Title: WellCited – GEO & AI Visibility Audit + Fix Author: peterbeko Published: Август 14, 2026 Last modified: Август 14, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wellcited.svg) # WellCited – GEO & AI Visibility Audit + Fix By [peterbeko](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peterbeko/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wellcited.1.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/wellcited/#description) * [Reviews](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/wellcited/#reviews) * [Development](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/wellcited/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wellcited/) ## Description Classic SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of links. Generative Engine Optimization( GEO) optimizes for being cited: AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews — read your page, extract the clearest answer they can find and quote it. Content that ranks fine in classic search can still be invisible to them: buried answers, rambling paragraphs, missing structure, no machine-readable signals. WellCited audits how well each post can be found, understood and cited by AI answer engines — and helps you fix the findings in place, inside WordPress. Every audit runs locally in PHP on your server. No accounts, no API keys, no external services. #### The audit Nineteen rules score each post from 0 to 100 across six weighted categories: answer readiness, structure, schema and extractability, freshness, authority and technical. Every finding says what is wrong and exactly how to fix it. Posts too short for a meaningful audit are labeled as such instead of getting a flattering score. #### Fix in place * **Editor integration** — audit button, score, category breakdown and the top three fixes right in the block editor sidebar (classic editor gets a meta box). * **Site dashboard** — average score, score distribution, your ten best and worst posts, and one-click re-audit of everything. * **Answer Capsule** — a block (and `[wellcited_answer]` shortcode) for a clearly delimited, machine-extractable direct answer near the top of the content. * **Structured data** — Article, FAQ (built from your question headings), Organization, Author and Breadcrumbs JSON-LD in a single graph. Strictly additive: any type your SEO plugin already outputs is skipped, never duplicated. * **AI crawler controls** — opt-in robots.txt blocks for GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, cohere-ai and Meta-ExternalFetcher. Everything stays allowed unless you decide otherwise. * **llms.txt** — a plain-text content index served at /llms.txt, with automatic deference when another plugin already provides one. * **Freshness** — an optional machine-readable «Last updated» line. #### Honest by design WellCited measures machine-readability signals; nobody can guarantee that any AI engine will cite you, and this plugin does not pretend to. The frontend footprint is a few hundred bytes of structured data and capsule styling, loaded only where needed, with no extra database queries. #### External services None. The free plugin makes zero external requests: no API calls, no CDN assets, no telemetry, no update pings. ## Screenshots [⌊Audit sidebar in the block editor: score, category breakdown and the top three fixes.⌉⌊Audit sidebar in the block editor: score, category breakdown and the top three fixes.⌉[ Audit sidebar in the block editor: score, category breakdown and the top three fixes.

No — it is built to coexist and is tested alongside each of them. WellCited detects the structured data your SEO plugin already outputs and skips those types instead of duplicating them. FAQ schema is skipped per post, only when that post uses your SEO plugin’s own FAQ block. ### Does it slow my site down? No. Audits run only in the admin area, on demand. On the frontend the plugin adds no extra database queries and at most a few hundred bytes: the JSON-LD graph, the capsule stylesheet (loaded only on pages that use a capsule) and the optional last- updated line. ### What data leaves my site? Nothing. Every audit runs locally in PHP on your server. The plugin makes no external requests of any kind and collects no usage data. ### /llms.txt shows a 404 — why? The /llms.txt address needs pretty permalinks (Settings Permalinks, anything except« Plain»); re-save the permalink settings once after activating the plugin. On plain permalinks the same content is available at /?wellcited_llms=1. ### Where does the score come from? From nineteen local, rule-based checks with fixed category weights — no AI call, no black box. Checks that do not apply to a post are excluded instead of counting against it, and the sidebar lists every check behind the score. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WellCited – GEO & AI Visibility Audit + Fix” is open source software.

An add-on can return a React node to attach a per-finding action; the core plugin renders nothing here on its own. ## Meta * Version **1.0.0** * Last updated ** 3 рўз ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.4** * PHP version ** 8.0 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wellcited/) * Tags * [ai seo](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai-seo/)[ai visibility](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai-visibility/) [Generative Engine Optimization](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/generative-engine-optimization/) [geo](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/geo/)[schema](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/schema/) * [Advanced View](https://tg.wordpress.org/plugins/wellcited/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
