citationrate

CitationRate AI Visibility measures how “citable” your WordPress content is by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews — giving each page a Citability Score right inside the Block Editor, as you write.
The plugin computes a 0–100 score locally from 33 on-page signals (heading structure, page description, length, readability, image alt text, internal/external links, schema markup, source citations and more) and offers a guided JSON-LD wizard to generate the correct Schema.org markup.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Live score in the Block Editor — a sidebar that updates as you type, no saving needed</li>
<li>5 macro-area breakdown — Coherence, Identity, Content, Performance, Reputation, each with a plain-language explanation</li>
<li>Actionable suggestions — a prioritized list of what to improve</li>
<li>Guided JSON-LD wizard — 13 content types (Article, Blog post, News, FAQ, Tutorial, Recipe, Review, Video, Product, Service, Event, Course, Job posting). Fields are auto-filled from your content; you never edit raw JSON</li>
<li>Citation Rate estimate — an illustrative projection of how often AI would cite the page</li>
<li>English and Italian — the plugin follows your WordPress language</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy-friendly, no server cost</h4>
The lite score is computed entirely on your own WordPress. No external API calls and no data sent to third parties in the default mode.
<h3>External services</h3>
In its default (lite) mode, CitationRate AI Visibility does not send any data to external services — the score is computed locally on your site.
The plugin links out to the CitationRate platform for optional features. These are plain links that open in a new tab when the user clicks them; the plugin itself does not transmit any data:
<ul>
<li>“Complete your score” / “powered by” → https://suite.citationrate.com (the CitationRate web app)</li>
<li>“Discover your Citation Rate” → https://avi.citationrate.com (the AI Visibility Index web app)</li>
</ul>
An optional CitationRate API key field is available in the settings for a future full-audit integration. Only if you enter a key and use that feature would page content be sent to the CitationRate backend for analysis. Without a key, nothing is sent.

<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin computes the Citability Score locally and works fully offline by default. It connects to an external service in only two cases, both under your control:
<ol>
<li>
Optional API key — if you enter a CitationRate API key under Settings, the plugin sends the current post’s content to the CitationRate API to unlock the full audit. No key, no request.
</li>
<li>
Optional anonymous usage statistics — if you tick the “anonymous usage statistics” checkbox (off by default), the plugin sends coarse, anonymous usage events to the CitationRate telemetry endpoint at https://citationrate-backend-production.up.railway.app/widget/telemetry. Each event contains a random install ID (a UUID generated on your site, not linked to you or your domain), the event name, a coarse bucket (e.g. content type, score band, button id), the plugin version and your site locale. It never includes your IP address, your page URLs or any page content. Disable the checkbox to stop all such requests.
</li>
</ol>
The service is operated by CitationRate. Terms: https://citationrate.com/ — Privacy policy: https://citationrate.com/privacy/

