Bring Your Own API Key (BYOK)
HiveEO uses your own API keys (Gemini, OpenAI, Perplexity). Keys are stored in your WordPress database. AI generation requests are routed through the haiv3.com relay service (see External Services below) which fetches the prompt template and returns it to your server — your API key is then used on your server to call the AI provider directly.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external services:
1. Google Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) 
Used to generate community comments, seed threads, AI product descriptions, and visibility probe responses. Requests are made only when you click a generate button — never automatically. Your Gemini API key is sent directly from your WordPress server to Google. Data sent includes your prompt text (business context, product details, thread content). See Google’s <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.
2. OpenAI API (api.openai.com) 
Used optionally in the Visibility Tracker to probe ChatGPT responses. Only used if you add an OpenAI API key in Settings. See OpenAI’s <a href="https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.
3. Perplexity API (api.perplexity.ai) 
Used optionally in the Visibility Tracker to probe Perplexity responses. Only used if you add a Perplexity API key in Settings. See Perplexity’s <a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/legal/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/legal/terms-of-service" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.
4. Reddit API (reddit.com) 
Used in the Threads tab to fetch live trending threads from relevant subreddits. Requests are made only when you click “Refresh live threads” — never automatically. No personal data is sent. Data received includes public post titles, scores, and URLs. See Reddit’s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/policies/user-agreement" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.
5. Hacker News API (hacker-news.firebaseio.com) 
Used in the Threads tab to fetch live trending Hacker News stories. Requests are made only when you click “Refresh live threads” — never automatically. No personal data is sent.

<h3>Local Data Storage</h3>
AI Bot Visit Log 
The plugin optionally logs visits from known AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc.) to your site. This data is stored entirely within your own WordPress database — no data is sent to any external service. Each log entry stores: the bot name, the URL visited, the timestamp, and a 12-character hash of the visitor IP address (derived using your site’s WordPress salt — the original IP is never stored). This log is used only to display AI crawler activity in the Infrastructure panel.

HiveEO — AI Search Visibility Suite

EZY.ai

EZY.ai – The #1 AEO & AI SEO Plugin for WordPress. Get found on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot.
The way people search is changing. ChatGPT now has 900M+ weekly users asking for recommendations instead of Googling – and AI search visitors convert at significantly higher rates than traditional search traffic. Without proper Answer Engine Optimization, AI engines either skip your site, cite outdated information, or recommend competitors with cleaner signals.
EZY.ai is the complete Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform for WordPress. Auto-generates and maintains every technical file AI engines need – directly on your site, under your control.
Real attributed results: Galliard Homes traced an £800,000 property sale to a ChatGPT referral. Transputec hit 774% growth in AI assistant visits in under 90 days. GlocuRX hit 332% growth.
<h3>EZY vs. Other AEO Plugins</h3>
<ul>
<li>Yoast: Generates a basic llms.txt URL list. No AEO analytics, no AI bot tracking.</li>
<li>Rank Math: Same – config screen for llms.txt, no AEO-specific analytics.</li>
<li>Other AEO plugins: Mostly generate schema only. None track AI bot visits, prompt visibility, or competitor citations.</li>
<li>EZY.ai: Full AEO stack – llms.txt + llms-full.txt + facts + schema + meta + AI analytics + competitor tracking + Reddit monitoring. Generated content scores 95%+ on AI quality tests – far higher than basic URL-list generators.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Content Quality That Actually Gets Cited</h3>
Most AEO plugins generate basic URL lists or thin schema. EZY runs deep LLM analysis on your live, rendered site – producing files that score 95%+ when tested by major AI models.
The difference shows up where it matters: in citations. AI engines reward enriched, factual, well-structured content. They ignore generic URL dumps. We’ve spent six months tuning our content generation to maximise citation eligibility – and the results show in the numbers.
<h3>Set It and Forget It</h3>
EZY runs continuously in the background:
<ul>
<li>Weekly: Tests your domain against 5+ prompts in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini</li>
<li>Weekly: Tracks competitor citations and surfaces content gaps</li>
<li>Weekly: Auto-publishes optimised blog posts to your WordPress site</li>
<li>Real-time: Logs every AI bot visit and every AI-referred human user</li>
<li>Real-time: Re-syncs your llms.txt, schema, and meta when content changes</li>
</ul>
Most AEO plugins are one-time fixes. EZY is an ongoing service.
<h3>What EZY.ai Builds and Maintains on Your Site</h3>
1. AI Readiness & Technical Files
<ul>
<li><code>llms.txt</code> and <code>llms-full.txt</code> – machine-readable summaries AI engines use to understand your business</li>
<li><code>robots.txt</code> with explicit AI crawler permissions – without it, some AI engines skip your site by default</li>
<li>AI <code>sitemap.xml</code> – purpose-built for AI crawlers, kept in sync as your site changes</li>
<li><code>facts.jsonld</code> – feeds direct facts about your business straight to AI models</li>
</ul>
2. Structured Data & Schema
<ul>
<li>Bulk Schema.org injection – full creation, optimisation and injection across your site</li>
<li>Entity optimisation – helps machines understand the context of your content</li>
<li>Meta description automation – created, optimised and injected at scale</li>
</ul>
3. Analytics & Tracking
<ul>
<li>Prompt tracking – we test your domain against 5+ prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini every week. See exactly where you appear and where you don’t.</li>
<li>Citation tracking – see exactly where you appear (or don’t) for each prompt.</li>
<li>AI agent + AI-referred user tracking – see every AI bot visit (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot) AND every human visitor who arrived from an AI tool. Two views: are AI engines indexing you, and are AI users actually clicking through?</li>
<li>Competitor analysis – automatically track competitor citations across AI engines weekly. See where rivals appear that you don’t.</li>
<li>Reddit detector – track your Reddit presence and mentions.</li>
<li>Visibility score – proprietary EZY.ai score, tracked over time.</li>
</ul>
4. Content & Authority
<ul>
<li>AI-assisted blogs – auto-generate and publish optimised blog posts to your WordPress site weekly. Set it once, EZY runs the content engine for you.</li>
<li>FAQ page generation – automatically generates dedicated FAQ hubs.</li>
<li>Authority scanner – see which pages have high authority for your topics.</li>
<li>Submission tools – submit directly to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why EZY.ai is Different</h3>
<ul>
<li>Files live on your site, not ours. Files generated directly on your WordPress site, under your domain – not served from our cloud. More durable, more in your control.</li>
<li>Real automation, not just audits. EZY.ai’s Site-Fixer technology doesn’t just find problems – it solves them.</li>
<li>Official WordPress.org and Cloudflare partner. Built on the infrastructure that already powers most of the web. Cloudflare Worker integration available for non-WordPress sites.</li>
<li>Built for agencies too. White-label dashboard at $29 per client for agencies managing multiple sites – bundle AEO into your existing offering.</li>
<li>Free forever on the plugin and analytics. $29/month upgrade unlocks advanced features like competitor tracking and automatic blog posting.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install the plugin and activate.</li>
<li>Connect your free EZY.ai account through the connection wizard.</li>
<li>Generate and upload your llms.txt, robots.txt and schema in two clicks.</li>
<li>Watch AI visits, citations and engine breakdown in your dashboard.</li>
</ol>
