<p>When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, or Google AI Overview a question your website can answer, do they cite you or someone else? Most websites never show up in AI-generated answers because their pages are not structured for extraction, trust, and citation.</p>
<p>AEO Content AI Studio helps WordPress teams understand what AI engines see, what they ignore, and what to fix first. The scoring methodology is built on published research into how large language models select sources, not on SEO heuristics or opinions.</p>
<p>It connects your site to <a href="https://www.aeocontent.ai" rel="nofollow ugc">aeocontent.ai</a> for site audits, AI Visibility tracking, prioritized rewrite opportunities, and WordPress publishing.</p>
<h4>Know Your Score</h4>
<p>The plugin audits your entire site against 48 criteria developed from research into how large language models choose which sources to cite. Every page gets a score from 0 to 100 and a letter grade (A through F) so you know exactly where you stand.</p>
<p>The audit looks at what actually matters for AI citation: whether your content says something original, whether it can be cleanly extracted as an answer, whether it carries enough entities and data to be trustworthy, and whether it is structured in a way AI engines can parse. Content that just restates what ten other sites say gets penalized. Content with original insights, named frameworks, and clear answer patterns gets rewarded.</p>
<h4>See Who Is Getting Cited Instead of You</h4>
<p>The AI Visibility stage monitors your most important queries across five engines every day. You see exactly which prompts return your pages, which ones cite a competitor, and how your visibility changes over time. No more guessing whether your optimization work is paying off.</p>
<h4>Fix What Matters First</h4>
<p>The audit does not just tell you what is wrong. It ranks every opportunity by impact so you know which pages to fix first. Rewrite candidates show the weakest pillar for each page. Opportunities show the highest-leverage fixes across your site. You focus your time where it moves the needle the most.</p>
<h4>Publish Optimized Content</h4>
<p>The platform can read your existing posts, optimize them for AI citation readiness, and publish the updated content back to WordPress. Categories, tags, featured images, and FAQ schema are handled automatically.</p>

<h4>Onboarding</h4>
<p>Start from <strong>AEO Content</strong> in your WordPress admin sidebar:</p>
<ol>
<li>Click <strong>Continue with Google</strong> to sign in or create an account</li>
<li>The popup closes automatically and your site is connected</li>
<li>Or use <strong>Create Account Manually</strong> / <strong>I Already Have an Account</strong> for email-based setup</li>
</ol>
<p>You can also start from AEO Content AI Studio, enter your site URL, and finish the connection from WordPress admin.</p>
<h4>External Service</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to the AEO Content platform at <code>aeocontent.ai</code> for the following purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Registration</strong> (on initial setup): When you connect your site from WordPress admin, the plugin sends your site URL to <code>https://www.aeocontent.ai/api/v1/plugin/register</code> to register the connection. No content or personal data is transmitted.</li>
<li><strong>Heartbeat</strong> (periodic): The plugin sends your site URL, plugin version, WordPress version, PHP version, and enabled features to <code>https://www.aeocontent.ai/api/v1/plugin/heartbeat</code>. This keeps the platform in sync and delivers any pending updates. No personal data or site content is transmitted.</li>
<li><strong>Audit Report</strong> (on demand): When you view the Audit Report page, the plugin fetches your site’s audit data from <code>https://www.aeocontent.ai/api/v1/audits/{site-slug}</code>. This returns scoring data and recommendations generated by the platform. Audit results are cached locally for 1 hour.</li>
<li><strong>AI Visibility</strong> (on demand): When you open the AI Visibility stage, the plugin fetches your site’s visibility snapshot from <code>https://www.aeocontent.ai/api/v1/visibility/{site-slug}?include=timeline</code>. This returns citations, engine coverage, competitors, alerts, and score trend history. The plugin prefers this dedicated visibility report over stale audit-embedded visibility data.</li>
</ul>
<p>All communication uses HTTPS and authenticated platform credentials. The platform’s <a href="https://www.aeocontent.ai/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a> and <a href="https://www.aeocontent.ai/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> apply to data processed on the platform side.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the external service at aeocontent.ai. See the “External Service” section in the Description for full details on what data is transmitted and when.</p>
<p>The plugin stores the IP address of incoming API requests in the activity log for security and diagnostic purposes. Log entries are automatically deleted after 90 days. No cookies are set, no users are tracked, and no analytics are collected on the frontend.</p>
<p>Local logging remains available for secure platform-to-plugin diagnostics, but user-facing operational logs are no longer rendered inside the WordPress admin UI.</p>

<p>Lets you create a content inventory right in the WordPress Edit screens, similar to the process you might use to assess your site’s content in a spreadsheet. You can mark content as redundant, outdated, trivial, or in need of a review for SEO or style. These content status labels work just like categories, so you can remove the built-in ones and add your own if you like. You can also assign a content owner (distinct from the original author) and keep internal notes. The IDs are revealed on the Edit screens so you can keep track of your content even if you change titles and permalinks. The plugin supports custom post types as well as posts, pages, and media files.</p>
<p>There’s an Overview report under the Dashboard menu that shows you which posts/pages/attachments/etc. need attention, sorted by user. This screen also lets you export a CSV file of the audit report.</p>
<p>The plugin creates three new filters on the Edit screens: author, content owner, and content status. This should make it easy to narrow your focus to just a few pages at a time.</p>
<p>You can display the audit details to logged-in editors on the front end if you want, either above or below the content. You can style the audit message with custom CSS.</p>
<p><strong>New:</strong> you can now clear data from past audits and start over!</p>

Content Audit

This is a light-weight plugin that's very approachable.. I've found people like using it.

I could imagine more robust reporting features and other small polishes, but this plugin pretty much does exactly what it says and works great.

Great plugin I love to recommend
