Description
CitePulse tracks how AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude reference your brand. This plugin connects your WordPress site to CitePulse so you can:
- Sync your content inventory – Automatically send your published posts and pages to CitePulse for analysis.
- Receive AI-optimized drafts – CitePulse’s Content Lab delivers optimized content directly into your WordPress editor as safe drafts.
- Track optimization status – See which pages have pending recommendations and which have been updated.
- Stay draft-safe – The plugin never publishes content automatically. All changes arrive as drafts for your review.
How It Works
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Get a connection code from your CitePulse dashboard at citepulse.io.
- Paste the code in the plugin settings page to connect.
- Your content inventory syncs automatically.
- When CitePulse generates optimized content, it appears as a draft in your WordPress editor.
What Is CitePulse?
CitePulse is the first platform purpose-built for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). It monitors your brand’s visibility across AI search engines and provides actionable recommendations to improve how AI models reference your content.

Third-Party Service
This plugin connects to the CitePulse API (api.citepulse.io) to:
- Exchange connection codes for site tokens
- Send heartbeat and health checks
- Sync your content inventory (post titles, URLs, excerpts, and checksums)

- Report job completion status
No data is sent until you explicitly connect the plugin using a connection code from your CitePulse account.

FAQ
-
Do I need a CitePulse account?
-
Yes. You need an active CitePulse account to get a connection code. Sign up at citepulse.io.
-
Will this plugin publish content automatically?
-
No. All content from CitePulse is created as WordPress drafts. You must review and publish manually.
-
What data is sent to CitePulse?
-
The plugin sends your published post and page titles, URLs, excerpts, modification dates, and content checksums. It does not send full post content, passwords, or user data.
-
Can I disconnect at any time?
-
Yes. Use the Disconnect button on the CitePulse settings page. All stored credentials are removed immediately.
-
Does this affect my site’s performance?
-
No. The plugin uses WordPress cron for background tasks (heartbeat every 6 hours, inventory sync daily, job polling every 5 minutes). These run asynchronously and do not affect page load times.
