We’re excited to announce a game-changing new feature in Cascade CMS: AI-Powered content and SEO suggestions.

This powerful addition leverages artificial intelligence to help users streamline their content creation process and optimize their websites like never before.

Here’s how it works:

Generate Metadata in Seconds

When creating or editing a page, users can now ask AI to generate key metadata elements such as title, description, and keywords.

These suggestions not only save time but also help improve SEO.

Gone are the days of staring at the screen, trying to craft the perfect meta description. With AI-powered content and SEO suggestions, you can review, apply, or edit the generated content with just a few clicks.

This smart automation helps you focus on what matters most: creating compelling content while knowing that your SEO fundamentals are covered.

The title is set to 'First Year Students,' with an AI recommendation suggesting 'Welcome Guide for First Year Students.' Keywords include terms like 'first year students,' 'Cascade University,' and 'academic programs,' with an option to get AI suggestions. The description reads, 'Welcome first-year students to Cascade University! Explore academic programs, student services, and vibrant campus life.' Best Practices section advises keeping the description under 160 characters, and the current character count is 121.

AI-Powered Alternative Text for Accessible Image Descriptions

We all know the importance of alternative text (“alt” text), both for accessibility and SEO, but crafting descriptive, accurate alt texts can sometimes be overlooked or under-prioritized. And frankly, most of us content writers aren’t great at it.

That’s where our AI steps in. In fact, many of our customers have told us that they’re using AI such as ChatGPT to write alt-text for them.

With our new enhancement, this tedious process is no longer needed.

Whether you manage a large site with hundreds of images or just a few key visuals, this functionality can save you valuable time and help you meet accessibility standards effortlessly.

Now, when adding an image to content in Cascade CMS, you have the option to generate an AI-powered image description for alternative text.

The AI feature analyzes the image and suggests alt text that can be applied, rejected, or modified.

This feature ensures that your website is more accessible while improving the overall SEO of your site.

Below, there is an option to mark the image as decorative. The 'Image description' field includes a description: 'A diverse group of people engaged in a lively discussion around a table in a cozy café setting,' with an option to apply AI recommendations. The image dimensions are set to 1288 x 844 pixels with 'Constrain proportions' checked. Buttons at the bottom include 'Ok' and 'Cancel.

Why These Features Matter

  • Time Savings: By automating routine tasks like metadata generation and alt text creation, your team can spend more time on strategic work and less time on manual optimization.
