It just isn’t structured the way AI search engines want to read it. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude don’t return ten blue links. They read a page, lift the answer, and cite a source. If your content buries the answer three paragraphs down, or wanders before it gets to the point, it gets skipped – no matter how good it is or how well it ranks on Google. Polymetric AI Search Optimizer fixes that without making you start over. It adds a panel to the WordPress block editor that restructures the post you’re editing for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), so the engines can find the answer, understand it, and quote you. It takes your actual words and reorganizes them – clear structure, key-takeaway summaries, featured-snippet answer blocks, the formats AI systems pull from – while preserving your voice, your specifics, and every single link including affiliate and UTM parameters. You bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key – a typical 1,500-word rewrite costs roughly 2 to 8 cents. No markup, no middleman: your content goes straight to the provider you choose, and your key is stored encrypted on your own site. #### How it works 1. Open any post in the WordPress editor. 2. Open the Polymetric AI Search Optimizer sidebar and pick a preset, or choose individual tactics. 3. Click Rewrite. The plugin sends your content to your chosen AI model and gets back an optimized version. 4. Review the full rewrite in the preview pane. Apply it, or discard it. Nothing changes until you say so, and your previous version is saved as a WordPress revision. No content is published automatically. Ever. You are always the editor. #### What makes it different * It rewrites what you have. Not a content generator. Your research, your numbers, your opinions – kept. * It protects your voice. The optimizer matches your existing tone, vocabulary, and rhythm instead of flattening everything into the same AI monotone. * It guards your keywords. Add the phrases that must survive verbatim, and it reads your Yoast SEO or RankMath focus keyword automatically and locks it too – your exact target terms come through the rewrite word for word. * It never drops a link. Every href, including affiliate links and tracking parameters, survives the rewrite verbatim. * It shows you everything first. Full preview before anything touches your post. One click to undo via revisions. * You control the keys. Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key. No markup on your API usage, no middleman server holding your content. #### What it does NOT do * No content generation from nothing – it only restructures content you already have. * No fact-invention or claim-fabrication – numbers, percentages, dates, prices, and names are preserved, never generalized away. * No automatic publishing – you preview and apply. #### The optimization tactics Pick a preset or toggle these tactics individually: * Optimize the heading hierarchy (your H1 post title is left untouched) * Add bullets and lists * Add comparison tables where the data supports them * Add a key-takeaways summary up top * Add a 40-60 word featured-snippet answer block for AI Overviews and position- zero * Add a linked table of contents * Add HowTo steps with HowTo JSON-LD schema for procedural content * Tighten paragraphs (remove filler, no meaning lost) #### Presets Not sure where to start? Pick a preset: * Quick polish – structure only, keeps your voice. The safe default. * Custom – check the exact tactics you want, ignore the rest. #### Built to fit your existing stack * Reads your focus keyword straight from Yoast SEO or RankMath and loads it as a protected phrase, preserved verbatim through the rewrite. * Detects page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, WPBakery, and more) and warns you before touching content it shouldn’t. * Pure block-editor sidebar. Vanilla JavaScript, zero jQuery. * Long posts are handled in sections automatically, splitting at heading boundaries so a few-thousand-word guide optimizes without timing out. * Images, figures, and source tables are preserved in place. #### Free and Pro The free plugin does the core job, on your own Anthropic or OpenAI key: * All eight tactics: headings, bullets, comparison tables, key takeaways, featured- snippet block, table of contents, how-to steps with schema, and tighten paragraphs * Preview-and-apply with full revision safety * Protects your Yoast/RankMath focus keyword automatically, plus any keywords you add yourself * Bring-your-own-key for Anthropic or OpenAI Pro (sold separately at polymetriclabs.com) adds the tactics that rewrite your words for citation, plus the controls to aim them: * Rewrite tactics: lead-with-answer openers, simpler language, full Q&A reformatting, FAQ sections with FAQPage schema, and inline key-term definitions * Additional presets: Full AI optimization and Rewrite as Q&A * AI keyword detection – automatically finds the entities and key terms worth protecting * A brand-voice override applied to every rewrite * Per-post custom instructions – content briefs, goals, and do-not-edit notes, saved with each post * God Mode – bulk optimize posts straight from the posts list A hosted plan is also planned: managed API access (no key of your own needed) and auto-optimization on publish. For full details and documentation, visit [polymetriclabs.com/ai-search-optimizer](https://polymetriclabs.com/ai-search-optimizer/). #### Source code The editor sidebar’s minified bundle in `assets/sidebar/build/` is compiled with [@wordpress/scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts) from the human-readable React and SCSS source in `assets/sidebar/src/`, which is included in this package. To rebuild it, run `npm install` then `npm run build` from the plugin directory. #### Third-Party Services To rewrite a post, this plugin sends its content to an external AI provider. This happens only when you click Rewrite – never in the background, on page load, or on a schedule. Content goes directly from your site to the provider you select in Settings, using your own API key, and is not routed through any intermediary server. **Anthropic (Claude)** Post content is sent to the Anthropic Messages API (api. anthropic.com) for rewriting. * Service: [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/) * Terms of Service: [https://www.anthropic.com/terms](https://www.anthropic.com/terms) * Privacy Policy: [https://www.anthropic.com/privacy](https://www.anthropic.com/privacy) **OpenAI (GPT)** Post content is sent to the OpenAI Chat Completions API (api.openai. com) for rewriting. * Service: [OpenAI](https://openai.com/) * Terms of Use: [https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use) * Privacy Policy: [https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy) Your API key is stored encrypted in your WordPress database using AES-256-GCM and is sent only to the provider you selected. ## Screenshots [⌊The sidebar in the block editor - pick a preset and hit Rewrite.⌉⌊The sidebar in the block editor - pick a preset and hit Rewrite.⌉[ The sidebar in the block editor – pick a preset and hit Rewrite.

GEO is the practice of structuring content so AI-powered search engines – ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude – can read it, understand it, and cite it in their generated answers. It’s the AI-era counterpart to traditional SEO. ### What is answer engine optimization (AEO)? AEO is the practice of formatting content so answer engines return it directly – as a featured snippet, a voice answer, or a cited line in an AI Overview. In practice that means concise answer blocks, clear structure, and machine-readable markup. This plugin supports it directly: it adds featured-snippet answer blocks, HowTo schema for procedural content, and the scannable structure answer engines lift cleanly. ### How do I get my content cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity? Lead with the answer, structure clearly, and make the content easy to extract. AI systems favor pages that state a self-contained answer near the top, use clean heading hierarchy, and break information into scannable blocks and tables. This plugin applies these patterns to posts you already have. ### Does this help with Google AI Overviews? Yes. The same structural signals that help you get cited by chatbots help you appear in Google AI Overviews: clear answer blocks, proper headings, HowTo schema, and concise summary sections. The plugin’s tactics target exactly these. ### Do I need an API key? Yes. Get a key from [Anthropic](https://console.anthropic.com/) (Claude) or [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)( GPT) and paste it into Settings. The key is stored encrypted on your site. A hosted version that includes API access – no key of your own required – is on the way. ### How much do the API calls cost? A typical rewrite of a 1,500-word post costs roughly $0.02-0.05 with Anthropic or $0.03-0.08 with OpenAI. You pay the provider directly. ### What AI models does it use? It uses current high-quality models from Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (GPT) for rewrites. You pick the provider in Settings. ### Will it change my writing voice? No, that’s the point. The optimizer is instructed to match your existing tone, vocabulary, and rhythm. The Quick polish preset sticks to structure – it tightens and reorganizes but won’t reword your sentences into different language. ### Will it overwrite my post? Only when you click “Apply to post” in the preview modal. The previous content is preserved as a WordPress revision (Editor > Revisions), so you can roll back any time. You can also enable “Skip preview” in Settings to apply directly. ### What happens to affiliate links and tracking parameters? They pass through verbatim. Preserving every link, including utm_*, ref, and affiliate IDs, is a hard rule in the optimization prompt. Links come back exactly as they went in. ### Does it work with Yoast or RankMath? Yes. It reads focus keywords from Yoast SEO and RankMath and loads them as protected phrases automatically, so your exact target terms survive the rewrite verbatim. ### Can it break my page-builder layouts? The plugin detects common page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, WPBakery, Brizy, and more) and warns you before optimizing content built with them. It’s designed for the WordPress block and classic editors. ### Does it work on long posts? Yes. Long posts are split into sections at heading boundaries and optimized piece by piece, then stitched back together, so even a few-thousand-word guide processes without timing out. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Polymetric AI Search Optimizer: GEO & AEO Content Optimization” is open source software.
