Automated schema markup (40+ types)
AI FAQ generator
AEO Score (0–100) per post

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Answer Engine Optimization

Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing web content so AI-powered answer engines — like ChatGPT Search, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and Claude — can discover, understand, and cite your website when users ask questions. Unlike traditional SEO (ranking in link lists), AEO focuses on becoming the source AI systems quote in direct answers.

Yoast and Rank Math are excellent traditional SEO plugins. Answer Engine Optimization adds a dedicated AEO layer: AI citation tracking, AEO Score per post, AI FAQ generation, competitor gap analysis for AI visibility, llms.txt for AI crawlers, and schema types optimized for answer engines. It works alongside them — not as a replacement.

Yes. Everything in this plugin works without paying: schema, FAQs, blocks, the AEO score, llms.txt, AI crawler controls, AI traffic, the site audit and Perplexity visibility tracking. AI features use your own API key, so you only pay the provider for what you use. The optional Answer Engine Optimization Pro add-on adds agency and reporting features: ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude visibility tracking, share of voice and trends, scheduled scans, Google Search Console and GA4, Bing import, client reports, white-label, bulk AI tools, schema templates, an MCP server, role permissions and advanced WooCommerce schema. Nothing in this free plugin is locked.

Install and activate the Answer Engine Optimization Pro add-on, then go to AEO → License, paste your license key and click Activate license. The license is checked once a day; if the license server cannot be reached, Pro keeps working.

No. Schema, scoring, the site audit, FAQs, Open Graph, llms.txt and local business schema work without any key. An AI key improves FAQ generation, rewriting and briefs. Citation tracking needs a Perplexity key.

Yes. It outputs one connected JSON-LD graph (WebSite, Organization, Article/WebPage, FAQPage, Speakable, LocalBusiness). The Schema Builder lets you replace a post's schema with your own JSON-LD for about 60 Schema.org types, with templates and required-property checks.

Clear question-and-answer content is easy for AI systems to extract and quote, and FAQPage markup helps them identify it. Google no longer shows FAQ rich results for most sites, but it still reads the markup. The plugin shows FAQs on the page and marks them up only where you add them.

No plugin can guarantee citations. This plugin improves the things you control: clear answers, structured data and crawlability. With a Perplexity key you can check whether Perplexity actually cites your pages for the keywords you track.

Yes. WooCommerce already outputs Product schema (price, availability, ratings, SKU). This plugin adds brand and GTIN to it rather than printing a duplicate Product.

It adds a visible direct-answer block at the top of a post and Speakable schema that points to it.
