External services
txt generation, keyword monitoring). The plugin will not function without this service.
What it is and what it is used for:
txt content from your WooCommerce product catalog, and stores tracked keywords and results so the WordPress admin pages can render them.
What data is sent and when:
- On plugin activation: site URL and a randomly generated site key are sent to register the site.
- On the Settings page when you click “Connect to AEO Pulse”: you enter your WooCommerce REST API Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. These credentials, along with the site URL and site key, are sent to https://woo-aeo.vercel.app/api/auth/connect. They are stored on the AEO Pulse cloud service so it can read your product catalog (read-only) for keyword analysis and llms.txt generation. A JWT auth token is returned and stored locally.
- When opening the Keywords or LLMs.txt admin pages: the locally stored JWT is sent to fetch your keyword list and llms.txt content.
- When you add or remove a keyword: the keyword text (or its ID for deletion) is sent.
- When you click “Regenerate” on the LLMs.txt page: the request triggers the cloud service to read your products via the stored Consumer Key/Secret and rebuild the file.
- When the public /llms.txt URL on your site is requested by a visitor: site URL and site key are sent to fetch the cached content.
- During scheduled keyword monitoring (Pro only): tracked keywords are sent to our servers, which then query AI providers and return results.
No customer data, order data, or payment information is ever sent. Product data accessed via the WooCommerce REST API is limited to public-facing fields (name, description, price, URL).
