01 · The question

“Are we showing up in ChatGPT?”

Every client is going to ask you this within the year. Right now most consultants answer with screenshots pasted into a Notion doc.

AuditAE answers it with data. Run a prompt set across all four engines and get back cited or not cited, where, and which competitors got picked instead — then fix what’s broken without leaving the tab.

02 · Free on activation

Four tools the moment you activate.

No config screens, no pairing required. These run the second the plugin is live:

Track

AI Crawler Tracker

~30 AI bots logged — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and the rest. Per-bot counts, top crawled paths, last hit. Search Console can't show you any of this.

Googlebot excluded on purpose — Search Console covers it
Fix

404 Redirects

The Redirects tab reads the bot log for 404s and lets you 301 each one in a click. Rules only fire on 404s, so they can never hijack a live page.

Manual add form too · per-rule hit counters
Serve

/llms.txt

Auto-built from your post types, served at your root, fully editable — H1, intro, sections, pinned links. Cached, zero per-request cost.

Follows the llmstxt.org spec
Emit

Schema Graph

Linked JSON-LD on every page — Article, FAQ, Organization, WebSite, all connected by @id, so AI engines resolve relationships without guessing.

Reuses Yoast / Rank Math @ids when present

Everything in wp_options · no new tables · sub-millisecond overhead

03 · The diagnostic only this answers

Crawl problem or content problem?

When an audit says a client is invisible on ChatGPT, the bot log tells you which of two completely different fixes you need.

GPTBot hits · 30d
412 ✓
ChatGPT citations
0of 12 prompts
Lots of GPTBot hits, no citations — a content problem.

The pages are getting read but not picked. Fix structure, schema, and answers — all pushable from the same tab.

GPTBot hits · 30d
0 ✗
ChatGPT citations
0of 12 prompts
Zero GPTBot hits — a crawl problem.

robots.txt, a WAF rule, or a host block list is keeping the bot out before the citation question even comes up.

No other tool puts the crawl data and the citation data in the same view.

04 · The paired workflow

Audit. Fix. Re-audit. One tab.

Pair the plugin with a free AuditAE account and the loop closes:

  1. 1Audit a prompt set across all four engines
  2. 2Diagnose with the bot log, GA4, and Search Console in the same chat
  3. 3Fix by pushing meta, FAQ schema, redirects, and draft edits straight to WordPress
  4. 4Re-audit and show the client the lift

Ask AEBOT “which post lost clicks last week and why” and it cross-references Search Console, GA4, and your citation audits, drafts the fix, and ships it to Yoast or Rank Math with your go-ahead.

This is the part of the workflow that used to take five tabs and a copy-paste chain. Now it’s a conversation.

05 · Your SEO plugin stays

Built around Yoast and Rank Math — never against them.

Most “AI SEO” plugins duplicate the meta fields you already have and conflict with your SEO plugin under the hood. AuditAE owns the new surface only — bot tracking, redirects, /llms.txt, linked schema. When it writes a meta description, it writes to yourSEO plugin’s keys.

One client on Yoast, another on Rank Math?

Both are native, free and premium. The plugin auto-detects which is installed and writes to the right meta keys — run both at once and both get updated. The Schema Graph reuses their existing @id values, so no duplicate Organization blocks and no conflicting WebSite nodes.

Which WordPress plugin tracks AI citations?+
The AuditAE WordPress plugin. Once paired with an AuditAE account it runs your prompt set across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews and reports which engines cite your pages — then lets you push fixes back to Yoast or Rank Math from the same tab. The plugin itself is free; the citation audits are pay-per-use with a free credit on signup.
How do I see AI crawler logs in WordPress?+
Install the AuditAE plugin and it logs every AI crawler hit — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and ~30 others — with the User-Agent, URL, and status code, capped at the last 500 entries in wp_options (no new tables). That gives you AI crawler analytics inside WordPress: which bots crawl you, which pages they hit, and where they're getting 404s, all without an external log pipeline.
How do I detect ChatGPT and AI-bot 404 errors on my site?+
The plugin flags every 404 served to an AI crawler — so when GPTBot or another bot hits a dead URL (a moved post, a broken slug), you see it in the crawler log and can turn it into a one-click 301. Catching ChatGPT 404s matters because a bot that hits a dead page can't cite it; fixing the redirect keeps the page eligible to be cited.
What does the plugin do without an AuditAE account?+
Tracks ~30 AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and more), turns bot 404s into one-click 301s, serves /llms.txt, and emits linked JSON-LD schema. All free, no signup needed for those four once you have the plugin installed.
Will it slow down my client's site?+
No. Bot detection is a single User-Agent check, the log is capped at 500 entries, /llms.txt is cached, and schema renders once in wp_head. Well under a millisecond per request, and nothing lives outside wp_options — no new database tables.
Does it work with my SEO plugin?+
Yoast and Rank Math are both native, free and premium. AuditAE writes to their meta keys and reuses their schema @ids. Run both at once and both get updated. The plugin owns only the new surface — bot tracking, redirects, /llms.txt, linked schema — never the fields your SEO plugin already manages.
Will posts publish without my approval?+
No. Publish is off by default. Everything pushed from a paired AuditAE account lands as a draft until you flip the toggle in Settings → AuditAE. The plugin ships four capability toggles — read, draft, publish, write_seo — and only read + draft are on to start.
What does it cost?+
The plugin is free. The paired dashboard bills per audit check and per WordPress action — no subscription, no seats, no per-site fees. A free credit lands on signup, no card required.
How do I disconnect?+
One click in Settings → AuditAE. The AES-256 encrypted token is wiped instantly and the four free tools keep working.
