About this plugin
Fardo AI Visibility makes your WordPress site easy for AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, and others) to understand, and lets you monitor your brand’s visibility in AI engines from inside wp-admin.
What the plugin does locally
- AI Feed (opt-in, 5 files served from your site root):
- /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt — short and full Markdown maps of your site for LLMs, following the llmstxt.org standard.
- /ai-feed.jsonld — JSON-LD feed with Organization, WebSite and an ItemList of recent content.
- /ai-overview.html — bare-HTML summary of your brand and content.
- /sitemap-ai.xml — AI-specific sitemap (home + pages + posts, ordered by modification).
- /robots.txt — extension that explicitly allows known AI crawlers and references the AI sitemap.
- Bot Traffic tracking: detects visits from 24 known AI/LLM crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, etc.) via User-Agent and logs them to a custom table, with a sparkline view of the last 30 days inside wp-admin.
- Schema.org JSON-LD: injects Organization and WebSite JSON-LD in the <head> of your front-end (toggleable).
All five AI Feed files are opt-in: nothing is served at any public URL until you turn it on from the plugin’s settings.
What the plugin does with the Fardo platform (optional, requires connecting an account)
If you choose to connect a Fardo account through the OAuth flow inside the plugin, you also get:
- Hub: your AI Score (0–100) with breakdown by AEO, GEO and LLMO, and a hero chart with the historical evolution of your score.
- Rankings: competitive ranking by industry, plus a comparison of your brand against the competitors you defined during onboarding.
- AI Feed (custom): regenerate the five AI Feed files with content tailored to your brand (uses AI research over your site and public sources) and edit any file inline from wp-admin.
- Company configuration: edit the brand info (name, industry, value proposition, competitors, keywords) that Fardo uses to compute your score.
Connecting an account is completely optional. Without an account, the plugin still serves the AI Feed and tracks bot traffic.
External services
This plugin can communicate with two external services operated by Fardo. No data leaves your site unless you trigger the connection or features that require them.
- Fardo platform ( https://platform-fardo.com ) — Used when you click “Connect with Fardo” in Settings (OAuth consent), when the plugin requests a new AI analysis on your behalf, or when the plugin polls the status of that analysis. Data sent: the brand information you fill in (brand name, industry, market, target audience, value proposition, competitors, keywords) and the domain of your site. Privacy policy and terms: https://platform-fardo.com.
- Fardo API gateway — Used to fetch your AI Score, the industry ranking, the hero chart, and to trigger the optional custom AI Feed generation. Authenticated requests use an OAuth access token that the plugin stores encrypted in your database and never exposes to the browser.
The plugin does not send any data to either service until you explicitly connect an account or toggle a feature that requires the connection.
