AIGeschikt Connector

AIGeschikt is a paid service that measures how visible a business is in AI answers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, ...) and improves it. This plugin is the connector between your WordPress site and that service. It needs an AIGeschikt account to do anything useful — see "External services" below for exactly what is sent where. What the plugin does on your site:

• Content edits — AIGeschikt can send a list of small text corrections for a page. The plugin applies them to the rendered HTML when the page is output (your content in the database is not changed), so they can be undone at any time. Text edits can only change visible text and the alt, title and aria-label attributes; scripts, styles and the page head are never touched.
• schema.org markup — outputs JSON-LD that AIGeschikt provides for a page, next to (or instead of) the markup of your SEO plugin.
• Blog posts and pages — AIGeschikt can create blog posts and pages as drafts. Nothing is published without your approval. The plugin also fills the SEO description fields of Rank Math / Yoast, supports Polylang, and ships one page template ("AIGeschikt full width").
• Structured data fixes for Rank Math — optional and off by default: when AIGeschikt enables it for a site, the plugin corrects and completes the schema.org graph that Rank Math outputs (your business details as they appear on your site, no Article markup on pages that are not articles) and can name the real author, with the profile you agreed on with AIGeschikt, on the blog posts AIGeschikt publishes. It only changes what is output; nothing is written to the settings of Rank Math or WordPress.
• Blog styling — optional and off by default: a stylesheet that makes the blog posts AIGeschikt publishes match your theme (table of contents, call-out box, tables). It is only printed on those posts, cannot load anything from outside your site, and your theme and your own posts are untouched.
• Theme text fields (Advanced Custom Fields) — AIGeschikt can correct a text in an ACF text field (for example a price or opening hours). Only plain text fields, only when the current value is exactly what AIGeschikt expects, all-or-nothing, and a change can never add scripts or other code.
• AI crawler tracking — measures which AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, ...) visit which pages. Visits are stored in a small table in your database and sent to AIGeschikt once the plugin is connected.
• llms.txt and IndexNow key — serves an llms.txt file and an IndexNow key file when AIGeschikt provides them.
• Cache purge — clears the page caches of well-known cache plugins after a change.

The plugin is passive: it makes no changes by itself. Everything is done on request of the connected AIGeschikt account, authenticated with a WordPress Application Password of a user that has the matching capabilities (edit rights per page; Editor rights for site-wide actions; Administrator rights to set up the connection). Measuring AI crawlers on cached pages (optional, off by default) A page cache can serve a page without WordPress starting, so a plugin cannot see those visits. If you turn on "Measure AI bots on cached pages" on the settings page, the plugin does what caching plugins do:

• it places a small wp-content/advanced-cache.php (WordPress' own early-loading hook) that only reads the request's user agent and, for a known AI crawler, writes one line to a spool folder in your uploads directory;
• it adds one line define( 'WP_CACHE', true ); to wp-config.php if WP_CACHE is not defined anywhere yet.

If another plugin already has its own advanced-cache.php, ours is placed in front and that file is loaded right after it, unchanged (we move it to advanced-cache-aigeschikt-origineel.php and move it back when you turn the feature off). Any error in our part is caught, so it can never take your site or your cache down. Turning the feature off, deactivating or deleting the plugin removes both pieces again. You can also do the two steps by hand; the settings page shows the exact text. The feature is never enabled automatically.
