Citation Tracker: Run Check is safe to click multiple times in a row
AI Generate: tighter conversion-focused query suggestions
with no geo modifiers added for software products that serve customers globally
1.6.0
Pro / Citation Tracker: redesigned dashboard. Cleaner three-tab layout, per-engine filtering, a 30-day hit-rate chart with period-over-period change, and a grouped view that shows every query and which AI engine cited you at a glance.
Pro / Citation Tracker: control your own query list. Add queries one at a time, paste a list, or generate buyer-intent suggestions tailored to your site. Remove individual queries or clear everything with one click.
Pro / Citation Tracker: API keys are checked the moment you paste them, so you know straight away if a key is valid and ready to use.
Pro / Citation Tracker: faster, more accurate per-query results with clearer engine status (cited, not cited, error) and direct links to the cited URL plus surrounding context.
Pro / Smart Internal Linking: refined approval flow with side-by-side BEFORE/AFTER preview for every suggested link, plus a real-time progress counter while you approve.
Compatibility and polish: dashboard sidebar version is now correctly read from the plugin, and the admin React bundle ships with stricter hook ordering for reliability.
1.5.98
Pro / Internal Link Builder: page-mode discoverability dramatically improved. The similarity floor now runs AFTER hybrid scoring, so sections with strong entity/heading overlap but weaker raw cosine survive (the comparison-post case where the page-level embedding dilutes specific topic matches).
Pro / Internal Link Builder: multi-query retrieval. Page mode now embeds the target’s title and H2/H3 headings alongside the LOP vector and takes each section’s best match across the pool — sections tightly aligned with one heading are no longer drowned out by the page average.
Pro / Internal Link Builder: structural anchors (title segments split on “vs”/”and”/”or”/”:”, plus H2/H3 headings) are auto-injected into the Stage 2 anchor toolkit so the AI has obvious, on-page noun phrases to choose from in addition to the AI-generated strategic anchors.
1.5.97
Pro / Internal Link Builder: fix root cause of empty suggestions — Section_Index now embeds sections after indexing (previously sections were indexed without embeddings, so retrieval queries filtering by embedding IS NOT NULL returned zero candidates).
Pro / Internal Link Builder: credits are now only consumed when at least one suggestion is returned. Empty results no longer cost credits.
Pro / Internal Link Builder: structured failure reasons (no_indexed_content, no_embeddings, weak_candidates, all_duplicates, no_natural_insertion_point) replace a single generic empty message.
Pro / Internal Link Builder: similarity floor (0.55 page mode / 0.45 query mode) drops weak candidates before any AI call.
Pro / Internal Link Builder: hybrid scoring combines semantic similarity with heading match, entity overlap, anchor-phrase match, and same-category boost.
Pro / Internal Link Builder: posts longer than 2,000 words can now contribute up to 2 link suggestions instead of 1.
Pro / Internal Link Builder: Regenerate now bypasses the Link Opportunity Profile cache for genuinely fresh results.
Pro / Internal Link Builder modal: anchor-hint input, index status row, Rebuild index button, and per-reason recovery actions (Rebuild index / Broaden search) on empty states.
Pro / Internal Link Builder: post saves now schedule embedding via wp-cron so newly published content becomes eligible without a manual rebuild.
Site Health: Organization schema check now reads from asgm_settings.business (the same source of truth used by schema output), fixing the false “No Organization schema configured” warning when the field was filled in.
1.5.96
Free build no longer ships Pro classes (includes/pro/) or the self-hosted updater (class-updater.php). License activation UI now correctly hides on Free installs.
Dashboard Pro Features teaser: added AI Metadata Generator and Smart Internal Linking cards.
