TWT AEO Ultimate

AEO Ultimate AEO Ultimate is a fully modular optimization engine built to make your WordPress site discoverable, readable, and highly citable by AI search engines and LLM agents. As search evolves from traditional links to AI-generated answers, the plugin prepares your site by delivering connected @graph JSON-LD schema, explicit publisher/author identity (E-E-A-T), and dedicated AI-agent discovery files (like llms.txt). Designed to run smoothly alongside your existing SEO setup, AEO Ultimate lets you toggle only the features you need—ensuring you never duplicate schema or cause plugin conflicts. Fully modular: enable only what your site needs. Every feature toggles independently. 🔍 Schema Markup & Structured Data The core engine. It detects the schema already on each page, classifies page intent (homepage, service page, blog post, location page, or product), and outputs clean JSON-LD only where it's missing — never duplicating what your SEO plugin already provides. Structured data includes Organization, Article, NewsArticle, Person (author), FAQPage, Service, Product (with Brand and Offer), LocalBusiness, ContactPoint, Event, Review, AggregateRating, and BreadcrumbList. The Command Center gives you a live readiness score, duplicate-schema conflict alerts, and real-time AI-crawler activity. When a page carries more than one schema type, they're automatically woven into a single connected @graph — one identity spine (WebSite → Organization → WebPage) with every entity cross-referenced by @id — so AI crawlers read your site as one web of facts instead of scattered fragments. 🤖 AI Ready: llms.txt & Crawler Control llms.txt and llms-full.txt endpoints, Markdown content negotiation for AI agents, Content-Signal headers, semantic Breadcrumb signals, RFC 8288 Link headers for agent discovery, an Agent Skills Index (/.well-known/agent-skills/), an Agent Search REST API, MCP/WebMCP discovery, OAuth/OIDC discovery, an RFC 9727 API catalog, and per-bot rate limiting and blocking for 20+ AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and more). The plugin can create the /.well-known/ agent-discovery files for you so your site reads as "agent ready" — verify it with a checker like isitagentready.com. Automatic setup needs server write access; where that's unavailable, you get copy-and-paste instructions to add the files by hand. You decide exactly which AI systems may read, cite, or train on your content. 🏢 Company & Publisher Identity Organization JSON-LD (legal name, logo, contact points, sameAs), an explicit article:publisher / article:author Open Graph split, a sitewide fb:app_id for Meta Domain Insights, and one-click import from Yoast or Rank Math. ✍️ Author & Company E-E-A-T An E-E-A-T scorecard for both your author and company (publisher) entities. Author profiles output as Person schema with EducationalOccupationalCredential and sameAs — job titles, credentials, expertise areas, years of experience, and social links — alongside your organization details. The plugin suggests the missing trust items and applies them semi-automatically. Includes optional author boxes and hover cards, plus a completeness score across every author. 🖼️ Image SEO & Open Graph Generate image alt text and Open Graph titles, descriptions, and share images — automatically from your content or with AI. A unified Open Graph and Twitter/X Card manager scans every page for coverage and lets you edit og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type, twitter:card, and twitter:creator from one screen. 🛒 WooCommerce & Shopping Automatic Product schema built from your product attributes (Brand, Offer, price, availability, GTIN/MPN/SKU), optional AI product-description enrichment, and live sync against your Google Merchant Center and Bing Merchant Center feeds — tracking price and availability mismatches, identifier gaps, and item-level rejection codes. 📍 Local SEO Build LocalBusiness schema with a predictive business-type picker, opening hours, service area, and geo coordinates. Audit NAP (name, address, phone) consistency against Google Knowledge Graph, Google Business Profile, and Bing Maps — and get a list of the directories and citation sites you should be listed on, tailored to your industry. 🗺️ Sitemaps, Indexing & News A cached XML sitemap at /aeo-sitemap.xml with per-post-type controls and collision protection against Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO. IndexNow instantly pings Bing, Yandex, and other engines on publish. A Google News sitemap with NewsArticle schema kicks in when your content qualifies as news. And a Not Indexed report uses the Google Search Console URL Inspection API to find pages that are published but missing from Google's index, then flags likely causes — thin content, keyword stuffing, missing heading hierarchy — so you know what to update. 📊 Command Center: Analytics & Performance Connect Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, and Bing Webmaster Tools for a single AEO performance view. Run Google PageSpeed Insights audits — the Lighthouse score plus the Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FCP, TBT) that affect both ranking and how cleanly AI crawlers render your pages, cached for six hours. A traffic-leak scan cross-references GA4 (last 28 days) with PageSpeed to surface your highest-traffic pages that also bounce hard on slow mobile loads, and a content scan flags on-page anti-patterns — inline scripts, external scripts in content, base64 images, and iframes — that page builders and AI-pasted code often introduce. When Google and Bing surface their AI search reports (AI Mode and AI Overviews), the Command Center links you straight to them. 🛠️ More Tools Customer Reviews with context-aware AggregateRating/Review schema, display shortcodes, and industry-based suggestions for where to collect more reviews. A "Last Updated" freshness badge. PR Bridge AI, which detects press-release intent in your posts and offers ways to distribute them. And an AI Prompt Rate Limiter to protect your API budget. External Services & TWT Agency Optional AI features connect to Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Perplexity using your own API keys. Other optional integrations cover Google and Microsoft APIs, IndexNow, and PR wire services. Nothing is sent anywhere until you configure a feature and explicitly trigger it — see the FAQ for the full list with terms and privacy links, and the bundled EXTERNAL-SERVICES.md for the complete outbound-link inventory. Optional TWT Agency connectivity is available; the plugin is fully functional standalone.

