How Umbodi works
An agent that works on your site every week, under rules you set, with a record of everything it does.
You don’t need a developer, and nothing changes on your site without asking you first. This is different from an SEO tool that stops at a report: the fix is written, shipped and measured. If something fails, there is no cost, and when you run out of credits, paid work pauses. Nobody can guarantee results, so every result shown is measured.
- 1
Read
Reads every page of your site and checks how you show up on Google and in AI assistants.
- 2
Decide
Ranks what to fix by how much it should help, and writes each fix out in full.
- 3Your call
You approve
Nothing changes on your site until you say yes. Turn on autopilot only for the kinds of change you trust.
- 4
Ship
Sends the change as a pull request, through the WordPress plugin, or as a snippet you paste.
- 5
Verify
Re-reads the live page. A fix only counts once Umbodi can see it.
- 6
Learn
Measures what moved, keeps what works, and plans the next round.
Then it starts again at Read, every week.
See it on a real site.
These are real screens from the app, shown with an example site, corvanalife.com. Seven fixes are waiting, and the agent stays off until the owner turns it on.
Umbodi checks every page against Google and AI assistants. The overview shows the one thing to do next.
You decide how far it goes
Pick one of four starting points, then adjust any kind of change on its own, whenever you like.
Cautious
Every change is prepared, and you are asked before each one. Nothing ships without a yes.
BalancedRecommended
Safe page fixes are prepared automatically. Keywords and content wait for you, and so does publishing.
Aggressive
Keywords are picked and every change is prepared for you. Publishing still waits for you.
Full autopilot
Changes are made and published on their own, within your plan and your credits. Paid plans only.

On the Free plan every kind is limited to Ask me first.
How changes reach your site
WordPress plugin
A free plugin publishes approved titles, descriptions and structured data, with a backup of every change.
GitHub pull request
For sites in a repository. Your team reviews and merges; Umbodi never writes to the main branch.
Copy and paste
Works with any site. You paste the snippet; Umbodi checks the live page to confirm it.
What gets measured
- Where you rank on Google for the searches you chose.
- Whether AI assistants name you, and who they name instead.
- Clicks and impressions from Google Search Console, once connected.
- Who appears instead of you, and why.
Questions people ask before signing up
Do I need a developer?
No. On WordPress, approved changes are published through the Umbodi Connect plugin. Anywhere else, it hands you the exact snippet to paste, or opens a pull request if your site lives on GitHub. If you have a developer, they review the pull request like any other.
Will it change my site without asking?
Not unless you tell it to. Every plan starts with Umbodi asking before each change. You can let it act on its own for specific kinds of change, and switch that off again at any time. You see every change it made, and who approved it.
How is this different from an SEO tool?
Most tools give you a report. Umbodi audits your site, opens the fix, checks the change went live, then measures what happened. The AI assistants your customers now ask are checked as well as Google.
What does it cost if something fails?
Nothing. Credits are only spent on work that completes. If a check or a fix fails, the credits go back to your balance.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Paid work pauses and you are told. Top-up credits never expire, so you can buy a pack once and use it over months.
Can you guarantee results?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. What you get is that every result shown is measured, every estimate is labelled as one, and 10% of eligible fixes are held back so you can see which changes made the difference.
Built to be audited
Written for whoever answers for the budget.
Nothing ships unseen
Every plan starts with Umbodi asking before each change. Acting alone is opt-in, per kind of change.
A tamper-evident record
Every AI call, check and change is written to a SHA-256 chained record you can export as CSV.
A control group
10% of eligible fixes are held back, so the effect of the rest can be measured.
