AI is reading your content. But is it recommending your site?
Every day, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Claude scrape WordPress sites to answer user questions. They use your content to build their answers — but without AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), they cite your competitor instead of you.
Strong Google SEO doesn’t fix this. A #1 ranking means nothing to AI citation. A competitor with weaker SEO can beat you in AI search if their structured data, FAQ schema, and authority signals are better configured than yours. Your content feeds the AI. Someone else gets the customer.
Amplest Autopilot adds the AEO layer that makes AI cite you — without touching your Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO configuration.
It works alongside your existing SEO setup. Never overwrites. Never conflicts. The plugin detects which SEO plugin you’re running and integrates through its official hooks — so you keep one clean <code><meta name="description"></code> and no duplicate structured data.
This plugin is the on-site engine of <a href="https://amplest.cloud" rel="nofollow ugc">Amplest</a> — an AI search optimization platform. Install it and your WordPress site connects to Amplest’s cloud intelligence: continuous LLM citation monitoring, AI-powered diagnosis, and automated fixes pushed directly to your site. The plugin handles the on-site layer; Amplest handles the strategy.
<h4>What works on your site from day one (free, no account needed)</h4>
Activate the plugin and your site immediately gets the AEO foundation that makes AI citation possible — no license key, no account, no configuration required.
<ul>
<li>Structured Data (JSON-LD) — Automatically generates and injects Organization, WebSite, Article, FAQPage, and BreadcrumbList schemas into <code><head></code>. Works alongside Yoast, Rank Math, and All in One SEO without duplicate tags.</li>
<li>Auto FAQ Detection — Scans post content for question-pattern headings (English and Japanese) and converts them into FAQPage schema automatically. No manual markup needed.</li>
<li>AEO Metabox — Add an AI summary, target keywords, and custom Q&A in the post editor to guide how AI reads and cites your content.</li>
<li>llms.txt — Dynamically serves <code>/llms.txt</code> per the llmstxt.org standard — an always-current map of your key content for AI crawlers.</li>
<li>AI Score Widget — See your AI visibility score directly in the WordPress dashboard.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What the Amplest Cloud Service adds (optional SaaS integration)</h4>

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin functions as a fully standalone tool for local schema generation, llms.txt, and the AEO metabox — no external service is required for these features.
Optionally, the plugin integrates with the Amplest cloud platform to provide AI-powered diagnostics, improvement suggestions, and automated fix delivery. When this integration is active, the plugin communicates with Amplest as described below.
<ul>
<li>Service: Amplest (https://amplest.cloud)</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://amplest.cloud/legal/terms</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://amplest.cloud/legal/privacy</li>
</ul>
<h4>Plugin → Amplest (outbound calls)</h4>
<ul>
<li>License activation / deactivation — When you click “Activate License” or “Deactivate License”, your license key and site domain are sent to <code>https://amplest.cloud/api/wp-plugin/activate</code> or <code>.../deactivate</code>. Data sent: license key, site domain.</li>
<li>Daily license verification — Once per day via WP-Cron, the plugin sends your license key and site domain to <code>https://amplest.cloud/api/wp-plugin/verify</code> to confirm subscription status. Data sent: license key, site domain.</li>
<li>AI Score retrieval — When you click “Refresh Score”, your site domain is sent to <code>https://amplest.cloud/api/wp-plugin/score</code> to fetch your current AI visibility score. Data sent: license key, site domain.</li>
<li>Scan request — When you click “Request Scan” (Operator / Autopilot plans only), your site domain is sent to <code>https://amplest.cloud/api/wp-plugin/scan</code> to trigger an LLM citation scan. Data sent: license key, site domain.</li>
<li>Pending action poll (1.5.0+) — Every 15 minutes via WP-Cron, the plugin polls <code>https://amplest.cloud/api/wp/pending-actions</code> for improvement actions approved on your Amplest dashboard, applies them locally to post meta, and reports the result to <code>https://amplest.cloud/api/wp/confirm-action</code>. Data sent: license key; data received: action id, action type, target page URL, after content. No content from your site is transmitted outbound.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Amplest → Plugin (inbound webhook)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Article drafts (1.4.0+) — When you approve a generated article in the Amplest dashboard, the Amplest service calls <code>/wp-json/amplest/v1/posts/draft</code> and passes the title, body HTML, meta description, tags, and FAQ. The plugin creates a new post with <code>post_status='draft'</code> — the post is never published automatically; you review and publish it from your WordPress admin. Meta description is synced to Yoast / Rank Math / All in One SEO meta keys when one of these plugins is detected.</li>
<li>Rollback — When you click rollback on the Amplest dashboard, the Amplest service calls <code>/wp-json/amplest/v1/rollback</code> to restore a previously saved snapshot. All operations are local (post meta read/write only).</li>
</ul>
These inbound endpoints authenticate via the <code>X-Amplest-License-Key</code> header using your installed license key. (Prior to 1.5.0, automated improvement delivery also used inbound <code>/apply-fix</code> — this is removed in 1.5.0 in favor of the pull-based model described above.)
No personal user data is collected or transmitted. Only your site domain and license key are used for outbound calls.
