OGEEAT vs Yoast SEO – Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI

Your content deserves to be cited — not just indexed. In the AI-search era, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews answer millions of questions before anyone clicks a blue link. The engines decide who gets quoted. Your old SEO plugin was built to rank pages — not to make you citable. OGEEAT is the free, GPL, post-SEO identity, authority and AI-citability layer for WordPress. No premium upsell. No subscription. No external SaaS. Where some tools charge hundreds of euros a month for “AI visibility”, OGEEAT does it for free — and when it uses AI, it uses your own AI. Your keys stay yours. It gives AI engines the three signals classic SEO plugins ignore: WHO you are — E-E-A-T identity, Schema.org Person + Organization (or LocalBusiness) + Article, generated automatically and linked together by @id. WHY you’re credible — Author credentials, expertise, certifications, degrees, years of experience, Reviewed By for YMYL, and site-level Trust Signals (About / Contact / HTTPS). HOW to cite you — Native llms.txt + llms-full.txt, a per-article GEO citability score, Share-with-AI buttons, APA references, and an AI Crawler Firewall. OGEEAT is not an SEO plugin. It’s a post-SEO plugin. No sitemaps, no keyword tools, no redirections. It complements Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, Squirrly or Slim SEO by adding the layer they don’t: AI readiness. When another plugin already handles Open Graph or llms.txt, OGEEAT defers automatically. Zero conflict. New in 2.6 — the AI-connector layer (BYO-LLM) OGEEAT never ships, hosts or charges for an LLM. It routes every AI feature to the AI you already have: Bring your own LLM — On WordPress 7 OGEEAT uses your site’s native AI connector (Settings → AI Connectors) with a one-click approval and zero key stored — it even respects the per-plugin AI-budget consent. On WordPress 6.x, paste your own OpenAI or Anthropic key instead, stored AES-256-CBC encrypted. No key is ever sent to WPFormation; the call goes straight from your site to your provider. A rolling 30-day usage counter shows exactly how much your provider was used. Internal-linking cocon — A local TF-IDF analysis (no AI, no external call) surfaces orphan pages, keyword cannibalization and linking opportunities, exportable to CSV. One on-demand button turns it into a prioritized AI action plan (Quick wins / Cannibalization / Cocon building) using your own connector — cached so repeat clicks don’t re-spend your budget. Inline author E-E-A-T autofill — On the user profile, point OGEEAT at any public “About” URL (or paste text) and your AI pre-fills job title, expertise, credentials, certifications and social links — protected by anti-SSRF blocking and a 5-calls/hour limit. “Generate with AI” in the editor — One-click generation of a meta description (≤155 chars), a voice snippet (≤40 words) and a quotable direct-answer opening (≤50 words), in your content’s language, via your own provider. Google Search Console — Read real queries, pages, clicks, impressions, CTR and position over the last 28 days, through Site Kit’s existing connection (zero OAuth setup) or your own Google Cloud OAuth client — cross-referenced with each page’s GEO score and E-E-A-T completion. “Explain my AI visibility” — One button turns your AI Visibility numbers into a plain-language explanation and concrete next steps, in French or English, via your own connector. Bulk-audit inline quick-edit — Edit a post’s OG title, OG description and llms.txt exclusion straight from the audit table; the status chip updates live, no reload. IndexNow — Opt-in instant notification to IndexNow (Bing, Yandex, Seznam, Naver) when a public post is published or updated, with an auto-generated verification key. Expanded AI-Crawler Firewall — A built-in database of 52 known AI bots (16 traffic-driving search/assistant bots allowed by default, 36 training/scraping bots blocked), enforced via robots.txt and an X-Robots-Tag HTTP header. Read-only Abilities + MCP server — On WordPress 6.9+ OGEEAT registers 4 read-only Abilities (GEO score, E-E-A-T status, AI visibility, orphan content), published as MCP tools on WordPress 7 so AI agents can query your data safely. Everything OGEEAT does Identity & Authority Open Graph meta tags — og:title/description/url/type/site_name/locale/image (with 1200×630 dimensions and article: author/published/modified), emitted on singular content and archives with a full fallback cascade (custom meta → title/excerpt/thumbnail → trimmed content / default image). Twitter / X Cards — summary_large_image cards with per-network title/description/image fields, twitter:site, and a twitter:creator derived from the author’s handle. Organization / LocalBusiness schema — Sitewide JSON-LD with logo, telephone, email, postal address, founding date, tax ID and sameAs; LocalBusiness adds geo-coordinates, opening hours (English and French day codes), price range, area served, currencies and payment methods. Auto-injects a ContactPoint when a Contact page is detected. Person (author) schema — Person JSON-LD from the profile’s job title, expertise (knowsAbout), photo, sameAs, and credentials (certifications + degrees) as EducationalOccupationalCredential, plus a years-of-experience description. Article schema with entity linking — Article JSON-LD linking author