AI SEO and GEO for WordPress and WooCommerce: meta texts, product texts, FAQ blocks, schema and llms.txt, with undo for every change.

== Description ==

AutoGEO is the WordPress plugin of the BOTS4.me AutoGEO service. It keeps your website ready for classic search engines and for AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude and others).

The BOTS4.me service reads your public pages and WooCommerce products, scores them, and writes better meta titles and descriptions, product texts, image alt texts, short answer blocks with FAQ, structured data (JSON-LD) and an llms.txt file. It works with Yoast SEO, Rank Math and SEOPress: meta texts are written into their fields, nothing of theirs is removed.

Every change is logged and can be undone with one click. In Demo mode AutoGEO only emails you its proposals and changes nothing. It writes to your site only after you switch to Live and confirm your business profile.

= What it does =

* Meta titles, descriptions and focus keywords written into Yoast SEO, Rank Math or SEOPress (or printed by the plugin when none is active).
* Product SEO for WooCommerce: descriptions, short descriptions, image alt texts and category texts. Long texts go to a review queue first.
* GEO answer blocks and FAQ sections, with FAQPage structured data.
* Structured data that complements, and never duplicates, what your SEO plugin and WooCommerce already print.
* llms.txt and Markdown versions of your pages for AI crawlers, robots.txt rules for AI crawlers, IndexNow.
* Redirects for broken links (from a log of missing pages that stores only the path) and a count of AI crawler visits.
* Control, statistics, logs and settings of the BOTS4.me dashboard right inside wp-admin.

= A service, not only a plugin =

This plugin is the WordPress side of the AutoGEO service of BOTS4.me (TreeLab OÜ, Estonia). AutoGEO runs on the
BOTS4.me servers (EU-hosted); the plugin connects your site, shows the BOTS4.me dashboard inside wp-admin and serves the results on your site. You need a BOTS4.me account. You can create one from the plugin; new
accounts start with a free Discovery month, after which a free plan or a paid plan applies.

== External services ==

This plugin connects to the BOTS4.me API at https://bots4.me (operated by TreeLab OÜ) — only after you create an
account or sign in from the plugin's admin page.

* When you sign up or sign in: the email address, the password you choose, the billing details you enter, the
  verification code, the address of this site and its language are sent to bots4.me to create or open your account.
* While connected: the plugin sends requests signed with this site's API key to read and change your app settings,
  plan, statistics and logs, and to start the free Discovery month when you click it.
* When you connect the website (one click, after signing in): the plugin creates a WordPress Application
  Password for your user and sends it with the site address to bots4.me, so the service can read your
  pages and products and write the changes you allow through this plugin's REST API. You can revoke it
  at any time in your WordPress profile; Disconnect and uninstall revoke it too.
* On your site the plugin keeps a log of missing pages (path only) and a daily count of visits by
  known AI crawlers (bot name only: no IP addresses, no visitor data). BOTS4.me reads both through
  the same API.
* Nothing is sent before you sign up or sign in, and the plugin contains no tracking of visitors.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it change anything right away? =

No. Every app starts in Demo mode and only emails you what it would do. It acts only after you switch it to
Live and confirm your business profile.

= Can I undo a change? =

Yes. Every change is logged with its previous value and can be undone with one click in the Logs and Statistics tabs
or on the BOTS4.me dashboard.

= Where are my BOTS4.me credentials stored? =

deletes them, together with everything else the plugin stored.
