Search Visibility (AI & GEO Audit)

Search Visibility is a local auditor, not another llms.txt-only plugin and not an SEO suite.

It inspects public WordPress content on your site, then turns findings into a task list (open, edit, mark done). Traditional SEO checks and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) checks sit side by side. You keep Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, or SEOPress for titles, canonicals, sitemaps, and schema.

The plugin measures on-site readiness. It does not guarantee rankings, citations, traffic, or inclusion in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, or any other product.

How this is different

• Auditor, not a generator suite. It does not overwrite titles, canonicals, robots.txt, or schema owned by your SEO plugin.
• Tasks, not a dump of warnings. Each finding is a checklist item with a Fix/Edit link and Mark done.
• SEO and GEO as siblings. Separate admin screens, one workflow.
• On-demand only. Nothing scans on every page load and nothing is sent to an external AI API.
• llms.txt is optional. You generate it and choose whether to serve /llms.txt. Draft, private, and password-protected URLs are excluded.

What this plugin does

• Run an on-demand GEO audit. WordPress APIs and stored content only.
• Show a GEO Readiness Score (0–100). Local heuristic, not a ranking prediction.
• Run an on-demand SEO scan of public pages for titles, meta descriptions, headings, and image alt text.
• Optional curated llms.txt.
• Detects Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, and SEOPress when they are active.
• Optional email after a scan (off by default, at most once per 24 hours) via wp_mail.

What this plugin does not do

• No OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, or other AI API key.
• No account or SaaS registration.
• No telemetry and no Search Visibility servers.
• No automatic content or metadata writes.
• No background scans.

Privacy

• Core features do not call third-party APIs.
• Settings live in geo_optimizer_settings and are not exposed on the public REST API.
• Scan caches and completed tasks are WordPress options.
• Optional dashboard reminder uses user meta.
• Optional post-scan email uses wp_mail to the site admin address.
• Deleting the plugin runs uninstall.php and removes that data.
