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.

This plugin connects to the AEO Pulse cloud API at https://woo-aeo.vercel.app to provide its core features (AI search visibility tracking, llms.txt generation, keyword monitoring). The plugin will not function without this service.
What it is and what it is used for:
The AEO Pulse cloud API runs AI keyword monitoring (querying ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity on your behalf from our servers), generates the /llms.txt content from your WooCommerce product catalog, and stores tracked keywords and results so the WordPress admin pages can render them.
What data is sent and when:
<ul>
<li>On plugin activation: site URL and a randomly generated site key are sent to register the site.</li>
<li>On the Settings page when you click “Connect to AEO Pulse”: you enter your WooCommerce REST API Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. These credentials, along with the site URL and site key, are sent to https://woo-aeo.vercel.app/api/auth/connect. They are stored on the AEO Pulse cloud service so it can read your product catalog (read-only) for keyword analysis and llms.txt generation. A JWT auth token is returned and stored locally.</li>
<li>When opening the Keywords or LLMs.txt admin pages: the locally stored JWT is sent to fetch your keyword list and llms.txt content.</li>
<li>When you add or remove a keyword: the keyword text (or its ID for deletion) is sent.</li>
<li>When you click “Regenerate” on the LLMs.txt page: the request triggers the cloud service to read your products via the stored Consumer Key/Secret and rebuild the file.</li>
<li>When the public /llms.txt URL on your site is requested by a visitor: site URL and site key are sent to fetch the cached content.</li>
<li>During scheduled keyword monitoring (Pro only): tracked keywords are sent to our servers, which then query AI providers and return results.</li>
</ul>
No customer data, order data, or payment information is ever sent. Product data accessed via the WooCommerce REST API is limited to public-facing fields (name, description, price, URL).
