Connect the tools you already use.

AuditAE slots into your existing stack — Google, your SEO plugin, whatever your site runs on — without replacing anything. The engines it audits, the properties it reads, and the fixes for your site, all in one workspace.

One OAuth step unlocks all four Google scopes. Revoking removes them simultaneously.

01 · AI engines

The four engines every audit can hit.

Each prompt × engine cell is one check (5–12¢, priced by engine). Run all four in a single audit or select individually — none are upsells. See how each engine differs on the AI engines page.

ChatGPT

OpenAI · Responses API + web_search

The world's most-used AI assistant. AuditAE fires your prompts through the same search-enabled API that powers ChatGPT's live, cited answers — not a simulation of it.

Each check records

  • Cited / mentioned / absent
  • Source URLs
  • Competitor mentions
  • Full answer text

Queries the search-enabled mode — testing on ChatGPT.com without web search may differ.

Perplexity

Perplexity AI · Sonar API (sonar-pro)

Citation-first by design — nearly every answer ships with numbered sources, and fresh content gets picked up fastest here. The most useful engine to track.

Each check records

  • Cited / mentioned / absent
  • Sources + positions
  • Competitor mentions
  • Full answer text

A rankable source list per answer — winning a citation here has a direct traffic implication.

Google AI Overviews

Google · SerpAPI live SERP parsing

The AI answer above Google's blue links — on roughly 15% of searches and climbing. No official API exists, so AuditAE uses live SERP parsing, the category-standard method.

Each check records

  • Overview shown?
  • Cited / mentioned / absent
  • Sources in the Overview
  • Competitor mentions

Overviews trigger mostly on informational and comparison prompts — no Overview, and the cell says so.

Gemini

Google · Gemini API (gemini-2.5-flash)

Google's native model, woven into Search, Workspace, and Android. AuditAE queries it directly with web grounding enabled.

Each check records

  • Cited / mentioned / absent
  • Source URLs
  • Competitor mentions
  • Full answer text
02 · Google

One OAuth step. Four properties.

Dashboard → Settings → Integrations → Connect Google. Scopes are minimal by design — read-only for GA4 and Search Console, send-only for Gmail, own-files-only for Drive. Disconnect any time; all four revoke together. The same connection answers Search Console and GA4 questions in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through the Search Console MCP and Google Analytics MCP servers.

Google Analytics 4

analytics.readonly

Once a GA4 property is selected in your site's Settings, AuditAE pulls session data, landing page performance, and daily traffic trends from the GA4 Data API.

Sessions summaryLast 30 days vs. prior 30, with % change
Top landing pagesSorted by sessions — which pages actually drive traffic
Daily timeseries14-day day-by-day chart for spotting spikes or drops
Custom queriesAsk AEBOT anything — events, conversions, channels, revenue

Google Search Console

webmasters.readonly

What Google thinks you rank for, click-through rates, average position — surfaced alongside citation data, so you can see whether an uncited prompt at least has organic visibility.

Top organic queriesSorted by clicks, with impressions and position
Page-level dataClicks and impressions per URL, not just per query
Daily timeseriesSee whether a content change moved the needle
Custom queriesRegex filters, page path, search type, date range

Gmail

gmail.send · send-only

AEBOT can send reports, audit summaries, and monthly writeups from your connected account — recipient, subject, and body preview shown before anything is sent. Nothing fires automatically.

Email any reportSend what AEBOT generates without leaving the dashboard
NotificationsAudit-complete emails when a scheduled tracker fires
Monthly deliveryPerformance writeups straight to stakeholders

Google Drive

drive.file · own files only

Save any report as a native Google Doc — editable, shareable, findable. The drive.file scope can only see files AuditAE created; it cannot read your existing Drive.

Reports as DocsMonthly reports, technical audits, competitive breakdowns
Share linksTeammates and clients comment and edit in Drive
Living archiveAudit history that lives outside AuditAE
03 · WordPress

The deepest integration in the product.

Citation audit findings become content changes — no separate editor, no copy-pasting between tools. Works with the Block Editor, Classic, and Elementor (Elementor pages are scored and editable), multisite-friendly, and writes natively to Yoast SEO and Rank Math meta fields. Full feature tour on the WordPress plugin page.

