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.
<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 Site Authority 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 E-E-A-T metadata 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 Custom Instructions textarea — add guidance for AI systems directly into your llms.txt header</li>
<li>Smart -aware content truncation 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>
<li>One-time admin notice with suggested robots.txt AI-bot directives (dismissible)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free tier</h4>
<ul>
<li>Up to 5 pages indexed</li>
<li>200 log entries stored</li>
<li>80-word content excerpts in llms-full.txt</li>
<li>Site Authority section</li>
<li>Custom llms.txt instructions</li>
<li>All core features</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro tier</h4>
<ul>
<li>Unlimited pages indexed</li>
<li>5,000 log entries</li>
<li>CSV export of crawler logs</li>
<li>300-word content excerpts (respects <!–more–>)</li>
<li>Image tags in llms-sitemap.xml</li>
<li>Tag data included in LLM files</li>
<li>Rich E-E-A-T author metadata: bio + credentials per item</li>
<li>Word count and reading time per item</li>
<li>Featured Content — pin posts with <code>_kss_featured</code> meta to the top of LLM files and sitemap</li>
<li>Top Crawled Pages — see which of your pages AI bots visit most</li>
<li>Shortcode <code>featured="only"</code> attribute to display only featured items</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why llms.txt?</h4>
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.
<h4>GEO / AIO Optimization</h4>
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.
<h3>External Services</h3>
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.
What data is sent and when: 
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:
<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>
No personal data, user data, post content, or any other site information is transmitted. The free version of the plugin never contacts this service.
Service details: 
* Provider: Kennedy Media Group 
* Endpoint: https://kennedymedia.com/wp-json/kssr-license/v1/verify 
* Terms of Service: https://kennedymedia.com/terms/ 
* Privacy Policy: https://kennedymedia.com/privacy-2/
This plugin does not connect to any other external services. All LLM file generation and AI crawler logging happens entirely on your own server.

AI assistants now answer the questions your readers used to type into Google, often using your content. Are they citing you, or sending people to a competitor? Unsourced is the WordPress plugin for <a href="https://unsourced.app" rel="nofollow ugc">Unsourced</a>, the evidence layer for AI search, also known as GEO (generative engine optimization), AEO (answer engine optimization), or AI SEO.
Unsourced shows independent publishers and content creators which AI assistants cite them, who is really crawling their site, and whether their fixes actually move the needle, backed by verified evidence, not the inferred “AI visibility scores” most tools sell.
Server-side bot detection: catches the bots that skip JavaScript
Most analytics tools are blind to AI crawlers because bots like GPTBot and ClaudeBot never execute JavaScript. This plugin runs inside WordPress at the PHP level, checks every request against 22 known AI bot signatures, and logs each visit to your Unsourced dashboard with zero impact on page load time. The server-side layer is what actually catches AI crawlers, and the plugin adds no JavaScript to your pages.
Bot Trust: verified, impostor, or unverifiable
Anyone can put “GPTBot” in a User-Agent string. Unsourced verifies each crawler’s true identity against the operator’s published IP ranges and forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS), then sorts every visitor into Verified, Impostor, or Unverifiable, with honest, copy-paste block rules. You see who is genuinely OpenAI or Anthropic, and who is just wearing the badge.
AI citation monitoring: are they citing you or a competitor?
Beyond crawl detection, Unsourced runs weekly citation checks across 7 AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity. It generates high-intent questions tailored to your actual content topics (the same kind of questions your audience types into AI assistants), then checks whether the AI cites your domain or sends users to a competitor instead.
Every check is logged: which AI platform, which prompt, whether you were cited, what context surrounded the mention, and which competitor domains appeared instead. You get a clear picture of your AI search presence across all 7 models Unsourced monitors.
Origin Signal: live crawl or training data?
When an AI assistant’s answer reproduces your wording, Unsourced checks whether a verified AI crawler (caught by this plugin’s server-side detection) actually fetched that page in the same window. If it did, the citation is backed by a live crawl rather than older training data. Each match is logged with a timestamp and the scan window it belongs to.
Combined with your bot-visit logs and citation results, that gives you a documented, timestamped record of live use of your content, a starting point for licensing conversations or escalation.
Measured lift: did your fix actually work?
When Unsourced flags a gap (a topic where AI recommends a competitor instead of you) and you act on it, you can mark it actioned. Unsourced then re-checks that exact topic about a week later and tells you whether your citations actually moved: measured evidence of a change, not a promise. No causation is overclaimed; you simply see the before and after.
What you see in your dashboard:
<ul>
<li>Which AI bots visited, which pages, and how often, and which are Verified, Impostor, or Unverifiable</li>
<li>Your citation rate across all 7 AI models: ChatGPT, ChatGPT (web search), Claude, Gemini (grounded search), Grok, Meta Llama and Perplexity</li>
<li>Which competitor domains are cited instead of you, and for which topics</li>
<li>Whether each citation came from a live crawl of your page or from older training data</li>
<li>Whether a fix you actioned produced measured lift on its topic</li>
<li>Weekly AI Visibility Audit and Evidence Report PDFs, generated from your live data</li>
</ul>
Detected bots (22 signatures): 
* GPTBot, ChatGPT-User & OAI-SearchBot (OpenAI)

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin sends data to Unsourced (https://unsourced.app), an external service that logs and displays AI bot activity and citation intelligence for your site. A connection to this service is required for the plugin to function.
What data is transmitted:
<ul>
<li>Your site URL</li>
<li>The URL of the page being visited by the bot</li>
<li>The detected bot name and raw User-Agent string</li>
<li>The visitor IP address</li>
</ul>
When data is sent:
Only when a valid Unsourced API key has been configured in the plugin settings. Bot event reporting fires only when a request matches a known AI bot signature, sending the details above. The plugin also contacts Unsourced when you connect and verify your account, sending your site URL and API key. Human visitors are not affected by bot reporting.
