<p><strong>AI SEO and AI visibility analytics for WordPress.</strong> See your AI search visibility — which AI tools crawl, cite, and send visitors to your site — and whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude actually surface your content. It is the AI-era answer to “how do I show up in AI search?”</p>
<p>This plugin sends two things to your SourceWatch dashboard:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI bot crawls</strong> — when ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude and others fetch your pages.</li>
<li><strong>AI referrals</strong> — when a real person clicks through to your site from an AI tool.</li>
</ul>
<p>It uses two complementary beacons so it works even when your site is cached:</p>
<ul>
<li>An <strong>in-page script</strong> (your Public Key) captures human visitors from AI tools right in<br />
the browser — so it keeps working even when pages are served from a cache/CDN (where<br />
server-side code never runs).</li>
<li>A <strong>server-side beacon</strong> (your Site Key) captures AI bot crawls, which can’t be seen in<br />
the browser because bots don’t run JavaScript.</li>
</ul>
<p>Neither adds page-load delay, and if SourceWatch is ever unreachable your site loads exactly<br />
as before. The destination endpoint is fixed inside the plugin, so it can never be<br />
repointed to send your data elsewhere.</p>
<h3>External service</h3>
<p>This plugin connects your site to <strong>SourceWatch</strong> (https://sourcewatch.ai), a third-party<br />
service that turns the data below into your AI-visibility analytics dashboard. The plugin<br />
does nothing until you install it and add your keys, and you can pause it at any time.</p>
<p>What is sent, and when:</p>
<ul>
<li>On front-end page views: the page URL, the referring URL, the visitor’s IP address and<br />
user agent, and the HTTP status — sent to https://sourcewatch.ai/api/track/ai.</li>
<li>From <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> SourceWatch</strong> when you click “Check capture”: your keys and this site’s<br />
domain — sent to https://sourcewatch.ai/api/track/ai/status to confirm setup.</li>
</ul>
<p>Your use of the SourceWatch service is governed by its policies:</p>

<p>When people ask AI tools about your company, your website needs clear, machine-readable facts they can retrieve and cite.</p>
<p>AgentReadyScan helps WordPress site owners publish those facts without editing theme files or writing custom schema markup.</p>
<h4>Why install AgentReadyScan</h4>
<ul>
<li>Improve how AI tools interpret your business name, services, location, and contact details</li>
<li>Publish AI-readable files in minutes from one WordPress settings screen</li>
<li>Add structured data and AI-facing files without touching code</li>
<li>Keep the output server-rendered so crawlers can access it reliably</li>
</ul>
<h4>What the plugin generates</h4>
<ul>
<li>JSON-LD structured data for your business</li>
<li><code>/llms.txt</code> as a machine-readable site summary</li>
<li><code>/agent-facts.html</code> as a source-of-truth page for AI retrieval</li>
<li><code>robots.txt</code> additions for AI crawler access through WordPress hooks</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why server-side output matters</h4>
<p>AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot do not rely on JavaScript rendering the way browsers do. AgentReadyScan publishes files and schema at the PHP and WordPress hook level so they are available directly to crawlers.</p>
<h4>Best for</h4>
<ul>
<li>Local businesses</li>
<li>Agencies managing client sites</li>
<li>Law firms, healthcare practices, restaurants, and home services</li>
<li>SaaS and technology companies</li>
<li>Any WordPress site that wants cleaner AI visibility signals</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Single settings page under <strong>Settings > AgentReadyScan</strong></li>
<li>Business fact editor for company details, services, contact info, and Q&A</li>
<li>Live status panel showing whether each AI-facing file is active</li>
<li>Save and regenerate workflow for publishing updates quickly</li>
<li>Optional Pro API key for hosted verification and sync features</li>
</ul>
<h4>Free and Pro</h4>
<p>The free plugin is fully functional for local publishing.</p>
<p>If you use the optional Pro service, enter a valid Pro API key in the plugin settings. There is no separate public Pro plugin install.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin optionally connects to the AgentReadyScan API (https://www.agentreadyscan.com) when a Pro API key is saved by the site administrator. The connection is used to verify service access and retrieve hosted, server-processed sync payloads used by optional service-backed capabilities (for example, managed rule updates). No visitor personal data is transmitted. The connection only occurs when a Pro API key is present and when the administrator requests verification/sync or when the weekly background recheck runs.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: AgentReadyScan API</li>
<li>URL: https://www.agentreadyscan.com</li>
<li>Data sent: The Pro API key, site host/domain, and plugin version for service verification and sync requests</li>
<li>Data received: Service status metadata and hosted sync payloads (for example, rules schema and related service fields)</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://agentreadyscan.com/privacy</li>
<li>Terms of service: https://agentreadyscan.com/terms</li>
</ul>
<p>No external connection is made for free installs (no API key saved).</p>