and publisher by @id, with image and reviewedBy. Speakable / VEO voice snippet — Adds a SpeakableSpecification for voice assistants (ChatGPT Voice, Gemini Live, Siri); the metabox field shows a live word count and recommends ≤40 words. Reviewed By (YMYL) — Designate a second expert as reviewer; surfaced as schema.org reviewedBy, a second Person schema, and a “Reviewed by…” line in the Author Box. E-E-A-T author profile — 12 dedicated profile fields (job title, expertise, years of experience, certifications, degrees, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, GitHub, YouTube, WordPress.org, website, photo) powering the schema and Author Box, with a completion percentage and a green/orange/red per-field analysis (including your native WordPress bio). Front-end Author Box — E-E-A-T card with photo, bio, up to 3 credential badges, post count, expertise and social links, marked up with Person microdata; configurable position, per-post opt-out, automatic skip on 22 legal/utility page slugs, and an [ogeeat_author] shortcode. WebSite + SearchAction, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, HowTo, VideoObject schemas — Auto-generated where applicable: a sitelinks search box on the home page, breadcrumbs from page ancestors or the primary category, FAQ from /Q&A headings (2+ pairs), HowTo from an ordered step list (English + French “comment”), and VideoObject from the first embedded YouTube/Vimeo. APA references / citations — Opt-in: mark links with the ogeeat-cite class or [ogeeat_cite] shortcode to get numbered in-text superscripts and an APA-lite “References” list (host, label, URL, retrieval date). Shortcodes [ogeeat_references] and [ogeeat_cite]. Trust Signals — Detects About page, Contact page and HTTPS as site-wide E-E-A-T signals (cached 6 hours) with a scored color and a dismissible admin notice when HTTPS is missing. Editor metabox & Gutenberg sidebar — Tabbed Google / Facebook / X-Twitter / LinkedIn live previews with character counters, per-network OG/Twitter override fields, a schema-status panel, an entity-linking map, plus a block-editor sidebar exposing OG fields, GEO score and author completion. Editable fields hide automatically when a detected SEO plugin manages OG. AI Readiness llms.txt & llms-full.txt — Auto-generated plain-text files served at the site root, enriched with organization identity, author credentials and per-post metadata — an AI business card, not a dumb URL list. Configurable post/word limits, cache frequency, taxonomies and custom title/description/footer; meta description read from Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress or The SEO Framework. Per-post llms.txt control — Exclude individual posts (_ogeeat_exclude_llms) or override the AI-facing text with a custom note. llms.txt manual editor — Edit and serve a fully custom llms.txt (up to 500 KB, plain text only) that replaces the auto index, with save / reload-from-auto / reset actions. llms.txt discovery & conflict detection — Emits a discovery tag and automatically stands down when the “Website LLMs.txt” plugin or Yoast SEO 24.9+ already provides llms.txt. GEO citability score — A per-post AI-citability score from 12 content checks (Direct Answer, Structured Lists, FAQ, External Sources, Freshness, Identified Author, Voice Snippet, Statistics & Data, Internal Links, Content Length, OG Image, Organization), each scored green/orange/red with an overall rating; extendable via the ogeeat_geo_checks filter. Share with AI — Front-end buttons that open the article in 6 AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Mistral, Gemini, Grok) with a locale-aware pre-filled prompt and return-tracking; configurable engines, position, label and template. AI-Ready badge — Optional “AI-Ready Content” footer badge. Perfect-score celebration — When a post hits a perfect GEO score, a celebration card with one-click share to X and LinkedIn. AI connector layer (BYO-LLM) 3 providers, one facade — WordPress 7 native connector (zero key), OpenAI, or Anthropic — resolved automatically, overridable by filter. Encrypted key fallback — OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini / gpt-4o) or Anthropic (claude-haiku-4-5 / claude-sonnet-4-6), AES-256-CBC encrypted, with a “Test connection” validator and masked display. Powers author autofill, editor generation, internal-linking action plans, the AI-visibility explainer, and the Abilities/MCP layer — all on your own AI. Control & Insight AI Crawler Firewall — Allow or block 52 known AI bots per-bot, plus custom user-agents; enforced via robots.txt and X-Robots-Tag, with a robots.txt preview and a warning when a physical robots.txt would override WordPress. AI Visibility dashboard — Tracks AI engine referrals, AI crawler visits and llms.txt fetches into a daily-aggregated table; metric cards, a 7/30/90-day trend chart, most-cited pages (with GEO score) and crawler activity. AI Visibility Score (0-100) — A composite directional score from referral traffic, crawl frequency, source diversity, llms.txt fetches and freshness, with a per-signal breakdown and automatic daily data-retention cleanup. Bulk Audit — A sortable table of every published post’s GEO score, E-E-A-T completion, OG status, inbound/outbound links (flagging orphans), author and date — with filtered views (missing OG image, low GEO, incomplete author, stale), inline quick-edit, and