Description
Your WordPress site, continuously optimized for AI search.
Search has changed. When someone asks an AI assistant “what’s the best [X]?” or “how do I [Y]?”, the answer comes from sites the AI chooses to trust. Structured data, authority signals, and answer-ready content are no longer optional — they’re the new foundation.
Amplest Autopilot builds that foundation, and keeps building it.
This plugin is the on-site engine of Amplest — an AI search optimization platform. Install it and your WordPress site connects to Amplest’s cloud intelligence: continuous LLM citation monitoring, AI-powered diagnosis, and automated fixes pushed directly to your site. The plugin handles the on-site layer; Amplest handles the strategy.
What works on your site from day one (free, no account needed)
- Structured Data (JSON-LD) — Automatically generates and injects Organization, WebSite, Article, FAQPage, and BreadcrumbList schemas into
<head>. No configuration required. - Auto FAQ Detection — Scans post content for question-pattern headings (English and Japanese) and converts them into FAQPage schema automatically.
- AEO Metabox — Add an AI summary, target keywords, and custom Q&A in the post editor to guide how AI reads and cites your content.
- llms.txt — Dynamically serves
/llms.txtper the llmstxt.org standard — an always-current map of your key content for AI crawlers. - AI Score Widget — See your AI visibility score directly in the WordPress dashboard.
What the Amplest Cloud Service adds (optional SaaS integration)
Connect a paid plan at amplest.cloud to unlock the cloud platform layer:
- LLM Citation Monitoring — Your site is tested across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Claude to track whether and how they cite you.
- AI-Powered Diagnosis — Amplest scans your site, identifies what’s limiting your AI visibility, and generates a prioritized improvement list.
- Automated Fix Application — Approved improvements are pushed to your site through the plugin’s REST API — structured data, meta tags, and AEO fields updated without touching your theme or post content.
- Snapshot & Rollback — Every applied fix is snapshotted before it runs. Roll back any change at any time from the Amplest dashboard.
- Monthly / Weekly Reports — Track your AI visibility score over time with detailed diagnosis and improvement history.

- Service: Amplest (https://amplest.cloud)
- Terms of Service: https://amplest.cloud/legal/terms
- Privacy Policy: https://amplest.cloud/legal/privacy
Plugin Amplest (outbound calls)
- License activation / deactivation — When you click “Activate License” or “Deactivate License”, your license key and site domain are sent to
https://amplest.cloud/api/wp-plugin/activateor.../deactivate. Data sent: license key, site domain. - Daily license verification — Once per day via WP-Cron, the plugin sends your license key and site domain to
https://amplest.cloud/api/wp-plugin/verifyto confirm subscription status. Data sent: license key, site domain. - AI Score retrieval — When you click “Refresh Score”, your site domain is sent to
https://amplest.cloud/api/wp-plugin/scoreto fetch your current AI visibility score. Data sent: license key, site domain. - Scan request — When you click “Request Scan” (Operator / Autopilot plans only), your site domain is sent to
https://amplest.cloud/api/wp-plugin/scanto trigger an LLM citation scan. Data sent: license key, site domain.
Amplest Plugin (inbound webhook)
- Automated fix delivery — When you approve an improvement in the Amplest dashboard, the Amplest service calls this plugin’s REST endpoint (
/wp-json/amplest/v1/apply-fix) and passes the generated content (structured data, meta tags, or FAQ items). The plugin writes that content to WordPress post meta locally. No data from your site is transmitted outbound via this endpoint. - Rollback — Similarly, the Amplest service may call
/wp-json/amplest/v1/rollbackto restore a previously saved snapshot. All operations are local (post meta read/write only).
These inbound endpoints use WordPress Application Passwords (a WordPress core feature, WP 5.6+) for authentication. No custom auth protocol is required.
No personal user data is collected or transmitted. Only your site domain and license key are used for outbound calls.

FAQ
-
Where do I get a license key?
-
Create an account at amplest.cloud, choose a plan, and your license key will be issued immediately.
-
What can I use on the Free plan?
-
The Free plan automatically injects all structured data types (Organization, WebSite, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList), enables the AEO metabox in the post editor, generates
/llms.txtfor AI crawlers, and shows the AI Score widget in your dashboard — no license key required. All on-site features are fully functional without an account. -
Can I use this alongside Yoast SEO or All in One SEO?
-
Yes. Amplest Autopilot focuses on AI-optimized structured data and does not conflict with standard SEO plugins. Note that duplicate schema output may occur if both plugins generate the same schema type — you can disable individual schema types as needed.
-
How does Auto FAQ Detection work?
-
Amplest Autopilot scans your post content for H2/H3 headings that look like questions — headings ending with
?, or starting with words like “What”, “How”, “Why”, “Can”, etc. (English) or containing patterns like「とは」「方法」（Japanese). Matching heading + paragraph pairs are automatically converted into FAQPage structured data. -
What is the AI Score?
-
The AI Score reflects how well your site is positioned to be cited by the 5 major LLMs. Amplest scans your site across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Claude and returns a score from 0–100. Higher scores mean better AI visibility.
-
What is llms.txt?
-
llms.txt is an emerging standard (llmstxt.org) that helps AI crawlers quickly understand a website’s structure and key content — similar to
robots.txtbut designed for large language models. Amplest Autopilot generates this file dynamically, so it always reflects your latest pages and articles. -
Can I roll back an automatic fix?
-
Yes. Before every automatic fix is applied, the plugin creates a snapshot of the existing data and saves a WordPress post revision. You can roll back any applied fix at any time from the Amplest dashboard.

Changelog
1.3.1
- Security: Improved REST API endpoint permissions — /apply-fix and /rollback now require edit_others_posts capability (Editor or Administrator) instead of edit_posts, and additionally verify the authenticated user can edit the specific target post (current_user_can(‘edit_post’, $post_id)).
- Fixed: Refresh Score no longer sends an HTTP request to Amplest when no license key is configured — returns an informational error message instead.
- Fixed: Dashboard widget footer link now uses a direct UTF-8 arrow character instead of an HTML entity inside esc_html_e(), correcting display on English-locale sites.
- Fixed: Custom JSON-LD injected via the apply-fix REST endpoint is now output via wp_json_encode(json_decode()) instead of wp_kses(), ensuring valid and safe JSON output in all cases.
1.3.0
- Fixed: /apply-fix and /rollback REST endpoints now use WordPress Application Passwords for authentication instead of requiring an active paid license.
- Fixed: Settings page upgrade CTA now references cloud-only features (LLM monitoring, AI diagnosis, automated fix delivery) — no longer implies that local features require a paid plan.
- Fixed: Removed “Planner plan or higher required” notices from the Auto FAQ Detection and AEO Metabox settings. Both features are fully functional on all plans including Free.
- Added: “Amplest Cloud Connection” section in settings explaining how to set up WordPress Application Passwords for the Amplest service.
