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.

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.

<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.
