## 常见问题
### What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing web content so AI-powered
answer engines — like ChatGPT Search, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot,
and Claude — can discover, understand, and cite your website when users ask questions.
Unlike traditional SEO (ranking in link lists), AEO focuses on becoming the source
AI systems quote in direct answers.
### How is this different from Yoast SEO or Rank Math?
Yoast and Rank Math are excellent traditional SEO plugins. Answer Engine Optimization
adds a dedicated AEO layer: AI citation tracking, AEO Score per post, AI FAQ generation,
competitor gap analysis for AI visibility, llms.txt for AI crawlers, and schema
types optimized for answer engines. It works alongside them — not as a replacement.
### Is this plugin really 100% free?
Yes. Every feature in this plugin is free with no Pro tier, no feature locks, and
no upsell prompts. AI-powered features use your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic,
or Gemini) so there are no hidden subscription costs from us.
### Do I need an OpenAI or AI API key?
No. Core features — schema markup, AEO scoring, site audit, FAQ management, Open
Graph tags, llms.txt, and local business schema — work completely without any API
key. API keys only unlock AI content rewriting, AI FAQ generation, and content briefs.
### Does this plugin add schema markup / JSON-LD?
Yes. The plugin automatically outputs Article, FAQPage, WebSite, Organization, and
post-specific JSON-LD schema. You can also build custom schema with the visual Schema
Builder supporting 40+ Schema.org types including Product, HowTo, LocalBusiness,
Recipe, and Event.
### How does the FAQ schema help with SEO and AI search?
FAQPage schema is one of the strongest signals for AI answer engines and Google
featured snippets. When you mark up questions and answers with structured data,
AI systems can extract and cite your answers directly. The plugin auto-generates
FAQs with AI and deploys FAQPage schema on every page with FAQ content.
### Will this help me rank in ChatGPT and Perplexity?
The plugin optimizes the signals AI engines use: structured data, clear Q&A format,
direct answers, semantic clarity, and crawlability (llms.txt, AI bot directives).
While no plugin can guarantee citations, sites with strong FAQ schema, high AEO
scores, and comprehensive structured data consistently perform better in AI answer
results.
### Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically generates Product schema
with price, currency, availability (InStock/OutOfStock), aggregate ratings, SKU,
brand, and product images on every product page.
### Does it support voice search optimization?
Yes. The plugin adds direct answer blocks, conversational FAQ formatting, speakable
schema signals, and flags answers over 40 words for voice search trimming — all
designed to improve performance in Google Assistant and voice-based AI queries.
### Can I use this for local SEO and Google Business Profile?
Yes. The Local Business module supports multiple locations with NAP (Name, Address,
Phone), opening hours, geo coordinates, area served, and LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema—
optimized for “near me” and local AI queries.
### Is it compatible with Gutenberg and the Classic Editor?
Yes. The plugin includes a post editor meta box for target questions, direct answers,
and FAQ items. It works with Gutenberg, Classic Editor, and does not conflict with
page builders like Elementor.
### Does it conflict with other SEO plugins?
No. Answer Engine Optimization is designed to complement Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All
in One SEO, and SEOPress. It adds AEO-specific schema, scoring, and analytics without
overriding their core SEO settings.
### What is the AEO Score?
The AEO Score is a proprietary 0–100 rating per post measuring readiness for AI
citation. It evaluates content structure (20%), schema coverage (25%), FAQ presence(
15%), semantic clarity (20%), and citation signals (20%). Scores update automatically
on publish.
### How does the site audit work?
The audit scans all published posts and pages for missing schema, absent FAQs, thin
content, missing direct answers, and configuration gaps. Issues are rated Critical,
Warning, or Opportunity. Most issues can be fixed automatically with one click.
### Is there a REST API for developers?
Yes. Full REST API at `/wp-json/aeo-genius/v1/` with endpoints for schema, AEO scores,
FAQ generation, site audit, analytics, content briefs, bulk schema, and settings.
Application Passwords and cookie auth supported.
### Does it support WP-CLI?
Yes. Commands include `wp aeo audit` (run site audit), `wp aeo score` (calculate
all post scores), and `wp aeo fix ` (auto-fix audit issues).
### What AI crawlers does it manage?
The plugin lets you allow or block GPTBot (OpenAI), PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot (Anthropic),
and Google-Extended individually via robots.txt. It also auto-generates an llms.
txt file for AI content discovery.
### Is the plugin GDPR compliant?
The plugin does not add tracking cookies by default. Content sent to AI APIs is
site content only (not visitor PII). API keys are encrypted in the database. GDPR
export and deletion hooks are registered.
### Can agencies white-label this plugin?
Yes. Agency Tools let you replace the plugin name and logo in WordPress admin, use
the REST API for client dashboards, run bulk operations, and generate performance
reports — all free.
