Instead of stopping at a score, the plugin can scan the organization’s public website and turn weak AI-search results into page-specific recommendations, including the exact page to improve, the issue to address, the recommended change, and suggested copy. Current features include: * Organization profile and aliases. * Competitor tracking. * Prompt library with discovery, comparison, and branded prompts. * Manual AI-search evaluations. * Visibility scores and organization mention/ranking detection. * AI response and source storage. * Public website sitemap discovery and page analysis. * Page-specific action plans for prompts with weak visibility. * Suggested website copy grounded in the scanned public website. * Evaluation history. * Administrator-only configuration and actions. MentionForge — AI Search Visibility is currently designed for one organization per WordPress installation. #### AI provider requirements Version 1.0 uses OpenAI as its supported AI provider for evaluations and recommendation generation. These features require your own OpenAI API key. OpenAI API usage is billed separately by OpenAI according to your OpenAI account and usage. Support for additional AI providers is planned for future releases. Website Analysis itself scans the public website configured in the plugin and does not require an AI provider request. ### External Services This plugin connects to the OpenAI API when an administrator explicitly initiates an AI-powered action after configuring an OpenAI API key. Service: OpenAI Service website: https://openai.com/ OpenAI Services Agreement: https://openai.com/policies/services-agreement/ OpenAI Privacy Policy: https://openai. com/policies/privacy-policy/ Data sent during an AI search evaluation: * The search prompt configured by the administrator. * API request configuration needed to generate the response. Data sent while generating recommendations: * The monitored search prompt. * The stored AI evaluation response and visibility information. * Organization information configured by the administrator. * Selected text, page titles, headings, meta descriptions, and URLs from public pages scanned by Website Analysis. The plugin does not automatically send this information merely because it is activated. AI requests occur when an administrator configures the service and initiates the relevant AI-powered action. OpenAI API usage can incur charges on the administrator’s OpenAI account. ### Source code MentionForge ships its PHP, JavaScript, and CSS in human-readable source form. No build step is required to inspect, modify, or run the distributed plugin. ### Privacy MentionForge — AI Search Visibility stores configuration, evaluations, scanned public website text, and generated recommendations in the site’s WordPress database. The plugin adds suggested disclosure text to WordPress’s Privacy Policy Guide. For AI-powered features, information is sent to OpenAI only when an administrator has configured an OpenAI API key and initiates an AI-powered action. Review the External Services section above and OpenAI’s applicable terms before using those features. ### Support For product information, documentation, and support information, visit: https:// davidjsweeney.com/mentionforge/ ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1.

Version 1.0 supports OpenAI for AI search evaluations and recommendations. The site administrator supplies their own OpenAI API key, and OpenAI bills API usage separately. Support for additional AI providers is planned for future releases. ### Does the plugin run AI requests automatically? No. AI requests are initiated by an administrator from the plugin interface. ### What website content is scanned? Website Analysis discovers public URLs from the organization’s sitemap and stores a text snapshot of a limited number of public pages in the WordPress database. ### Does Website Analysis scan other domains? No. Discovered and requested pages are restricted to the configured organization’s hostname, and WordPress safe HTTP request handling is used. ### What is sent to OpenAI? Evaluation prompts are sent when an administrator runs an evaluation. Recommendation generation can additionally send selected content from scanned public website pages together with the relevant evaluation result and configured organization information. See the External Services section for details. ### Are recommendations automatically applied to my website? No. Recommendations are displayed for review. The plugin does not automatically change public website content. ### Can I track more than one organization? The current release is designed around one primary organization per WordPress installation. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MentionForge — AI Search Visibility” is open source software.
