AuditAE AI Search Toolkit

AuditAE AI Search Toolkit is a WordPress plugin designed to help site owners and SEO professionals monitor and improve their website's visibility and citation across major AI search engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. The plugin addresses the growing need to understand and optimize how AI bots interact with and cite website content, offering data-driven insights into both crawler activity and citation status.

The toolkit provides several integrated features upon activation, requiring no configuration or account setup. It tracks approximately 30 different AI bots, logging per-bot counts, top crawled paths, and last access times, with Googlebot intentionally excluded. The plugin identifies and helps resolve 404 errors encountered by AI crawlers, allowing users to create 301 redirects directly from the interface. org specification, and emits a linked JSON-LD schema graph on every page, covering Article, FAQ, Organization, and WebSite entities. This schema graph is designed to clarify relationships for AI engines and reuses existing identifiers from Yoast or Rank Math when available.

AuditAE enables users to run prompt-based audits across four AI engines, reporting on whether the site is cited, where citations occur, and which competitors may be cited instead. The plugin distinguishes between crawl problems (where bots are blocked from accessing content) and content problems (where content is crawled but not cited), providing actionable diagnostics. Users can push fixes such as meta updates, FAQ schema, and redirects directly to Yoast or Rank Math from within the plugin. The workflow is further enhanced by integration with a free AuditAE account, which allows for deeper auditing, diagnosis using Search Console and GA4 data, and automated drafting and publishing of fixes.

AuditAE is offered as a free plugin for WordPress, with no subscription, account, or configuration required. It is built to work alongside popular SEO plugins like Yoast and Rank Math, updating their fields as needed and avoiding conflicts. The plugin is positioned as a specialized tool for AI search optimization and citation tracking within the WordPress ecosystem.
