Tweak: Added a helpful UX hint under the Physical Address field to assist users with GPS coordinate fetching without compromising LocalBusiness Schema accuracy.

1.1.7
UI/UX: Swapped the layout order of the main dashboard cards to display “AI Readiness (GEO)” first, aligning the layout with the post editor Metabox structure.

1.1.6
Fix: Fixed a JSON decoding issue (wp_unslash) that caused FAQ schemas with inner quotes to break and disappear from the dashboard modal and the frontend.
Fix: Improved Yoast SEO integration by properly declaring the @type as FAQPage within the Yoast graph, ensuring Google correctly indexes the FAQ Rich Snippets.
1.1.5

1.1.4
Feature: Added dedicated Elementor widgets (AI Summary, AI Short Answer, Breadcrumbs) to easily design and embed optimized GEO content directly within the Elementor page builder.
Enhancement: Upgraded the ‘llms.txt’ generator to output advanced, semantic Markdown formatting (using blockquotes for Short Answers and structured lists for AI Summaries) to maximize LLM ingestion and readability.
Enhancement: Injected the ‘abstract’ property natively into the global WebPage JSON-LD Schema (and seamlessly into Yoast’s Schema graph) across all post types, complying with official Schema.org standards.

Fix: Updated hardcoded core paths to use includes_url().
Tweak: Renamed shortcodes and JS variables to use a unique 4-character prefix (btwgeo).
