Editor Tools

The sidebar

In the block editor, open the JAT Search Intel panel from the toolbar. It has four tabs:

Tab Fields
SEO title, description, focus keyword, canonical URL, robots, social overrides and a live SERP preview
AEO direct answer and schema type override
GEO AI summary, key topics, content type, intent, audience, expertise and fact-check date
Analysis SEO, AEO and GEO score rings with recommendations, and a button to re-run the analysis

The Post tab of the editor's settings sidebar also has these panels:

Panel What it does
Primary category Choose the main category when a post has more than one (shown only then)
Reading time & last modified Estimated reading time, and Don't update the last-modified date for small fixes
Social preview How the post looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn and X
SEO change history Recent changes to the SEO fields, who made them, and Restore previous values

The classic editor gets the same fields in a meta box below the content. Both write to the same post meta, so a value set in one place is used everywhere. When you save from the block editor, the meta box only writes the fields you actually changed in it.

Passage Coach

Search results and AI answers quote single passages, not whole pages. Passage Coach (in the Post tab of the editor's settings sidebar) checks each block of the post as you write and points to the exact passage to improve:

Finding Why it matters
The intro warms up instead of answering Engines quote the first direct answer they find
A question heading with no direct answer under it The answer should be in the first sentence after the question
A statistic with no source Unsourced numbers are less likely to be cited
A paragraph too long to quote Answer passages are usually 40–60 words
A comparison with no table Tables are easy for engines to extract
A reference to an out-of-date year Signals stale content
An image with no alt text Invisible to search and screen readers
A heading that skips a level Breaks the outline engines use to understand the page
No AI summary Lets you write one right in the panel

Show passage selects and scrolls to the block. For a missing answer or comparison table, Passage Coach can insert a starter paragraph or table for you. It runs on your own server and needs no AI service.

Blocks

Block Output
FAQ Question and answer pairs with FAQPage schema
How To Steps with optional images and HowTo schema
Table of Contents Built from the post's headings, with a chosen maximum depth
Breadcrumbs Theme-aware trail with BreadcrumbList schema
Answer Box A short, highlighted direct answer for featured snippets
Citation An inline source with CreativeWork schema
Preferred Source on Google A button that lets readers add the site as a preferred source in Google, with an optional custom label

Shortcodes

  • [jat_search_intel_html_sitemap post_types="page,post" limit="500"]: an HTML sitemap for visitors.
  • [jat_search_intel_reading_time before="" after="read"]: estimated reading time of the current post, for example "4 min read".
  • [jat_search_intel_preferred_source label=""]: the Preferred Source on Google button.
  • [jat_search_intel_faq] and [jat_search_intel_howto] produce the same markup and schema as the FAQ and How To blocks, for the classic editor. The pre-3.5 names [search_intel_faq] and [search_intel_howto] still work.
