AEO God Mode gives you every signal those engines look for. Free forever for the basics. Pro at https:\/\/aeogodmode.io if you want to measure who's actually citing you.<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin handles Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). Also called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI Optimization (AIO), AI SEO, LLM SEO, Generative AI Optimization (GAIO), AEOSEO, ASEO, AI Search Optimization, ChatGPT SEO. Same job, different acronyms. Get your content structured, accessible, and trusted by the AI engines that are quietly replacing search results.<\/p>\n\n<h4>\ud83d\udea8 Why Your Site Is Invisible to AI Right Now<\/h4>\n\n<p>Yoast and Rank Math were built for Google in 2015. They have no idea what an AI answer engine wants. Your site probably has no AI bot allowlist, no schema for AI to parse, no E-E-A-T author signals, no answer-shaped content, no citation tracking. ChatGPT and Perplexity skip you and cite your competitors instead.<\/p>\n\n<p>AEO God Mode fixes that. It runs alongside Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, or All in One SEO. Imports their settings on install. Adds the AI visibility layer none of them cover. Never overwrites your titles, meta, canonicals, or sitemaps.<\/p>\n\n<h4>\ud83c\udd93 What You Get For Free (No Account Required)<\/h4>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>AI Crawler Allowlist<\/strong> (18 bots). Choose which AI engines can use your content. Allow ChatGPT and Perplexity, block the rest, do whatever you want. See screenshot 2.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>llms.txt Generator<\/strong>. Auto-writes a machine-readable summary of your most important content. Acts as a \"welcome mat\" for AI agents that read it during inference (a proposed standard, not a hard requirement, but useful when AI agents do honour it). See screenshot 9.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Schema Engine<\/strong> (FAQ, HowTo, Article, Product, Organization, LocalBusiness, Speakable, more). Auto-tags your content so AI knows what each page is. See screenshot 4.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Schema Conflict Detector<\/strong>. Already running Yoast or Rank Math? Never get duplicate or fighting schema. The detector defers to your existing plugin. See screenshot 4.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Schema Validator<\/strong>. Pass, warn, or fail per page. Fix broken structured data before AI engines or Google penalise you.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Content Gap Scanner<\/strong>. Finds pages without FAQs, schema, or answer-shaped content. Action list with one-click fixes. See screenshot 5.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Editor Panel<\/strong>. Edit AEO settings inside the Gutenberg sidebar where you write. No bouncing between editors.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>AI Metadata Generator<\/strong> (5 free credits\/month). Writes Search and LLM-optimised meta titles, meta descriptions, and product descriptions in 5 styles. Run on a single post or bulk-generate across many. See screenshot 10.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Robots.txt Manager<\/strong>. Generates the AI bot rules some engines need to find you at all.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>AI HTTP Headers<\/strong>. Server-level AI directives some engines respect even when they ignore robots.txt.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>AI Crawler Log<\/strong>. Every AI bot visit timestamped. Proof ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are crawling you. Or proof they're not, so you can fix it.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>AEO Health Dashboard<\/strong> (also a WordPress widget). One score for AI readiness, right on your wp-admin home. See screenshot 1.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Setup Wizard<\/strong> (5 screens, under 5 minutes). Auto-detects Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, imports settings. See screenshot 8.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Yoast \/ Rank Math \/ SEOPress compatibility<\/strong>. Runs alongside whichever SEO plugin you use. Your titles, meta, canonicals, and sitemaps stay untouched.<\/p>\n\n<h4>\u2b50 What Pro Adds (Get a license at https:\/\/aeogodmode.io)<\/h4>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>Citation Tracker<\/strong>. The point of all this. Did ChatGPT or Perplexity cite your site this week? Citation Tracker queries them with your topics and reports who got cited. You or your competitors. Real proof, not log analysis. No other AEO plugin on WordPress measures this directly. See screenshot 3.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>Citability Score<\/strong> (0 to 100 per page). Predicts how likely AI engines will cite each page. Based on the 10 signals AI engines actually look for. Per-page action list tells you exactly what to fix.