Does regenerating an article cost credits
Yes. When you regenerate an article, SnowSEO runs the full AI pipeline again from scratch. This means research, drafting, and refinement all happen again, which consumes the same number of credits as generating a new article.
Initial generation and regeneration both cost approximately 100 credits each.
Use regenerate when:
The research or outline was off
You want a completely fresh take on the topic
The current draft is not usable
Use edit instead when:
The article is mostly good but needs your expertise
You want to fix specific sections without rewriting everything
You want to preserve the structure and just refine details
Editing does not consume credits. Only generation and regeneration do.
Does word count affect credit cost
No. The credit cost is the same regardless of whether you generate a 1,000 word article or a 5,000 word article. SnowSEO uses approximately 100 credits per article regardless of length.
However, longer articles may take more time to generate because the AI writes more content. The credit cost stays fixed.
Public vs private articles
Every article has a visibility setting.
Public articles
Visible on your public brand feed at snowseo.com/feed/your-brand
Anyone with the link can view them
Appear as published blog posts
Private articles
Only visible to your team members inside the SnowSEO dashboard
Do not appear on the public brand feed
Visitors on the public blog cannot see them
Who can see your articles
All Organization members can see all articles in the dashboard, including private ones. There is no way to hide an article from a team member who has access to your Brand.
If you invite a client to a specific Brand, they can see all articles in that Brand, both public and private. If you need to keep content completely separate, create a separate Organization or Brand.
Connected pages
Connected pages show you all the links inside your article. This helps you manage your internal linking structure and check external references.
Internal links - These are links to other pages on your website. They include:
Other SnowSEO articles you have published
Custom URLs you added manually
Pages from your website audit sitemap
Internal links help Google understand how your content connects and distribute authority across your site.
External links - These are links to other websites. They include:
Sources you cited
Competitor references
Tool or product mentions
The article audit checks whether you have enough internal links and whether any external links are broken.
To view connected pages, open the Connected Pages panel from the article list or editor.
