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>.
