Visibility Kit SEO

Changelog

2.1.0

  • Server-side bot classification: the bot taxonomy is now sourced from the Visibility Kit API and cached for 24 hours via a transient. New bots and reclassifications take effect without a plugin update.
  • Telemetry payloads now include the raw User-Agent string. The server is the source of truth for bot name and bot type.
  • Bundled fallback list still ships so detection keeps working when the API is unreachable.

2.0.0

  • Plugin repurposed as a dedicated AI visibility tracking plugin.
  • Added: Connect by email to Visibility Kit and begin tracking in seconds.
  • Added: In-admin “AI Search Traffic” dashboard showing ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity referral sessions.
  • Added: Server-side AI bot detection across 20+ known crawlers (search / user-action / training taxonomies).
  • Added: vk.js tracking script loader for client-side referral detection.
  • Added: Domain takeover flow when reconnecting under a different email.
  • Added: Admin-wide announcement banner with per-user dismiss.
  • Removed: SEO meta box, title templating, canonical / OG / robots postmeta (use Rank Math or Yoast instead).
  • Removed: XML sitemap generator (WordPress core sitemaps cover this since 5.5).
  • Removed: JSON-LD structured data (Organization, LocalBusiness, Article, Person, FAQPage).
  • Removed: [viskit_faq] FAQ accordion shortcode.

1.1.0

  • Initial release with SEO meta box, XML sitemap, JSON-LD structured data, and FAQ accordion shortcode.
