What’s new in the Yoast SEO Bulk Editor


The Yoast SEO Bulk Editor already gave you one place to update titles and meta descriptions across your whole site. Now it does much more. This release adds focus keyphrases to the editor, new search and status filters, a dedicated view for every content type, and AI-drafted metadata with Yoast SEO Premium. In short: you can find what’s broken, fix it in bulk, and let AI handle the heavy lifting while you keep final say.

Running an online store? Jump to what this means for your shop.

A focused workspace

The Bulk Editor now shows only the fields that matter: your titles, meta descriptions, and, new in this version, your focus keyphrases. Everything is searchable, filterable, and organized per content type. As a result, posts, pages, products, and custom post types each get their own editor, which is ideal for publishers and stores alike.

Whether you manage 50 pages or 5,000, you can still move through them quickly and systematically. Just inherited a site? The Bulk Editor remains the fastest way to get it to a solid SEO baseline without starting from scratch.

New: search and status filters

You can’t fix what you can’t see all at once. The new filters get you straight to the pages that need work. For example, you can pull up every page missing a description, every draft, or every post targeting a keyphrase in seconds instead of scrolling. From there, you review, update, and move on without opening a single page.

Easily search for the page, product or post you are looking to edit

New: AI drafts it, you approve it (selected plans*)

Even when you can see what’s missing, writing hundreds of titles and descriptions by hand is a project nobody has time for. With paid plans like Yoast SEO Premium, you can now select the content that needs work and let AI draft the metadata for you. You then review each suggestion, apply what you like, and tweak or discard the rest.

Crucially, nothing saves without your permission. Per-row and batch apply or discard controls, plus unsaved-changes warnings, give you bulk editing without bulk mistakes. That means you can work through hundreds of pages with confidence, not caution.

Working with the AI powered metadata generator

*AI drafting is available with Yoast SEO Premium. WooCommerce and Yoast SEO AI+ plans extend it to products and categories.

Keeping product metadata complete and unique across a large catalog is one of the most tedious jobs in e-commerce. This release helps in two ways. First, products get their own view in the Bulk Editor, so you can filter your catalog and spot the gaps fast. Second, Yoast WooCommerce SEO and Yoast SEO AI+ plans extend AI drafting to products and categories. Your store can therefore generate, review, and approve catalog metadata at scale, right in time for the next seasonal peak.
