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.

AI agents are visiting your website hundreds of times a month. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini. They are reading your pages, evaluating your content, and deciding whether to recommend you to their users. Can you see any of it? 
Now you can.
See it in action:
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kNL1s4heBLE?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
Based on analysis of 640,000+ AI agent crawls across B2B websites, AI agent traffic is one of the fastest-growing — and most invisible — sources of website activity. This plugin gives you complete visibility, plus the tools to act on what you find. 
AI Search Analytics 
Monitor how often AI tools access and cite your content over time — like Google Analytics, but for AI agent traffic. See trends by day, week, and month across all major AI platforms. 
Agent Identification & Analysis 
Identify exactly which AI agents are scanning your site: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and more. Understand their behavior patterns and which content draws the most visits. 
Page Performance Intelligence 
See exactly which pages ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI agents actually read when answering questions. This is the foundation of effective Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). 
AEO Content Gap Detection 
Discover what critical information is missing from your most-accessed pages. Know what to add so AI agents can confidently recommend your site when users ask relevant questions. 
What Makes This Different: The Optimization Layer 
Most AI analytics plugins stop at tracking. This one also lets you optimize what AI agents see. 
Serve LLM-optimized versions of your pages — restructured with structured Q&A, comparison data, and testimonial cues — so ChatGPT and Claude get your complete story, not just whatever text they happen to parse. Analytics + action, not just a dashboard. 
This is the only WordPress plugin that tracks AI agent visits AND optimizes what they see.
<h3>Cache Compatibility</h3>
This plugin includes built-in support for bypassing cache on AI bot requests for: 
* WP Engine – via <code>wpe_is_cacheable</code> filter 
* WP Rocket – via <code>do_rocket_generate_caching_files</code> filter 
* LiteSpeed Cache – via <code>litespeed_can_cache</code> filter and <code>LSCACHE_NO_CACHE</code> constant 
* W3 Total Cache – via <code>w3tc_can_cache</code> filter 
* WP Super Cache – via <code>wp_super_cache_late_init</code> filter 
* SiteGround Optimizer – via <code>sg_optimizer_cache_is_enabled</code> filter 
* Kinsta – via cache-control headers 
* Cloudflare APO – via cookie-based bypass 
Server-Level Caching (Nginx, Varnish, CDN) 
If you use server-level caching that runs BEFORE PHP/WordPress, you may need additional configuration: 
For Nginx FastCGI Cache, add to your server config:
<pre><code>if ($http_user_agent ~* "(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)") {
 set $skip_cache 1;
}
</code></pre>
For Varnish, add to your VCL:
<pre><code>if (req.http.User-Agent ~ "(?i)(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)") {
 return (pass);
}
</code></pre>
For Cloudflare (non-APO), create a Cache Rule: 
– When: <code>User Agent contains "ChatGPT" or "GPTBot" or "ClaudeBot" or "PerplexityBot"</code> 
– Then: Bypass cache 
The plugin sends <code>X-Salespeak-AI-Bot: 1</code> header for AI bot requests to help with debugging.
<h3>Safety & Performance</h3>
This plugin is designed to have ZERO impact on normal visitors: 
* All cache bypass logic only executes when the User-Agent matches a known AI bot pattern 
* For non-AI requests, all filter callbacks immediately return the original value (pass-through) 
* No headers, cookies, or constants are set for normal visitor requests 
* AI bot detection is cached per-request to avoid repeated regex checks 
* The plugin only modifies behavior for an explicit list of known AI bot User-Agent strings: 
 * ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, Claude-User, Claude-Web, ClaudeBot 
 * PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, bingpreview, OpenAI 
 * Applebot-Extended, CCBot, anthropic-ai, cohere-ai
