citedon

Buyers increasingly ask AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) what to use, and those engines answer with a short list of names. Being on that list starts with being “agent-ready”: technically structured so AI engines and agents can read your pages, understand them, and recommend them.
Citedon makes and keeps your site agent-ready. The Citedon service audits your pages, measures across multiple AI engines whether you are being recommended, and generates the agent-ready structured data (schema) your pages are missing. The Citedon Connector is the part that applies that structured data to your WordPress site and reports back, so the service can verify the change and keep it current as the engines shift.
Citedon sells readiness, a technical state we can measure, apply, and maintain. We prove it with real multi-engine measurement. We never promise that any engine will cite you, because that is controlled by the engines, not by us.
The brain stays on the Citedon service. This plugin is a thin client. It fetches the agent-ready JSON-LD your Citedon project generates for each page, merges it into your site, and reports what it applied. It does not contain the audit, the measurement, or the schema-generation logic; those run on the Citedon service, which does the substantial work.
How it works
<ul>
<li>Connect once with a site key from your Citedon dashboard.</li>
<li>On each page, the plugin fetches that page’s agent-ready data from the Citedon service.</li>
<li>It merges the data into your existing schema graph through Yoast or Rank Math, or emits it on its own if no SEO plugin owns the graph.</li>
<li>It reports what it applied so the Citedon WATCH can re-check and re-apply over time.</li>
</ul>
Safe by design
<ul>
<li>Additive only. It adds missing nodes and properties; it never edits your content or overwrites your existing schema.</li>
<li>No duplication. If your site already declares a schema type, Citedon wires into it instead of adding a second one.</li>
<li>Consent-gated. The connector only applies recommendations you have approved in your Citedon dashboard.</li>
<li>Validated. A pre-publish guard drops any change that would break your schema graph, so bad structured data never reaches a live page.</li>
<li>Reversible. Deactivate the plugin (or turn off the Enabled toggle) and the augmentation stops. Uninstalling removes every setting it stored.</li>
<li>Encrypted. The site key is only sent over HTTPS.</li>
</ul>
You need a Citedon account
This plugin connects to the Citedon service using a site key you generate in your dashboard at https://citedon.com. The free plan covers the readiness audit. Applying the agent-ready layer and continuous monitoring are paid plans. See https://citedon.com/pricing.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Citedon service (https://citedon.com), an external software-as-a-service that performs the agent-readiness audit, multi-engine measurement, and structured-data generation. The plugin is a client for that service and requires a Citedon account and site key to function.
What is sent, and when:
<ul>
<li>When you click “Test connection”, or on each page render while enabled: your site address, the address (URL) of the page being rendered, and your Citedon site key, sent to the Citedon service so it can return the agent-ready structured data for that page and verify what was applied.</li>
<li>When the connector applies or skips a recommendation: a small before/after summary of the page’s schema graph (node counts, schema @types, and @ids) so the service can verify the change. No page body content and no visitor data are sent.</li>
</ul>
The plugin sends data only to the Citedon service address you configure (which must use HTTPS). It does not load executable code from any external source; it fetches structured data (JSON-LD) only, and validates it before use.

Citedon, AI Search Readiness & Schema

Make your site agent-ready for AI search. Citedon adds the structured data AI engines look for, additively through Yoast, Rank Math, or on its own.