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>AI Referral Traffic Analytics<\/strong>. Visitors arriving from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com, claude.ai tracked as a separate traffic source. Now you can prove how much revenue is coming from AI citations.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>E-E-A-T Author Schema<\/strong>. Author credentials, expertise, education, and trust signals. Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT cite sources with these signals. Without them, your authors look anonymous to AI. See screenshot 6.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>Google Search Console Integration<\/strong>. Indexing status, AI Query Explorer, and Fan-Out Cluster detection inside your AEO dashboard. See screenshot 7.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>Internal Link Builder<\/strong>. AI tells you exactly where to add internal links so AI engines see strong topic clusters and cite you as the topic expert.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>Section Index<\/strong>. AI engines cite paragraphs, not whole pages. Section Index analyses every H2 and H3 so you know which sections are quote-worthy and which need rewriting.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>Bulk Actions<\/strong>. Fix AEO across hundreds of posts in minutes from your normal Posts and Pages screens. Bulk-regenerate metadata, bulk-add FAQ schema, bulk-refresh llms.txt entries.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>Unlimited AI Metadata Generation<\/strong>. No 5-credit-per-month cap. Bulk-regenerate titles and descriptions across hundreds of posts. Test multiple styles across categories.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u26a1 <strong>AI Crawler Intelligence<\/strong>. 30-day activity charts, Top Crawled Pages, and Blind Spots report (the pages AI bots are ignoring).<\/p>\n\n<h4>\ud83e\udd16 AI Engines Supported<\/h4>\n\n<p>Every major AI search engine, every major AI crawler:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>ChatGPT<\/strong> and <strong>ChatGPT Search<\/strong> (OpenAI). GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User\n\u2705 <strong>Perplexity AI<\/strong>. PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User\n\u2705 <strong>Claude<\/strong> (Anthropic). ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User\n\u2705 <strong>Google AI Overviews<\/strong> and <strong>Gemini<\/strong>. Google-Extended\n\u2705 <strong>Microsoft Copilot<\/strong> and <strong>Bing AI<\/strong>. Bingbot\n\u2705 <strong>Meta AI<\/strong> (LLaMA). Meta-ExternalAgent\n\u2705 <strong>DeepSeek<\/strong>. DeepSeekBot\n\u2705 <strong>Apple Intelligence<\/strong>. Applebot-Extended\n\u2705 <strong>xAI Grok<\/strong> and every emerging answer engine<\/p>\n\n<p>18 AI crawler patterns out of the box. New engines added as they launch.<\/p>\n\n<h4>\ud83d\udcaa Why AEO God Mode Beats Other AEO Plugins<\/h4>\n\n<p>Most AEO plugins for WordPress generate a basic llms.txt URL list and call it a day. AEO God Mode goes further:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Real citation verification (Pro)<\/strong>. We ask the actual AI engines who they're citing. Other plugins guess from crawler logs.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Files live on YOUR site (Free)<\/strong>. Your llms.txt, schema, and metadata served from your own domain. Not piped through somebody else's cloud.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Free forever, no account (Free)<\/strong>. The whole AEO toolkit works without signing up. Other plugins gate basic llms.txt behind a SaaS account.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Citability Score (Pro)<\/strong>. Per-page predictive scoring no other AEO plugin offers.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Built-in E-E-A-T author schema (Pro)<\/strong>. Proper author authority markup. Other plugins skip this entirely.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Yoast \/ Rank Math compatibility (Free)<\/strong>. Imports your existing settings. Never overwrites your titles or meta.<\/p>\n\n<h4>\ud83d\udc65 Who AEO God Mode Is For<\/h4>\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>SaaS<\/strong> companies wanting ChatGPT to recommend their software\n\u2705 <strong>Local businesses<\/strong> wanting to appear in AI location answers\n\u2705 <strong>E-commerce stores<\/strong> (WooCommerce + EDD supported) wanting AI shopping visibility\n\u2705 <strong>Agencies<\/strong> managing AEO across many client sites\n\u2705 <strong>Publishers and media<\/strong> wanting to be quoted as a source\n\u2705 <strong>Solo creators and consultants<\/strong> finally getting visible in AI search<\/p>\n\n<h4>\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Want a Team to Just Run This For You?