OptAEO – AI Visibility for WooCommerce

Shoppers now ask AI what to buy. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini recommend products directly — and they choose by reading your product data. If yours is thin or missing the details they look for, you get left out.

OptAEO scans your whole catalog, scores every product against a 16-point AI-visibility model, and fixes what’s holding each one back. This plugin connects your store and puts the results live — clean structured data plus the discovery files AI assistants read first.

• AI-written product descriptions — turns thin or missing copy into rich descriptions built from your product’s title, brand and images.
• Finds what’s missing — adds missing barcodes (GTINs), the SEO titles and descriptions WooCommerce leaves blank, and AI-ready FAQs that show up in shopping-assistant answers.
• One clean, authoritative product for AI — replaces the thin, clashing data WooCommerce, Yoast and Rank Math emit with a single trusted source.
• Stops silent Google Shopping errors — flags the Google Merchant Center issues that quietly kill your Shopping ads.
• Gets your store found by AI — publishes the live catalogue and access rules AI shopping assistants read first, right at your store root.
• A score you can act on — rates every product for AI visibility and tracks it climbing across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini.

Free to start at optaeo.ai. That’s where your catalog is scanned, scored and fixed; this plugin is the delivery layer that puts the results live on your store. Without a connected account it stays inactive — it shows nothing and sends nothing.

External services

This plugin connects to the OptAEO API (https://optaeo.ai), the service that computes the structured data and discovery files it renders. It is required for every feature of this plugin — nothing is rendered without it.

What is sent, and when:

• GET https://optaeo.ai/api/plugin/product — requested when a product page is viewed (cached for 5 minutes). Sends: your OptAEO site token (in a request header) and the WooCommerce product ID being viewed. Returns the schema.org JSON-LD, meta title and meta description for that product.
• GET https://optaeo.ai/api/plugin/protocol — requested when /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, /agents.md or /agents.txt is fetched on your store (cached for 5 minutes). Sends: your OptAEO site token (in a request header) and the file type requested. Returns the discovery/policy file content.

No customer data, order data, visitor IPs, or analytics are ever sent to OptAEO by this plugin. The site token identifies your store to your own OptAEO account. The plugin also exposes one inbound REST route (optaeo/v1/flush, token-authenticated) that OptAEO calls after you apply a fix, so your storefront updates immediately instead of after the cache window.
