GAISEO – AI SEO Starter analyzes websites for AI-search visibility, checking structured data, content relevance, and AI-SEO readiness. The plugin runs fully locally unless the user connects external APIs, and is built for transparency and privacy.

GAISEO is your essential assistant for the new era of search. As AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) become the primary way users discover information, ensuring your website is structured for machine readability is critical.

Why AI SEO Matters:
– 40% of Google searches now use AI-powered features
– LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini crawl websites for training data
– Traditional SEO focuses on human users, but AI SEO optimizes for machine understanding
– Proper structured data and semantic HTML improve AI comprehension

This plugin runs a comprehensive suite of 40+ checks across 12 categories, analyzing everything from semantic HTML structure and structured data (Schema.org) to E-E-A-T signals and content freshness.
