Amplest LLC

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.

<li>AI Score Widget — See your AI visibility score directly in the WordPress dashboard.</li>
</ul>

<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.

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
