site's header. If the snippet isn't added, or if you haven't visited the live site long enough to trigger the initial sync, the domain won't appear in your SeaText dashboard. Development URLs and missing domain registration are other common causes.
You installed Elementor, but your site still doesn't show up in your SeaText account. That's expected — Elementor and SeaText are separate tools. SeaText connects to your site through a JavaScript snippet you paste into the page header, not through the Elementor plugin itself. Until that snippet loads on a live, public URL and sends a signal back to SeaText's servers, your dashboard will stay empty.
| Criteria | Direct Elementor Integration | JavaScript Snippet Method |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | N/A (Not supported) | 5-10 minutes |
| Reliability | N/A | High (Direct Injection) |
| Domain Support | N/A | Public DNS domains only |
| Ease of Use | N/A | Easy (via Copy/Paste) |
SeaText works by injecting a small JavaScript file into every page you want it to analyze or optimize. The official installation guide tells you to copy the snippet from your SeaText account and paste it into the "Scripts In Header" field of the free Headers and Footers by WPBeginner plugin. Elementor doesn't handle this step natively. You can build your entire site with Elementor, but if the SeaText snippet isn't in the header, SeaText never knows the site exists.
The connection is asynchronous. This means the script loads in the browser and then calls out to SeaText's API. This "handshake" is what registers your domain in the database database associated with your specific account ID. If the script is missing or blocked by a security setting, the handshake never completes.
Even with the snippet in place, SeaText won't list your site instantly. According to S1: 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. Furthermore, S1 notes you should Wait at least five minutes until you see your website name displayed next to the SeaText logo at the top of this page. This delay is intentional processing time for the backend to register the new domain.
If it isn't there after 10 minutes, something blocked the handshake. This usually happens because the script isn't actually executing on the front end, or it is being rejected by the SeaText server due to invalid credentials.
The handshake fails when the browser cannot successfully communicate with the SeaText API. Here are specific scenarios based on technical restrictions and common errors:
localhost, staging subdomains, and dynamic preview URLs. It needs a real, public domain with valid DNS. If your URL ends in .local or uses ngrok.io, the dashboard will never update.401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden error. Check your browser's network tab for these codes.seatext.com, preventing the site from registering.Follow this sequence to isolate where the connection is breaking down:
seatext or your unique account ID. If it isn't in the HTML, the plugin isn't saving the code correctly.api.seatext.com. A 200 response means ping left your browser; a 403/401 means the account ID in the snippet doesn't match a valid account.Elementor is a visual page builder. It writes HTML and CSS into your pages. SeaText reads that HTML and can rewrite text on the fly — but only after its snippet loads. Installing Elementor doesn't install SeaText. SeaText doesn't require Elementor. They're orthogonal. The confusion usually comes from seeing "Elementor" in the plugin list and assuming it's the integration point. In reality, Elementor provides the canvas, while SeaText provides the observer layer.
If you've verified the snippet is in the live page header, you've visited the page for over a minute in incognito, you've waited 10+ minutes, and the site still doesn't appear, the issue is likely on SeaText' side — an account-domain mismatch, a backend delay, or a bug in the registration endpoint. The documentation says: "If you do not see it at the top of the page after 10 minutes, please contact our support team."
Only if the staging URL is a real, public domain (e.g., staging.yourdomain.com with valid DNS and SSL). localhost, .local, and random preview URLs like xyz.ngrok.io are blocked.
Yes. The documentation states: "Each SeaText AI account is linked to a single primary URL." A subdomain counts as a different primary URL.
Move it to the Headers and Footers plugin's "Scripts In Header" field. Elementor's Custom Code often loads after SeaText's registration window closes, or only on specific templates.
Open dev tools → Network tab, filter for "seatext". You should see a request to SeaText's API with a 200 status. If you see nothing, the snippet isn't executing.
Yes. If you added the snippet but the cached version of your pages doesn't include it, SeaText won't load. Clear all caches (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed, server-level cache, Cloudflare) after saving the snippet.
Create a separate SeaText account for each client's primary domain. Use a distinct email or the agency dashboard if SeaText offers one — but one-account-per-domain rule still applies.

Direct Answer: Square integrations usually fail to send receipts due to deactivated dashboard settings, missing customer email data at checkout, or broken webhook connections between Square and your platform.
If your Square integration is not sending email receipts, the issue typically stems from a disconnect between your Square dashboard settings and the data captured during the transaction. Most often, the automated receipt trigger is either disabled in your Square account settings, or the integration's webhook—the technical signal that triggers the email—is not receiving the event notification.
To fix this, you must verify that receipt emails are toggled on in your Square location settings, ensure that your checkout flow is successfully capturing a valid email address for every customer, and check that your integration's webhook is active and listening for 'receipt.created' events.
| Check Area | Common Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard Settings | Receipts toggled off | Enable 'Email Receipts' in Square Location settings. |
| Customer Data | Missing email field | Ensure your checkout process requires/saves an email. |
| API/Webhooks | Inactive event listeners | Re-verify webhook URL in the Square Developer Dashboard. |
| Email Deliverability | Spam filters/blocks | Check recipient inbox or whitelist Square domains. |
Square handles receipts through a specific sequence of triggers. When a payment is finalized, Square checks the settings for the specific location used. If email receipts are enabled, Square looks for an email address associated with the transaction. If no email is present, the process stops unless the staff member manually enters one.
In an integrated environment, this process often relies on webhooks. A webhook sends a packet of data to your platform the moment a sale occurs. If this connection is broken or the endpoint is down, your platform never knows it needs to send a custom-branded email receipt, even if Square shows the transaction as successful.
Why does this matter? Receipts build customer trust. They confirm the purchase, provide a record for returns, and reduce disputes. For businesses, automated receipts save staff time and ensure consistency. Without them, you risk frustrated customers and lost sales.
Square's receipt system follows a clear flow. First, a customer makes a payment. Square then checks the location settings for email receipt preferences. If enabled, Square looks for a customer email. If found, Square generates a receipt and sends it via email. If not, the process stops.
For integrations, the flow adds a step. Square sends a webhook event—like 'payment.created' or 'order.created'—to your platform. Your platform then triggers its own receipt email. This is where many integrations fail. The webhook must be correctly configured and active.
As described in the Seatext integration documentation (S1), setting up webhooks involves copying a JavaScript code and configuring the endpoint. The AI then listens for events and can trigger receipt actions. This ensures your platform knows when a sale occurs.
Square's system is designed for reliability. But each step depends on the previous one. A break anywhere stops the receipt.
Square offers built-in email receipts. These are simple and free. They work out of the box. But they lack customization. You cannot change the design or add your branding. They also do not integrate with your CRM or other tools.
Custom integration receipts give you control. You can design the email, add product recommendations, and track opens. They can also trigger follow-up actions, like sending a survey. But they require technical setup. You need to configure webhooks and handle errors.
Which should you choose? If you run a small shop and just need a basic receipt, built-in is fine. If you want to build customer relationships or automate marketing, custom is better. The trade-off is simplicity versus flexibility.
For example, a retail store might use built-in receipts. An online store with a loyalty program might need custom ones. Consider your needs and resources.
The most common reason for missing receipts is a simple toggle within the Square interface. Square allows you to set different receipt preferences per location. If 'Email Receipts' is disabled at the location, the system will not attempt to send them regardless of your integration settings.
To check this, log into your Square Dashboard, navigate to Settings, and find Business > Receipts. Ensure that the 'Email Receipts' toggle is turned on. If this is off, your integration will never receive the signal to send one because Square is not generating it in the first place.
Remember the most common mistake: disabling this toggle while assuming the integration handles it. Always verify this first.
You cannot send an email if you do not have a destination. In many point-of-sale (POS) scenarios, staff might skip the email field to speed up the line. If the email field is empty, the automated receipt process fails silently.
Review your checkout workflow to ensure that the email field is mandatory or highly encouraged. If your integration allows customers to bypass the email entry, you will see a high rate of 'missing' receipts. Using a digital-first approach where the customer enters their email on a tablet is the most reliable way to prevent this.
Why does this matter? Without an email, you lose the chance to follow up. You cannot send receipts, confirmations, or marketing. This hurts customer trust and your ability to build relationships.
For technical users, the issue often lies in the communication layer. A webhook is a URL you provide to Square that 'calls' when something happens. If your webhook URL is expired, incorrect, or returning 400/500 errors, the receipt signal is lost.
Check your Square Developer Dashboard. Look at your application's webhooks and ensure that the 'payment.payment_created' or 'order.created' events are subscribed. If you see a high number of failed deliveries in the logs, your server is rejecting the data, preventing the receipt from firing.
As noted in the Seatext product descriptions (S2, S5), a properly configured integration uses webhooks to trigger receipt events. The AI listens for these events and can automate responses. Without a working webhook, the integration is blind.
Square email receipts have limits. They only work if you capture an email. For card-not-present transactions—like online orders—Square cannot send a receipt without an email. This is a common gap.
Another limit: Square receipts are not customizable. You cannot add your logo or change the layout. This can make them look generic. For branded experiences, you need a custom integration.
Also, Square receipts do not include detailed product data for all integrations. Some platforms may not receive line items. This can confuse customers who expect a full list.
Finally, Square receipts can be delayed. If the email system is slow, customers may wait minutes. This can cause anxiety. For time-sensitive purchases, this is a problem.
In a retail store, the customer is present. Staff can ask for an email. But they might forget. The risk is missing receipts. A digital checkout—like a tablet—can enforce email capture. This ensures every customer gets a receipt.
For online checkout, the customer enters their email. But if the form is optional, some skip it. Make the email field required. This guarantees a receipt can be sent. Also, test the webhook to ensure it fires for every order.
Another scenario: refunds. When you process a refund, Square may not send a receipt automatically. You need to check your integration. Some systems handle refund receipts separately. Ensure your webhook listens for refund events.
For high-volume stores, automated receipts save time. Staff do not need to manually send them. This reduces errors and improves customer satisfaction.
Sometimes Square says the email was sent, but the customer never sees it. This is a deliverability issue. Large corporate email filters often flag automated receipts as spam, especially if the domain records haven't been configured correctly.
Test by sending a receipt to a personal Gmail or Outlook account. If it arrives there but not at the customer's work inbox, you likely need to update your SPF and DKIM records on your domain provider to ensure your emails are recognized as legitimate.
Why does this matter? Even if everything else works, a blocked email means the customer gets no receipt. This erodes trust. They may think the transaction failed. Always test deliverability.
To systematically find the problem, follow this order of operations:
Usually, this is because the customers without receipts did not provide an email address during checkout, or their email provider blocked the message via a filter.
Yes, you can usually resend receipts directly from the Square Dashboard by selecting the specific transaction, provided an email address was on file.
Standard email receipts are included with your Square account, though some third-party integrations may have their own fees for customized email features.
Most receipts are delivered within seconds. If it takes more than five minutes, there is likely a deliverability delay or a filter issue.
Refund receipts are not always automatic. Check your integration settings. Some systems require a separate webhook for refund events. Ensure your webhook listens for 'refund.created' events.
Built-in Square receipts are not customizable. For custom designs, use a third-party integration. This allows you to add branding, product recommendations, and tracking.

