FoundByAI — SEO for AI Bots

FoundByAI — SEO for AI Bots is a WordPress plugin designed to improve the visibility of WordPress pages to AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. It addresses the issue that many WordPress sites are not readily accessible or discoverable by these AI bots, which can impact whether site content is cited or referenced in AI-generated responses.

The plugin performs an audit of every page on a WordPress site to assess its readiness for AI crawling. It identifies specific issues that may prevent AI tools from accessing or understanding the content and provides concrete fixes. One of its key features is serving clean Markdown versions of site pages specifically to AI crawlers, ensuring that the content is easily processed by these bots. Additionally, FoundByAI automatically generates an llms.txt file, which is intended to further facilitate AI bot access and citation.

FoundByAI tracks 20 different AI bots and conducts per-page audits with actionable recommendations. It is built specifically for optimizing AI visibility, rather than being an add-on to traditional SEO plugins. However, it is designed to work alongside existing SEO tools such as Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO, reading their scores without interfering with their functionality.

The plugin is targeted at bloggers and publishers who want their content to be quoted by AI tools, store owners using WooCommerce who seek to make their products discoverable by AI shopping assistants, as well as marketers and agencies. FoundByAI is delivered as a WordPress plugin, integrating directly into the WordPress ecosystem for ease of use by site owners.
