## Description

CitePin helps your business get cited by AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Google
AI) and win local search. From your WordPress dashboard you can:

 * **Generate full articles** — turn a topic/keyword into a complete, AEO-optimized
   article saved as a draft.
 * **Run a Local / Google Business Profile audit** — get a local score, profile 
   breakdown, and prioritized fixes.
 * **Build local citations** — get a NAP kit, the exact directories to submit to,
   and ready-to-paste listing descriptions.
 * **Import drafts from CitePin** — pull any article you generated in CitePin in
   as a WordPress draft. Works even on sites that block incoming REST connections,
   because the plugin reaches out to CitePin and saves the draft locally.

Generated content is created as a standard WordPress draft, so it inherits your 
theme’s styling automatically.

A free CitePin account is required (a Pro plan is required for content generation
and audits). Get an API key at https://app.citepin.com  Account  API key.

### External services

This plugin connects to the CitePin API (https://app.citepin.com) to generate content
and run audits. This is required for the plugin to function.

 * **What is sent, and when:** When you click “Generate” the plugin sends the topic/
   keyword, content type, audience, and your site URL. When you click “Run audit”
   it sends the business name, city, category, and your site URL. Requests are sent
   only when you take those actions, and are authenticated with the API key you 
   enter in Settings.
 * **Service provider:** CitePin (Need A Name Media).
 * Terms of Service: https://citepin.com/terms
 * Privacy Policy: https://citepin.com/privacy

 3. Go to CitePin  Settings and paste your CitePin API key (from https://app.citepin.

## FAQ