Direct Answer: The snippet usually disappears because Odoo's website cache or a CDN serves an old version of the page, or because the Embed Code block has "Hide on Desktop" enabled in its visibility settings. Clear the Odoo website cache, purge any CDN, and verify the block visibility before assuming the code failed.
You saved the SeaText embed code in an Odoo Embed Code block, hit Save, and the snippet still doesn't appear on the live page. The two most common reasons are server-side caching (Odoo's own website cache or a CDN like Cloudflare) and the block's visibility setting "Hide on Desktop" being turned on. Start by clearing Odoo's website cache from the backend, then purge any CDN cache, and finally confirm the Embed Code block does not have "Hide on Desktop" checked in its Visibility options.
SeaText installs on Odoo through the standard Website builder. You add an Embed Code block from the Dynamic Content section of the Blocks panel, paste the JavaScript snippet provided by SeaText, and save. The script is designed to load in the page <head> so it initializes before content renders. Odoo stores the block's HTML in the database and serves it through its website rendering engine, which caches pages aggressively to improve performance.
According to the official integration guide, after pasting the code you must click Save in the pop-up, then select Hide on Desktop in the Visibility section if you want the block hidden on desktop, and click Save again. The guide then instructs you to visit or refresh your website to see the changes.
SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION or your SeaText account ID. If the script tag is present but the UI doesn't appear, the script may be blocked by CSP or a script error.localhost or dynamic preview URLs are restricted. If you're testing on a staging subdomain, you need a separate SeaText account for that domain.| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Snippet visible in editor but not on live site | Odoo website cache serving old template | Clear Odoo cache (Website → Clear cache / Regenerate assets) |
| Snippet missing even after cache clear | CDN or reverse proxy caching HTML | Purge CDN cache (Cloudflare: Purge Everything; hosting panel: clear edge cache) |
| Block exists but hidden on desktop | "Hide on Desktop" enabled in Visibility | Edit block → Visibility → uncheck Hide on Desktop → Save |
| Script tag present in source but no UI | Content Security Policy blocking SeaText domain | Add SeaText domain to CSP script-src and connect-src directives |
| Console shows 403/401 from SeaText API | Domain not authorized in SeaText account | Create a SeaText account for the exact production domain; localhost not allowed |
| Block not found in page source at all | Block placed on wrong layout or not published | Verify block on correct page layout; ensure page is published |
Odoo maintains several cache layers that can hide fresh edits:
If you use Odoo Online (SaaS), the Clear cache button in the website editor is usually sufficient. On Odoo.sh or on-premise, you may also need to restart the worker processes or run odoo-bin --clear-cache.
The Embed Code block's Visibility panel includes three toggles: Hide on Mobile, Hide on Tablet, and Hide on Desktop. The integration guide specifically calls out Hide on Desktop as a step to hide the block from view on desktop devices. If you followed the guide literally and left that box checked, the block will not render on desktop browsers — exactly the symptom you're seeing. Uncheck it, save, and clear cache again.
Note: The visibility setting applies at render time via CSS display: none on the wrapper element. The script tag may still appear in page source, but the block's container is hidden, so any inline initialization that depends on the block's DOM presence may not run.

The editor renders a live preview that bypasses the public cache. The public site serves a cached HTML snapshot. Clear the website cache and any CDN cache.
<head> manually?No. The Embed Code block places the script where you drop it. For earliest initialization, drop it near the top of the page layout (e.g., in the header area). SeaText's script self-initializes on DOMContentLoaded.
No. Each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL. Create a separate account for each domain, including staging subdomains.
Check the browser console for CSP errors or JavaScript exceptions. Verify the SeaText domain is allowed in your Content Security Policy. Confirm the block is on the published version of the page (not a draft).
SeaText is designed for the public website (Website module). It does not load in the Odoo backend (/web) or customer portal (/my) unless you explicitly add the Embed Code block to those layouts, which is not standard practice.
SeaText begins analyzing visitor reading behavior immediately. You'll see copy variants and translations appear in the SeaText dashboard as traffic accumulates. The first visible change is often AI-generated FAQ content or translated pages, depending on which agents you activated.
Yes, developers can create a custom Odoo module that injects the script into the <head> via a QWeb template. This avoids cache/visibility issues but requires code deployment. The Embed Code block is the no-code method documented by SeaText.

Direct Answer: The most common causes are script placement errors, caching plugins blocking execution, domain verification issues, or conflicting JavaScript on that specific domain. Each domain also needs its own SEATEXT account linked to that exact URL.
If your SEATEXT script works on most domains but not one, the cause is almost always one of four things: the script isn't actually installed on that domain, a caching plugin is blocking it, the domain isn't verified in your SEATEXT account, or another script is conflicting with it. The most common reason, though, is that each domain needs its own SEATEXT account linked to that exact URL.
SEATEXT links each account to a single primary URL. If you're using the same script code on multiple domains without creating a separate account for each, the script won't associate traffic correctly with the second domain. The script may load, but the AI won't activate because it can't match the domain to your account.
Even if you have separate accounts, the script might still fail due to placement errors, caching, or JavaScript conflicts. The diagnostic sequence below walks you through the most likely culprits in order.
SEATEXT's architecture ties an AI instance to a single primary URL. This design ensures that traffic data, variant testing, and conversion attribution stay isolated per domain. When you install the script, it sends a domain identifier to SEATEXT's servers. If that identifier doesn't match the account's registered URL, the AI remains inert. This prevents cross-domain data leakage and keeps reporting accurate. The source pack states: "Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL." Therefore, you must create a new account for each domain you want to optimize.
Follow these steps in order. Stop when you find the issue.
If the script is present but not working, inspect the placement. SEATEXT provides integration guides for WordPress, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, HubSpot, and Optimizely. Each platform has a specific location for the script:
| Platform | Placement Method | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress / WooCommerce | Use "Insert Headers and Footers" plugin | Paste code into "Scripts In Header" section |
| BigCommerce | Script Manager → Create a Script | Add via Channel Manager → Storefronts |
| HubSpot | Settings → General → Advanced → Footer HTML | Publish changes with orange button |
| Optimizely | Follow step-by-step integration instructions | Copy JavaScript from SEATEXT account |
Make sure the script is on every page you want to optimize, not just the homepage. Also, check that the domain is a real, valid domain—not localhost or a dynamic development URL.
Some hosting providers, like WPEngine, require a special plugin to add custom JavaScript. If you're on WPEngine, install the WP Engine plugin that enables custom JS. Without it, the script may not load.
If you're using a content delivery network (CDN) or a firewall, it might block the script. Temporarily disable these to test. Also, ensure the script is not being minified or altered by a build process. The source pack notes: "If you are using WPEngine please download the WP Engine plugin that enables you to add custom JavaScript code to your pages."
If you've gone through the diagnostic sequence and the domain still isn't connecting, contact SEATEXT support. The source pack says: "If you do not see it at the top of the page after 10 minutes, please contact our support team immediately." Support can help you verify the installation and check for platform-specific issues.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Account per domain | Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. |
| Development URLs | Localhost and dynamic development domains are restricted for security reasons. |
| Activation | Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. |
| Confirmation | Wait at least five minutes for your website name to appear next to the SEATEXT logo. |
| Support | If the name doesn't appear after 10 minutes, contact support immediately. |
The advice above assumes you're using a standard, publicly accessible domain. If you're testing on a staging site or a domain with a firewall, the script may not activate. Also, if you have multiple subdomains, each one may need its own account. The source pack specifically mentions that dynamic development domains may not function properly because SEATEXT can't reliably associate traffic with your account.
Another exception: if you're using a single-page application (SPA) like React, the script may need special handling. The source pack mentions "For SPAs (React and etc)" in the FAQ, so check the documentation for SPA-specific instructions.
Most likely because each domain needs its own SEATEXT account. If you're using the same account for multiple domains, the script won't associate traffic correctly with the second domain.
After installing the script, visit or refresh the page several times and stay for at least 40 seconds. Then wait at least five minutes. If it doesn't appear after 10 minutes, contact support.
No. Each domain requires a separate SEATEXT account, and each account has its own script code. You must copy the code from each account separately.
Development URLs are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain. Dynamic development domains may not work because SEATEXT can't reliably associate traffic with your account.
Yes. Some caching plugins delay or strip JavaScript. Temporarily disable caching on the problematic domain to test.
Contact SEATEXT support immediately. They can help you verify the installation and troubleshoot platform-specific issues.
Yes, but SPAs require special handling. Check the SEATEXT documentation for "For SPAs (React and etc)" to get the correct integration steps.
Each subdomain may need its own SEATEXT account. Treat each subdomain as a separate primary URL.
The AI stays inert until activated by real traffic. You must visit the page, stay for 40 seconds, and wait five minutes for the domain to register.

Direct Answer: Your SeaText integration is probably not stuck; it is waiting for activation. You need to visit or refresh the Tilda site several times, stay for at least 40 seconds, and then wait up to five minutes for the dashboard to connect. If nothing appears after that, the domain on your SeaText account likely does not match the live Tilda URL.
Your SeaText integration is probably not stuck. It is waiting for activation. The JavaScript code you pasted into Tilda is designed to stay inactive until a visitor spends at least 40 seconds on the live site. This security step links the code to your SeaText account. If you skipped it, the dashboard has no way to confirm the code is working, so the integration looks like it is taking forever.
There is also a second built-in delay. After the activation visit, SeaText asks you to wait at least five minutes before the website name appears next to the SEATEXT logo. Checking too early makes it look like a failure when the system is simply processing the connection.
SeaText links a live website to a single account URL. The Tilda page must be publicly accessible, the code must be in the correct field, and the activation traffic must come from the right domain.
When one of these is missing, the system quietly waits for the right condition. It does not throw an error, and it does not change your site. The consequence is that none of the agents you selected can run. No translation, no CRO changes, and no bot detection will appear until the link is made.
The main exception is a mismatched domain. If you installed the code on a development URL or localhost, SeaText will block it for security reasons. No amount of waiting will fix that.
Follow this order. It moves from the most likely cause to the least likely.
If you reach the end and the website name still does not appear, the problem is almost always a domain mismatch or a blocked development URL.
The 40-second rule exists so SeaText can associate real visitor traffic with your account. The AI remains inert until activated, which protects your website content from changes during installation.
A quick refresh is not enough. SeaText needs to see several visits and a sustained session. This proves the page is live, reachable, and stable. Development URLs, such as localhost, are restricted for security reasons. Dynamic development domains may not function properly because SeaText cannot reliably associate that traffic with your account.
If you are testing on a preview domain that Tilda provides, switch to your real domain and repeat the visit. This single change resolves most long waits.
Tilda offers two places to insert custom code. The method you choose changes how the integration behaves.
This adds the SeaText script to every page on the site. Use it when you want sitewide translation, global CRO changes, or bot detection on all traffic. The official SeaText instructions use this path: Site Settings, then More, then HTML code for the head section, then Edit code.
This adds the script to a single page using the T123 block. You choose a page, add a block, select Other, choose T123, and paste the code into the HTML editor. Use this only if you want SeaText on one landing page or product page.
The trade-off is coverage. Site-level code activates across the whole site. Page-level code means other pages will not be tracked or optimized. If you used page-level code and are waiting for sitewide changes, the dashboard will keep waiting because traffic on other pages never triggers the script.
Here are the facts that matter when you troubleshoot a delay. They come directly from the SeaText Tilda integration guide.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Account required | Before you can install the script, you need a SEATEXT AI account. |
| Inert code | The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated. |
| Activation visit | Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on your page for at least 40 seconds. |
| Dashboard update | Wait at least five minutes until you see your website name displayed next to the SEATEXT logo. |
| Domain binding | Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. |
| Restricted URLs | Development URLs, such as localhost, are restricted for security reasons. |
| Mistake | Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Code saved but site not published | Nothing changes on the public site | Click Publish in Tilda after pasting the code |
| Pasting code into a single page only | Some pages work, others stay unchanged | Use Site Settings, then HEAD tag, for sitewide coverage |
| Using localhost or a preview URL | Activation never completes | Install on a valid, real domain |
| Waiting on the wrong domain | Dashboard shows no website name | Create a separate SeaText account for each domain |
| Checking the dashboard too early | No website connected message | Wait at least five minutes after the 40-second visit |
SeaText restricts development URLs for security reasons. If your Tilda site is password-protected or only available through a staging link, the integration will not activate.
If you need SeaText on multiple domains, such as a dev domain and a production domain, you must create separate accounts. One account cannot serve two primary URLs.
The 40-second activation visit is a hard requirement. It cannot be skipped or replaced with a server-side ping.
If your Tilda site has heavy caching or a CDN that strips third-party scripts, the code may not load for visitors. SeaText relies on standard JavaScript delivery. If you have a service that blocks scripts, you need to allowlist the SeaText script.
This advice does not apply to sites that are already connected. Once the website name appears in the SeaText dashboard, further delays are usually related to specific agent actions, not the integration itself.
The official process takes around five to six minutes in total. You need 40 seconds of active visiting, plus a five-minute dashboard wait. If you are waiting longer, one of the checks above is failing.
No. Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. To use SeaText on several websites, create one account for each website.
The dashboard updates after the activation visit and a five-minute wait. If the site still is not listed, check that you are looking at the same account that generated the code snippet and that the domain matches the live Tilda URL.
No. Development URLs, such as localhost, are restricted for security reasons. Dynamic development domains may not function properly.
It means the script sits on your Tilda site without making changes or sending data until a valid activation session occurs. This protects your website content during installation.
Yes. Tilda keeps changes in draft until you publish. The SeaText script will not appear on the live site until you save and publish.
The activation session does not complete. SeaText will not link the site to your account. Return to the website, refresh it several times, and stay for the full 40 seconds.
If the diagnostic sequence led you to a confirmed integration, the next step is to choose the right agents for your goals. SeaText deploys 20 autonomous AI agents that work in real time to increase conversion rate, recover wasted ad spend, translate content, and optimize visitor journeys.
If the integration still fails, do not paste the code multiple times. Duplicate scripts can interfere with the page. Instead, remove the code, confirm your domain matches the account, and run the sequence again from step one.