2.12.0

• Bug fix: the Author Entity (E-E-A-T) admin page could stop loading with a PHP fatal error on some sites. The author data lookup now returns a consistent structure, so the author profiles, certification counts, and summary totals render reliably.

2.11.0

• New unified Knowledge Graph: when a page would output two or more schema blocks (for example Organization + FAQPage, or a post with an author), they are now woven into a single connected @graph — one identity spine (WebSite → Organization → WebPage) with every entity cross-referenced by @id — instead of separate, disconnected JSON-LD blocks. Pages with only one schema type are left exactly as before.
• Consolidates duplicate Organization output, links each page's primary entity (Article, FAQPage, Service, Product) to the WebPage, and emits the author (Person) and publisher (Organization) once, referenced by @id.
• New Knowledge Graph admin page to define entities, relationships, and per-URL about/mentions mappings, with Wikipedia/Wikidata sameAs grounding.

2.10.0

• New Smart 404 Rescue module (default off): turns 404s into fixes with no per-404 logging. Ignores hacker/bot probes, matches dead URLs to the closest page by typo-distance, auto-heals broken internal links at the source (with undo), and 302s visitors on.
• Smart 404 Lost Page Recovery uses your existing Search Console connection to find pages Google still ranks that now 404 (renamed/moved content), and auto-creates permanent 301s to the closest live page — applying to crawlers too, so equity transfers. Ambiguous matches are listed for one-click approval; a GSC 404 export can also be pasted in.
• Smart 404 admin page to run the lost-page scan, approve redirects, review/remove 301s, undo heals, and extend the hostile-probe patterns.

2.9.1

• Product schema now emits Google's newly documented merchant-listing fields: priceValidUntil on every offer, validFrom/validThrough for scheduled sales (simple and variable products), and the recommended category property mirrored from WooCommerce product categories.
• New AI Google Product Category resolver: one click maps a product to Google's official Product Taxonomy and adds it to the schema as a CategoryCode object, so Google Shopping and AI shopping agents read the same category. Cached per product.
• Category alignment audit: Google and Bing Merchant Center sync now flags products whose on-page category disagrees with the feed, as a new Category Mismatch signal in the Integrity Score.

2.9.0 Initial public release on WordPress.org.

• Schema Advisor and Detector — Organization, Article, NewsArticle, Person, FAQPage, Service, Product, LocalBusiness, ContactPoint, Event, Review, AggregateRating, and BreadcrumbList JSON-LD, added only where missing.
• AI Ready — llms.txt and llms-full.txt, Markdown content negotiation, Content-Signal headers, and per-bot rate limiting and blocking for 20+ AI crawlers.
• Author E-E-A-T profiles and Company/publisher identity (article:publisher, fb:app_id).
• Open Graph and Twitter/X Card manager with optional AI-generated share images.
• WooCommerce Product schema with Google and Bing Merchant Center sync.
• Local SEO with LocalBusiness schema and NAP consistency auditing.
• XML and Google News sitemaps, IndexNow, Image SEO alt text, Reviews, and a Not Indexed scanner.
