AEOmatic — AI based Answer Engine Optimization

Description

AEOmatic — AI based Answer Engine Optimization is the first WordPress plugin built specifically for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — the practice of making your content visible in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI search engines.

Classic SEO gets you to page 1. AEO gets you cited by the AI that millions of people now use instead of search.

What makes AEOmatic — AI based Answer Engine Optimization different

Every other schema plugin outputs the same generic JSON-LD regardless of your content. AEOmatic — AI based Answer Engine Optimization reads your page and generates accurate, type-specific schema — like Webflow does — then lets you edit every property in a visual editor, without touching code.

Core features

Visual Schema Editor (post editor sidebar)
Open any post in the WordPress editor. AEOmatic — AI based Answer Engine Optimization reads your content and auto-populates every schema property. Edit any field. See the live JSON-LD output instantly. Works on all post types, all page builders.

Intelligent schema type detection
Analyses title, content, URL slug, categories, ACF fields, and page templates to pick the right schema type. Recipe posts get Recipe schema with ingredients, instructions, cook time, and servings. Job posts get JobPosting schema with salary ranges and employment type. Event posts get Event schema with dates and venue. 22 supported schema types.

Type-specific property extraction
Not just Article schema on everything. For each type, extracts the right properties:
– Recipe: ingredients list, step-by-step instructions, cook/prep time, servings, cuisine
– JobPosting: salary range (auto-detected from content), employment type, location, deadline
– Event: start/end dates, venue, organizer, attendance mode, ticket price
– Review: item reviewed, star rating, pros/cons
– Product: price, SKU, availability, ratings (auto-filled from WooCommerce)
– LocalBusiness: address, phone, opening hours, price range
– HowTo: numbered steps, tools, supplies, total time
– FAQPage: Q&A pairs from FAQ blocks or question-style headings

Page builder support
Reads content from all major builders — Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, WPBakery. ACF text, textarea, wysiwyg, and repeater fields are scanned automatically.

WooCommerce integration
Product schema with price, availability, SKU, brand, aggregate ratings, and sale date — all auto-filled from WooCommerce, all editable.

llms.txt generator
Serves a virtual /llms.txt endpoint — an AI-friendly Markdown index of your site. Tells AI crawlers what your site is about, which pages are important, and links to your recent content. Follows the llmstxt.org specification.

AI crawler control
Per-bot Allow/Disallow in your robots.txt for 17 AI crawlers: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended, anthropic-ai, CCBot, Bytespider, Amazonbot, Applebot-Extended, meta-externalagent, DeepSeekBot, Cohere-AI.

AI discovery headers
Automatically emits five HTTP response headers on every public page: X-AI-Crawl, X-AI-Citeable, X-Content-License, X-AI-Content-Type, X-AI-Speakable — plus a Link header pointing to your llms.txt. These are emerging citation signals recognised by AI search engines.

AI crawler visit log
Records every recognised AI bot visit (bot name, URL, timestamp) in a capped log visible in the admin. See at a glance how many times GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot have crawled your site.

VideoObject schema
Auto-detects YouTube and Vimeo embeds in post content and outputs VideoObject JSON-LD with embedUrl, thumbnailUrl, and uploadDate — no configuration needed.

Speakable schema
Outputs WebPage + SpeakableSpecification on every singular page, signalling to voice AI engines (Google Assistant, AI search) which part of the page to read aloud when citing your content.

WebSite schema with SearchAction
Outputs WebSite schema with a SearchAction on your homepage, enabling the Google sitelinks search box in search results.

AEO content audit
Scores every post 0–100 on 10 criteria that predict AI citation likelihood: direct opening answer, question-style headings, FAQ block present, schema enabled, author authority, internal links, structured content (tables/lists), image alt text, page weight, word count.

FAQ Gutenberg block
Native Gutenberg block for Q&A pairs. Renders as accessible <details>/<summary> HTML. Automatically generates FAQPage JSON-LD. No configuration needed.

SEO plugin conflict detection
Detects Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework. Shows a warning if duplicate schema would be emitted. One-click “Fix it for me” disables only the overlapping types in AEOmatic — AI based Answer Engine Optimization — your existing SEO plugin is untouched.

Live verification
Makes HTTP requests to your own site and shows proof of every change: llms.txt live with size and line count, robots.txt with AI bot count, schema blocks found on your latest post with direct Google Rich Results Test link, content coverage report showing which builders were detected.

All public custom post types
Auto-detects every CPT on your site. Applies appropriate schema to WooCommerce products, LearnDash courses, The Events Calendar events, job boards, knowledge bases, and any custom post type from themes or plugins.

Free, forever

All features above are free, no account required, no API keys, no data sent to external servers (except the verification tool which makes requests to your own site). A Pro tier with citation tracking is planned for the future.