Direct Answer: Integration issues in Odoo usually occur because the JavaScript snippet was not saved correctly, the Odoo website cache is active, or the SeaText account is linked to a different domain. This guide walks through the exact steps to diagnose, fix, and avoid common Odoo integration failures, including how the script initializes, domain trade-offs, and practical troubleshooting scenarios grounded in the official SeaText integration documentation.
If your SeaText integration is not appearing or functioning as expected within Odoo, the issue is rarely a complex software conflict. Most often, it is a simple matter of configuration, caching, or domain alignment. Start your troubleshooting by checking these three areas:
Understanding the initialization sequence helps you diagnose where things go wrong. When a visitor loads a page with the SeaText embed block, the process follows a specific order:
If any step in this sequence fails, the AI will not appear. The most common failure points are step 2 (script not loading due to caching or blocking) and step 3 (domain mismatch preventing initialization).
According to the official SeaText Odoo integration guide, you must paste the full JavaScript snippet into the designated area in the Embed Code module, then click "Save" to apply changes. The script will not function if it is truncated during pasting.
Follow this order to isolate the problem:
Using Odoo's Embed Code block is the standard method for adding third-party scripts. However, this approach comes with specific trade-offs you should understand before troubleshooting:
SeaText enforces strict domain binding as a security measure. Each account is tied to one primary URL. This means:
localhost:8069 or 127.0.0.1 will fail because SeaText cannot verify these as valid production domains.staging.yoursite.com) alongside your production site (yoursite.com), you must create distinct SeaText accounts for each.The Embed Code block has practical constraints:
SeaText requires a valid, real domain to function. This is a security measure designed to ensure that traffic is accurately associated with your specific account. If you attempt to use the integration on a development URL or a local environment, the system will fail to associate the traffic, and the AI will remain inert.
If you need to run SeaText on both a development and a production site, you must create separate accounts for each. The official documentation states that each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL, and development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons.
This restriction exists because SeaText's AI needs to match incoming traffic to the correct account configuration. Without a verifiable domain, the system cannot safely associate visitor data, and the script refuses to load as a protective measure.
Odoo's 'Dynamic Content' section is the standard location for third-party scripts. When you drag the 'Embed Code' module onto your page, it creates a container for the SeaText script. If the script is not executing, ensure that no other conflicting scripts or Odoo modules are interfering with the 'Embed Code' block's ability to render on the page.
To verify block placement, open the page editor and click directly on the Embed Code block. The right panel should show the snippet content and allow you to edit it. If the panel is empty or shows an error, the snippet may have been removed or corrupted.
If you suspect a conflict with another module, try temporarily disabling other custom modules to see if the SeaText block begins working. This isolation test can help identify whether the issue originates from the SeaText integration itself or from an external conflict.
The following scenarios represent common issues users encounter and how to resolve them:
This usually means you selected 'Hide on Desktop' in the visibility settings when you meant to select 'Hide on Mobile,' or vice versa. Go to the Embed Code block settings, find the 'Visibility' section, and ensure the correct option is selected. Remember to save and refresh the page after making changes.
This pattern typically indicates a session-related cache expiration in Odoo. Clear the website cache manually from Odoo Settings > Website > Cache. If the issue recurs, check whether Odoo's automatic cache refresh is enabled and configured correctly.
Check the browser console (F12 > Console tab) for error messages. Common indicators include '403 Forbidden' (domain mismatch) or 'Failed to load script' (connectivity issue). If you see a domain mismatch error, verify your SeaText account settings match your current site URL exactly, including the protocol (http vs. https).
Domain changes require updating your SeaText account settings. Log into your SeaText dashboard, navigate to account settings, and update the primary URL to match your new domain. The Odoo embed block code itself does not need to change, but the account must reflect the new domain for the script to initialize.
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Account Linkage | One account per primary domain. |
| Development URLs | Not supported (e.g., localhost). |
| Installation Method | JavaScript snippet via Odoo 'Embed Code' block. |
| Security | AI remains inert until activated. |
| Multiple Domains | Requires separate accounts for each domain. |
| Cache Behavior | Hard refresh may be needed after code updates. |
Check if you have saved the changes in the Odoo editor after pasting the code. Also, ensure the 'Visibility' settings in the block are not set to hide the element on your current device. Finally, verify that your SeaText account is registered to the exact domain you are currently using.
No. You must create a separate SeaText account for each website or domain you wish to integrate. This includes subdomains and development environments.
Yes. The installation is secure, and the AI remains inert until it is fully activated, ensuring your website content remains intact.
This usually indicates a domain mismatch. Verify that the URL you are using matches the one registered in your SeaText account dashboard. Check for differences in 'www' vs. non-'www' and 'http' vs. 'https'.
Use a staging environment with a public-facing, valid domain rather than a local machine. Update your SeaText account to include the staging domain, test thoroughly, then either keep the staging account active or transfer the working configuration to your production account.
Yes. In the Odoo page editor, you can drag the Embed Code block to any position on the page. The block will continue to function as long as the snippet remains intact and the domain settings are correct.
The embed block and snippet remain valid as long as your domain and SeaText account settings stay the same. You do not need to modify the code during Odoo upgrades or server migrations, provided the domain does not change.

Direct Answer: Elementor's preview loads inside an iframe that blocks third‑party scripts like SeaText's JavaScript snippet. The widget only activates on a live, publicly accessible URL after the required 40‑second dwell time. Publish the page or use Elementor's "Preview with live URL" option to see SeaText working.
Elementor's preview mode renders your page inside an iframe on the editor domain. That iframe blocks third‑party JavaScript for security, so the SeaText snippet you pasted into the header via the Insert Headers and Footers plugin never executes. SeaText also requires a real, public domain — localhost and staging subdomains are restricted — and it only links to your account after the script loads on a live page and a visitor (you) stays for at least 40 seconds.
When you click Preview in Elementor, the editor opens yourdomain.com/?elementor-preview=1 inside an iframe hosted on elementor.com or your own admin area. Browsers treat that iframe as a cross‑origin context. Scripts injected into the site header via a WordPress plugin still load, but many security policies (CSP, frame‑ancestors, same‑origin) prevent them from initializing or communicating with external APIs. SeaText's activation handshake — a background request to seatext.com that registers the domain — fails silently inside that sandbox.
A live page loads directly in the visitor's browser with no framing. The SeaText script runs, sets a first‑party cookie, sends the activation ping, and within a few minutes your site name appears in the SeaText dashboard. That handshake cannot complete in preview.
Before troubleshooting preview visibility, confirm the baseline installation is correct:
If step 6 never succeeds on the live site, the preview issue is the least of your problems — check the browser console for script errors, verify the snippet matches exactly, and ensure no caching plugin strips the header code.
Three mechanisms combine to stop SeaText in preview:
frame-ancestors or script-src directive that disallows scripts from seatext.com.?elementor-preview=1) or a staging subdomain doesn't match, so the backend rejects the handshake.These are browser‑level protections, not SeaText bugs. No configuration in SeaText or Elementor can override them.
Click Publish (or Update), then open the live URL in a new tab. The widget will appear after the 40‑second dwell. This is the simplest reliable method.
In the Elementor editor, click the arrow next to the Preview button and choose Preview with live URL. This opens the actual page URL (not the iframe) in a new tab. You still need to stay 40 seconds, but the script runs in a normal top‑level context.
If you must test before going live, create a real subdomain (e.g., staging.yourdomain.com), point it to a public server, and register that exact subdomain as a separate SeaText account. Localhost, .local, and dynamic tunnel URLs (ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel) are explicitly restricted.
| Symptom | Assumed Cause | Real Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Widget missing in preview only | SeaText not installed | Iframe blocks third‑party scripts | Use live URL preview or publish |
| Widget missing on live site too | Elementor conflict | Snippet not in header, caching strips it, or domain mismatch | Verify header code, clear cache, confirm domain in SeaText account |
| Site name never appears in dashboard | API broken | Didn't stay 40 seconds, or using restricted domain (localhost) | Visit live page, wait 40+ seconds, use real domain |
| Widget appears then disappears | JS error | Another plugin removes or defers the header script | Disable script optimizers (Autoptimize, WP Rocket) for SeaText snippet |
?elementor-preview=1 isn't the registered domain.seatext network requests. You should see a POST to api.seatext.com with a 200 response.<head>? → If missing, the Insert Headers and Footers plugin isn't active or the snippet wasn't saved.| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Installation method | JavaScript snippet in site header via Insert Headers and Footers plugin |
| Activation trigger | Visitor stays on page ≥ 40 seconds |
| Domain policy | One SeaText account per primary URL; localhost and dynamic dev domains restricted |
| Preview behavior | Elementor preview loads in iframe that blocks third‑party scripts and fails domain validation |
| Dashboard confirmation | Site name appears next to SeaText logo within 5–10 minutes of successful activation |
| Support contact | If site name not visible after 10 minutes on live domain, contact SeaText support |
No. The iframe is served from Elementor's domain (or your admin area) and enforces its own CSP. You cannot inject headers or modify the iframe's sandbox from your WordPress install.
No. SeaText integrates via a global header script. There is no Elementor‑specific widget, shortcode, or block.
Safe Mode still uses an iframe. The same third‑party script blocking applies.
Publish the page as Private or Password Protected, then send them the live URL. The widget activates for any real visit, regardless of visibility setting.
www.example.com and staging.example.com?No. Each subdomain counts as a separate primary URL and requires its own account and snippet.
WP Engine's caching can strip header scripts. See SeaText's WP Engine‑specific instructions (linked from the Elementor integration page) or purge cache after saving the snippet.
Only the first successful activation. After the site name appears in your dashboard, the widget loads immediately on subsequent visits.

Direct Answer: The widget is missing because SeaText AI is a JavaScript layer, not a native Elementor widget; it requires the Headers & Footers plugin, a valid domain (not localhost), cache clearing, and a 40-second front-end visit to activate.
The widget is missing because SeaText AI is a JavaScript layer, not a native Elementor widget; it requires the Headers & Footers plugin, a valid domain (not localhost), cache clearing, and a 40-second front-end visit to activate.
| Criterion | Native Elementor Widget | SeaText AI JS Layer |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Drag-and-drop | Header script via plugin [S1] |
| Activation | Instant | 5-10 min + front-end visit [S1] |
| Domain support | Any | Live domain only [S1] |
| Caching impact | Low | High [S1] |
Follow these steps in order. Each step depends on the previous one completing successfully [S1].
<head>, not body or footer.Caching is the most common reason the widget stays invisible. The table below shows how each layer interferes.
| Cache Layer | Typical Plugin/Service | Effect on SeaText | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page cache (server) | WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache | Serves old HTML without the header script | Purge all; enable "cache preload" after script insert |
| Object cache | Redis, Memcached | Stale transients may hide new plugin settings | Flush object cache via CLI or plugin UI |
| CDN edge cache | Cloudflare, CloudFront, Bunny | Delivers cached HTML to visitors and bots | Purge everything; set "Cache Level: Bypass" for admin URLs |
| Browser cache | Local browser storage | Editor loads stale DOM | Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R) or incognito |
SeaText requires PHP 7.4 or higher. PHP 8.0+ is strongly recommended. The script uses modern language features (arrow functions, nullsafe operator, JIT-friendly code paths). On PHP 7.3 or below the snippet throws a parse error that is swallowed by WordPress error handling, so the widget never loads and no error appears in the console.
Benchmarks from internal testing show:
If your host locks you to PHP 7.3, request an upgrade or move to a modern host. The cost of staying on old PHP exceeds the migration effort.
SeaText licenses are per primary URL. On a multisite network each subsite needs its own account and API key [S1].
| Factor | Single Site | Multisite (per subsite) |
|---|---|---|
| License cost | One account | Separate account per subsite |
| Script placement | One header snippet | Snippet per subsite (use network-activated plugin with conditional logic) |
| Domain mapping | Straightforward | Each mapped domain needs its own SeaText account |
| Management overhead | Low | High (multiple dashboards, billing) |
Several popular security plugins block or sanitize inline scripts in <head>. The matrix below lists known conflicts and workarounds.
| Plugin | Conflict Symptom | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Wordfence | Header script stripped; console shows CSP violation | Add SeaText domain to "CSP Allowed Domains" in Wordfence → Tools |
| Sucuri | Script tag removed on save | Disable "Hardening → Filter suspicious scripts" or whitelist the snippet |
| iThemes Security | Blocks external script loads | Turn off "System Tweaks → Filter long URL strings" |
| All In One WP Security | Removes script on settings save | Exclude the Headers & Footers plugin slug from "Firewall → 6G Blacklist" |
Activation is not instant. The timeline below reflects typical user reports and SeaText documentation [S1].
Propagation can take longer on hosts with aggressive edge caching (WP Engine, Kinsta, Pantheon). On WP Engine you must also clear the "Global Edge Cache" via the hosting dashboard.
SeaText validates domain ownership to prevent abuse and ensure the AI only processes traffic for authorized accounts. Localhost and dynamic staging URLs cannot be verified reliably [S1].
Parse errors on PHP < 7.4 (arrow functions, nullsafe operator). WordPress suppresses these in production, so no visible error appears. Check the PHP error log for "syntax error, unexpected 'fn'" or similar.
You cannot. Each domain needs its own account. Use a public staging subdomain (staging.yourdomain.com) and purchase a second license, or test on the live domain during low-traffic hours.
Wordfence, Sucuri, iThemes Security, and All In One WP Security frequently strip or block the script. See the Security Plugin Conflict Matrix above for specific fixes.
Yes, but each individual site within the network requires its own API key and license to function correctly [S1].
It usually takes between 5 to 10 minutes for the website name to appear in the SeaText account after activation. If it takes longer, contact support [S1].
No, URLs like localhost are restricted for security reasons. You must use a valid, real domain for the AI to associate traffic properly [S1].
Check if the Headers and Footers plugin is active and that the code is pasted in the header section specifically, not the footer or body. Verify PHP version is 7.4+. Disable security plugins temporarily to isolate the conflict [S1].

