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.

Is ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini crawling your website? This plugin automatically tracks every AI bot visit to give you the data you need! 🤖
LLM Bot Tracker is the most comprehensive AI crawler analytics plugin for WordPress, providing automatic 24/7 monitoring of artificial intelligence bots, search crawlers, and web scrapers accessing your content.
<h4>🎯 How It Works</h4>
Install → Activate → Done!
That’s it. The plugin immediately starts tracking all AI bot activity in the background. No configuration needed. View your data anytime in the admin dashboard at Tools > LLM Crawler Logs.
<h4>🚀 Why Track AI Bots & Crawlers?</h4>
The web is changing. AI-powered search engines like Perplexity, You.com, and SearchGPT are revolutionizing how people find information. Traditional SEO isn’t enough anymore – you need LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization).

Without this data, you’re flying blind in the AI era of search.
