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.
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.
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.
<h4>Know Your Score</h4>
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.
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.
<h4>See Who Is Getting Cited Instead of You</h4>
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.
<h4>Fix What Matters First</h4>
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.
<h4>Publish Optimized Content</h4>
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.

<h4>External Service</h4>
This plugin connects to the AEO Content platform at <code>aeocontent.ai</code> for the following purposes:
<ul>
<li>Registration (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>Heartbeat (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>Audit Report (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>AI Visibility (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>
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.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
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.
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.
Local logging remains available for secure platform-to-plugin diagnostics, but user-facing operational logs are no longer rendered inside the WordPress admin UI.

WP Fix It - WordPress Experts

Guard Dog Security & Site Lock helps WordPress administrators keep their installations clean and secure.
Over time, it’s common for orphaned plugin or theme folders to build up in your wp-content directory. These stray folders may be the result of incomplete uninstallations, leftover files from updates, or abandoned code that was never fully removed. While they might seem harmless at first glance, they can create confusion, waste storage space, and in some cases pose a serious security risk.
Hackers often exploit these forgotten folders by hiding backdoors or malicious scripts inside them, knowing that site owners rarely check for or even notice such files. An orphaned folder can act as an open invitation for unauthorized access, giving attackers a quiet place to operate undetected. 
By identifying and removing these unused folders, you not only keep your WordPress installation clean and organized but also close off potential entry points that could otherwise be used to compromise your site. The Guard Dog Security plugin makes this process simple, scanning your directories to uncover anything that doesn’t belong and highlighting it for review before it becomes a problem.
SITE LOCK – Only found here!
One of the easiest ways for a hacked user to damage your site is by adding or changing the physical files that WordPress relies on. If attackers can place hidden scripts, modify plugin or theme files, or inject malicious code, they gain the power to compromise your entire site.
The Site Lock feature in Guard Dog Security protects against this by allowing you to lock all folders and files in your installation and make them read-only. Once locked, no new files can be added, no existing files can be changed, and nothing can be removed. This ensures that the foundation of your WordPress site remains untouched, even if someone attempts to exploit vulnerabilities or gain access.
When updates or changes are needed, you can unlock the system with a single action, perform your updates, and then reapply the lock. This simple but powerful safeguard gives you complete control over your site’s file structure and adds a layer of security that goes beyond what most WordPress plugins offer.
This plugin scans the following directories: 
– WordPress Root (main installation folder) 
– wp-content Folder (wp-content/) 
– Plugins Folder (wp-content/plugins/) 
– Themes Folder (wp-content/themes/) 
– Uploads Folder (wp-content/uploads/) 
– htaccess files 
– Database tables
Guard Dog Security takes a disk-first approach. It crawls your entire WordPress installation and inventories every single file and folder, not just plugins and themes. Everything is presented in a clear interface where you can open items to view their contents, mark them to ignore, delete them if they are not needed, or download a copy for backup or investigation.
Because it works directly from what is actually on disk, you are never limited by what WordPress shows in the admin. You can quickly spot unfamiliar files, tidy up leftovers from old plugins or themes, and pull down suspicious items for review, all without leaving the dashboard. It provides a fast and transparent way to see exactly what is on your server and take action immediately.
