sourcewatchai

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

<h4>🔍 Get Found by AI Search Engines</h4>
Your site gets an llms.txt file — a new standard that tells AI crawlers what your site is about, what content you publish, and what products you sell. Think of it as robots.txt, but for AI.
<h4>📊 Speak AI’s Language with Schema.org</h4>
Automatically generates structured data (JSON-LD) that AI agents actually understand — your organization info, articles, products, and more. Better structured data = better AI recommendations.
<h4>📄 Serve Clean Content to AI Agents</h4>
When ChatGPT or Perplexity visit your page, citelayer® serves an optimized Markdown version instead of messy HTML. This uses 80% fewer tokens and gives AI a crystal-clear picture of your content.
<h4>🛡️ Stay in Control of Your Content</h4>
Configure how AI systems may use your content — allow or deny training, search indexing, and RAG/context usage. Your content, your rules.
<h4>🛒 Works with WooCommerce</h4>
If you run a shop, citelayer® makes your products visible to AI:
<ul>
<li>Product data automatically included in llms.txt</li>
<li>Product Schema.org markup generated</li>
<li>Product pages served as structured Markdown tables</li>
<li>AI agents can discover your shop via UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol)</li>
</ul>
<h4>📈 Why AI Visibility Matters Now</h4>
<ul>
<li>58% of online searches will involve AI by the end of 2026</li>
<li>Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) are the next evolution of SEO</li>
<li>Sites without AI-readable content are invisible to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and AI Overviews</li>
