Kennedy Site Scout

Kennedy Site Scout is a WordPress plugin designed to help site owners detect and log visits from AI crawlers, generate files that AI systems read, and present clear site credentials for improved recognition by language models. The tool addresses the challenge that most WordPress sites are not visible to AI systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, which rely on specific signals and structured files to understand and cite web content. xml automatically from existing WordPress content, Kennedy Site Scout provides AI crawlers with explicit information about site coverage, authorship, and authority, increasing the likelihood of being cited in AI-generated results.

The plugin detects and logs over 25 different AI crawlers, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Meta ExternalAgent, Anthropic-AI, GoogleOther, and others. Its dashboard displays which bots are active, which pages they access, and when visits occur, giving users actionable insight into AI crawler activity across their entire site. The plugin also honors Yoast SEO and Rank Math noindex settings, supports WooCommerce product pages, and allows for a configurable cron schedule for background updates. No files are written to the server filesystem, and all updates to the generated LLM files occur automatically with each new publication.

A key feature is the Site Authority section, where users can input their name, credentials, experience, and location. This information is placed at the top of every LLM file, providing AI systems with clear attribution and enhancing trust signals, which can improve the likelihood of being credited by AI models. The Pro version offers additional features such as unlimited page support, detailed author metadata per content item, featured content pinning, analytics on top crawled pages, and expanded log entry capacity.

Upgrades to the Pro version can be managed directly from the WordPress dashboard without the need for separate accounts or third-party dashboards.
