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.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
LLMs.txt Generator — Automatically generate a <code>/llms.txt</code> file from your WooCommerce products. This structured text file helps AI language models understand your catalog, improving your chances of being recommended.
</li>
<li>
AI Mention Tracking — Monitor whether your store and products are being mentioned in AI search responses across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
</li>
<li>
Keyword Monitoring — Track specific keywords (brand names, product names, categories) to see how your store appears in AI-generated responses.
</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>
<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.

Smalker001

See the AI agents and AI Search visitors your site actually receives — and never lose an event again.
The web is shifting from search results to answer engines. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and dozens of other AI crawlers visit your pages every day, and a growing share of your human traffic now arrives from an AI assistant rather than a classic SERP. Most analytics tools were built for the old web and miss all of it.
Smalk AI Analytics adds an AI-aware tracking layer to your WordPress site: every public-page visit (AI agent OR human-from-AI-search) is captured, classified, and pushed to your Smalk dashboard where you can see which engines cite you, which pages they prefer, and how that AI exposure converts into real human traffic.
Unlike crawler-blocking plugins, Smalk does not block AI bots. It helps you measure, optimize, and turn AI exposure into growth.
<h3>KEY FEATURES</h3>
Tracking
<ul>
<li>Real-time capture of AI agent visits (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GeminiBot, GoogleOther, OAI-SearchBot, Mistral, AppleBot-Extended, and 30+ others) plus human visitors arriving from AI search engines.</li>
<li>Two tracking layers: a lightweight hook captures bot traffic (which never executes JavaScript) AND a <code>tracker.js</code> snippet captures human session context. Both feed the same Smalk dashboard.</li>
<li>Rich proxy header capture (Cloudflare, geo, X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, X-Smalk-CMS) so bot classification stays accurate even behind CDNs.</li>
</ul>
Reliability (new in 1.1.0)
<ul>
<li>Local MySQL queue buffers visits when the Smalk API is briefly unreachable — no more lost events during transient outages.</li>
<li>Background cron flushes the queue every minute via a batched endpoint (up to 500 visits per request).</li>
<li>Built-in circuit breaker pauses outbound calls after repeated failures and resumes automatically.</li>
<li>Per-row exponential-backoff retry + daily cleanup of stale entries.</li>
<li>“Direct” fallback mode for sites that prefer the old fire-and-forget behavior (no queue table).</li>
</ul>
Privacy & compliance
<ul>
<li>Per-site redact list for query parameters (passwords, tokens, credit-card and SSN-style keys are redacted by default before any value leaves your server).</li>
<li>Deny-paths textarea with wildcards on top of a strict built-in exclusion list (<code>/wp-admin</code>, <code>/wp-login</code>, <code>/wp-json</code>, <code>/xmlrpc.php</code>, REST API calls, favicon, etc.).</li>
<li>Per-request-type skip toggles (admin / cron / AJAX / REST) — admin / cron / AJAX skipped by default.</li>
<li>No cookies are set on visitors.</li>
</ul>
Admin experience
<ul>
<li>Modern card-based settings page with a 4-tile Status & Diagnostics panel: queue size, last successful send, circuit-breaker state, last error — refreshed live on every action.</li>
<li>One-click Send test event (probes the Smalk API with a <code>X-Smalk-Probe: 1</code> header so the test never appears in your real analytics), Force-flush queue now, Resume sending (reset circuit breaker), and Clear page caches (purges WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, WP Super Cache, Hummingbird, FlyingPress, SG Optimizer, WP Fastest Cache, Cache Enabler, WP Engine, plus the WordPress object cache and PHP OPcache).</li>
<li>Auto-save when you paste a new API key — no scrolling to “Save changes”.</li>
<li>Debug report generator: collects plugin version, queue + sender stats, cron schedules, detected cache plugins, live connectivity probes, and active plugins into a single text blob you can email to support — never dumps raw <code>error_log</code> (no risk of leaking unrelated secrets).</li>
</ul>
Performance
<ul>
<li><code><link rel="preconnect"></code> + <code><link rel="dns-prefetch"></code> for the tracker origin before the async script tag — saves ~50–150 ms TLS+DNS handshake on cold connections (mostly mobile / first-time visitors).</li>
<li>Tracker JS auto-excluded from 10+ caching/minify plugins (WP Rocket, Autoptimize, W3TC, LiteSpeed, SG Optimizer, Hummingbird, FlyingPress, Asset CleanUp, …) so caching never strips it.</li>
<li>Zero impact on TTFB: every flavor of outbound call is either non-blocking (direct mode) or deferred to cron (queued mode, the default).</li>
</ul>
<h3>WHY CHOOSE SMALK AI</h3>
<ul>
<li>See AI traffic accurately. Most analytics drop AI agents entirely (they don’t run JS); Smalk catches them and classifies them in real time.</li>
<li>Never lose an event. The queued mode keeps tracking your site even when our API is briefly unreachable.</li>
<li>Privacy-first defaults. Sensitive query parameters are redacted, admin / cron / AJAX requests are skipped, no cookies on visitors.</li>
<li>No bot blocking. Smalk helps you grow your AI footprint, not shrink it.</li>
<li>Plays nicely with every host and cache. Tested on WP 5.0 / PHP 7.0 through WP 6.9 / PHP 8.3. Auto-detects and works around the major caching / minify plugins.</li>
</ul>
