Three steps. One afternoon.

From a fresh install to content AI engines can actually read.

1

Install & Configure

Grab SummitCite from WordPress.org. The Activator runs database migrations automatically.

  • Search “SummitCite” in Plugins → Add New, or upload the ZIP
  • Activate — database tables are created automatically
  • Navigate to SummitCite Settings (5 tabs) for one-time configuration
  • No external API keys needed — uses WordPress 7.0 AI Client API
2

Scan & Optimize

The batch AJAX scanner processes every post and page in parallel and applies optimizations.

  • JSON-LD generated for every post (Article, FAQPage, HowTo)
  • /llms.txt created with 7 cache invalidation hooks
  • robots.txt AI crawler rules injected via RFC-compliant parser
  • Answer Density scored with MD5 change detection
  • Conflict Detector checks 6 SEO plugins for overlap
3

Get Cited

AI engines discover your optimized content. The Health Dashboard tracks progress in real time.

  • GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are logged automatically
  • AEO Health Score updates across 4 components × 25 points
  • Graceful degradation for modules not yet active
  • Pure CSS accessible bar charts in the admin dashboard

What SummitCite writes to your site

Everything is generated on your own server — nothing is sent to a third party.
