Your content is not getting cited by AI answer engines. Classic SEO plugins (Yoast, RankMath, AIOSEO) optimize for Google’s blue links. Citevera optimizes for the new layer that sits above them – the one that writes the answer.
Citevera is the WordPress plugin for AI search optimization. It makes your site citable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, with one-click fixes that don’t require editing theme code or touching header templates.

Premium features (active Citevera license required)
The premium tier connects the plugin to the Citevera cloud service at api.citevera.com. These features call our AI inference pipeline and require an active subscription. See the External services section below for the exact data sent and the Terms / Privacy links.
<ul>
<li>AI-powered cloud audit with per-page apply-fix buttons (calls api.citevera.com).</li>
<li>Gutenberg block toolbar: select any paragraph, click “Optimize for AI”, see a diff, accept or decline (calls our AI rewrite service).</li>
<li>Sidebar AI-answerability score inside the Gutenberg editor (cloud-scored).</li>
<li>Competitor tracking and monthly client portfolio reports at app.citevera.com.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
Citevera Free does not connect to any external service.
When you paste a license key to unlock premium features, Citevera connects to api.citevera.com (operated by Citevera) to:
<ul>
<li>Verify the key and return your tier entitlements (one request on activation; background refresh every 12 hours after).</li>
<li>Run cloud audits when you explicitly click “Run full audit”.</li>
<li>Rewrite selected content when you explicitly click “Optimize for AI” in the Gutenberg editor.</li>
</ul>
The data sent to api.citevera.com during a cloud audit is a summary of your site: post counts, active plugins, active theme, detected schema types, and a sample of up to 10 page contents. The admin previews this exact payload before the first cloud audit runs.
Rewrite requests send only the text you selected plus minimal surrounding context (post title, post type, adjacent paragraphs) for a single AI call.