CSV export (UTF-8 BOM, RFC 4180). Workflow & onboarding 3-step Setup Wizard — First-activation onboarding for identity, site type and which of the 9 modules to enable. Import from SEO plugin — One-click import of Organization name, logo, phone, email and social profiles from Yoast, Rank Math or AIOSEO — fills only empty fields. Settings export / import — JSON backup of your whole config for migration or restore, plus a preserve-data-on-uninstall toggle. Built-in Documentation — An in-plugin Documentation page covering every module, an architecture table and a 9-entry FAQ. Tabbed Settings hub — A single OGEEAT menu with 4 tabs (Open Graph & Social, E-E-A-T & Organization, AI/GEO & Firewall, AI Connections). Why now AI engines are deciding today who they will cite tomorrow. Sites that surface a real E-E-A-T identity, a citable structure and their own AI layer now compound an advantage that is nearly impossible to catch up later. Sites still optimized for 2019 SEO won’t. OGEEAT gives you that layer — free, GPL, and powered by your own AI. Your keys stay yours. Version française : Votre contenu mérite d’être cité, pas seulement indexé. À l’ère de la recherche par IA, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini et les AI Overviews de Google répondent à des millions de questions avant le moindre clic sur un lien bleu. Ce sont les moteurs qui décident qui est cité. Votre ancienne extension SEO a été conçue pour classer des pages, pas pour vous rendre citable. OGEEAT est la couche gratuite et GPL d’identité, d’autorité et de citabilité IA pour WordPress, à l’ère post-SEO. Aucune version premium. Aucun abonnement. Aucun service externe payant. Là où certaines suites de « visibilité IA » coûtent des centaines d’euros par mois, OGEEAT le fait gratuitement, et quand l’extension utilise l’IA, elle utilise votre propre IA. Vos clés restent chez vous. Elle donne aux moteurs d’IA les trois signaux que les extensions SEO classiques ignorent : QUI vous êtes : identité E-E-A-T, schémas Schema.org Person + Organization (ou LocalBusiness) + Article, générés automatiquement et reliés entre eux par @id. POURQUOI vous êtes crédible : qualifications, expertise, certifications, diplômes, années d’expérience, Reviewed By pour le YMYL, et signaux de confiance au niveau du site (À propos / Contact / HTTPS). COMMENT vous citer : llms.txt + llms-full.txt natifs, un score de citabilité GEO par article, des boutons de partage avec l’IA, des références APA et un firewall robots IA. OGEEAT n’est pas une extension SEO. C’est une extension post-SEO. Pas de plans de site, pas d’outils de mots-clés, pas de redirections. Elle complète Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, Squirrly ou Slim SEO en ajoutant la couche qu’elles ne fournissent pas : la préparation à l’IA. Quand une autre extension gère déjà l’Open Graph ou llms.txt, OGEEAT se met en retrait automatiquement. Aucun conflit. Nouveautés 2.6 : l’étage connecteur IA (BYO-LLM) OGEEAT n’embarque, n’héberge et ne facture jamais de LLM. Chaque fonction IA s’appuie sur l’IA que vous avez déjà : Apportez votre propre LLM : sous WordPress 7, OGEEAT utilise le connecteur IA natif de votre site (Réglages → Connecteurs IA) avec une autorisation en un clic et aucune clé stockée ; il respecte même le consentement de budget IA propre à chaque extension. Sous WordPress 6.x, collez plutôt votre propre clé OpenAI ou Anthropic, stockée chiffrée en AES-256-CBC. Aucune clé n’est jamais envoyée à WPFormation : l’appel part directement de votre site vers votre fournisseur. Un compteur d’usage glissant sur 30 jours indique précisément combien votre fournisseur a été sollicité. Cocon de maillage interne : une analyse TF-IDF locale (sans IA, sans appel externe) fait remonter pages orphelines, cannibalisation de mots-clés et opportunités de maillage, exportables en CSV. Un bouton à la demande la transforme en plan d’action IA priorisé (gains rapides, cannibalisation, construction du cocon) via votre propre connecteur, mis en cache pour que les clics répétés ne reconsomment pas votre budget. Auto-remplissage E-E-A-T de l’auteur ou autrice : sur le profil, pointez OGEEAT vers n’importe quelle URL publique (page « À propos » ou autre, ou collez du texte) et votre IA préremplit titre professionnel, expertise, qualifications, certifications et liens sociaux ; le tout protégé par un blocage anti-SSRF et une limite de 5 appels par heure. « Générer avec l’IA » dans l’éditeur : génération en un clic d’une meta description (≤ 155 caractères), d’un extrait vocal (≤ 40 mots) et d’un paragraphe de réponse directe citable (≤ 50 mots), dans la langue de votre contenu, via votre propre fournisseur. Google Search Console : lisez requêtes, pages, clics, impressions, CTR et position réels sur les 28 derniers jours, via la connexion existante de Site Kit (aucune configuration OAuth) ou votre propre client OAuth Google Cloud, croisés avec le score GEO et le niveau E-E-A-T de chaque page. « Expliquer ma visibilité IA » : un bouton transforme vos chiffres de visibilité IA en une explication en langage clair, avec des actions concrètes, en français ou en anglais, via votre propre connecteur. Édition rapide dans l’audit en masse : modifiez le titre OG, la description OG et l’exclusion llms.txt d’un article directement depuis le tableau d’audit ; l’indicateur de statut se met à jour en direct, sans rechargement.