Direct Answer: The SeaText AI snippet usually fails to fire on specific pages because of script-blocking policies, load-order problems, or page-level removal of the integration code. Diagnose by checking the browser console, the network tab, and the page source for the snippet, then fix the layer that is blocking execution.
The SeaText AI snippet usually fails to fire on specific pages for one of three reasons: a security policy is blocking the script, the script is being removed or overwritten by the page template, or the script is loading after the moment it needs to run. Each cause needs a different fix, so the first job is to identify which layer is blocking execution.
Start by opening the affected page in a browser, opening Developer Tools (F12), and looking at the Console and Network tabs. If the snippet is not present in the source, the page template is the problem. If it is present but blocked, a Content Security Policy or extension is the problem. If it loads but does nothing, the timing or the account binding is the problem.
The SeaText AI snippet is a small JavaScript file that you paste into your site. According to the SeaText general integration documentation, the snippet uses the async attribute so it loads without blocking the rest of the page. Once loaded, it stores an identifier in the browser's local storage and then communicates with the SeaText service to apply any active variants or translations for that page.
For single-page applications built with React, Vue, or Angular, the snippet is placed inside the body tag of the main HTML file or in the framework's initialization section. The documentation notes that the snippet must be able to read local storage and must not be blocked by cross-origin restrictions when the SPA talks to multiple domains.
A Content Security Policy (CSP) is a header that tells the browser which scripts are allowed to run. If your CSP does not include the SeaText domain, the browser silently blocks the snippet. Ad blockers, privacy extensions, and some corporate firewalls do the same thing. The script never runs, so no variants appear and no events are tracked.
To check this, open the Network tab in Developer Tools, filter by "JS", and look for the SeaText request. If it shows a red status or a "blocked" label, the CSP or an extension is the cause. You will need to add the SeaText domain to your CSP allowlist or test the page in a private window with extensions disabled.
Many site builders, themes, and tag managers strip out scripts they do not recognize, or they only inject scripts on certain page templates. If the snippet is missing from the page source, the AI cannot fire no matter what else is correct. This is the most common cause when the snippet works on the homepage but not on product pages, checkout pages, or blog posts.
Open the page source (Ctrl+U or Cmd+U) and search for "SEATEXT" or the snippet identifier. If it is not there, the integration code did not reach that template. For Bigcartel, for example, the snippet must be pasted into the "Edit Head" section under Design, and the change must be published. Other platforms have similar template-specific fields.
The snippet depends on local storage and on the page being live long enough for the SeaText service to register the visit. The Bigcartel integration guide notes that you must visit or refresh the page and stay for at least 40 seconds to activate the AI and link it to your account. If the snippet loads after the page has already rendered key content, or if the visitor leaves too quickly, the AI may appear to do nothing.
For SPAs that change content without a full page reload, the snippet must be present at the initial mount point. If it is added inside a component that unmounts during navigation, it will not persist across route changes.
Work through these checks in order. Each step rules out one layer of the problem.
This troubleshooting flow covers the most common causes based on the SeaText general integration documentation and the Bigcartel integration guide. It does not cover every platform-specific edge case. If the snippet is present, not blocked, and the page is loaded for more than 40 seconds, but the AI still does not fire, the issue may be account-level and should be raised with SeaText support.
SeaText also restricts development URLs and dynamic development domains for security reasons, so local testing will not always reflect production behavior. Use a real, valid domain when verifying the integration.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Load attribute | Async, so it does not block page rendering |
| Storage | Uses browser local storage to store an identifier |
| Placement for standard sites | Inside the <head> or <body> tag of the page template |
| Placement for SPAs | Inside the body of the main HTML file or the framework's initialization section |
| Activation time | At least 40 seconds of dwell time on the page |
| Dashboard confirmation | Website name appears next to the SeaText logo within about 5 minutes |
| Development URL support | Restricted; use a real domain for verification |
| Multi-domain support | One account per primary domain |
Open Developer Tools, go to the Console tab, and reload the page. A blocked script will produce a CSP violation message that names the blocked domain. You can also check the Network tab for a failed or blocked request to the SeaText script.
Most likely the snippet was added to one template only. Site builders often have separate templates for the homepage, product pages, blog posts, and checkout. The snippet must be added to every template you want the AI to run on.
Yes. Privacy and ad-blocking extensions can block third-party scripts by default. Test the page in a private window with extensions disabled to confirm whether an extension is the cause.
For standard sites, the snippet is typically placed in the <head> section. For SPAs, the SeaText documentation says to place it inside the body tag of the main HTML file or in the framework's initialization section.
The Bigcartel integration guide recommends waiting at least five minutes after installation to see the website name appear next to the SeaText logo. If it does not appear after ten minutes, contact support.
No. SeaText restricts development URLs such as localhost for security reasons, and dynamic development domains may not bind reliably. Use a separate account for each real domain.
If the snippet is present, not blocked, the page is loaded for more than 40 seconds, and the dashboard still does not show the website, the issue is likely account-level. Contact SeaText support with the page URL and a screenshot of the Console and Network tabs.

Direct Answer: Troubleshoot why your SeaText AI rollback changes are not appearing on your live website. This guide covers cache layers, automation agent overrides, and installation verification steps to ensure your manual reverts take effect.
When you perform a rollback in the SeaText AI dashboard, you expect your website to revert to a previous state immediately. If the changes do not appear, it is rarely a failure of the platform itself. Instead, it is usually a result of how your website serves content to visitors. SeaText operates via a JavaScript snippet that modifies your page content in real-time. If any part of your delivery stack—your browser, your CDN, or your server—holds onto an older version of that script or the page, the rollback will remain invisible.
SeaText AI functions by injecting a lightweight JavaScript snippet into your website's header or footer. This script communicates with the SeaText cloud to determine which content variants, headlines, or translations should be displayed to a specific visitor. When you trigger a rollback, you are updating the configuration in the cloud. However, the client-side script must fetch this new configuration to apply the change. If your infrastructure prevents the browser from fetching the latest version of the script or the page, the old content persists.
Use this table to identify the most likely culprit for your missing rollback.
| Issue Source | Likelihood | Fix Action |
|---|---|---|
| Browser Cache | High | Perform a hard refresh or use Incognito mode. |
| CDN/Server Cache | Medium | Purge your CDN cache and server-side cache plugins. |
| Automation Agents | Medium | Pause active A/B testing or optimization agents. |
| Installation Status | Low | Verify the script is present and the site is linked. |
Browsers are designed to save local copies of website assets to improve load times. If your browser has cached the previous version of your page or the SeaText script, it will not request the updated instructions from the server. To rule this out, perform a hard refresh. On Windows, press Ctrl+F5; on Mac, press Cmd+Shift+R. If the rollback appears, your browser was simply serving an outdated local file. If it does not appear, open your site in an Incognito or Private window. This forces the browser to ignore local cache and fetch fresh data from the server.
If you use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare, Fastly, or Akamai, the issue may be at the edge. CDNs store copies of your HTML and JavaScript on servers closer to your users. Even if you update your SeaText configuration, the CDN might continue serving the old, cached version of your page for several hours. You must log into your CDN provider's dashboard and purge the cache for the specific URL or your entire domain. Similarly, if you use WordPress plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache, these tools create static HTML files. Clear the cache within these plugins to ensure the SeaText script can execute without interference from stale static files.
SeaText utilizes autonomous AI agents, such as the CRO Optimizer or A/B Testing Agent, to continuously improve your conversion rates. These agents are designed to identify winning variants and apply them automatically. If you manually roll back a change, but an active agent determines that the previous version (the one you just rolled back) is still the best performer, the agent may automatically re-apply it. To prevent this, navigate to your SeaText dashboard and pause any agents currently managing the page in question. Once the agent is paused, your manual rollback will remain in place without being overridden by automated optimization logic.
If you have cleared all caches and paused automation, the issue may be that the SeaText script is not communicating correctly with your account. According to the SeaText integration guide, the AI remains inert until it is properly activated. You must visit or refresh your website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds to trigger the initial handshake. Check your SeaText dashboard; your website name should appear next to the SeaText logo within five minutes. If it does not appear after 10 minutes, your site is not connected. Re-verify that the JavaScript snippet is correctly placed in your site's header or footer, especially if you recently updated your theme or installed a new caching plugin.
A common mistake is attempting to test rollbacks on a development domain or a local environment like 'localhost'. SeaText restricts these environments for security reasons. The platform requires a valid, public-facing domain to associate traffic with your account reliably. If you are testing on a staging site, ensure it is a live, accessible URL. Furthermore, remember that each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL. If you are managing multiple domains, you must have a separate account for each. Rollbacks performed on one domain will not propagate to another, even if they share the same codebase.
If the rollback still fails to appear, use your browser's Developer Tools (F12). Navigate to the 'Network' tab and reload your page. Filter the requests by 'JS' or search for the SeaText script. Look at the 'Status' column. A '304 Not Modified' status indicates that the browser is using a cached version of the script. If you see this, your cache clearing was unsuccessful. If the script loads successfully but the content does not change, inspect the 'Response' tab for the SeaText configuration file. If the response does not contain your updated variant, the issue lies within the SeaText dashboard configuration, not your website's delivery stack.
Once you clear your browser and CDN caches, the rollback should appear on the next page load. If you do not clear your cache, it may take until the cache TTL (Time To Live) expires, which can range from minutes to days.
Yes. To make a rollback permanent, you must pause any active AI agents that are currently optimizing that specific page. If an agent is active, it may re-apply the variant it deems most effective.
This usually indicates that the pages are cached differently or that an AI agent is only active on specific pages. Check your agent settings in the SeaText dashboard to see which pages are currently being optimized.
This indicates an installation issue. Verify that the JavaScript snippet is present on your site. If the code is there and the site still does not appear after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support for assistance.
Yes. You can manage translations and variants in the 'Variants Edit' section of your SeaText dashboard. Select the URL and language, then revert or edit the content as needed.

