Executive Summary

Small and mid-size WordPress site owners, solo marketers, and small agencies spend disproportionate time on repetitive content and SEO tasks—crafting drafts, metadata, schema, internal links, and publishing workflows—yet often lack the expertise to implement E-E-A-T and structured data correctly, resulting in inconsistent quality and missed discoverability. That manual friction drives slow publishing cadences and high outside agency costs for routine SEO work. Build a WordPress plugin that uses modern LLMs to produce near-publishable drafts, title/meta suggestions, schema markup, internal-linking recommendations, content briefs and automated publishing workflows, with templates, Yoast/RankMath integration, versioning and human-in-the-loop editing. Offer hybrid deployment (on-site inference or API), content safety/attribution controls, and built-in A/B testing so users can validate SEO lift before fully automating. The market is attractive now: ~20M SMB WordPress sites represent roughly $3.0B annual ACV at $150 ARPU, distribution is eased by the WP plugin ecosystem, and rising LLM quality plus search trends toward structured, helpful content mean automation converts to measurable traffic gains faster. Early adopters—local businesses, niche publishers, agencies—can see tangible ROI within weeks. You can differentiate with deep CMS-native integration, automated schema and E-E-A-T scaffolds, measurable SEO analytics, and SMB-appropriate pricing, but success requires solving hallucinations, cost/throughput of models, privacy/compliance, and productizing reliable ROI (target 10–30% traffic uplift or 3–6x ROI). If you can deliver that measurable value and guardrails, this is a pragmatic, high-opportunity product to pursue.
