AI answer engines - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude - now answer questions directly and cite sources, and AI bots crawl your content constantly. <strong>Search Signal<\/strong> is a free plugin built for this new reality, alongside all the classic SEO essentials.<\/p>\n\n<h4>See and control AI crawlers<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AI crawler log<\/strong> - which AI bots visited (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider and more), when, and on which pages. Runs entirely on your site.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bot classification<\/strong> - every bot is sorted into <strong>Training<\/strong> (takes content to train models), <strong>AI-Search<\/strong> (can cite you and send traffic) and <strong>Agent<\/strong> (a real person's AI visiting now), so you know who to allow or block.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Access Control<\/strong> - one click writes the right robots.txt rules to allow or block any AI bot, by type.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI referral traffic<\/strong> - see visitors who arrived from an AI answer (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dead-link finder for AI<\/strong> - spot the 404s AI bots hit so you can fix them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Score your content for AI answer engines (AEO \/ GEO)<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AI SEO Score<\/strong> - a site-wide scorecard across On-Page, Technical, AEO (answer-engine) and GEO (AI-citation), measured from your own published content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Per-post AEO Analyzer<\/strong> - checks each post for a direct answer, FAQ block, citation-readiness, a clear entity definition and freshness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brand Visibility<\/strong> - see how an AI assistant describes your brand and what to improve (optional, uses the wptaskify service - see External services).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Classic SEO, done right<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>SEO title &amp; meta description with a live Google-style snippet preview<\/li>\n<li>Focus keyword with a real-time SEO score<\/li>\n<li>Open Graph (Facebook) and Twitter Card tags<\/li>\n<li>Canonical URLs and noindex control<\/li>\n<li>JSON-LD structured data: Organization, WebSite, Breadcrumb, Article, Product, FAQPage, HowTo<\/li>\n<li>Automatic XML sitemap and llms.txt<\/li>\n<li>On-the-fly image WebP for faster pages (originals kept - SEO-safe)<\/li>\n<li>robots.txt editor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Optional: connect to AI (Claude &amp; ChatGPT)<\/h4>\n\n<p>You can optionally connect your site to <strong>wptaskify<\/strong> so an AI assistant (Claude or ChatGPT) can read and update your SEO for you through a secure connector. This is entirely optional - every feature above works on its own without connecting.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin can OPTIONALLY connect to the third-party service <strong>wptaskify<\/strong> (https:\/\/wptaskify.com). It contacts wptaskify only when YOU take an action - never automatically in the background. If you never click Connect or run a Brand check, this plugin makes no external requests.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Connect to AI:<\/strong> When you click \"Connect to AI\", the plugin creates a WordPress Application Password and sends your <strong>site URL, WordPress username, account email, and that Application Password<\/strong> to wptaskify so an AI assistant you authorize can manage your SEO. Clicking \"Disconnect\" sends your site URL to wptaskify to remove the connection. While connected, the plugin checks your connection\/plan status by sending your <strong>site URL<\/strong> to wptaskify.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brand Visibility:<\/strong> When you click \"Check what AI says about my brand\", the plugin sends your <strong>site URL and brand\/site name<\/strong> to wptaskify, which asks an AI model and returns the answer. Requires an active connection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why:<\/strong> So an AI assistant you authorize can read and write your SEO on your instruction, and so we can show how AI describes your brand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Service provider:<\/strong> wptaskify - Terms of Use: https:\/\/wptaskify.com\/terms - Privacy Policy: https:\/\/wptaskify.com\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Google Analytics (only if YOU enable it):<\/strong> If you enter a Google Analytics 4 Measurement ID in the plugin's settings, the plugin loads Google's analytics script (<code>https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js<\/code>) on your public pages so Google can measure your traffic. This happens only when you have set a GA4 ID; leave it blank and no Google script is loaded. Data (page views and visitor information) is sent to Google under your own Analytics account.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Service provider:<\/strong> Google - Terms of Service: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms - Privacy Policy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install it from Plugins &gt; Add New.<\/li>\n<li>Activate it.<\/li>\n<li>Edit any post or page - the SEO box appears below the editor with a live snippet preview and score.<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>wptaskify &gt; AI Traffic<\/strong> to see which AI bots crawl your site and control their access.<\/li>\n<li>(Optional) Open <strong>wptaskify &gt; Dashboard &gt; Connect to AI<\/strong> to let Claude or ChatGPT manage your SEO.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"is%20this%20plugin%20free%3F\"><h3>Is this plugin free?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
