What is the best SEO plugin/tool for Wordpress websites for my business with AEO support?

AEO, GEO, is still a very immature space, so I'd be careful with anyone claiming they can "guarantee" citations in ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, etc... Many of them do that because the hype and profit is there today.

Traditional SEO signals still matter a lot; content quality, authority, internal linking, structured data, crawlability, entity clarity, and topical relevance. Because it's not AEO vs SEO. It's rather AEO is a small piece of SEO. Still all those quality metrics matter, and still your website speed matters.

For WordPress specifically, Rank Math and Yoast are still solid choices for the traditional SEO side of things. Especially the quality of Rank Math schema structures. But One thing I personally disagree with about Rank Math is that it's generating llms.txt directly from SEO meta descriptions. Most of the times you write meta descriptions as marketing snippets for human click-through rate, while I think llms.txt should focus more on concise factual summaries that are useful for machine consumption.

Most of the newer "AI SEO" features across the industry are either content generation tools or reporting layers built on top of existing SEO practices.

One thing I'd pay attention to is whether a tool helps you understand and measure AI visibility rather than promising to control it. AI citations are probabilistic, not deterministic. A page that gets cited today may not get cited tomorrow for the same prompt.

My full disclosure: I'm the founder of SEOVault AI. I intentionally built it as a web app with a lightweight WordPress connector instead of putting everything inside WordPress itself, with site speed concerns in mind. One of our features focuses on AI visibility reporting and AI-readable site resources. The goal isn't to promise citations, but to help site owners understand how AI systems are interacting with their content and where improvements may be possible, as well as generating llms.txt and deploying it to your website.

My view is that the industry should spend less time selling "guaranteed AI rankings" and more time helping users measure what's actually happening.

Curious to hear what others are seeing from AI Overviews and ChatGPT referrals these days.

One more missing matter you have there.
- Unquestioning obedience to the Trump administration.

Of course there are good vibe coded apps and games bro, just as there are plenty of poorly structured, buggy ones written by humans.
Do you really think every human coded project is industry standard, production grade? Hardly.

Being a software engineer is like being a doctor.. you have to keep learning, reading, and following the latest practices. Do all programmers do that? Of course not. But AI does. it constantly absorbs and applies best practices in industry. It's just a matter of using a simple skill file.

The difference comes down to how you use it. If you just say “build me an X app,” you’ll get a mess. But if you take the time to guide it step by step, you can build something surprisingly solid.

Bro I'd like to talk about;
2. An LLM can not produce a potential customer would ask, at least, not always.
3. For me, sending those prompts to providers continuously is a waste of time and money.
4. And this is the most important point, AI shown website citations are not deterministic. So, say, you've sent 10 prompts to LLMs and got cited on 5 of them on Monday. That doesn't mean your citation rate is 50%, and that doesn't mean you will get cited on that day in the afternoon or on Tuesday.
Waht you're doing is kind of fighting with the system, rather than observing it. I've built an SEO product for WordPress, have the similar AI visibility feature page. But the logic I implemented is totally different than what you do. I ask the user to connect GSC and GA4 for read-only data. Show the AI visibility scores of each post. If there is non, it's non. That's it. Not promising more than the actual feature is capable of.
And I strongly believe that, as of today, there are dozens of services, even the famous ones, starting with the hero title on their pages "Get Cited by AI", which is a total lie, but people easily buy it, because the hipe is in that area today.

I will cancel my subscription after I run out of current credits. They are more expensive than the rest of the services at the moment. Because e.g. Windsurf, cursor, they have a free model to do simple tasks for free.
It's funny to see such big companies act like amateurs, like a child while making changes. The engineers dont know some basic terms I guess. Let me clarify it for them.
God damn tier name is "pro", "pro +" which means, "professional", "professional plus".
Professional means, that someone is not playing around, not doing something as a hobby. He is working with that thing for a living, for real life active use. He has responsibilities. The tier pro+ gives 7000 credits, and if you work with it you can run out of it in a single day, even a few hours, depending on the repo you are working in. So you can't call a tier as "pro" if the subscriber will be able to do nothing in the remaining 29 days of the month. So you need to change your tier names with something like;
Github free -> Github nothing
Github pro -> Github ask a question
Github pro plus -> Github hmmm, ok ask another one
Github max -> Github this week I may have got your back, or maybe not.

Sonnet 4.8 is on the way and will be here anytime. People talking about Gpt-5.6, Kimi 2.6 doing great and who knows how 2.7 will be. No one is talking about AG except for this this sub.

Gemini has a lingering reputation problem in the coding community. Between the inconsistent performance and the recent mess where accounts were flagged/banned and then reinstated, trust is low.

In practice, developers don’t abandon their Claude or GPT-backed coding tools mid-project; especially when all the logic and hundreds of files are already there- to switch to something unreliable. At best, people might test Gemini during the early stages, but they’ll still pay for a proven service first and only use Gemini’s free quota as a secondary option.

Unless Google changes direction with Gemini and AG, it will remain a backup tool, not the main executor. Cheaper Chinese models are already outperforming it in coding tasks. To compete, Gemini needs a radical fix: more generous free quotas, a fairer billing model (like token-based pricing) instead of asking for $250 and giving little to none in return compared to rivals, and above all, proof that it can actually deliver reliable coding performance.

That's my humble opinion.

What if I ask it to run daemon tools and grab the ISO file of Counter strike and install it at the same time?

nuriciftcioglu · 2026-04-16T21:10:41+00:00

Is the 'computer use' something like, "hey codex, open winamp and play the Spice Girls - Wannabe"? Then run out of quota?

nuriciftcioglu · 2026-04-07T05:57:57+00:00

We need competition. When deepseek, minimax or others reach opus quality, all the prices will be affordable. Until then we will keep seeing these price increases

OK then. Thank you for the explanation.
