DeveloperOptimize WordPress content for AI search. AI crawler tracking, llms.txt generation, and a transparent 100-point Cite Score.
AI Search Optimizer helps your WordPress content get cited by AI search engines.
Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking in search results. AI Search Optimizer focuses on a different goal: getting your content referenced inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other AI engines.
What’s included
Cite Score — a transparent 100-point score showing how likely your content is to be cited by AI engines. Calculated across 17 signals in three categories: Structure, Citability, and Authority. The full scoring rubric is published — no black box.
AI Crawler Tracking — see which AI bots visit your site, when, and what they request. Filter by bot, export to CSV, and identify which content AI is paying attention to.
llms.txt Generation — automatically generate llms.txt and llms-full.txt files using your most important content. Integrates with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, and AIOSEO to respect your existing settings.
Gutenberg Sidebar — see your Cite Score and signal-by-signal breakdown directly in the WordPress editor while you write. No context switching.
Post List Column — sortable Cite Score column in All Posts and All Pages. Spot weak content at a glance.
Dashboard Widget — average Cite Score across your site, top crawled pages, AI bot trends.
Why this matters
AI engines now influence a meaningful share of search behavior. Your content can rank well on Google and still be invisible to AI assistants. AI Search Optimizer measures and improves your content’s likelihood of being cited.
About the Cite Score
The Cite Score is the heart of this plugin. Unlike competitors with proprietary “AI scoring” formulas, our rubric is fully public. The 17 signals are documented at https://citewp.com/cite-score, with research citations for every weight.
