LFOH AEO Pulse is a WooCommerce plugin designed for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — the practice of making your store visible to AI-powered search engines.
As more customers use ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity to find products, your store needs to be discoverable in their responses. AEO Pulse helps you track, monitor, and optimize your AI search visibility.

AI Mention Tracking — Monitor whether your store and products are being mentioned in AI search responses across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
</li>
<li>

</li>
<li>
Optimization Tips — Get AI-powered recommendations to improve your product titles, descriptions, and structured data for better AI search visibility.
</li>
</ul>

</ul>

</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the AEO Pulse cloud API at https://woo-aeo.vercel.app to provide its core features (AI search visibility tracking, llms.txt generation, keyword monitoring). The plugin will not function without this service.
What it is and what it is used for:
The AEO Pulse cloud API runs AI keyword monitoring (querying ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity on your behalf from our servers), generates the /llms.txt content from your WooCommerce product catalog, and stores tracked keywords and results so the WordPress admin pages can render them.
What data is sent and when:
<ul>
<li>On plugin activation: site URL and a randomly generated site key are sent to register the site.</li>
<li>On the Settings page when you click “Connect to AEO Pulse”: you enter your WooCommerce REST API Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. These credentials, along with the site URL and site key, are sent to https://woo-aeo.vercel.app/api/auth/connect. They are stored on the AEO Pulse cloud service so it can read your product catalog (read-only) for keyword analysis and llms.txt generation. A JWT auth token is returned and stored locally.</li>
<li>When opening the Keywords or LLMs.txt admin pages: the locally stored JWT is sent to fetch your keyword list and llms.txt content.</li>
<li>When you add or remove a keyword: the keyword text (or its ID for deletion) is sent.</li>
<li>When you click “Regenerate” on the LLMs.txt page: the request triggers the cloud service to read your products via the stored Consumer Key/Secret and rebuild the file.</li>
<li>When the public /llms.txt URL on your site is requested by a visitor: site URL and site key are sent to fetch the cached content.</li>
<li>During scheduled keyword monitoring (Pro only): tracked keywords are sent to our servers, which then query AI providers and return results.</li>
</ul>
No customer data, order data, or payment information is ever sent. Product data accessed via the WooCommerce REST API is limited to public-facing fields (name, description, price, URL).

LFOH AEO Pulse for WooCommerce

Track and optimize your WooCommerce store for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

AI agents are visiting your website hundreds of times a month. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini. They are reading your pages, evaluating your content, and deciding whether to recommend you to their users. Can you see any of it? 
Now you can.
See it in action:
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kNL1s4heBLE?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
Based on analysis of 640,000+ AI agent crawls across B2B websites, AI agent traffic is one of the fastest-growing — and most invisible — sources of website activity. This plugin gives you complete visibility, plus the tools to act on what you find. 
AI Search Analytics 
Monitor how often AI tools access and cite your content over time — like Google Analytics, but for AI agent traffic. See trends by day, week, and month across all major AI platforms. 
Agent Identification & Analysis 
Identify exactly which AI agents are scanning your site: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and more. Understand their behavior patterns and which content draws the most visits. 
Page Performance Intelligence 
See exactly which pages ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI agents actually read when answering questions. This is the foundation of effective Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). 
AEO Content Gap Detection 
Discover what critical information is missing from your most-accessed pages. Know what to add so AI agents can confidently recommend your site when users ask relevant questions. 
What Makes This Different: The Optimization Layer 
Most AI analytics plugins stop at tracking. This one also lets you optimize what AI agents see. 
Serve LLM-optimized versions of your pages — restructured with structured Q&A, comparison data, and testimonial cues — so ChatGPT and Claude get your complete story, not just whatever text they happen to parse. Analytics + action, not just a dashboard. 
This is the only WordPress plugin that tracks AI agent visits AND optimizes what they see.
<h3>Cache Compatibility</h3>
This plugin includes built-in support for bypassing cache on AI bot requests for: 
* WP Engine – via <code>wpe_is_cacheable</code> filter 
* WP Rocket – via <code>do_rocket_generate_caching_files</code> filter 
* LiteSpeed Cache – via <code>litespeed_can_cache</code> filter and <code>LSCACHE_NO_CACHE</code> constant 
* W3 Total Cache – via <code>w3tc_can_cache</code> filter 
* WP Super Cache – via <code>wp_super_cache_late_init</code> filter 
* SiteGround Optimizer – via <code>sg_optimizer_cache_is_enabled</code> filter 
* Kinsta – via cache-control headers 
* Cloudflare APO – via cookie-based bypass 
Server-Level Caching (Nginx, Varnish, CDN) 
If you use server-level caching that runs BEFORE PHP/WordPress, you may need additional configuration: 
For Nginx FastCGI Cache, add to your server config:
<pre><code>if ($http_user_agent ~* "(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)") {
 set $skip_cache 1;
}
</code></pre>
For Varnish, add to your VCL:
<pre><code>if (req.http.User-Agent ~ "(?i)(ChatGPT|GPTBot|ClaudeBot|PerplexityBot|Claude-User|Claude-Web|Google-Extended|bingpreview|OpenAI)") {
 return (pass);
}
</code></pre>
For Cloudflare (non-APO), create a Cache Rule: 
– When: <code>User Agent contains "ChatGPT" or "GPTBot" or "ClaudeBot" or "PerplexityBot"</code> 
– Then: Bypass cache 
The plugin sends <code>X-Salespeak-AI-Bot: 1</code> header for AI bot requests to help with debugging.
<h3>Safety & Performance</h3>
This plugin is designed to have ZERO impact on normal visitors: 
* All cache bypass logic only executes when the User-Agent matches a known AI bot pattern 
* For non-AI requests, all filter callbacks immediately return the original value (pass-through) 
* No headers, cookies, or constants are set for normal visitor requests 
* AI bot detection is cached per-request to avoid repeated regex checks 
* The plugin only modifies behavior for an explicit list of known AI bot User-Agent strings: 
 * ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, Claude-User, Claude-Web, ClaudeBot 
 * PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, bingpreview, OpenAI 
 * Applebot-Extended, CCBot, anthropic-ai, cohere-ai
