About this plugin
AEO Bob Lite brings Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) to WordPress – completely free! As AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity become primary information sources, traditional SEO alone isn’t enough. AEO Bob Lite helps you optimize for both search engines AND AI systems.
Why AEO Matters
- 100+ million daily users rely on AI assistants for answers
- AI recommendations are replacing traditional search results
- Content not optimized for AI becomes invisible to millions
- Dual optimization needed: Google rankings AND AI discoverability
Features
Free AEO & SEO Scoring
* Instant AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) scores
* Traditional SEO scoring
* “Score details” in the editor: points per factor, with when and how the post was scored
* Scores update when you save, and a score is never shown for content that has since changed
AI Suggestions with One-Click Apply (optional, your own OpenAI key)
* Up to 3 rewrites, 3 heading suggestions and 3 FAQs per request
* Tick the ones you want and apply them; each rewrite replaces the sentence it improves
* For editors and administrators (they use the site’s OpenAI key)
txt
txt at your site root (site name, description, key pages and posts with short descriptions)
* Home page first, then your menu pages; shop, cart, checkout, account, thank-you and login pages and noindex pages are left out
* Uses your SEO plugin’s meta description (All in One SEO, Yoast, Rank Math) when there is one
txt
txt made by you or another plugin is never replaced without asking
Post Schema (JSON-LD)
* One click on Generate in the AEO BOB Score box adds Article and FAQPage schema to the post
* FAQPage uses the real questions and answers from your FAQ section, and updates when you save the post
* Works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress: with one of them active, only the FAQPage is added, so nothing is duplicated
* The AEO score counts it under Schema markup

External Services
This plugin connects to one external service, the OpenAI API, and only when you use an AI feature or the Settings page with an API key saved. The core ANALYZE feature (AEO/SEO scoring) and Analyze Voice run entirely on your WordPress server with no external calls.
OpenAI API
com/v1/models
Model: the model chosen under AEO Bob → Settings → Model; “Recommended” (the default) is a current low-cost model available on your account. Lite uses no other provider.
Used for: Generating AI content and FAQ suggestions, checking that your API key works, and listing the models on your account.
Data sent:
* “Get AI Suggestions”: the post title, the post content text, and a short writing-style summary computed locally from that content.
* “Test Connection” (Settings): your API key and the fixed test message “Say OK”. No post content.
* Model list (Settings): your API key only. No post content.
No personal data about you or your visitors is sent.
When sent: When you click “Get AI Suggestions”, “Test Connection” or “Refresh Models”, and when you open the Settings page with an API key saved and the model list is more than 24 hours old (one request for the list). Never from your site’s front end.
Requires: Your own OpenAI API key, entered in AEO Bob → Settings. The plugin developer never receives or stores your key.
