AI Search

AI Search

Tools for being found, read, trusted and cited by search engines and AI assistants.

Readiness

JAT Search Intel → Readiness answers one question: can Google, Bing and AI assistants find, read, trust and cite this site? It gives a 0–100 score from these checks:

• Access: indexing allowed, robots.txt not blocking Googlebot, Bingbot or the AI search crawlers, and no conflicting SEO plugin
• Basics: HTTPS, pretty permalinks, XML sitemap
• Discovery: IndexNow, llms.txt, Markdown copies
• Understanding: structured data, brand profiles and author bios
• Content: meta descriptions and content freshness

Anything the plugin controls gets a Fix button. A fix only changes JAT Search Intel's own settings, never your theme or other plugins.

Refresh Queue

Beside the score, the Refresh Queue lists the pages that have gone longest without an update. When Search Console is connected, it is weighted by real clicks, so the pages worth refreshing first come first.

AI crawler rules

AI Search lets you allow or block 21 AI crawlers in robots.txt, grouped by what they do:

Purpose	Crawlers
Training: collect content to train models	GPTBot, ClaudeBot, GoogleOther, meta-externalagent, Amazonbot, Bytespider, CCBot
AI search: index pages for AI answers that link back	OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Amzn-SearchBot, meta-webindexer, DuckAssistBot
User fetch: open a page because a person asked an assistant about it	ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User, Amzn-User, MistralAI-User, meta-externalfetcher
Opt-out signals: tokens that tell a company not to use your content for AI	Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended

One-click presets:

• Allow AI search, block training (recommended): AI answers can cite and link you, while the training crawlers and opt-out tokens are blocked.
• Allow everything
• Block all AI crawlers

Readiness warns if your rules block the AI search crawlers, because that removes you from AI answers.

Content Signals

Content Signals add a line to the User-agent: * group of robots.txt that states your preferences separately for search, AI answers and AI training:

Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=no

llms.txt

• /llms.txt: a short, machine-readable summary of the site (name, description, key pages and sections) following the llms.txt proposal.
• /llms-full.txt: the same with fuller page content.

Change the output with the jat_search_intel_llms_txt filter, or add a contact address with jat_search_intel_llms_contact_email.

Markdown copies

Every public post and page is also available as clean Markdown at its URL plus .md (for example /my-post.md). The page links to it with <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">, and llms.txt lists it. Password-protected, private and noindex content is never exposed. Change the output with jat_search_intel_markdown.

IndexNow

IndexNow tells Bing about new and updated pages within minutes. Bing powers ChatGPT search and Copilot. The key is generated and served for you, so there's nothing to set up. IndexNow is opt-in because it sends your URLs to Bing (and optionally Yandex and Naver).

AI traffic

AI Search → AI Visibility shows AI crawler visits and the visitors arriving from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and other assistants. Reports → Page Performance puts that next to Search Console clicks, GEO score and freshness for every page, with a suggested next step for each.

AI agents and MCP

On WordPress 6.9 and later, the plugin registers abilities with the WordPress Abilities API. AI agents connected through the REST API or the MCP Adapter can use them. See REST API and Abilities.
