aeotool

AEO Tool Connect is the companion plugin for <a href="https://aeotool.io" rel="nofollow ugc">aeotool.io</a>, the Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform. After auditing your site against 67 AEO criteria, aeotool.io generates the fixes — this plugin applies them on your WordPress site automatically, server-side, so AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended…) actually see them.
What it does
<ul>
<li>JSON-LD structured data — injected in the page head, matched per page, with automatic deduplication against Yoast SEO and Rank Math (Organization / WebSite types are skipped when those plugins are active).</li>
<li>robots.txt AI-bot directives — appended after your existing rules. Your robots.txt is never replaced.</li>
<li>Virtual /llms.txt — served only when no physical llms.txt file exists at your site root.</li>
</ul>
Built to be safe
<ul>
<li>The plugin never writes to your posts, pages or database content — everything is injected at render time through standard WordPress hooks.</li>
<li>Global kill-switch and per-module toggles.</li>
<li>One-click rollback to any of the last 3 applied bundle versions.</li>
<li>If aeotool.io is unreachable, the plugin keeps serving its local cache — your optimizations stay online.</li>
<li>Site-scoped key (never your account API key), revocable at any time from the aeotool.io dashboard.</li>
</ul>
An aeotool.io account with a Pro plan or higher is required to connect a site.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to aeotool.io (the plugin author’s own service) to retrieve the optimization bundle generated for your site. It is required for the plugin to do anything: the optimizations (JSON-LD, robots.txt directives, llms.txt content) are generated by your aeotool.io account and pulled by the plugin.
Exactly three API calls are made, all over HTTPS to <code>https://aeotool.io</code>:
<ol>
<li>Pairing (once, when you click Connect): sends the pairing code you typed, your site URL, your WordPress version and the plugin version. Returns a key scoped to this site only.</li>
<li>Bundle pull (twice a day via WP-Cron, or when you click Sync now): sends your site domain, authenticated with the site-scoped key. Returns the optimization bundle.</li>
<li>Status ping (after a bundle is applied): sends the applied bundle version, the list of active modules (e.g. jsonld, robots, llms), your WordPress version and the plugin version, so your aeotool.io dashboard can display the sync status.</li>
</ol>
No personal data, no post or page content, no visitor data, no analytics and no usage tracking are ever transmitted. The plugin makes no other network requests.

AEO Tool Connect

Applies the AEO optimizations from your aeotool.io account to your site, server-side: JSON-LD, AI-bot robots.txt directives and llms.txt.

Your content is not getting cited by AI answer engines. Classic SEO plugins (Yoast, RankMath, AIOSEO) optimize for Google’s blue links. Citevera optimizes for the new layer that sits above them – the one that writes the answer.
Citevera is the WordPress plugin for AI search optimization. It makes your site citable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, with one-click fixes that don’t require editing theme code or touching header templates.
Who this is for
<ul>
<li>Site owners who have noticed their brand never appears in AI-generated answers.</li>
<li>Marketing teams that want to stay ahead of the AI-search shift.</li>
<li>Agencies supporting clients through the AEO / GEO transition.</li>
</ul>
Why Citevera
<ul>
<li>Written for AI answer engines, not retrofitted from classic SEO.</li>
<li>Plays nicely with Yoast, RankMath, and AIOSEO – never duplicates schema they already emit.</li>
<li>Free tier makes zero external HTTP calls. Your data stays on your WordPress server.</li>
<li>Paid tier connects to the same audit pipeline behind scan.citevera.com, so your WP plugin and your SaaS account share one license.</li>

Premium features (active Citevera license required)
The premium tier connects the plugin to the Citevera cloud service at api.citevera.com. These features call our AI inference pipeline and require an active subscription. See the External services section below for the exact data sent and the Terms / Privacy links.
<ul>
<li>AI-powered cloud audit with per-page apply-fix buttons (calls api.citevera.com).</li>
<li>Gutenberg block toolbar: select any paragraph, click “Optimize for AI”, see a diff, accept or decline (calls our AI rewrite service).</li>
<li>Sidebar AI-answerability score inside the Gutenberg editor (cloud-scored).</li>
<li>Competitor tracking and monthly client portfolio reports at app.citevera.com.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
Citevera Free does not connect to any external service.
When you paste a license key to unlock premium features, Citevera connects to api.citevera.com (operated by Citevera) to:
<ul>
<li>Verify the key and return your tier entitlements (one request on activation; background refresh every 12 hours after).</li>
<li>Run cloud audits when you explicitly click “Run full audit”.</li>
<li>Rewrite selected content when you explicitly click “Optimize for AI” in the Gutenberg editor.</li>
</ul>
The data sent to api.citevera.com during a cloud audit is a summary of your site: post counts, active plugins, active theme, detected schema types, and a sample of up to 10 page contents. The admin previews this exact payload before the first cloud audit runs.
Rewrite requests send only the text you selected plus minimal surrounding context (post title, post type, adjacent paragraphs) for a single AI call.