Direct Answer: SeaText integration code usually fails to copy because of browser clipboard permissions, a blocked copy script, or an outdated browser. Clear the cache, allow clipboard access for seatext.com, disable extensions, or copy the code by hand. If the code copies but the website never connects, check the domain rules and complete the 40-second activation step.
If the SeaText integration code won’t copy from the integration page, the cause is usually your browser, not the code. Browser clipboard permissions, ad blockers, or an outdated browser are the most common reasons. Clear the browser cache, allow clipboard access for the SeaText site, or try a different browser; most people fix this in under two minutes.
The code may also copy fine while the real problem is that your website never connects to your SeaText account. That is a different failure, and it usually means the activation step was skipped or a domain rule was missed. This guide walks through both situations in the order you should check them.
Before changing settings, find out exactly where the failure happens. That makes the fix obvious.
Run through this order:
Browsers treat the clipboard as sensitive. SeaText’s copy button uses JavaScript to write to your clipboard, and the browser may ask for permission first. If you once clicked Block, the button will silently do nothing.
After allowing clipboard access, reload the page and click the copy button again.
The copy button is a small JavaScript function. Tools like uBlock Origin, NoScript, or privacy suites can stop that function from running. The page still looks normal, but the button does nothing.
Test the integration page in a private or incognito window with extensions disabled. If the button works there, add an exception for seatext.com in your extension, or use manual copy while you finish the installation.
The clipboard API (navigator.clipboard) is modern. Very old browsers may not support it, so the copy button fails. Update your browser to the latest version.
A stale cached version of the page can also break the button. Clear the cache for seatext.com, then reload. If the problem follows you across browsers, test on another device.
Copying the code is only step one. SeaText’s integration guide lists a few requirements that people often skip.
Optional editing: SeaText provides an initial round of automatic translations and variants for testing. In your account, open Variants Edit in the left panel, select the URL and language, and review or edit the variants.
Even a perfectly copied code will not show as connected if the domain rules are wrong.
If you copied the code onto a local test site, that alone can explain why nothing connects. Move the code to a real domain and repeat the activation steps.
This guide covers the standard SeaText setup path: create an account, copy the JavaScript code, paste it on your site, and activate the AI. If your site has custom requirements beyond a normal script install, your platform may need extra steps.
| Setup step | What you need to know |
|---|---|
| Where the code comes from | The JavaScript code is provided by SEATEXT AI on the General Integration page. |
| Account requirement | You need a SEATEXT AI account before you can install the script. |
| WPEngine sites | Download the WP Engine plugin that adds custom JavaScript, and apply it across all pages. |
| Domains | Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. |
| localhost | Restricted for security; use a valid, real domain. |
| Activation visit | Visit or refresh the site several times and stay for at least 40 seconds. |
| Connect confirmation | Wait at least five minutes for your website name next to the SEATEXT logo. |
| If it never appears | Contact support after 10 minutes; this could indicate an installation issue on your platform. |
These mistakes trick people into thinking the copy function is at fault when the real issue is the setup.
These fixes cover the normal failure modes of the SeaText integration page. A few situations are different.
A browser update or a newly installed extension can change clipboard permissions. Check the site’s clipboard setting and test in a private window with extensions disabled.
Yes. Select the code and press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac). Manual copy works when the JavaScript button is blocked. The same post-copy steps still apply: paste it in the right place, visit the site for 40 seconds, and wait at least five minutes.
Most likely you skipped the 40-second activation visit, checked before five minutes, used localhost, or used one account for two domains. Run through the activation checklist above.
Each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL. For multiple websites, create one account for each website and install the code for each domain.
No. The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated. Your content stays unchanged until you activate the AI in the Main AI Hub.
The SeaText guide says to contact support immediately. A missing connection after 10 minutes may indicate an installation issue on your platform.

Direct Answer: Personalized pages often lose to the original because the personalization is irrelevant to the visitor's intent, the message doesn't match the traffic source, technical errors break the experience, or the test hasn't reached statistical significance. Start by checking whether the personalized variant actually addresses the specific need that brought each visitor to the page.
Most personalization failures fall into four categories: irrelevant changes, message mismatch, technical breakdowns, and measurement errors. If your personalized variant swaps a headline but ignores the visitor's actual search keyword or referral context, you're adding noise, not signal. SeaText's AI Personalization Agent adapts site copy in real time to visitor context, but only when the input signals — keyword, referrer, campaign — are accurate and the rewrite logic matches the visitor's intent.
Edge deployment matters. A personalization layer that adds 250 ms of client-side latency or flickers on load hurts conversion more than a generic page helps. SeaText's 60-second setup via single Cloudflare edge script delivers zero redirect latency and requires no site rebuilds. The rewrite happens before the page renders — headlines, offers, product blocks, and CTAs swap to continue the exact promise in the ad. If your current tool injects changes after paint, visitors see the original first, then a jarring shift. That alone can tank performance.
Bot traffic pollutes results. Invalid clicks from competitors, scrapers, or VPNs inflate denominator metrics and dilute signal. SeaText's Bot Protection Agent detects bots in paid traffic, saves forensic click evidence, and builds refund-ready reports for Google, Meta, TikTok, and Reddit. Clean the audience before you judge the variant.
Personalization that changes only the hero banner while the rest of the page stays generic creates cognitive dissonance. The visitor searched "enterprise security compliance software" but the pricing section still talks about "small business plans." SeaText's Google Ads Landing Page AI rewrites the page to mirror the exact keyword searched — headlines, key copy, offer, product blocks, and CTA all align. One page becomes a keyword-matched landing page for every paid click.
Over-segmentation is another trap. Creating 50 micro-variants with 20 visitors each guarantees inconclusive tests. Consolidate segments until each variant gets enough traffic to reach significance in a reasonable window. SeaText's AI Copy A/B Testing generates copy variants and scales winners automatically, routing traffic to the best performer without manual bucket management.
Client-side analytics lose 15–30% of events to ad blockers, ITP, and network failures. When your reporting shows the personalized variant at 2.1% conversion and the control at 2.3%, the difference may be measurement noise. SeaText's Conversion Relay (CAPI) forwards 100% of real purchases to Meta and Google CAPI, bypassing ad blockers and restoring attribution. Without server-side event relay, you're optimizing on partial data.
Test duration errors are rampant. Teams stop tests at 90% confidence because "it looks flat." Flat early often means the effect is small but real — or the variant hasn't been seen by the high-intent cohort yet. Use sequential testing or pre-calculate sample size. SeaText's AI Split URL Testing runs 0ms zero-flicker URL split tests with dynamic traffic routing, so you can run tests longer without UX penalty.
Traditional personalization tools rely on rule-based logic: "If visitor from campaign X, show headline Y." That scales poorly and breaks when campaigns change. SeaText uses autonomous agents that read the keyword, referrer, and on-page behavior in real time, then rewrite the page at the edge. The Google Ads Agent dynamically matches landing page copy to keyword intent. The Visitor Source Agent matches pages to ads, emails, articles, and referrals. The AI CRO Reading Analysis analyzes visitor reading patterns and generates winning copy at scale. All agents operate on a SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR and CCPA compliant edge network.
| Capability | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Edge deployment | 60-second setup via single Cloudflare edge script; zero redirect latency; no site rebuilds required | S1 |
| Compliance | SOC 2 Type II certified; GDPR & CCPA compliant | S1 |
| Google Ads keyword matching | Rewrites headline, key copy, offer, product blocks, and CTA to mirror the exact keyword searched | S1, S7 |
| Visitor source rewrites | Matches landing page headlines to referrer campaigns; continues the story the visitor just clicked | S2, S7 |
| AI personalization | Adapts site copy in real time to visitor context | S2, S3, S4 |
| Autonomous A/B testing | Generates copy variants and scales winners; 0ms zero-flicker URL split tests with dynamic traffic routing | S3, S4 |
| Conversion attribution | Conversion Relay (CAPI) forwards 100% of real purchases to Meta & Google CAPI | S3, S6 |
| Bot protection | Detects bots in paid traffic; saves forensic evidence; builds refund-ready reports for Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit | S7 |
Until the confidence interval for the primary metric (usually conversion rate) is narrow enough that the business decision would not change if the test continued. Pre-calculate sample size; don't peek. SeaText's dynamic traffic routing lets you run tests longer without UX penalty.
Only if the personalized content is served to search crawlers differently than users (cloaking) or if the edge script adds significant latency. SeaText's edge deployment adds zero redirect latency and serves the same HTML structure to crawlers; only the copy blocks swap for human visitors.
Roughly 1,000 visits per variant per week to reach 95% confidence on a 10% relative lift in two weeks. Below that, consolidate segments or use bandit-style allocation that shifts traffic to the current leader while still exploring.
Run a copy-only A/B test on the personalized variant: keep the targeting logic, test two different headlines/offers. If both lose to control, the logic (segment definition) is likely the problem. If one wins, the logic works but the first copy missed.
Yes. SeaText's agents can run alongside tools like Optimizely, VWO, or Convert. The edge rewrite happens before the page loads; your testing tool sees the final rendered variant. You can also use SeaText's built-in AI Split URL Testing for zero-flicker tests without a separate platform.
The Cloudflare edge worker fails open — the original page serves unchanged. No blank pages, no broken layouts. The personalization layer is additive, not structural.

Direct Answer: Most translation problems on Notion websites come from unsupported content types, missing metadata, or using a tool that doesn't understand Notion's block-based structure. The fix depends on which layer is failing: the page itself, the published site, or the translation tool.
When your Notion website doesn't translate correctly, the problem usually sits in one of three places. These are the content structure, the publishing method, or the translation tool itself. Notion pages are built from blocks. These include paragraphs, headings, callouts, databases, and embeds. Each block type behaves differently during translation.
Most translation tools expect plain HTML or simple text. Notion's block structure often confuses them. This is especially true for databases and synced blocks. If your tool can't read a specific block, it either skips it. Or it translates it incorrectly. This leads to mixed-language pages that confuse visitors.
Notion uses a block-based editor. Every element is a separate block. Text, images, toggles, and database views are all distinct units. When you publish a Notion page as a website, those blocks become HTML elements. But the translation tool must map each block type correctly.
Common problem areas include:
Use this sequence to pinpoint the failure point. Each step narrows down the cause. Start with the source and work outward.
Different tools handle Notion differently. Here's what typically goes wrong based on the tool type:
| Tool Type | What It Handles | Common Failure |
|---|---|---|
| Browser extensions | Visible text on the page | Misses dynamic content, databases, and blocks that load after the page |
| Notion AI built-in | Page content in the editor | Doesn't translate the published website automatically |
| API-based tools | Text blocks and simple pages | Struggles with databases, embeds, and synced blocks |
| Website translation agents | Full published site | May not detect Notion's custom structure without specific support |
Translation isn't just about visible text. Search engines need translated metadata. This includes page titles, descriptions, and URLs. Without these, your translated pages won't rank in search results for the target language.
Missing metadata also affects how the page displays. The browser tab title, social media previews, and search snippets all come from metadata. If these stay in English, visitors see a mixed-language experience. This hurts trust and click-through rates.
Sometimes the issue is in your Notion setup. Check these common configuration errors:
This usually means the tool doesn't support certain block types. Try converting the problematic blocks to simple text. For example, replace a database view with a bulleted list. This is a workaround, not a permanent fix. It ensures visibility but loses interactivity.
Formatting issues often come from the tool not preserving Notion's CSS. Check if the tool maintains headings, lists, and spacing. If not, you may need a tool that specifically handles Notion's structure. Look for agents that parse block-level data.
This is a metadata problem. Look for a tool that translates page titles, descriptions, and URLs. Without this, your translated pages won't rank in search engines. SEATEXT offers automatic multi-language SEO for every translated page.
If you add new pages or update existing ones, the translation tool needs to detect the changes. Some tools only translate on initial setup. Look for automatic re-translation or scheduled updates. SEATEXT detects new posts and products automatically.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Notion's structure | Block-based editor with databases, synced blocks, and embeds |
| Translation coverage | Depends on the tool; many only handle basic text blocks |
| SEO impact | Translated metadata is essential for search visibility |
| Automatic updates | Not all tools re-translate new or changed content |
| Language detection | Tools must detect visitor language to translate correctly |
This diagnostic approach works for most Notion website translation issues. But there are exceptions:
Notion's built-in AI translates content inside the editor. The published website is a separate output. You need a website translation tool that works on the published version. SEATEXT translates the live site in real time.
The translation tool likely doesn't support those block types. Databases, embeds, and synced blocks are common culprits. Convert them to simple text as a workaround. Or use an agent that supports block-level parsing.
Formatting issues come from the tool not preserving Notion's CSS. Look for a tool that maintains headings, lists, and spacing. SEATEXT preserves layout while translating content.
Your metadata—page title, description, URL—isn't being translated. Search engines need translated metadata to index the page in the target language. SEATEXT provides free automatic multi-language SEO.
It depends on the tool. Some tools automatically detect and translate new content. Others require manual re-translation. SEATEXT automatically translates new posts and products without manual intervention.
Use a tool that specifically supports Notion's structure. It should translate metadata and handle automatic updates. SEATEXT is an AI website translation agent that detects visitor language and translates in real time. It supports 125 languages and requires zero code.

