When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity “who’s a good [your industry] near me?” — what does the AI say about your site? If it can’t read you clearly, it doesn’t give you a bad review. It just doesn’t mention you. You never see the miss.
Caidance — AI-Readiness Score scans your active WordPress site for the signals AI search and AI agents look for, gives you a 0–60 score with a clear band (Starter / Builder / Operator / Leader), and tells you in plain English the top three things to fix first.
It runs entirely on your site. No account required, no data sent anywhere, no external API calls.
<h4>What gets checked</h4>
Ten local checks run against your site:
<ol>
<li>llms.txt — the file AI agents check first</li>
<li>Sitemap declared in robots.txt — so AI can find your content</li>
<li>Organization schema — so AI knows who you are</li>
<li>WebSite schema with SearchAction — so AI can map your site</li>
<li>FAQPage schema — direct answers AI can cite</li>
<li>Article schema on posts — so blog content gets surfaced</li>
<li>Author / Person schema — for E-E-A-T signals</li>
<li>Open Graph + Twitter cards — for AI preview generation</li>
<li>Canonical tags — to prevent duplicate-content confusion</li>
<li>AI crawler access — does robots.txt allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, and Google-Extended? (Toggleable.)</li>
</ol>
Each check returns a clear pass / partial / fail with a plain-English explanation. No jargon, no false alarms.
<h4>Industry-aware fix list</h4>
Pick your industry from 11 options — Financial Services, Healthcare, Legal, Home Services, Nonprofit, Professional Services, Manufacturing, eCommerce, SaaS, Education, Local Retail & Restaurants — and the fix recommendations are tailored. The fix you see is the fix that actually matters in your industry.
<h4>What this plugin does NOT do</h4>
<ul>
<li>It does not auto-fix anything. The plugin shows you the gaps; you (or your developer) close them. No invisible changes to your site.</li>
<li>It does not require a Caidance account. Install, scan, see your score.</li>
<li>It does not phone home. Zero external HTTP calls. Results are stored in your own WordPress database.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Want the full off-site picture too?</h4>
This plugin scores your WordPress site itself. If you want to see how AI agents see your business across the whole web — review sites, social, your public footprint — Caidance offers a free 60-second snapshot at <a href="https://caidance.ai/snapshot/?utm_source=wp_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=wp_org_v1" rel="nofollow ugc">caidance.ai/snapshot</a>.

LFOH AEO Pulse is a WooCommerce plugin designed for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — the practice of making your store visible to AI-powered search engines.
As more customers use ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity to find products, your store needs to be discoverable in their responses. AEO Pulse helps you track, monitor, and optimize your AI search visibility.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
LLMs.txt Generator — Automatically generate a <code>/llms.txt</code> file from your WooCommerce products. This structured text file helps AI language models understand your catalog, improving your chances of being recommended.

AI Mention Tracking — Monitor whether your store and products are being mentioned in AI search responses across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
</li>
<li>
Keyword Monitoring — Track specific keywords (brand names, product names, categories) to see how your store appears in AI-generated responses.
</li>
<li>
Optimization Tips — Get AI-powered recommendations to improve your product titles, descriptions, and structured data for better AI search visibility.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free vs Pro</h4>

<h4>Why AEO Matters</h4>
<ul>

<li>AI search engines recommend specific products and stores</li>
<li>Stores with structured data and LLMs.txt are 3x more likely to be mentioned</li>

</ul>

<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.0 or higher</li>
<li>WooCommerce 7.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 8.1 or higher</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
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).