<\/h4>\n\n<p>AEO God Mode is the technical layer. <strong>Metronyx AI<\/strong> is the team that runs the strategy on top.<\/p>\n\n<p>We're a managed SEO + AEO agency built by the same crew who built this plugin. Not a \"we'll set up your llms.txt\" service. Full-stack work: AI Visibility Audits, technical SEO, schema engineering, AI crawler config, AEO-BLUF content (Bottom Line Up Front, engineered for AI citation extraction), content rewrites, brand mentions and entity building across Reddit and YouTube, competitor citation tracking, link building, and weekly reporting.<\/p>\n\n<p>What's different: smart onboarding. We start executing day one, not after a month of paperwork. Most clients see citations climbing within 90 days. Typical agencies take 12 months to even start.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every client gets a self-contained dashboard tracking citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude in real time. No guessing what your agency is doing.<\/p>\n\n<p>Get a free AI Visibility Audit at <strong>https:\/\/metronyxai.com\/audit\/<\/strong> to see exactly where you stand.<\/p>\n\n<h4>\ud83d\ude80 How to Get Started<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Install AEO God Mode and activate.<\/li>\n<li>Run the 5-step Setup Wizard.

Only the license key and site URL are transmitted. No personal data sent.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>AI Content Generation &amp; Analysis<\/strong>\nWhen you manually start an AI generation task (like creating AI Metadata), the plugin securely sends the post content (title and body text) to aeogodmode.io\/wp-json\/asgm\/v1\/ai-assist for processing. Free users get 5 credits per month (no rollover). Pro users unlock unlimited analysis features like FAQ extraction and advanced schema generation. Only activates when you explicitly click the 'Generate' button on a post.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Citation Tracking (Pro)<\/strong>\nThe Citation Tracker queries the Perplexity and ChatGPT APIs to check whether your domain appears in AI-generated responses. Requires explicit opt-in. Only activates after a valid Pro license is entered. API keys stored encrypted in the WordPress database. Never shared with any third party.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Google Search Console (Pro)<\/strong>\nThe GSC integration routes OAuth token exchanges through a proxy at aeogodmode.io to securely connect your Google Search Console account. Only OAuth tokens and GSC API requests are proxied.

Nothing changes without your action.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"which%20ai%20engines%20does%20aeo%20god%20mode%20optimise%20for%3F\"><h3>Which AI engines does AEO God Mode optimise for?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>ChatGPT, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity AI, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Bing AI, Meta AI (LLaMA), DeepSeek, Apple Intelligence, xAI Grok, and every emerging answer engine. 18 AI crawler patterns out of the box.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20the%20citation%20tracker%20actually%20verify%20ai%20engines%20are%20citing%20my%20site%3F\"><h3>Can the Citation Tracker actually verify AI engines are citing my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes (Pro feature). The Citation Tracker sends real queries to Perplexity and ChatGPT based on your site's topics and checks whether your domain appears in the response. Real citation verification, not crawler log analysis. You see which pages get cited and how often.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20aeo%20god%20mode%20really%20free%3F\"><h3>Is AEO God Mode really free?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. The free version is fully functional with no account required. Covers AI Crawler Allowlist, llms.txt, Schema Engine, Content Gap Scanner, Schema Validator, AI Metadata Generator (5 credits\/month), AEO Health Dashboard. Pro at https:\/\/aeogodmode.io unlocks Citation Tracker, AI Referrals, Citability Score, E-E-A-T Schema, GSC, Internal Link Builder, Section Index, Bulk Actions.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"will%20it%20slow%20my%20site%20down%3F\"><h3>Will it slow my site down?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. Schema and metadata generated server-side as lightweight JSON-LD. The AI crawler log fires a single database write only when a recognised AI bot is detected. Frontend overhead is a few meta tags and HTTP headers, measured in microseconds.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"will%20it%20conflict%20with%20my%20existing%20schema%20markup%3F\"><h3>Will it conflict with my existing schema markup?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. The Conflict Detector scans for existing schema output from Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, and All in One SEO before adding any markup. Where a conflict appears, it defers to your existing plugin. You can also manually choose which schema types AEO God Mode handles.