AI visibility plugin. Schema, llms.txt, and structured SEO fields for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

== Description ==

Dennis GEO is a free WordPress plugin for **Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)** — the practice of structuring your site so AI search engines can read, understand, and cite it.

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews a question, the AI composes an answer from whichever web pages it can parse clearly. If your site lacks the structural signals these models rely on, it gets skipped. Dennis GEO adds those signals — without touching your theme.

= AI Populate (optional, $19) =

Don't want to type meta descriptions for 40 pages? Dennis can do it. The AI Populate service reads your site, drafts every field in your site's language, and populates them directly — live immediately. One-time charge per site, no subscription. Fields you've already filled are left as they are.

= Works alongside Yoast =

Dennis GEO detects Yoast and takes over field by field — if a Dennis field is filled, Dennis handles the output; if it's empty, Yoast keeps control. You can also migrate Yoast data into Dennis GEO with one click.

= Who is Dennis? =

The guy in the logo. Reads your entire website in about two minutes, then fills in every meta description without complaining. Never says no, always happy to help. We don't know how he does it, but we like him.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/dennis-geo/` or install through the WordPress plugin directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to **Dennis GEO → Settings** and fill in your business information.
4. Run the **GEO Audit** to see your baseline score and get recommendations.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is the plugin free? =

Yes. The plugin and every feature in it are free. The optional AI Populate service costs $19 one-time per site but is never required.

= What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)? =

GEO is the practice of structuring a website so AI search engines can accurately read, understand, and cite it. It overlaps with classic SEO but emphasizes structured data, entity clarity, and content that's easy for language models to quote.

= Can I use it if I already have Yoast installed? =

Yes. Dennis GEO works alongside Yoast without conflicts. You don't need to uninstall anything first.

= Does it slow down my site? =

No. All structuring happens at edit-time and output is cached markup. No extra PHP work is added to visitor pageloads.

= Do I need WooCommerce? =

No. Dennis GEO works on any WordPress site — service businesses, blogs, portfolios, shops. WooCommerce gets some bonus product schema but isn't required.

= What does the AI Populate service do? =

It reads your existing content and drafts every SEO and GEO field — titles, descriptions, keyphrases, llms.txt entries, schema types. Fields are populated directly and go live immediately. You can review and edit them anytime in the WordPress editor.

== External services ==

This plugin includes an optional paid service called "AI Populate" ($19, one-time per site). The plugin itself does not connect to any external service during normal operation.

When a user explicitly clicks the "Autopopulate with AI" button and completes payment, the following happens:

1. The user is redirected to **api.dennisgeo.com** to initiate a Stripe checkout session. The site URL and an authentication key are sent.
2. Payment is processed by **Stripe**. No card details are sent to or stored by Dennis GEO.
3. After payment, api.dennisgeo.com reads the text content of the site's published pages via the site's REST API and sends it to an AI workflow for processing.
4. The generated SEO fields (titles, descriptions, keyphrases, schema types, llms.txt entries) are sent back and saved directly into the site's database.

No data is sent without the user explicitly initiating the process. The plugin does not phone home, track users, or contact external servers during normal use.

This service is provided by Upper Eight AB.
