AI agents and AI crawlers are increasingly the ones visiting your site — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and their bots (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, anthropic-ai, GoogleBot-Extended) research, recommend, and act on behalf of users. Traditional SEO doesn’t cover this. OARS is AI readiness (sometimes called AI SEO, Generative Engine Optimization / GEO, or Answer Engine Optimization / AEO): it publishes the machine-readable signals AI systems need to find, read, and correctly represent you.
The Open Agent Readiness Standard (OARS) by <a href="https://knov.ai" rel="nofollow ugc">Knov.ai</a> defines what makes a site machine-operable. This plugin handles the low-hanging fruit automatically and scores the rest.
<h4>Free</h4>
<ul>
<li>oars.json — a machine-readable knowledge declaration served at your domain root, auto-populated from your site title, tagline, categories, and pages.</li>
<li>llms.txt — a clean Markdown summary for LLMs (guaranteed to meet the 200-word minimum).</li>
<li>AI bot directives — adds rules for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, anthropic-ai and GoogleBot-Extended to robots.txt.</li>
<li>Schema.org identity — injects Organization JSON-LD on your homepage.</li>
<li>Content-Signal headers — declares your AI usage preferences (search / input / training).</li>
<li>Live readiness score — the scorecard self-fetches your real URLs and headers, so it reflects what agents actually see; every gap is flagged with a fix and a proof link.</li>
<li>Level 0 baseline — security headers, optional report-only CSP, Link headers, and CORS on your agent files.</li>
<li>/llms-full.txt, /.well-known/oars.json, sitemap fallback and a guided first-run setup wizard.</li>
<li>Bring-your-own LLM (optional) — connect OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google to enrich your identity fields and llms.txt narrative.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro (separate add-on)</h4>
OARS Pro is a separate plugin you install alongside this one (available from tylerewillis.com). It adds:
<ul>
<li>Agent API (Level 3) — read-only REST endpoints, OpenAPI 3.1 contract, and an A2A agent card.</li>
<li>Web Bot Auth signing-key directory and Agent Skills discovery (.well-known).</li>
<li>Level 4a machine-readable product catalog from WooCommerce.</li>
<li>Full Level 1–2 scoring with per-check remediation.</li>
<li>Weekly monitoring with an email alert if your score drops.</li>
<li>Advanced Schema.org — Service, Product, and FAQPage auto-generated from your pages and WooCommerce catalog.</li>
<li>Markdown content negotiation (<code>Accept: text/markdown</code>) for agents.</li>
<li>Scheduled regeneration as your content changes.</li>
<li>WP Multisite / network management.</li>
<li>One-click submission to the Knov.ai directory + verification ID.</li>
<li>OARS compliance badge shortcode.</li>
</ul>
Pro is licensed per site or per agency. Learn more at <a href="https://tylerewillis.com/tools/oars-for-wordpress" rel="nofollow ugc">tylerewillis.com/tools/oars-for-wordpress</a>.
<h3>External services</h3>
The OARS Agent Readiness plugin works fully without contacting any third party. Some optional features connect to external services only when you enable them:
<ul>
<li>AI enrichment (optional). If you add an API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, the plugin sends the text content you ask it to process (e.g. your page titles and excerpts) to that provider to generate llms.txt narrative, identity suggestions, or FAQ content. Data is sent only when you click a generate button. Review each provider’s terms and privacy policy: OpenAI (https://openai.com/policies/), Anthropic (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy), Google (https://policies.google.com/privacy).</li>
<li>Readiness self-check. The dashboard score fetches your own site’s public URLs (e.g. /llms.txt, /oars.json, your homepage) to verify what agents actually receive. These requests go to your own domain, not a third party.</li>
</ul>
(The optional OARS Pro add-on validates a license key with tylerewillis.com; that disclosure ships with the Pro plugin, not this free plugin.)
The “Scan headers”, “PageSpeed”, and “Validate schema” buttons simply open external tools in a new browser tab; OARS does not send your data to them from the server.

OARS Agent Readiness

AI readiness & AI SEO: add llms.txt, AI bot directives, Schema.org and oars.json so AI agents and crawlers can find, read and understand your site.