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"will%20this%20help%20me%20rank%20in%20google%20ai%20overviews%20and%20chatgpt%20search%3F\"><h3>Will this help me rank in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT Search?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, that's the whole point. AEO God Mode generates the structured signals (schema, llms.txt, E-E-A-T markup, answer-shaped content) that AI engines use to identify and cite trustworthy sources. We can't guarantee placement (no plugin can), but we give you every signal those engines look for.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20an%20account%20or%20external%20service%3F\"><h3>Do I need an account or external service?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>The free version requires no account. AI Metadata Generation (free tier) uses included credits. Pro features need a license key from https:\/\/aeogodmode.io. No data leaves your site beyond what you authorise.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20this%20white-hat%20seo%3F\"><h3>Is this white-hat SEO?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. AEO God Mode produces standards-compliant schema, llms.txt, robots.txt directives, and metadata. Nothing cloaked, no doorway pages, no manipulation. Just the structured signals AI engines and Google's guidelines explicitly recommend.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"do%20you%20support%20woocommerce%20and%20easy%20digital%20downloads%3F\"><h3>Do you support WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. AEO God Mode passes product context to the AI metadata pipeline and outputs Product schema for both WooCommerce and EDD.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.5.98<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: page-mode discoverability dramatically improved. The similarity floor now runs AFTER hybrid scoring, so sections with strong entity\/heading overlap but weaker raw cosine survive (the comparison-post case where the page-level embedding dilutes specific topic matches).<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: multi-query retrieval. Page mode now embeds the target's title and H2\/H3 headings alongside the LOP vector and takes each section's best match across the pool \u2014 sections tightly aligned with one heading are no longer drowned out by the page average.<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: structural anchors (title segments split on \"vs\"\/\"and\"\/\"or\"\/\":\", plus H2\/H3 headings) are auto-injected into the Stage 2 anchor toolkit so the AI has obvious, on-page noun phrases to choose from in addition to the AI-generated strategic anchors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.5.97<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: fix root cause of empty suggestions \u2014 Section_Index now embeds sections after indexing (previously sections were indexed without embeddings, so retrieval queries filtering by <code>embedding IS NOT NULL<\/code> returned zero candidates).<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: credits are now only consumed when at least one suggestion is returned. Empty results no longer cost credits.<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: structured failure reasons (no_indexed_content, no_embeddings, weak_candidates, all_duplicates, no_natural_insertion_point) replace a single generic empty message.<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: similarity floor (0.55 page mode \/ 0.45 query mode) drops weak candidates before any AI call.<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: hybrid scoring combines semantic similarity with heading match, entity overlap, anchor-phrase match, and same-category boost.<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: posts longer than 2,000 words can now contribute up to 2 link suggestions instead of 1.<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: Regenerate now bypasses the Link Opportunity Profile cache for genuinely fresh results.<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder modal: anchor-hint input, index status row, Rebuild index button, and per-reason recovery actions (Rebuild index \/ Broaden search) on empty states.<\/li>\n<li>Pro \/ Internal Link Builder: post saves now schedule embedding via wp-cron so newly published content becomes eligible without a manual rebuild.<\/li>\n<li>Site Health: Organization schema check now reads from <code>asgm_settings.business<\/code> (the same source of truth used by schema output), fixing the false \"No Organization schema configured\" warning when the field was filled in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.5.96<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Free build no longer ships Pro classes (includes\/pro\/) or the self-hosted updater (class-updater.php).
