## Description

**Find out how clearly your WordPress site presents important machine-readable signals,
and what to review first.**

IF Media AOE is a local AI Readiness scanner for WordPress. It checks your published
content across five categories (Access, Identity, Structure, Evidence, and Structured
Data) and turns the results into an overall 0–100 score, category scores, and findings
with recommended next steps.

Scans run on your own WordPress server. No account is required, and your site content
is not sent to IF Media or an AI provider.

#### What is AI Readiness?

AI Readiness is how clearly and consistently your site presents signals that IF 
Media AOE can evaluate locally across Access, Identity, Structure, Evidence, and
Structured Data. The five categories are explained below.

IF Media AOE is a readiness assessment. It does not measure or guarantee AI rankings,
citations, recommendations, visibility, or inclusion in AI-generated answers.

#### What IF Media AOE checks

 * **Access** – Whether WordPress allows search-engine indexing, and whether scanned
   content is public and not password-protected.
 * **Identity** – Your site name and tagline, authorship where applicable, and the
   organization or person profile you confirm in the plugin.
 * **Structure** – Whether content has a title, readable body text, and a sensible
   heading outline.
 * **Evidence** – Publication and modified dates and, where applicable, outbound
   references in your content.
 * **Structured Data** – JSON-LD the plugin can observe in stored content, including
   whether it parses. When a comparable entity is observed, identity details can
   be compared with your confirmed profile.

IF Media AOE is not a Google Rich Results test or a full schema.org validator.

#### What you get after a scan

 * An overall **0–100 AI Readiness Score**
 * Per-category scores and category coverage (a category shows **Not Scored** when
   it has no applicable checks). A scan can also be complete or partial if some 
   items could not be evaluated.
 * **Findings** that explain what was observed and recommend what to review next
 * **Scan history** so you can open previous completed scans and review their scores
   and findings

#### Manual site and page scans

Run a site scan or a page scan whenever you choose, make changes, and scan again.
Scans cover published posts and pages, WooCommerce products when WooCommerce is 
active, and supported public custom post types, based on your settings.

#### Basic Safe Fix: search visibility

If WordPress is set to discourage search engines from indexing your site, IF Media
AOE can offer to turn that setting off. Nothing changes until you review and confirm.
The change is verified afterward, recorded in the Fix Log, and can be undone while
the setting still matches what the plugin applied.

This removes WordPress’s request to discourage indexing. It does not guarantee that
search engines will crawl, index, or rank your site.

#### Readiness Monitoring

Use the manual **Check now** workflow to record selected Access, Identity, and Structured
Data signals and see whether they change between checks. Monitoring does not affect
your score, and it is not a security, malware, vulnerability, or firewall scanner.
Automatic monitoring is offered separately in IF Media AOE Pro.

#### Identity and Structured Data workspaces

Confirm the organization or person your site represents, and inspect the structured
data the plugin can observe locally. Your confirmed profile is used for Identity
checks that depend on it, and for Structured Data identity-consistency checks when
a comparable entity is observed.

#### Block editor guidance

While editing supported content, the editor panel can preview supported AI Readiness
checks for the post you’re working on, without running a full site scan.

#### Privacy: local by design

Scanning and Readiness Monitoring run on your WordPress server. Your site content
is not sent to IF Media or an AI provider for scoring. No IF Media account is required
to scan, and no telemetry or analytics are sent to IF Media by default.

The Free plugin contacts IF Media only in these user-initiated cases:

 1. **Optional deactivation feedback.** If you choose Submit on the deactivation form,
    the selected reason, an optional comment, the plugin version, and the plugin edition
    are sent to https://app.ifmedia.ca. It never includes your hostname, installation
    ID, licence key, or page content. Choosing Skip sends nothing.
 2. **Upgrade to Pro.** If you click an Upgrade link, your browser opens IF Media checkout
    at https://app.ifmedia.ca. Nothing is requested before you click.

The Free plugin does not contact an IF Media licensing API. WordPress core, your
host, and other plugins may make their own network requests independently of IF 
Media AOE.

Service provider: IF Media Inc. (https://ifmedia.ca)

#### Free and Pro

IF Media AOE Free is designed to provide a useful AI Readiness assessment without
a paid licence. It includes manual scanning, scoring, findings and recommendations,
the Basic Safe Fix, manual Readiness Monitoring, scan history, the Identity and 
Structured Data workspaces, block editor guidance, setup, settings, and built-in
documentation.

IF Media AOE Pro is a separate plugin, not distributed on WordPress.org. It is offered
separately with scheduled scans, automatic monitoring, issue-first diagnostics, 
trends, and professional AI Readiness reporting. A licence key cannot unlock those
capabilities inside this Free plugin.

#### Source

The editor JavaScript source is included in `assets/editor/src`. Production files
in `assets/editor/build` are generated from that source.

## FAQ

### What is AI Readiness?

In IF Media AOE, AI Readiness refers to website signals the plugin can evaluate 
locally across Access, Identity, Structure, Evidence, and Structured Data. It is
not an AI ranking or visibility score.

### Will IF Media AOE get my site into ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, or other AI answers?

No, and it doesn’t measure whether that happens. IF Media AOE does not measure or
guarantee AI rankings, citations, recommendations, visibility, or inclusion in AI-
generated answers. It helps you find and improve the site signals it evaluates. 
Whether a search engine or AI system crawls, uses, or shows your site is decided
by those systems.

### Does IF Media AOE send my content to an AI provider?

No. Analysis runs on your WordPress server. Your content is not sent to an AI provider
or to IF Media for scoring, and no IF Media account is needed to scan.

### What external services does the Free plugin contact?

None for scanning. It contacts IF Media only if you submit optional deactivation
feedback, and clicking an Upgrade link opens IF Media checkout in your browser. 
The Free plugin does not call the IF Media licensing API.

### Will IF Media AOE change my site automatically?

No. The included Basic Safe Fix is applied only after you explicitly confirm it.
It is verified, recorded in the Fix Log, and can be undone while the setting still
matches what the plugin applied.

### What does the search visibility Safe Fix do?

It turns off WordPress’s “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” setting.
That removes the request to discourage indexing; it does not guarantee that search
engines will crawl, index, or rank your site.

### Is Readiness Monitoring a security scanner?

No. It records selected Access, Identity, and Structured Data signals and can identify
changes between checks. It is not a malware scanner, vulnerability scanner, firewall,
or security certification.

### Does IF Media AOE validate schema markup?

It analyzes the JSON-LD it can observe in stored content, including whether it parses
and how identity details line up with your confirmed profile. It does not replace
a full schema.org validator or Google’s Rich Results Test.

### What is included in Free versus Pro?

Free includes manual scanning, scoring, findings, the Basic Safe Fix, manual monitoring,
scan history, and the Identity and Structured Data workspaces. Pro is a separate
plugin, offered separately with scheduled scans, automatic monitoring, issue-first
diagnostics, trends, and professional reporting. A licence key cannot enable Pro
functionality inside this Free plugin.

### What does AOE stand for?

AOE is the product name. The plugin does not define AOE as an abbreviation for another
term.