  • WordPress 6.0+
  • PHP 7.4+
  • Block + Classic Editor
  • Elementor + Elementor Pro
  • Multisite
  • Yoast SEO
  • Rank Math

Paired in three minutes. Permissioned by you.

  1. 1. In WP Admin → Plugins → Add New, search “AuditAE”, install, and activate. (Auto-updates from WordPress.org.)
  2. 2. In Settings → AuditAE, click Connect and copy the 8-character pairing code — single-use, expires in 10 minutes.
  3. 3. Paste it into AuditAE. The bearer token is stored AES-256-GCM encrypted in wp_options, keyed off AUTH_KEY plus a per-install secret.

Four capabilities, each independently switchable. Enable only what you need — every change pushed from the dashboard is logged in WP Admin.

04 · Any other website

Not on WordPress? Everything still works.

Audits, citation tracking, the technical and agent-readiness checks, and the fix plan all run from your domain — no plugin, nothing to install. AuditAE detects what the site is built on and writes each fix for it: the exact text to change, where to change it on your platform, and paste-ready JSON-LD and meta tags. On WordPress the plugin applies fixes for you; everywhere else, your coding agent or you do, step by step.

Built from code

Next.js, Astro, Gatsby, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Hugo — anything in a repo
Connect Claude Code or Cursor to the AuditAE MCP server
It pulls the fix plan, edits your files, and you deploy

Shopify

Fix plans name the exact admin screen for each change
Search engine listing for titles and descriptions
Paste-ready JSON-LD for the theme's templates

Webflow · Framer

Steps for the Designer or canvas, and CMS items
Page settings for SEO titles and descriptions
JSON-LD ready for custom code in the head

Wix · Squarespace

Step-by-step edits in the editor you already use
SEO settings and structured-data fields named per page
Paste-ready schema — no developer needed

FAQ

Integration questions, answered.

Can I connect multiple WordPress sites?

Yes. Each AuditAE site pairs with one WordPress install. If you manage multiple brands, create separate sites in your workspace and pair each independently.

Does connecting Google give AuditAE access to my email?

Gmail scope is send-only (gmail.send) — AuditAE cannot read your inbox, drafts, or existing emails. Drive scope is drive.file — it only sees files it created.

Do I need Yoast or Rank Math to use the WordPress integration?

No. Without either, write_seo covers AuditAE's own schema injection (FAQPage, Organization, Article JSON-LD). With Yoast or Rank Math installed, AuditAE also writes to their meta fields.

Does the WordPress integration work with Elementor?

Yes, from plugin 0.29.0. Elementor pages, including Elementor Pro widgets, are read from Elementor's own widget data, scored by the per-post AI Readiness checklist, and edited in place with exact find-and-replace text edits. Fields bound to Elementor Pro dynamic tags are skipped.

Can the WordPress plugin compress images?

Yes, from plugin 0.35.0 on a paired site: the uploaded JPEG, PNG and WebP files and their thumbnails are resized and compressed in place (same names and formats), each original is backed up, and "Restore original" in the Media Library puts it back. 1¢ per 5 images, free when it saves little.

Which AI engines are supported?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini — each selectable per audit. Copilot and Claude aren't currently citation audit targets, though ClaudeBot's crawl activity is logged by the WordPress plugin.

Does the WordPress plugin slow down my site?

No. The REST routes only run when AuditAE calls them, and the frontend work is a single User-Agent scan per request for the AI crawler log plus optional JSON-LD in the head — well under a millisecond on any reasonable host.

My site isn't on WordPress. Does AuditAE still work?

Yes. Audits, citation tracking, the technical and agent-readiness checks and fix plans work on any site from its domain. AuditAE detects the platform — Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Framer, or a code-built site such as Next.js or Astro — and gives each fix as steps for that platform with paste-ready JSON-LD and meta tags. On code-built sites, a coding agent like Claude Code or Cursor connected to the AuditAE MCP server can make the changes in your repo.

Can I use AuditAE without connecting any integrations?

Yes. The core citation audit works with nothing connected. Google and WordPress are additive — more context for AEBOT, plus the content-fix workflows.

Connect your stack. Or don’t — yet.

The core citation audit needs nothing connected. Google takes one OAuth step; the WordPress plugin takes three minutes. Start wherever you like.