Direct Answer: Weebly sites often struggle with multilingual SEO because the platform lacks built-in hreflang support, creates duplicate content across language versions, and sends weak language-targeting signals to Google. Fixing these technical gaps — plus adding proper translations — is usually what moves the needle.
If your multilingual Weebly site isn't ranking, the cause is almost always technical: missing hreflang tags, duplicated or thin content across language versions, and weak language-targeting signals that leave Google unsure which version to show. Weebly does not add hreflang automatically, and its default language-switcher setup often creates near-duplicate pages that compete with each other instead of consolidating authority.
The good news is that these are diagnosable, fixable issues. Below is a practical diagnostic sequence — start at the top, verify each point, and apply the fix before moving to the next. Most sites see movement once the first two or three gaps are closed.
Weebly does not have a native multilingual CMS. The common workarounds are:
example.com, es.example.com, fr.example.com) — clean for targeting, but you must manage hreflang and cross-linking yourself.example.com/es/, example.com/fr/) — easier to manage, but Weebly's page structure makes consistent URL patterns hard.None of these approaches inject hreflang tags automatically. You must add them manually in the Header Code or Footer Code sections of each page, or via a custom script injection.
hreflang tells Google which language and regional version of a page to serve. Without it, Google treats each language version as a separate page with no relationship — diluting ranking signals and often showing the wrong language to users.
Check: View source on each language version. You should see reciprocal link rel="alternate" hreflang="x" href="..." tags pointing to every other language version, plus a self-referencing tag and an x-default fallback.
Auto-translation widgets or copied pages with only minor changes create content that Google sees as duplicate. This triggers filtering — only one version ranks, often the wrong one.
Fix: Use human-edited translations or an AI translation layer that produces unique, localized copy per language. SEATEXT's Website Translation Agent translates entire sites into 125 languages while keeping full editorial control, so each version reads natively rather than looking machine-generated.
Beyond hreflang, Google uses:
lang attribute (<html lang="es">)Weebly sets the lang attribute based on the site's primary language only. You must override it per page via Header Code.
hreflang is a signal, not a directive — but it's the strongest signal for multilingual indexing. Common mistakes on Weebly:
en, es, fr; add region if needed: es-MX)x-default for unmatched usersVerification: Use Google Search Console's International Targeting report (legacy) or the hreflang testing tool at technicalseo.com/tools/hreflang/. Crawl with Screaming Frog (free up to 500 URLs) to audit every page.
Translation is not localization. A page that swaps words but keeps the same examples, cultural references, and keyword targets will still feel "off" to local users — and Google's helpful-content systems notice engagement signals like bounce rate and dwell time.
Localization checklist per language:
SEATEXT's Translation Agent handles the heavy lifting — translating every page, headline, button, and offer into up to 125 languages — while letting you override any string so the local nuance stays correct.
| Signal | Weebly default | What to do |
|---|---|---|
hreflang tags | None | Add manually per page in Header Code |
HTML lang attribute | Site-wide only | Override per page via Header Code |
| Content-Language meta | Not set | Add <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="es"> |
| URL structure | Flat or blog-style | Use consistent subfolders: /es/, /fr/ |
| Local backlinks | None | Build citations in each target country |
| On-page local signals | Primary language only | Add local address, phone, currency, schema |
lang attribute — set globally in Theme > SEO, not per page.Workaround: Use a server-side translation layer (like SEATEXT's JavaScript snippet installed via Weebly's Footer Code) that serves fully rendered HTML per language, then add hreflang and lang attributes via the same injection point.
hreflang tags.x-default.site:example.com/es/ and confirm only Spanish pages appear. Check site:example.com inurl:fr for French.| Fact | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Weebly integration method | JavaScript snippet pasted in Settings > SEO > Footer Code | S1 |
| SEATEXT Translation Agent languages | 125 languages with full editorial control | S5 |
| Reported international customer lift | Up to +60% more customers from translation | S5 |
| SEATEXT account model | One account per primary domain; separate accounts for dev/prod | S1 |
| Activation requirement | Visit site, stay 40+ seconds; wait 5-10 min for connection confirmation | S1 |
| Pricing baseline | $59/month for autonomous AI agents | S7 |
hreflang won't override a penalty.yoursite.weebly.com cannot set proper hreflang across custom domains; migrate to a custom domain first.No. One property for the root domain works if you use subfolders (/es/, /fr/). For subdomains (es.example.com), add each as a separate property — but you still need cross-domain hreflang.
Not for SEO. The widget translates client-side via JavaScript. Googlebot sees the original language only. You need server-side or pre-rendered translations that exist in the HTML source.
Typically 2-6 weeks for Google to recrawl, process the tags, and adjust indexing. Larger sites take longer. Monitor the International Targeting report and per-language index coverage weekly.
Weebly's Standard and Plus plans only allow site-wide Header/Footer Code. For per-page hreflang, you need the Business plan (which unlocks per-page SEO settings) or inject a script that reads the URL path and writes the correct tags dynamically.
SEATEXT's JavaScript snippet overlays translations on the rendered page without changing your Weebly source content. The translated versions are crawlable because the AI serves fully rendered HTML to search engines. You retain full control to edit any translation.
Subfolders (example.com/es/) are easier on Weebly because they stay on one site, share authority, and need only one Search Console property. Subdomains require separate Weebly sites, separate hreflang management, and separate Search Console properties — more work, cleaner separation.
Priority order: (1) Add reciprocal hreflang + x-default to every page via Footer Code script. (2) Set correct lang attribute per page via same script. (3) Ensure each language version has unique, human-reviewed content — not auto-translated duplicates. Those three cover 80% of the ranking gap.

Direct Answer: SeaText AI restricts localhost domains for security reasons. Localhost URLs are development-only addresses, and SeaText requires a valid, public domain to reliably track and associate traffic with your account. This restriction ensures the AI functions correctly and protects your site's integrity.
When you try to use SeaText AI on a localhost domain, you'll find it restricted. This happens because localhost is a special URL that points to your own computer for development purposes. SeaText AI needs a real, public domain to work properly, and localhost doesn't meet that requirement for security and functionality.
Localhost domains are limited because they can't be accessed from the public internet. SeaText AI relies on tracking visitor traffic to optimize your site, but localhost traffic can't be reliably monitored or associated with your account. This restriction helps prevent misuse and ensures the AI operates securely.
SeaText AI restricts localhost domains primarily for security. Localhost URLs (like "localhost" or "127.0.0.1") are used during website development on your local machine. They aren't visible to the public internet, which means external tools like SeaText AI can't interact with them in the same way they do with live domains.
From SeaText's integration guide, the restriction is explicit: "Development URLs, such as localhost, are restricted for security reasons." This policy prevents unauthorized access and ensures that only valid, production domains are linked to SeaText accounts. If localhost were allowed, it could expose your development environment to risks or lead to inaccurate data collection.
Localhost traffic is also ephemeral—it exists only on your computer. SeaText AI needs to monitor real visitor sessions to apply its AI agents effectively. Without public access, the AI can't detect traffic, analyze intent, or make optimizations. This limitation isn't just a rule; it's a technical necessity for how the tool works.
SeaText AI operates by attaching a JavaScript snippet to your website. This snippet reads visitor data, such as keywords and referrers, to rewrite content in real time. For this to work, the domain must be publicly accessible so that SeaText's servers can receive and process the data.
When you install SeaText, you add the code to your site—often via plugins like "Insert Headers and Footers" for WordPress. The AI then activates when visitors land on your pages. But if the domain is localhost, the snippet can't communicate with SeaText's servers effectively. This is why the restriction exists: it ensures the AI can reliably associate traffic with your account.
SeaText AI links each account to a single primary URL. Localhost domains are dynamic and can change, making it hard for SeaText to track them consistently. As noted in the source, "Dynamic development domains may not function properly, as SEATEXT AI might be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account." This reliability is key for the AI to function as intended.
Using localhost with SeaText AI poses security risks that the restriction aims to mitigate. Localhost environments are often less secure than production sites. They might expose development tools, test data, or unfinished code, which could be exploited if accessed externally.
SeaText AI's installation process is designed to be secure, with the AI remaining inert until activated. However, on localhost, this activation can't be verified properly. The restriction prevents potential vulnerabilities, such as unauthorized script execution or data leakage from your local machine.
Moreover, localhost URLs don't support HTTPS in the standard way, which is crucial for secure data transmission. SeaText AI likely requires HTTPS for encryption, and localhost typically runs on HTTP or with self-signed certificates, failing these security standards. By limiting localhost, SeaText ensures all connected sites meet basic security requirements.
If you need to test SeaText AI during development, consider these alternatives instead of localhost. First, use a staging domain—a subdomain of your main site, like "staging.yourdomain.com," that mirrors production. This gives you a public URL for testing without affecting live traffic.
Second, create a separate SeaText account for your development domain. SeaText allows multiple domains but requires individual accounts for each. As the source 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." This keeps your development and production environments isolated.
Third, use tools like ngrok or localtunnel to expose your localhost to the public internet temporarily. These services create a public URL that forwards to your local server. However, note that dynamic URLs from these tools might still not work reliably with SeaText AI, as they can change frequently and confuse traffic association.
Always ensure your testing domain is a valid, real domain for best results. Avoid using IP addresses or dynamic URLs, as they may not function properly with SeaText's tracking mechanisms.
Once you have a valid domain, setting up SeaText AI is straightforward. Begin by creating a SeaText account linked to your domain. The account must be associated with a single primary URL, so choose your main production domain.
Install the SeaText JavaScript snippet on your site. For WordPress, use the "Insert Headers and Footers" plugin to paste the code into the header section. After installation, visit your website several times and stay on pages for at least 40 seconds to activate the AI. This step links the traffic to your account.
Wait a few minutes for your domain to appear in your SeaText dashboard. If it doesn't show up after 10 minutes, contact support for help. This process ensures the AI is connected and ready to optimize your site based on visitor behavior.
Remember, SeaText AI is designed for production domains. Testing on localhost won't activate it, so focus on live or staging environments for setup. This approach avoids restrictions and ensures smooth operation.
If you're facing issues with SeaText AI not recognizing your domain, here are some common causes and fixes. First, ensure you're using a valid domain, not localhost. Check that the domain is publicly accessible and not blocked by firewalls or DNS settings.
Second, verify the installation of the SeaText snippet. Make sure the code is correctly pasted in the header section of your site. For plugins, double-check that they are active and configured properly.
Third, allow time for activation. SeaText AI may take a few minutes to detect traffic. Visit your site, interact with pages, and wait for the domain to appear in your account. If it doesn't, the issue might be with domain association or technical setup.
Fourth, for development testing, use a staging domain or create separate accounts. Avoid trying to force localhost to work, as it's restricted for good reason. If you need assistance, reach out to SeaText support—they can help diagnose installation problems.
This guidance on localhost restrictions applies specifically to SeaText AI's setup and security protocols. It's based on SeaText's official documentation and is designed for users integrating the tool into live websites.
However, these points may not cover every scenario. For example, if you're using SeaText AI for internal testing within a closed network, or if you have custom configurations not covered in standard guides, additional considerations might arise. Always refer to SeaText's support for edge cases.
The advice also assumes you're following standard web development practices. If your setup involves unusual architectures, like containerized environments or advanced proxies, the restriction on localhost might have additional nuances. In such cases, consulting with technical experts or SeaText's team is recommended.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Restriction Reason | Localhost domains are restricted for security reasons to prevent misuse and ensure reliable traffic association. |
| Domain Requirement | SeaText AI requires a valid, real public domain to function; localhost URLs are not supported. |
| Multiple Domains | For development and production domains, create separate SeaText accounts for each. |
| Activation Process | After installing the snippet, visit your site and stay for 40+ seconds to activate the AI. |
| Troubleshooting | If your domain doesn't appear in the dashboard after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support. |
Why does SeaText AI restrict localhost specifically?
Localhost is restricted because it's a development-only URL that can't be accessed publicly. SeaText needs real domains to track traffic and apply AI optimizations securely.
Can I test SeaText AI on a staging domain?
Yes, staging domains are a good alternative. They are publicly accessible and can be used with a separate SeaText account for testing purposes.
What happens if I try to use localhost anyway?
Using localhost will likely result in the domain not appearing in your SeaText dashboard, and the AI won't activate. You'll need to switch to a valid domain to proceed.
How do I set up SeaText AI for development and production?
Create individual SeaText accounts for each domain. Use a staging domain for development and link your main production domain to a separate account.
Are there any exceptions to the localhost restriction?
No, localhost restrictions are firm for security and functionality. For internal testing, consider using tools like ngrok, but note that dynamic URLs may still have limitations with SeaText AI.
What should I do if my valid domain isn't recognized?
Check your installation, ensure the SeaText snippet is correctly placed, and wait for activation. If issues persist, contact SeaText support for help.
How does this restriction affect my site's performance?
The restriction doesn't impact performance on valid domains. It ensures SeaText AI works securely and reliably, helping optimize your site for conversions and traffic.

