Publish AI-generated blog posts and landing pages from Minineo directly to WordPress, securely, in one click.

== Description ==

**Minineo is an all-in-one AI content, SEO, and publishing platform.** It helps you rank on Google and get cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews — without switching between a dozen tools.

Minineo Publisher is the official WordPress plugin that connects your site to the Minineo platform. Once connected, you can publish AI-generated blog posts, SEO pages, and landing pages from Minineo directly to your WordPress site — without ever leaving the Minineo dashboard.

= What Minineo Does =

* **Blog Article Generator** — Generate high-ranking SEO blog posts in seconds using advanced AI and publish them directly to WordPress.
* **AI Page Builder** — Create beautiful landing pages and SEO sub-pages automatically and publish to WordPress in one click.
* **Website Audit** — Scan your site for SEO issues, content gaps, AI visibility gaps, and discover what to publish next.
* **GEO Score** — See how visible your site is to AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews alongside your traditional SEO score.
* **Social Content Generator** — Transform your ideas into LinkedIn and X posts, scheduled and published from one dashboard.
* **Analytics** — Track performance with Google Analytics and Google Search Console integration.

= What This Plugin Does =

The plugin creates a secure, token-based connection between your WordPress site and your Minineo account. It replaces the need to share your WordPress admin username or password with any third-party service.

* Connects your WordPress site to Minineo using a one-time pairing code
* Publishes blog posts and pages sent from Minineo into WordPress
* Sideloads remote images into your WordPress media library during publishing
* Sets the first published image as the featured image automatically
* Fetches available page templates so Minineo can match your site's layout
* Lets you disconnect and rotate access cleanly at any time

= Who Is This For? =

* **Solo founders and indie marketers** who want to create and publish SEO content without hiring a team
* **Growth and performance teams** who need a scalable content pipeline connected directly to WordPress
* **Agencies and marketing consultants** managing multiple WordPress sites and content workflows

= How the Connection Works =

No passwords are shared. The plugin generates a short-lived pairing code that is exchanged with Minineo to create a site-specific API token. That token is stored securely in WordPress and used only to receive and publish content from your Minineo account.
