## 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](https://amplest.cloud) — 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.txt` per 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](https://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.

#### Plans

**Free** — No account needed. Structured data injection, AEO metabox, llms.txt, 
and AI Score widget activate immediately after installing the plugin.

**Planner ($35/mo)** — Monthly LLM scan, improvement suggestions, and email reports.
Connects your site to the Amplest diagnosis engine.

**Operator ($110/mo)** — Monthly automatic scan, up to 3 manual scan requests per
month, full issue list, and human-approved automatic fix application. For site owners
who want control with less manual work.

**Autopilot ($220/mo)** — Fully automated optimization with no approval required.
Built for agencies and businesses running multiple sites.

### External Services

This plugin functions as a fully standalone tool for local schema generation, llms.
txt, and the AEO metabox — no external service is required for these features.

Optionally, the plugin integrates with the **Amplest cloud platform** to provide
AI-powered diagnostics, improvement suggestions, and automated fix delivery. When
this integration is active, the plugin communicates with Amplest as described below.

 * 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/activate` or `.../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/verify` to
   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/score` to 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/scan`
   to 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/rollback`
   to 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](https://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.txt` for 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.txt` but 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.
 * Updated: External Services section in readme now separately documents outbound(
   plugin  Amplest) and inbound (Amplest  plugin webhook) communication, with specific
   API endpoint URLs and data sent.

#### 1.2.0

 * Changed: JSON-LD structured data (Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, AEO summary)
   now available for all plans including Free
 * Changed: AEO metabox (AI summary, keywords, FAQ) now fully accessible for all
   plans including Free
 * Fixed: Removed `JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES` from JSON-LD output to prevent potential
   XSS via `</script>` in content strings
 * Removed: `load_plugin_textdomain()` call — WordPress auto-loads translations 
   for plugins hosted on WordPress.org

#### 1.1.0

 * Added: llms.txt auto-generation — dynamically serves `/llms.txt` for AI crawlers(
   top 30 pages + 30 articles, with total count shown for larger sites)
 * Added: Snapshot and rollback system — every automatic fix creates a WordPress
   revision and a meta snapshot; roll back any change from the Amplest dashboard
 * Added: Custom JSON-LD and meta tags injected via the Amplest REST API are now
   correctly output in `<head>`
 * Fixed: License authentication in the REST API (`apply-fix` endpoint was always
   returning 401 due to incorrect option key and field name)
 * Fixed: `plan_tier` values from the Amplest API are now validated against a whitelist
   to prevent unexpected tier escalation
 * Fixed: All hardcoded Japanese strings in `admin.js` replaced with localized `
   amplestAdmin.*` values
 * Internationalization: all UI strings converted to English; Japanese .po/.mo files
   included
 * Updated plan names to Free / Planner / Operator / Autopilot (aligned with amplest.
   cloud pricing)

 * Auto JSON-LD injection (Organization, WebSite, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList)