Want ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews citing your WordPress site? AEO God Mode gives you every signal those engines look for. Free forever for the basics. Pro at <a href="https://aeogodmode.io" rel="nofollow ugc">https://aeogodmode.io</a> if you want to measure who’s actually citing you.
This plugin handles Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). Also called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI Optimization (AIO), AI SEO, LLM SEO, Generative AI Optimization (GAIO), AEOSEO, ASEO, AI Search Optimization, ChatGPT SEO. Same job, different acronyms. Get your content structured, accessible, and trusted by the AI engines that are quietly replacing search results.
<h4>🚨 Why Your Site Is Invisible to AI Right Now</h4>
Yoast and Rank Math were built for Google in 2015. They have no idea what an AI answer engine wants. Your site probably has no AI bot allowlist, no schema for AI to parse, no E-E-A-T author signals, no answer-shaped content, no citation tracking. ChatGPT and Perplexity skip you and cite your competitors instead.
AEO God Mode fixes that. It runs alongside Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, or All in One SEO. Imports their settings on install. Adds the AI visibility layer none of them cover. Never overwrites your titles, meta, canonicals, or sitemaps.
<h4>🆓 What You Get For Free (No Account Required)</h4>
✅ AI Crawler Allowlist (18 bots). Choose which AI engines can use your content. Allow ChatGPT and Perplexity, block the rest, do whatever you want. See screenshot 2.
✅ llms.txt Generator. Auto-writes a machine-readable summary of your most important content. Acts as a “welcome mat” for AI agents that read it during inference (a proposed standard, not a hard requirement, but useful when AI agents do honour it). See screenshot 9.
✅ Schema Engine (FAQ, HowTo, Article, Product, Organization, LocalBusiness, Speakable, more). Auto-tags your content so AI knows what each page is. See screenshot 4.
✅ Schema Conflict Detector. Already running Yoast or Rank Math? Never get duplicate or fighting schema. The detector defers to your existing plugin. See screenshot 4.
✅ Schema Validator. Pass, warn, or fail per page. Fix broken structured data before AI engines or Google penalise you.
✅ Content Gap Scanner. Finds pages without FAQs, schema, or answer-shaped content. Action list with one-click fixes. See screenshot 5.
✅ Editor Panel. Edit AEO settings inside the Gutenberg sidebar where you write. No bouncing between editors.
✅ AI Metadata Generator (10 free credits/month). Writes Search and LLM-optimised meta titles, meta descriptions, and product descriptions in 5 styles. Run on a single post or bulk-generate across many. See screenshot 10.
✅ Robots.txt Manager. Generates the AI bot rules some engines need to find you at all.
✅ AI HTTP Headers. Server-level AI directives some engines respect even when they ignore robots.txt.
✅ AI Crawler Log. Every AI bot visit timestamped. Proof ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are crawling you. Or proof they’re not, so you can fix it.
✅ AEO Health Dashboard (also a WordPress widget). One score for AI readiness, right on your wp-admin home. See screenshot 1.
✅ Setup Wizard (5 screens, under 5 minutes). Auto-detects Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, imports settings. See screenshot 8.
✅ Yoast / Rank Math / SEOPress compatibility. Runs alongside whichever SEO plugin you use. Your titles, meta, canonicals, and sitemaps stay untouched.
<h4>⭐ What Pro Adds (Get a license at https://aeogodmode.io)</h4>
⚡ Citation Tracker. The point of all this. Did ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude cite your site this week? Citation Tracker queries all four AI engines directly with your customer queries and reports who got cited. You or your competitors. Real proof across every major engine, not just two. No other AEO plugin on WordPress measures this. See screenshot 3.
⚡ Citability Score (0 to 100 per page). Predicts how likely AI engines will cite each page. Based on the 10 signals AI engines actually look for. Per-page action list tells you exactly what to fix.
⚡ AI Referral Traffic Analytics. Visitors arriving from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com, claude.ai tracked as a separate traffic source. Now you can prove how much revenue is coming from AI citations.
⚡ E-E-A-T Author Schema. Author credentials, expertise, education, and trust signals. Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT cite sources with these signals. Without them, your authors look anonymous to AI. See screenshot 6.
⚡ Google Search Console Integration. Indexing status, AI Query Explorer, and Fan-Out Cluster detection inside your AEO dashboard. See screenshot 7.
⚡ Internal Link Builder. AI tells you exactly where to add internal links so AI engines see strong topic clusters and cite you as the topic expert.
⚡ Section Index. AI engines cite paragraphs, not whole pages. Section Index analyses every H2 and H3 so you know which sections are quote-worthy and which need rewriting.
⚡ Bulk Actions. Fix AEO across hundreds of posts in minutes from your normal Posts and Pages screens. Bulk-regenerate metadata, bulk-add FAQ schema, bulk-refresh llms.txt entries.
⚡ Unlimited AI Metadata Generation. No 5-credit-per-month cap. Bulk-regenerate titles and descriptions across hundreds of posts. Test multiple styles across categories.
⚡ AI Crawler Intelligence. 30-day activity charts, Top Crawled Pages, and Blind Spots report (the pages AI bots are ignoring).
<h4>🤖 AI Engines Supported</h4>

<h4>💪 Why AEO God Mode Beats Other AEO Plugins</h4>
Most AEO plugins for WordPress generate a basic llms.txt URL list and call it a day. AEO God Mode goes further:
✅ Real citation verification (Pro). We ask the actual AI engines who they’re citing. Other plugins guess from crawler logs.
✅ Files live on YOUR site (Free). Your llms.txt, schema, and metadata served from your own domain. Not piped through somebody else’s cloud.
✅ Free forever, no account (Free). The whole AEO toolkit works without signing up. Other plugins gate basic llms.txt behind a SaaS account.
✅ Citability Score (Pro). Per-page predictive scoring no other AEO plugin offers.
✅ Built-in E-E-A-T author schema (Pro). Proper author authority markup. Other plugins skip this entirely.
✅ Yoast / Rank Math compatibility (Free). Imports your existing settings. Never overwrites your titles or meta.
<h4>👥 Who AEO God Mode Is For</h4>
✅ SaaS companies wanting ChatGPT to recommend their software 
✅ Local businesses wanting to appear in AI location answers 
✅ E-commerce stores (WooCommerce + EDD supported) wanting AI shopping visibility 
✅ Agencies managing AEO across many client sites 
✅ Publishers and media wanting to be quoted as a source 
✅ Solo creators and consultants finally getting visible in AI search
<h4>🛠️ Want a Team to Just Run This For You?</h4>
AEO God Mode is the technical layer. Metronyx AI is the team that runs the strategy on top.
We’re a managed SEO + AEO agency built by the same crew who built this plugin. Not a “we’ll set up your llms.txt” service. Full-stack work: AI Visibility Audits, technical SEO, schema engineering, AI crawler config, AEO-BLUF content (Bottom Line Up Front, engineered for AI citation extraction), content rewrites, brand mentions and entity building across Reddit and YouTube, competitor citation tracking, link building, and weekly reporting.
What’s different: smart onboarding. We start executing day one, not after a month of paperwork. Most clients see citations climbing within 90 days. Typical agencies take 12 months to even start.
Every client gets a self-contained dashboard tracking citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude in real time. No guessing what your agency is doing.