SchemaSense automatically scans your WordPress posts and pages to identify question and answer pairs, then generates proper FAQ schema markup (FAQPage JSON-LD). This structured data helps AI systems and Large Language Models (LLMs) better understand and surface your content in AI-generated responses, while also improving search engine visibility (SEO) with rich snippets in search results.
The plugin also optionally formats existing FAQ blocks as minimalistic accordions (collapsible/expandable), providing an improved user experience for visitors browsing your Q&A content.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>GEO, AIO & SEO Ready – Structured data optimized for AI systems, LLMs and traditional SEO</li>
<li>Automatic Detection – Intelligently identifies Q&A patterns in your content</li>
<li>Universal Compatibility – Works with Classic Editor, Gutenberg, and all page builders (Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, WPBakery, etc.)</li>
<li>Multiple Formats – Supports headings, paragraphs (including bold), HTML5 details/summary accordions, and Q:/A: format</li>
<li>Multilingual Support – Works with 15+ languages (Latin-based question marks)</li>
<li>Smart Exclusions – Won’t interfere with Yoast or other FAQ plugins that add their own schema</li>
<li>Automatic for Posts – Posts auto-process on save; pages require manual scanning</li>
<li>Separate Batch Processing – Individual scan buttons for posts and pages</li>
<li>Optional Collapsible UI – Enhance Q&A with expand/collapse functionality</li>
<li>Performance Optimized – Schema cached in post meta, not regenerated on every load</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
The plugin uses multiple detection strategies:
1. FAQ Section Detection (standard HTML – works with all editors/builders) 
* Looks for headings containing FAQ keywords (e.g., “FAQ”, “Frequently Asked Questions”, “Common Questions”) 
* Scans headings and paragraphs within that section for Q&A pairs 
* Works with Classic Editor, Gutenberg, and all page builders
2. HTML5 Details/Summary Detection (modern page builders) 
* Detects accordion widgets using <code><details></code> and <code><summary></code> elements 
* Commonly used by Elementor, Beaver Builder, and other modern page builders
3. Gutenberg Block Detection 
* Native support for WordPress blocks 
* Parses block structure directly for optimal accuracy
<h3>What schema types does the plugin support?</h3>
Currently, the plugin supports FAQ (FAQPage) schema only. It generates JSON-LD structured data with the <code>@type: "FAQPage"</code> format, which includes <code>Question</code> and <code>Answer</code> entities. Support for additional schema types (HowTo, Recipe, Product, etc.) may be added in future versions.
<h3>Does this work with Gutenberg?</h3>
Yes! The plugin supports both Classic Editor and Gutenberg (Block Editor). It can parse both Gutenberg blocks and HTML content.
<h3>How does the plugin detect questions and answers?</h3>
The plugin uses intelligent pattern detection with strict scoping to avoid false positives:
FAQ Section Detection: 
* Looks for headings containing FAQ keywords (e.g., “FAQ”, “FAQs”, “Frequently Asked Questions”, “Common Questions”) 
* Supports 15+ languages with multilingual FAQ heading recognition 
* Once an FAQ section is detected, the plugin scans content within that section only
Question Detection (within FAQ sections only): 
* Heading-based questions: Sub-headings at deeper levels than the FAQ heading (e.g., h3/h4 under an h2 FAQ heading) are treated as questions 
 – No punctuation required 
 – Minimum 5 characters 
* Paragraph-based questions: Paragraphs ending with “?” 
 – Must be between 5-250 characters 
 – Automatically handles bold (<code></code>), italic (<code></code>), or plain text formatting 
 – Example: <code>What is this?</code>
Answer Detection: 
* Any paragraph following a detected question is treated as the answer 
* Multiple consecutive paragraphs are combined into a single answer
Section Boundaries: 
* FAQ section ends when a heading at the same level or higher than the FAQ heading is encountered 
* This prevents false detection of questions in subsequent sections 
* Example: If FAQ section starts with <code><h2></code>, any other <code><h2></code> or <code><h1></code> ends the FAQ section
Additional Format: 
* Q:/A: Format: Explicit “Q:” and “A:” patterns are supported anywhere in content (not limited to FAQ sections)
<h3>Which languages are supported?</h3>
The plugin supports 15+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, and Turkish. All supported languages use the standard Latin question mark (?) for question detection.
<h3>Will it conflict with Yoast SEO or other FAQ plugins?</h3>
No. The plugin automatically detects and skips content managed by Yoast FAQ blocks, Elementor FAQ widgets, and other popular FAQ plugins to prevent duplicate schema markup.
<h3>Can I customize the styling?</h3>
Yes. Override the <code>.ssd-*</code> CSS classes in your theme to customize the collapsible FAQ appearance.
<h3>Which languages are supported for FAQ detection?</h3>
The plugin supports 15+ languages (all use standard Latin question mark <code>?</code> for paragraph-based questions):
<ul>
<li>English</li>
<li>Spanish (Español)</li>
<li>French (Français)</li>
<li>German (Deutsch)</li>
<li>Italian (Italiano)</li>
<li>Portuguese (Português)</li>
<li>Dutch (Nederlands)</li>
<li>Polish (Polski)</li>
<li>Russian (Русский)</li>
<li>Swedish (Svenska)</li>
<li>Danish (Dansk)</li>
<li>Norwegian (Norsk)</li>
<li>Finnish (Suomi)</li>
<li>Czech (Čeština)</li>
<li>Turkish (Türkçe)</li>
</ul>
Note: Languages using non-Latin question marks (Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, CJK languages) are not currently supported for paragraph-based question detection.