EZY.ai

EZY.ai is the first all-in-one AEO plugin for WordPress. Get found on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity & Gemini – then turn that visibility into customers with AI-written blogs and a lead-capturing chatbot. Free to install with live AI-visit analytics; upgrade for one-click optimization, AI content and unlimited chat at $29/month.
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.
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.
<h4>Core Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>AI Analytics – every AI crawler visit AND every AI-referred human visitor, across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini & Copilot – plus weekly prompt tracking, competitor citations, and your AI Visibility Score</li>
<li>1-Click Fix All – the only AEO platform that cycles through everything: generates, optimizes and uploads your schema, meta, llms.txt, facts and sitemap in a single click</li>
<li>Content Engine – original, expert-cited blogs & FAQs in your brand’s tone of voice, written and published for you</li>
<li>EZY Capture – an AI assistant on your site, capturing leads 24/7</li>
<li>Alerts & Best Practices – citation changes, competitor moves and AI-visit spikes emailed to you, with guidance on what to do next</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free vs Paid</h4>
<ul>
<li>Free forever: AI-visit analytics, robots.txt, llms.txt, and EZY Capture for your first 10 conversations.</li>
<li>$29/month: 1-Click Fix All (schema, meta, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, facts, sitemap, FAQs), the AI content engine, competitor & prompt tracking, email alerts, and unlimited chat.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What EZY.ai Builds and Maintains on Your Site</h4>
1. AI Readiness & Technical Files
<ul>
<li>llms.txt and llms-full.txt – machine-readable summaries AI engines use to understand your business</li>
<li>robots.txt with explicit AI crawler permissions – without it, some AI engines skip your site by default</li>
<li>AI sitemap.xml – purpose-built for AI crawlers, kept in sync as your site changes</li>
<li>facts.jsonld – 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>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>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>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>AI Visibility Score – proprietary EZY.ai score, tracked over time</li>
<li>Email alerts & best practices – when your citations change, a competitor gains ground, or AI visits spike, EZY emails you – with best-practice guidance on what to do about it</li>
</ul>
4. Content & Authority
<ul>
<li>AI-assisted blogs – auto-generated and published to your WordPress site weekly. Every post is original (checked against your existing content so nothing is duplicated), written in your brand’s tone of voice, cites experts and sources where possible, includes internal links to your key pages, and embeds a lead-capture form – with submissions tracked in your dashboard.</li>
<li>FAQ page generation – automatically generates dedicated FAQ hubs</li>
<li>Authority scanner – see which pages carry high authority for your topics</li>
<li>Submission tools – submit directly to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools</li>
</ul>
<h4>Content Quality That Actually Gets Cited</h4>
Most AEO plugins generate basic URL lists or thin schema. EZY runs deep LLM analysis on your live, rendered site – producing enriched files that score 95%+ when tested by major AI models. When we asked Google’s Gemini to independently assess EZY’s generated output, it scored it 98/100 and called it “an absolute masterclass in GEO.”
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 months tuning our generation to maximise citation eligibility, and the results show in the numbers above.
<h4>EZY vs. Other AEO Plugins</h4>
<ul>
<li>Yoast: generates a basic llms.txt URL list. No AEO analytics, no AI bot tracking.</li>
<li>Rank Math: same – a 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: the full AEO stack – llms.txt + llms-full.txt + facts + schema + meta + AI analytics + competitor tracking + Reddit monitoring.</li>
</ul>
<h4>EZY Capture – Lead Generation, Set Up for You</h4>
The same AEO data EZY already holds about your site powers a fast, accurate, lead-capturing assistant – switched on in one click, with no training and no extra setup. It answers visitor questions in your brand’s voice and captures their details (name, email, and what they asked), so you can follow up. Free for your first 10 conversations.
It gets smarter on its own. Over time it learns what your prospects keep asking – and EZY.ai turns those real questions into FAQs and blog posts that answer them. Those answers lift your AI visibility, which feeds the assistant: a loop that compounds while you do nothing.
Every other chatbot makes you upload content, paste FAQs, train the bot and maintain it. With EZY that’s already done – the assistant is a by-product of your AEO work, so switching it on costs you nothing extra.
<h4>Set It and Forget It</h4>
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.
<h4>Why EZY.ai is Different</h4>
<ul>
<li>Files live on your site, not ours. 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, automatic blog posting, and unlimited chat.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<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>
