SEO Writer for WordPress
Lets approved SEO title, description, canonical and noindex changes land in the SEO plugin you already use.
Is ChatGPT Actually Reading Your Site?
Right now you cannot answer that without digging through raw server logs. This plugin answers it on one screen: which AI crawlers visit, which pages they take, whether your robots.txt blocks them by accident, and which of your own pages are hard to quote. It runs on your own server, logs no human visitors and records no IP addresses.
- Logs GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and more, separately
- Names the exact robots.txt line blocking an AI crawler
- Never logs human visitors, never records an IP address

SEOmatic AI Visibility Integration with SEOmatic
How SEOmatic AI Visibility Works
Once active, the plugin checks each request's user-agent against a list of known AI crawlers. A match is counted; anything else is ignored entirely, with nothing written or sent. It separates the robots from the people: ChatGPT-User means a real person asked ChatGPT something and it fetched your page to answer, which is different from a training crawler, so they show as different rows.
The moment you activate it, it also reads your most recent posts on your own server and flags the ones with no answer up front, no subheadings, or too little content for an assistant to quote.
Connecting a free account is one click with no key to copy. It adds a per-page AI-readiness score, and starts sharing three things with your dashboard: AI-crawler visits (crawler name and page path), visits arriving from an AI assistant (its hostname and the landing path), and searches typed into your own site search. The connect screen says so first, and one checkbox in Settings turns sharing off.
What It Shows You
Every AI Crawler, Counted
Each crawler counted on its own row, with the pages it requested most.
Accidental Blocks, Named
Reads your robots.txt and names the exact line responsible. If you block on purpose, it says so neutrally and leaves you alone.
Pages That Are Hard to Quote
Flags recent posts with no answer up front, no subheadings, or too little content.
Optional llms.txt
Off by default, and the settings screen tells you honestly that the evidence says it probably does not help today.
No Front-End Cost
A normal visitor costs one string comparison; crawler hits are written after your page has already been sent.
Free AI-Readiness Score
With a free account: a per-page score of structure, answer placement and schema, and what is missing on that page.
All of this runs on your own server with no account, and sends nothing anywhere until you connect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this log my visitors?
No. If a request's user-agent does not match a known AI crawler, it is ignored entirely and nothing is written or sent. No human visit is ever recorded, and no IP address is stored or transmitted for anyone, connected or not.
Does /llms.txt actually help me get cited by ChatGPT?
Probably not today, and the plugin says so on the settings screen. Google has stated that Search does not use llms.txt, and a study of 137,000 domains found roughly 97% of these files were never requested by anything. It is included because it costs nothing to serve and some coding tools read it.
Why does it show ChatGPT-User separately from GPTBot?
GPTBot is OpenAI building its index. ChatGPT-User is a live request: somebody asked ChatGPT a question and it fetched your page to answer. The second is closer to real traffic, so it is worth seeing on its own.
I am blocking AI crawlers on purpose. Will this nag me?
No. It reports what your robots.txt says and shows the line responsible, then leaves the decision to you.
What is shared once I connect?
AI-crawler visits (the bot's name and the page path), visits arriving from an AI assistant (its hostname and the landing path), and searches typed into your own site search. Query strings are stripped first, no IP address is ever sent, and one checkbox in Settings turns sharing off while the local log keeps working.
