SEO Content Machine vs Typemat (2026): which should you pick?

Pick SEO Content Machine if

• Fits if you'd rather pay once and bring your own AI keys or local models
• Works for agencies and niche-site builders turning a brief into a page plan at volume

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to work in a browser or on a phone, as it's desktop only
• Watch out: the one-time license includes one year of updates, then needs a renewal
• Tight if you lean on its AI, as credits run out and extra packs cost $9 to $72
• Watch out: credits aren't refundable, though subscriptions have a 30-day refund policy
• Not for you if your site isn't on WordPress, the only CMS it publishes to

Pick Typemat if

• Fits if you're building location or directory pages from a spreadsheet you already keep
• Makes sense if you want programmatic pages without a monthly bill, for a one-time $57

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: it doesn't publish to your site, so you upload the XML file through your CMS's own import tool
• Tight if you're staying free, as free builds stop at 5 pages
• Watch out: the sheet has to be public, and buying the license means signing in with a Google account

SEO Content Machine

Site and Search Console import

Scans every page of a site and lines up each page's status with its Search Console clicks and trend, to spot pages to update or topics to cover.

Planning agent

A chat agent reads the site and recent search demand and proposes new pages and refreshes for a goal you describe.

Editable site plan

Lays out main pages and their supporting pages as a topic tree, including service and location page grids for local sites.

Drafting and WordPress publishing

Creates drafts for the selected pages and publishes them to WordPress, or hands them off for review.

Results beside publish dates

Shows when each page was published or refreshed next to its later clicks and average position.

Scraping, clustering and API

Includes content scraping, keyword clustering and task chaining for bulk work, with an API for automation.

Typemat

Google Sheets as the data source

Paste the URL of a public Google Sheet; its data is fetched again each time you open the build, so edits to the sheet carry through.

Column mapping

Map sheet columns to each post's title, excerpt, slug, nested categories and tags; a city column as the slug gives pages such as /rome and /paris.

Templates with variables

Write the page body in plain text or HTML and drop in {{ variable }} placeholders that fill from each row.

XML export for WordPress, Wix and Squarespace

Exports a file for each platform's import tool, with test exports of 1, 5 or 10 posts and splitting into files of 100 to 5,000 posts.
