<p>Kennedy Site Scout prepares your WordPress site to be read, indexed, and cited by AI systems — including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and 20+ other crawlers.</p>
<h4>What it does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Generates <code>/llms.txt</code>, <code>/llms-full.txt</code>, and <code>/llms-sitemap.xml</code> dynamically from your published content — no physical files written to disk</li>
<li>Adds a configurable <strong>Site Authority</strong> section to your LLM files with publisher name, credentials, location, areas of expertise, and biography — giving AI systems the E-E-A-T context they need to cite your content accurately</li>
<li>Includes rich <strong>E-E-A-T metadata</strong> per content item: author name, credentials (via Yoast SEO job title or user meta), and bio pulled from WordPress, Yoast SEO, and Rank Math</li>
<li>Configurable <strong>Custom Instructions</strong> textarea — add guidance for AI systems directly into your llms.txt header</li>
<li>Smart <strong>-aware content truncation</strong> so excerpt boundaries are respected</li>
<li>Logs AI crawler visits across every page of your site, not just the LLM files</li>
<li>Detects 25+ known AI bots including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Anthropic-AI, PerplexityBot, Meta ExternalAgent, Cohere AI, ByteSpider, AmazonBot, and more</li>
<li>Respects Yoast SEO and Rank Math noindex settings — excluded content stays excluded</li>
<li>Dashboard widget with bot visit stats, summary pills, settings, and one-click regeneration</li>
<li>Auto-regenerates on publish and on a configurable cron schedule</li>

</ul>
<h4>Why llms.txt?</h4>
<p>The emerging llms.txt standard gives AI systems a clean, structured entry point to your site’s content — similar to what robots.txt did for search engines. This plugin automates generating and maintaining that file, with the E-E-A-T signals that help AI systems understand and trust your content.</p>
<h4>GEO / AIO Optimization</h4>
<p>Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI Overview (AIO) visibility starts with structured, trustworthy content signals. Kennedy Site Scout v3 adds a Site Authority section and per-item E-E-A-T metadata so AI models can accurately attribute and cite your expertise.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to an external license verification service operated by Kennedy Media Group. This service is used solely to validate Pro license keys entered by users who have purchased a Pro upgrade.</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent and when:</strong><br />
The license verification endpoint is only contacted when a site administrator manually enters a license key in the plugin’s dashboard widget and clicks “Activate”. At that point, the plugin sends:</p>
<ul>
<li>The license key entered by the administrator</li>
<li>The home URL of the WordPress installation (e.g. https://example.com)</li>
</ul>
<p>No personal data, user data, post content, or any other site information is transmitted. The free version of the plugin never contacts this service.</p>
<p><strong>Service details:</strong><br />
* Provider: Kennedy Media Group<br />
* Endpoint: https://kennedymedia.com/wp-json/kssr-license/v1/verify<br />
* Terms of Service: https://kennedymedia.com/terms/<br />
* Privacy Policy: https://kennedymedia.com/privacy-2/</p>
<p>This plugin does not connect to any other external services. All LLM file generation and AI crawler logging happens entirely on your own server.</p>

<p>Block AI Crawlers directly via their IP addresses or user-agents. The blocking happens directly on the server, and not via robots.txt, so it should also block crawlers that do not respect the robots.txt.</p>
<p>This plugin may not work if you use a caching plugin that hooks before the ‘plugins_loaded’ hook. I may add compatibility in a future update.</p>
<p>After installation you need to activate blocking on the plugin settings page. The default settings should suffice, but you can add additional IP addresses, user agents or even JSON endpoints with lists of ip ranges.<br />
The visitor ip address server variable can also be customized, if your site is behind a reverse proxy and REMOTE_ADDR is not available.</p>
<p>If you want to delete all data the plugin saves in your database, activate the ‘delete all plugin data on uninstall’ option before uninstalling.</p>
