Listen "Alli AI Demo with Sebastian Jooste"
Episode Synopsis
If you’ve ever wished SEO tasks would just…do themselves (without breaking your site), Alli AI will feel like a cheat code. In our recorded demo and hands-on trial, the platform installed via a lightweight snippet, crawled ~300 pages per site, and produced tens of thousands of categorized recommendations—each change gated behind a simple approve/unapprove workflow that applies instantly and can be rolled back just as fast.What it is: Alli AI is an SEO automation and assist platform that crawls your site, proposes structured improvements (titles, headings, alt text, link titles, interlinks), and then implements the changes the moment you approve them. It also suggests backlink opportunities based on competitor profiles, provides a live editor Chrome extension for quick front-end fixes, and offers a reverse-proxy site speed/SSR layer with an upcoming LLM optimization feature for better AI crawler indexing.The problem it solves: SEO is a pile of repetitive, error-prone tasks (fix headings, add alt text, tune titles, interlink, build citations/outreach). Alli AI centralizes and automates the grunt work while letting humans keep the steering wheel.Why it matters for marketers: Speed + control. You can ship hundreds of fixes across a site in minutes, maintain editorial oversight, and reverse any mistake instantly—no developer ticket queue required.Pros & ConsProsApprove-to-apply workflow: Instant implementation with a one-click rollback builds trust and speed.Mass automation of on-page basics: Alt text, H1 hygiene, link titles, and “add an H1” fixes at scale.Interlinking that actually helps rankings: Exact-match anchor links to your best URL for that keyword.Backlink opportunities generated from competitors: Brand (profiles), niche (directories), and outreach (Quora/Reddit) mapped for you.Live editor extension: Quick front-end edits without logging into the CMS.Upcoming LLM optimization: Server-side rendered pages to ensure AI crawlers (ChatGPT/Perplexity) can fetch content within the ~2-second window.ConsQuality control still required: Auto-generated alt text/titles may need human edits.Volume can be overwhelming: You might see thousands of suggestions; plan a triage process.Platform constraints: Shopify currently blocks their site-speed proxy IPs (negotiations in progress), so SSR benefits may be limited on Shopify for now.Interlinks need restraint: Cap around 5–6 per page to avoid a spammy look.Best fitSMBs who want in-house control without hiring a full SEO team.Agencies that need scalable, reviewable workflows across multiple clients.Enterprises that want an automated second set of eyes to validate internal/agency work.Not ideal forTeams unwilling to review/approve changes (there’s still some stewardship).Sites with highly bespoke templating where automated H-tag changes could clash with strict design rules (you can still selectively approve).What Problem Does It Solve?Core pain: SEO is death by a thousand cuts—missing alt tags, duplicate H1s, short titles, scattered internal links, and slow link-building. The manual effort is huge; the dev/SEO coordination overhead is worse.How Alli AI addresses it (from the session):Crawls hundreds of pages and groups 24k+ recommendations by type (on-page, links, content, etc.).Approve all when safe, edit before approval when nuance matters, or leave items unchecked to skip.Instant apply / instant revert eliminates fear of breaking things.Interlinks from tracked keywords to...
