AI is changing how people find your website. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews are replacing traditional search for millions of users. If AI can’t find your content, you’re invisible to a growing audience.
citelayer® makes your WordPress site visible to AI — instantly. No coding, no configuration. Install, activate, done.
<h4>🤖 AI Bot Analytics — Know Who’s Crawling Your Site</h4>

<h4>🔍 Get Found by AI Search Engines</h4>
Your site gets an llms.txt file — a new standard that tells AI crawlers what your site is about, what content you publish, and what products you sell. Think of it as robots.txt, but for AI.
<h4>📊 Speak AI’s Language with Schema.org</h4>
Automatically generates structured data (JSON-LD) that AI agents actually understand — your organization info, articles, products, and more. Better structured data = better AI recommendations.
<h4>📄 Serve Clean Content to AI Agents</h4>
When ChatGPT or Perplexity visit your page, citelayer® serves an optimized Markdown version instead of messy HTML. This uses 80% fewer tokens and gives AI a crystal-clear picture of your content.
<h4>🛡️ Stay in Control of Your Content</h4>
Configure how AI systems may use your content — allow or deny training, search indexing, and RAG/context usage. Your content, your rules.
<h4>🛒 Works with WooCommerce</h4>
If you run a shop, citelayer® makes your products visible to AI:
<ul>
<li>Product data automatically included in llms.txt</li>
<li>Product Schema.org markup generated</li>
<li>Product pages served as structured Markdown tables</li>
<li>AI agents can discover your shop via UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol)</li>
</ul>
<h4>📈 Why AI Visibility Matters Now</h4>
<ul>
<li>58% of online searches will involve AI by the end of 2026</li>
<li>Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) are the next evolution of SEO</li>
<li>Sites without AI-readable content are invisible to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and AI Overviews</li>
<li>citelayer® is the easiest way to make your WordPress site AI-ready</li>
</ul>

Is ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini crawling your website? This plugin automatically tracks every AI bot visit to give you the data you need! 🤖
LLM Bot Tracker is the most comprehensive AI crawler analytics plugin for WordPress, providing automatic 24/7 monitoring of artificial intelligence bots, search crawlers, and web scrapers accessing your content.
<h4>🎯 How It Works</h4>
Install → Activate → Done!
That’s it. The plugin immediately starts tracking all AI bot activity in the background. No configuration needed. View your data anytime in the admin dashboard at Tools > LLM Crawler Logs.
<h4>🚀 Why Track AI Bots & Crawlers?</h4>
The web is changing. AI-powered search engines like Perplexity, You.com, and SearchGPT are revolutionizing how people find information. Traditional SEO isn’t enough anymore – you need LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization).

Without this data, you’re flying blind in the AI era of search.