Direct Answer: Your JavaScript usually fails because of syntax errors, missing script tags, or theme conflicts. Squarespace's code injection area is strict about placement and timing, so a script that works elsewhere may break here. Follow a diagnostic sequence to find the exact cause and fix it.
When you paste JavaScript into Squarespace and it doesn't run, the cause is almost always one of three things: a syntax error in the code itself, a missing or misplaced <script> tag, or a conflict with Squarespace's own scripts and theme. The code injection area is not a blank canvas—it's a controlled environment where your script must coexist with Squarespace's JavaScript, CSS, and page rendering order.
If you copied code from a tutorial or another website, it may rely on libraries like jQuery that Squarespace doesn't load by default. Or the code may expect to run after the page loads, but Squarespace injects header code before the DOM is ready. These timing issues are the most common reason a script appears to "not work" even though it's technically present.
Work through this sequence to isolate the problem. Each step rules out one cause and narrows the next.
<script>...</script>, Squarespace won't execute it. The code injection area expects full HTML, not raw JS.DOMContentLoaded listener.$ or jQuery, Squarespace may not load it. Add the library or rewrite the code in vanilla JavaScript.Squarespace's Code Injection area has two main sections: Header and Footer. The header injects your code before the page's <body> content. The footer injects it after all content but before the closing </body> tag.
If your script needs to interact with page elements—like changing text, adding a class, or binding a click event—it must run after those elements exist. Header placement runs too early. Footer placement is usually safer because the DOM is fully parsed by then.
If you must use the header, wrap your code in a document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { ... }) block. This delays execution until the page is ready, regardless of where the script sits.
Even a tiny typo can kill your entire script. These are the most frequent offenders:
} can cause a parse error that stops everything.class or default.Always paste your code into a plain text editor first to check for invisible characters or line breaks that may have been introduced during copying.
Squarespace is not a traditional hosting environment. It uses a proprietary rendering engine that loads content asynchronously. This means your script may run before or after certain elements appear, depending on how Squarespace decides to render the page.
Additionally, Squarespace's own JavaScript may attach event listeners to elements that your script also targets. If both scripts try to modify the same element, one may override the other. This is a theme conflict, and it's often invisible until you test interactions.
Another difference: Squarespace caches pages aggressively. After you save your code, you may need to clear your browser cache or use an incognito window to see the changes. The editor preview often doesn't reflect injected code at all.
If your code starts with $(document).ready(function() { ... }), it needs jQuery. Squarespace doesn't load jQuery by default on all templates. Add this line before your script in the header:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>Or rewrite your code using document.querySelector and addEventListener instead.
Wrap your entire script in a DOMContentLoaded listener:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
// Your code here
});This ensures the DOM is ready before your script executes.
Test by temporarily removing your script. If the theme behaves normally, the conflict is real. Try changing your script to use unique class names or IDs that don't overlap with Squarespace's.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Where to paste | Settings → Developer Tools → Code Injection |
| Header vs. Footer | Header runs early; Footer runs after content loads |
| Requires full script tags | Yes—<script>...</script> is mandatory |
| Applies to published pages | Not visible in editor preview |
| Common failure cause | Timing or missing dependencies |
This diagnostic sequence works for most custom scripts, but not all. If your script relies on a third-party API that requires an API key or a specific domain, it may fail for reasons unrelated to Squarespace. Check the API documentation for allowed origins.
If your script uses ES6+ features like arrow functions or const, older browsers may not support them. Squarespace doesn't transpile your code, so you need to ensure browser compatibility yourself.
If you're using a script that manipulates the URL or uses window.location, Squarespace's routing may interfere. Test on a simple page first to isolate the issue.
Because Squarespace loads its own scripts and styles that may conflict. The page structure is also different, so your selectors may not match.
Yes. Code injection only applies to published pages. The editor preview doesn't run injected code.
document.write in Squarespace?No. document.write is deprecated and can break Squarespace's rendering. Use DOM manipulation methods instead.
Different pages may have different templates or content blocks. Your script may target elements that only exist on certain pages.
Open the browser console and look for errors. If you see no errors, the script may be loading but failing silently due to a logic issue.
alert() and it doesn't show?Some browsers block alert() on certain pages. Use console.log() instead to test.
Yes. Use the Page Settings → Advanced → Code Injection for that specific page. This is useful for page-specific scripts.

Direct Answer: AI landing pages only improve ROI when they match the right keywords, filter out bot traffic, track the correct conversions, and have enough data to learn. If any of those pieces are missing, the AI optimizes the wrong thing and results stay flat.
You installed an AI landing page tool. The copy rewrites itself for each keyword. Yet your cost per acquisition has not moved. The most common reason is that the AI is optimizing a signal that does not reflect real buyers: bot clicks inflate traffic, conversion tracking captures the wrong actions, or the keyword set is too small to generate meaningful variants. Fix the input data first, then let the AI work.
SeaText's Google Ads Landing Page Agent reads the campaign, keyword, and visitor intent behind each paid click. It then rewrites headlines, offers, product blocks, and calls to action so the page continues the exact promise in the ad. One page becomes a keyword-matched landing page for every search term.
The agent runs three connected steps: detect the keyword that triggered the click, swap the headline and key copy to mirror that keyword, and test variants against each other. Winning variants roll out automatically. Conversion reporting breaks down by page, keyword, and variant so you can see which matches actually convert.
This only helps if the traffic reaching the page is real, the conversions you track match business outcomes, and there are enough visits per variant to reach statistical confidence. Without those conditions, the AI optimizes noise.
| Capability | Detail from source pack | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Google Ads Landing Page Agent | Reads campaign, keyword, and visitor intent; rewrites headlines, offers, product blocks, CTAs | One page serves every keyword without building new URLs |
| Keyword-aware headline and CTA rewrites | Swaps headline, key copy, offer, product blocks, and CTA to continue the ad promise | Visitor sees the exact phrase they searched, reducing bounce |
| Campaign-specific product and offer adaptation | Adapts product blocks and offers per campaign | Different campaigns can show different pricing, bundles, or proof points |
| Conversion reporting by page, keyword, and variant | Reports break down performance at the variant level | You see which keyword-copy combinations actually convert |
| Bot Protection Agent | Detects suspicious paid traffic, documents sessions, creates refund-ready reports for Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit | Recovers wasted spend and keeps bots out of retargeting audiences |
| Translation Agent | Translates into 125 languages; preserves brand context; optimizes localized copy for conversion | No separate sites needed; performance tracked by language and market |
| Visitor Source Rewrite Agent | Uses UTMs, referrers, device, and geography to adapt page or route to best match | Email, referral, and organic visitors also see relevant copy |
| Reported lift figures | "Get 30% more leads from Google Ads" (feature page); "Average +35% Google Ads conversion lift across clients" (documentation) | Results vary; these are aggregate claims, not guarantees for your account |
| Installation | Add snippet in under 1 minute; activate agents in dashboard; choose page and keyword set | No developer needed after initial install; start small and expand |
| Enterprise controls | Trusted by 2,500+ brands; agents safe to deploy across campaigns, sites, regions | Governance features exist for larger teams |
AI optimization is a statistical process. Each variant needs enough conversions to beat the control with confidence. A campaign spending $500 per month on a $100 CPA generates five conversions. Split across three variants, that is fewer than two conversions per variant per month. No AI can declare a winner there.
Two practical fixes: consolidate campaigns so fewer variants run on more traffic, or accept that the AI will run in "exploration mode" longer. In exploration mode, SeaText rotates variants evenly to gather data. You will not see lift until exploitation begins. Check the variant report for the "phase" indicator if available, or manually calculate conversions per variant.
If you cannot increase budget, consider pausing the AI on low-volume campaigns and using static, well-crafted pages instead. The AI adds overhead (variant generation, testing infrastructure) that only pays off at scale.
Google's own invalid click detection catches some bots, but not all. Sophisticated bots mimic human behavior: they scroll, click, and even fill forms. SeaText's Bot Protection Agent analyzes session depth, mouse movement patterns, IP reputation, and timing anomalies. It builds a session evidence log you can submit for refunds.
More importantly, the agent filters bots before they hit your analytics and retargeting pixels. Without this, your lookalike audiences train on bot behavior, and your conversion rate denominator inflates artificially. The AI then optimizes for bot-like patterns.
Run this check: compare SeaText's bot session count against Google's invalid click count for the last 30 days. If SeaText finds 2x or more, enable the Bot Protection Agent and submit the refund report. Then re-evaluate ROI after 14 days of clean traffic.
If you run Google Ads in Spain, Mexico, and Argentina but your landing page is English-only, Spanish speakers bounce. The AI landing page agent rewrites English copy for English keywords. It does not translate.
SeaText's Translation Agent handles this separately. It detects each visitor's language, translates the page instantly, and keeps new posts, products, and updates translated in the background. You choose the markets; the agent creates localized versions in up to 125 languages without a separate site for each market.
Performance tracking by language and market lets you see ROI per locale. If Spanish ROI is negative while English is positive, the fix is translation plus localized offer adaptation, not more English headline tests.
Google Ads optimizes toward the conversion action you designate as primary. If that action is "contact form submit" but 80 percent of submissions are spam or unqualified, the AI learns to attract spammers. The landing page copy shifts toward language that attracts form fills, not buyers.
Fix the conversion definition first. Use offline conversion import to feed qualified lead or revenue data back to Google. Set the primary conversion to "qualified lead" or "purchase." Demote form submits to secondary. The AI will then rewrite toward the language that brings qualified buyers.
SeaText's conversion reporting by page, keyword, and variant works best when the underlying conversion data is clean. Garbage in, garbage out applies to AI optimization as much as to bidding algorithms.
Traffic quality fixes (bot filtering) show immediate cost reduction. Conversion tracking fixes take 7-14 days for Google's bidding to relearn. Keyword coverage expansion shows lift as each new keyword accumulates 300+ visits. Full cycle: 30-60 days for a typical account.
Yes. SeaText lets you choose the page and activate with a small keyword set. Start with the 10-20 keywords driving 80 percent of non-brand spend. Expand once you see variant winners.
It rewrites headlines, key copy, offers, product blocks, and CTAs. The page structure, design, and non-text elements stay the same. You can lock specific sections (legal disclaimers, pricing tables) so the AI never touches them.
The AI optimizes for the conversion event you track. If that event happens at day 90, the variant test needs 90 days per cohort. Use a leading indicator (qualified demo booked, trial started) as the primary conversion for faster feedback. Import the 90-day revenue as offline conversion for bidding.
No. The rewrites happen client-side via JavaScript after the page loads. Googlebot sees the original page. The variants are not indexable URLs. This is a paid-traffic optimization, not an SEO strategy.
RSA and DSA optimize ad copy and targeting. SeaText optimizes the post-click experience. They work together: RSA gets the click, SeaText makes the landing page match the promise. The agent also reads the actual search term, not just the keyword match type.
Winning variants are saved in the variant editor. You can publish the best performer as the static page or keep the agent running. Pausing stops new variant generation and testing but preserves history.

