Major free-tier upgrade — six new features, all running locally on your site at no ongoing cost.
AI Visibility Score history — every audit is now saved to a rolling 30-entry history. Dashboard shows a sparkline of your score trend and the difference vs your last audit of the same URL, so you can actually see whether your fixes are paying off.
AI crawler visit counter — a Dashboard panel now shows how many times each AI bot (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bingbot, etc.) has fetched pages from your site in the last 7 days. Proof your AI SEO work is being read.
Sitemap picker on the audit form — choose any URL from your sitemap (WP core, Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO) via dropdown instead of typing. Discover pages you forgot to audit.
Custom llms.txt sections — add your own markdown content (About, Services, FAQ, Locations) that gets prepended to your generated llms.txt above the auto-generated index. Makes your llms.txt unique to your business.
Schema preview — pick any post or page on the Schema tab and see the exact JSON-LD being injected into its HEAD. Transparency for what’s running automatically.
Live robots.txt preview — the AI Crawlers tab now renders the actual robots.txt content visitors and bots see, including rules from other plugins.
Schema dedupe with Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO / SEOPress — auto-detects the active SEO plugin and skips the schema types it already emits, so Google Search Console stops flagging duplicates.
IndexNow integration — every published or updated post pings api.indexnow.org so Bing, Yandex, Naver and Seznam see your changes within seconds. Plugin generates the verification key on activation and serves it at the standard /{key}.txt path automatically.
Live preview cards in Pro tabs — the AI Rewrite, Visibility Tracker, and Competitor Gap tabs now show a realistic “this is what Pro looks like” sample, so you can decide if it’s worth upgrading without having to pay first.
Review nudge — a one-time, dismissible admin notice asking for a WordPress.org review appears after 7 days and at least 3 audits. Dismiss permanently with one click.
Contextual upgrade tracking — upgrade links now carry a ?source= parameter so we can see which features drive Pro signups (no personal data collected, just which tab the user clicked from).
Verified compatible with WordPress 7.0.
0.3.3
Verified compatible with WordPress 7.0. Bumped “Tested up to” header. No code changes vs 0.3.2.
0.3.2
Added background-reading links to the GrowRanko blog (llms.txt guide, ChatGPT citation guide, GEO playbook). No code changes vs 0.3.1.
0.3.1
Refined wp.org listing copy for clarity (“AI SEO for WordPress” hook). No code changes vs 0.3.0.
0.3.0
New WP admin tabs for the existing Pro/Agency external services so paying customers can use them without leaving WordPress:
AI Rewrite tab (Pro) — paste a passage, choose a style (TL;DR-first / shorter sentences / Q&A format), get a citation-ready rewrite back from the external AI Rewrite service.
AI Visibility Tracker tab (Pro / Agency) — manage tracked keywords (max 3 Pro / 15 Agency), trigger an on-demand run, and see a per-keyword × per-LLM mention table for the last 30 days.
Competitor Mention Gap tab (Agency) — enter a competitor domain, see which keywords they get cited for that you do not.
All three tabs are visible to every user with a clear “this is a paid Serviceware feature, here is why it costs money” banner when no license is active. Free users can read what the feature does and click through to the pricing page; the actual API calls are gated server-side.
Daily audit cap display now correctly reflects the active license (20 free / 100 Pro / 500 Agency).
Local features (llms.txt, AI crawler controls, schema injection) remain fully unrestricted regardless of license — unchanged from prior releases.
0.2.1
Plugin URI and “Get a license” buttons updated to the new platform-prefixed URL structure (plugins.growranko.com/wordpress/…).
Tracker service now queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews via OpenRouter + DataForSEO. Perplexity integration deferred to Q3 to keep service costs predictable.
Tracker keyword caps revised on the service side: 3 keywords (Pro), 15 keywords (Agency), 3 keywords (Lifetime). Aligns external service cost with subscription pricing so the service remains sustainable.
0.2.0
Pro/Agency external service endpoints are now wired end-to-end. Plugin sends X-GRSO-License header on every request when a license is active so the server can authorize Pro features.
New external service: AI Rewrite (Gemini-powered) — rewrites a passage into citation-friendly form (TL;DR-first, shorter sentences, or Q&A format). Pro tier.
New external service: Weekly AI Visibility Tracker — the server queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews for your target keywords and logs whether your site is mentioned. Pro tier.
New external service: Competitor mention gap analysis — pick a competitor domain, see which keywords they get cited for that you do not. Agency tier.
0.1.2
Fixed Get Pro / Get a license buttons to point at the correct buy page on plugins.growranko.com instead of an inactive URL.
Fixed llms.txt footer attribution to point at the canonical wp.org plugin page.
0.1.1
Removed the email/OTP gate from the main dashboard so all local features (llms.txt, AI crawler rules, schema injection) are immediately usable on activation, with no registration required.
The optional AI Visibility Score audit (the only server-backed feature) now embeds a small inline email/OTP step inside its own card; everything else stays free, local, and unrestricted.
Clarified copy and installation steps to make the local-vs-service split explicit.
0.1.0
Initial release.
AI Visibility Score with structural and content signals.
llms.txt and llms-full.txt generator.
AI crawler rule management for 13 AI bots via robots.txt.
Auto schema injection: FAQPage, HowTo, Article (free for everyone).
Optional license key for higher service quotas on plugins.growranko.com.
