Alt text is a per-image chore
Hundreds of attachments with empty alt attributes, each one a small manual edit nobody schedules time for.
The SEO work nobody does.
Done every week, automatically.
Technical SEO on a content site is mostly unglamorous housekeeping: alt text on hundreds of images, meta descriptions nobody wrote, titles that were never revisited, posts that nothing links to. It is exactly the work that never gets prioritised and exactly the work an agent is good at. Talos audits it across the whole library and fixes it in tracked, reversible batches.

Howdy, Alex
The backlog that never clears
Metadata gaps are invisible
Nothing in the WordPress admin lists every post missing a meta description or running a duplicate title.
Old content quietly decays
Posts from three years ago still rank, still get traffic, and still say things that are no longer true.
What actually happens.
Audit the whole library at once
Talos lists attachments with missing or unhelpful alt text and posts with missing metadata, thin titles or no internal links pointing at them.
Write alt text from the actual image
It inspects each attachment rather than guessing from the filename, then writes descriptive alt text and applies it through manage_media.
Fill the metadata gaps
Meta descriptions, excerpts and taxonomy assignments updated through manage_content, in batches captured as change sets.
Flag what needs a human
Factual updates to old posts get reported as suggestions rather than applied, because that judgement is yours.
The exact tools it uses.
Talos does not improvise. Each of these is a defined tool with validated inputs, a declared risk level and its own policy setting.
Talos works with your existing SEO plugin rather than replacing it. It reads and writes the post metadata your plugin already manages.

Any of this can become a workflow. You write the prompt, choose the trigger, and lock the permissions before it ever runs.

The outcome.
Alt text written from the image, not the filename
Metadata gaps found across the whole library
Fixes applied in tracked, reversible batches
Editorial judgement calls flagged rather than guessed
Before you rely on it.
Does this replace Yoast or Rank Math?
No. Your SEO plugin owns the metadata model, the sitemap and the on-page analysis. Talos does the labour of filling in what those plugins correctly tell you is missing.
Will it rewrite my published content?
Only if you ask it to and grant content:update. The recommended pattern is to let it handle mechanical gaps like alt text and missing descriptions, and to have it report factual staleness in older posts as suggestions for you to action.
Can I undo a batch of edits?
Yes. Content updates are captured in change sets with before-and-after snapshots, so a batch can be previewed, verified and rolled back like any other tracked change.