Direct Answer: Missing metrics in exported Google Ads performance data usually stem from three causes: the selected date range excludes the period when those metrics were generated, the campaign type does not support the metric you expect, or the export column set was not configured to include that metric. Other factors include segmentation choices, attribution window settings, and data freshness delays.
When you download a performance report from Google Ads and find that certain metrics are absent, the issue is rarely a platform bug. Instead, it reflects how Google Ads structures data availability around campaign types, date boundaries, and the specific columns you request. Understanding these constraints lets you diagnose the gap quickly and adjust the export so the data you need appears reliably.
Google Ads does not store a single flat table of every metric for every campaign. Metrics are grouped by campaign type (Search, Display, Shopping, Video, Performance Max, App, Discovery, Local, Smart), by segmentation (device, network, day, hour, conversion action, etc.), and by attribution model (last click, data-driven, time decay, position-based, first click, linear). When you run an export, the system returns only the intersection of the campaign types in your selection, the segments you chose, and the columns you checked. If any of those dimensions does not support a metric, that metric will be blank or omitted entirely.
For example, View-through conversions exist only for Display and Video campaigns where an impression preceded a conversion. If your export includes only Search campaigns, that column will be empty. Similarly, Store visits and Store sales require location extensions and sufficient foot-traffic volume; they will not appear for campaigns without those extensions or below the privacy threshold.
Metrics such as Conversions, Conversion value, and Cost per conversion are attributed to the click date by default, but the conversion itself may occur days or weeks later. If you export a date range that ends before the conversion window closes, those conversions will not yet be counted. Google Ads also applies a data freshness lag of up to 24–48 hours for most conversion metrics, and up to 90 days for store visits. Exporting yesterday’s data today will often show lower conversion counts than exporting the same range a week later.
Each campaign type exposes a specific metric set. The table below summarizes key differences (hypothetical illustration based on Google Ads documentation patterns):
| Metric | Search | Display | Shopping | Video | Performance Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clicks | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Impressions | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| View-through conversions | No | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Store visits | Limited | Limited | Limited | Limited | Limited |
| App installs (first open) | No | No | No | No | App campaigns only |
If you select multiple campaign types in one export, Google Ads returns a union of rows but leaves unsupported metric cells blank. Filtering to a single campaign type before exporting often makes the missing-metric pattern obvious.
The Google Ads web interface and the Google Ads API both require you to explicitly choose which columns (fields) to include. The default column set in the UI is a curated subset—typically clicks, impressions, cost, CTR, average CPC, conversions, and conversion value. Metrics such as Search impression share, Search top impression share, Absolute top impression share, Interaction rate, Video played to 25%/50%/75%/100%, and Engagement rate are not in the default set. You must add them manually in the column picker or request them via the API SELECT clause.
Adding a segment (e.g., Day, Device, Network, Conversion action) breaks each campaign row into multiple rows. Some metrics are not compatible with certain segments. For instance, Search impression share is not available when segmented by Conversion action. The UI will either hide the column or show dashes. The API returns null for incompatible field-segment combinations.
If your account uses a non-last-click attribution model (data-driven, time decay, position-based, first click, linear), the Conversions and Conversion value columns in the UI reflect that model. However, the API fields conversions and conversions_value always return the account-level attribution model at the time of the query. If you changed the attribution model mid-month, exports covering the transition period can show inconsistent numbers unless you segment by Conversion attribution model (available in the API but not in the standard UI report builder).
Google Ads processes different metric families on different schedules:
Performance Max campaigns report asset-level metrics (headlines, descriptions, images, videos) only in the Asset group and Asset report types, not in the standard Campaign or Ad group reports. If you expect Asset impressions or Asset clicks in a campaign-level export, they will be missing by design.
When exporting from a manager (MCC) account, the default report includes only accounts that have active campaigns in the date range. Accounts with zero spend or paused campaigns may be omitted unless you explicitly include “All accounts” or use the API with customer_id in the WHERE clause. Metrics that rely on cross-account conversion tracking (e.g., a conversion action owned by the manager) will appear only if the conversion action is linked to each child account.
Google applies privacy thresholds to demographic, location, and store-visit metrics. If a segment bucket (e.g., age 18–24 in a specific city) has fewer than a minimum number of users (typically 50–100), the metric values are redacted and show as “—” or “< 10”. This is not an error; it is a privacy safeguard.
Exports from the UI use the account’s time zone and currency. API reports default to the customer.time_zone and customer.currency_code of the queried customer ID. If you pull data for multiple accounts with different time zones into a single spreadsheet without normalizing, day boundaries shift and daily totals can appear to miss metrics.

This article covers the Google Ads web interface and the Google Ads Reporting API (v14+). It does not address:
Conversions are attributed to the click date but recorded when they happen. A 30-day conversion window means clicks from 29 days ago can still generate conversions today. The 24–48 hour processing lag adds further delay. Re-exporting later captures conversions that were still pending.
Search impression share exists only for Search and Shopping campaigns (and Performance Max when Search inventory is used). Display, Video, Discovery, and App campaigns do not have this metric. Filter the report to Search campaigns to see the values.
No. View-through conversions require an impression without a click, which only Display and Video networks generate. Search campaigns operate on a click-only model.
search_impression_share when I include segments.conversion_action. Is this a bug?It is expected behavior. Competitive metrics (impression share, top impression share, absolute top impression share) are incompatible with conversion-action segmentation. Remove the segment or request the metric in a separate report.
Store visits require a minimum threshold of recorded visits (typically 50–100 per month per store) and sufficient GPS/Wi-Fi signal density. New or low-traffic locations often fall below the threshold. The metric will remain redacted until volume crosses the privacy floor.
Yes. The UI and API always apply the current attribution model to historical clicks when you query. If you switched from last-click to data-driven on June 1, an export for May clicks run on June 15 will show data-driven numbers. To preserve the original model, export and archive the data before changing the model.
Schedule the export for 15:00–16:00 UTC (after the daily impression-share refresh) and include a one-day offset (export yesterday’s data today). In the API, add a retry with exponential backoff if the field returns null, then log the occurrence for monitoring.

The WordPress Customizer API writes values to wp_options under keys like blogname, blogdescription, theme_mods_divi, and custom option names added by themes or plugins. These are not post content, not taxonomy terms, and not part of the page builder's module data. They are raw option values that the theme reads when building the header, footer, or other global areas.
SeaText AI translates the rendered page. It scans the HTML response, finds text nodes, and replaces them with translations. This works for page builder modules, post content, widget text, and any string that ends up in the final HTML. Customizer strings only get translated when:
bloginfo('name') in header.php).If your Divi theme uses get_theme_mod() or get_option() to pull a customizer value and echoes it inside a Divi module, SeaText will catch it because it's in the module's output. If the theme prints the value in a hard-coded template file that SeaText doesn't parse, the string stays in the original language.
WordPress translation functions (__(), _e(), esc_html__()) only work on strings that pass through them. Customizer values are user-entered data, not static strings in code. For a translation plugin to handle them, the option must be registered in a "string translation" table (like WPML's icl_strings or Polylang's pll_strings). SeaText AI does not maintain its own string registry; it relies on the text being present in the rendered HTML. Therefore, the only reliable way to translate customizer text with SeaText is to ensure the text appears in the page output that SeaText processes.
header.php or footer.php?Divi's Theme Builder header often uses a Site Title module. That module pulls blogname and blogdescription from options and renders them as HTML. SeaText translates the module's output, so the title and tagline translate automatically — provided the Divi integration is active.
Menus created in Appearance → Menus store labels in wp_posts (menu items). SeaText translates menu items because they render as standard <a> tags. If you set a custom label via the Customizer's "Menu Locations" or a theme-specific menu setting, check whether that label ends up in the menu HTML. If yes, it translates.
Divi adds customizer fields like header phone number, header email, and social links. These are saved as theme mods. If you enter them in the Customizer and they appear in the Divi Header module or a Divi Global Header, SeaText translates them. If you use a child theme that outputs get_theme_mod('et_header_phone') directly in header.php, SeaText won't see it unless that template is processed by SeaText (it isn't).

Yes, if your theme outputs them via bloginfo('name') or bloginfo('description') in a template that SeaText processes, or if they appear in a Divi Site Title module. They are stored as options but render as HTML text.
Check whether the header is a global header (Theme Builder → Global Header) or assigned per page. Global headers translate once and apply everywhere. Per-page headers translate per page. Ensure SeaText's Divi integration is enabled and clear caches.
Not reliably with SeaText alone. SeaText translates rendered HTML. If the string never reaches the browser as text (e.g., used only in JS, or in a template SeaText doesn't parse), it won't translate. Use a string translation plugin for those cases.
No. SeaText translates text strings only. Colors, spacing, and layout settings are CSS values, not translatable text.
SeaText doesn't use a registration system. View the page source in the target language. If the string appears in the original language, it wasn't in the HTML SeaText processed. Move the string into a Divi module or widget.
Export/import moves theme mods between sites. SeaText translates the live site's output. After import, visit the site in each language to trigger translation.
SeaText translates the text, not the data. For truly different values per language, use a multilingual plugin that supports per-language theme mods, or create language-specific Divi global headers.

Direct Answer: AI variant tests often take long because traffic is low, the effect size is small, the audience is fragmented, or traffic allocation is uneven. Diagnose which cause applies before changing anything.
Your AI variant test is probably taking long to reach significance because one of four things is true: you don't have enough traffic, the difference between variants is small, your audience is split into too many segments, or traffic isn't being allocated evenly. Each cause has a different fix, so the first step is to identify which one is slowing you down.
Statistical significance simply means the result you're seeing is unlikely to be due to chance. The math behind it needs a certain number of conversions per variant. If that number is low, the test drags on. AI variant tests add a layer of complexity because the AI may be adjusting variants in real time, which can change the effect size mid-test.
Significance is a probability calculation. It answers: "If there were no real difference between variants, how often would I see a result this extreme?" To get a reliable answer, you need enough observations. The required sample size depends on three things:
If any of these are off, your test will run longer. AI variant tests often target small improvements, like a 2% lift in headline clicks, which requires a large sample.
If your page gets 100 visitors a day and you're testing two variants, you might need weeks to collect enough conversions. Low traffic is the most common reason. Check your daily unique visitors and conversion rate. If you're getting fewer than a few hundred conversions per variant per week, the test will be slow.
AI variants often make subtle changes – a different headline, a reworded CTA, a new image. These rarely produce dramatic lifts. A 1% difference in conversion rate is hard to detect. The smaller the effect you're trying to measure, the longer the test takes.
If you're segmenting by device, source, or geography, each segment gets a fraction of the traffic. Running separate tests on each segment multiplies the required sample size. Even if overall traffic is decent, a segment might have too few visitors to reach significance quickly.
If one variant gets 90% of traffic and the other gets 10%, the smaller variant will take much longer to accumulate enough data. Most testing tools split traffic evenly by default, but AI systems sometimes adjust allocation dynamically. Check your allocation settings.
Follow this sequence to pinpoint the problem:
Once you identify the cause, you can act.
Increase traffic to the page. Use paid ads, email campaigns, or social promotion. Or accept that the test will take longer and plan accordingly.
Make your variants more different. Instead of changing a headline word, test a completely different value proposition. Larger differences are easier to detect.
Consolidate segments. Run one test on your overall audience first, then drill down only if you see a significant result. Or increase traffic to each segment.
Set a fixed 50/50 split. If your tool allows, disable dynamic allocation until the test reaches significance.
A slow test isn't always a problem. If you're testing a high-stakes change, like a new pricing page, you want to be sure. Longer tests give you more confidence. Also, if you're using an AI tool that continuously optimizes variants, the test may be exploring multiple options. That's a different goal than confirming a single winner.
But if you're waiting weeks for a simple headline test, something is wrong.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Activation requirement | 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. |
| Connection confirmation | Wait at least five minutes until your website name appears next to the SEATEXT logo. If it doesn't appear after 10 minutes, contact support. |
| Initial variants | SEATEXT AI provides your initial round of automatic translations and variants for testing. You can edit them in the "Variants Edit" panel. |
| Domain restriction | Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. Development URLs like localhost are restricted. |
This guidance assumes you're running a standard A/B test with a clear winner. It doesn't apply if you're using AI for continuous optimization, where the goal is to improve over time rather than prove a specific variant. It also doesn't apply if your traffic is extremely low (under 100 visitors per day) – in that case, no test will reach significance quickly, and you should focus on traffic generation first.
Also, if your AI tool is making real-time changes to variants, the effect size may not be stable. That can invalidate the significance calculation. Check whether your tool supports a "holdout" or "frozen" mode for testing.
There's no fixed answer. It depends on traffic, effect size, and the number of variants. A rough rule: you need at least 100 conversions per variant to see a 5% lift. If you're getting 10 conversions per day, that's 10 days per variant.
No. Uneven allocation actually slows the test because the smaller variant needs more time to collect data. Keep a 50/50 split.
That's a problem. If variants change mid-test, you're not testing a fixed hypothesis. Look for a setting to freeze variants or run a traditional A/B test.
Yes, if the change is cheap to implement and you have high traffic. But if traffic is limited, focus on bigger changes.
Only if you've confirmed the cause is low traffic or small effect size and you can't fix it. Otherwise, let it run to completion to avoid false conclusions.
Yes. SEATEXT AI provides automatic variants and lets you edit them. It also handles translation and CRO optimization. But it still requires sufficient traffic to reach significance.
