-Connects your WordPress site to Moonrank for automated SEO article publishing.
+Track how your WordPress site appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI. Optimize for GEO alongside your traditional SEO.
 
 == Description ==
 
-Moonrank Integration connects your WordPress site to [Moonrank](https://www.moonrank.ai), enabling automated publishing of AI-generated SEO articles directly to your blog.
+**Moonrank is the first WordPress plugin for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)** — track and improve your AI visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, directly from your WordPress dashboard.
 
-**Features:**
+You already have Yoast or Rank Math for Google. Moonrank is the layer they don't cover: how your site appears when someone asks an AI assistant for a recommendation in your niche. LLM SEO, answer engine optimization, AI search visibility — Moonrank handles it all, automatically.
 
-* Secure webhook endpoint for receiving articles from Moonrank
-* Automatic post creation with title, content, slug, excerpt, and featured image
-* SEO meta field support for Yoast SEO, RankMath, Jetpack SEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework (with fallback for other setups)
-* Category and tag auto-creation and assignment
-* Article update and delete support
-* Rate limiting to prevent abuse
-* bcrypt-hashed API keys (plaintext key never stored)
+**Why GEO matters now:**
+Over 50% of B2B buyers start their research in AI chat tools. Most WordPress sites are completely invisible there — not because of bad content, but because they haven't been optimized for how AI models discover and recommend businesses. Moonrank fixes that.
 
-**How it works:**
+= What Moonrank Does =
 
-1. Install and activate this plugin
-2. Go to Settings > Moonrank to generate your integration key
-3. Copy the webhook URL and key into your Moonrank dashboard
-4. Articles published in Moonrank will automatically appear in WordPress
+**AI Search Visibility Tracking**
+Enter your business URL. Moonrank tracks how your WordPress site appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI — and maps your competitive landscape across all AI search engines. Know your GEO score. Know where you stand.
+
+**Daily SEO Content on Autopilot**
+Daily SEO articles, schema markup, citations, and technical fixes published automatically to your WordPress blog — all calibrated to how ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity discover and recommend businesses like yours.
+
+**Technical AI Audit & Optimization**
+Get a full technical AI audit of your WordPress site. Moonrank identifies and fixes the specific signals that keep you invisible in AI-generated answers, then tracks your improvement in real time across every platform.
+
+= Key Features =
+
+* **GEO Score Dashboard** — See your AI visibility score at a glance alongside your traditional SEO metrics
+* **Multi-platform tracking** — Monitor your presence in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews
+* **Automated AI content publishing** — SEO articles and schema markup published to WordPress on autopilot
+* **Technical AI audit** — Full site audit identifying GEO issues: missing entity signals, citation gaps, structured data errors
+* **Competitive AI landscape** — See which competitors appear in AI recommendations for your key topics
+* **Real-time alerts** — Get notified when your AI visibility changes significantly
+* **Works alongside Yoast, Rank Math & AIOSEO** — Moonrank is a complement, not a replacement, to your existing SEO plugin
+* **SEO meta field support** — Compatible with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, and Jetpack SEO
+* **Automatic post creation** — Title, content, slug, excerpt, featured image, and category assigned automatically
+* **Secure webhook endpoint** — bcrypt-hashed API keys; plaintext key never stored
+
+= Who Is This For? =
+
+* **WordPress site owners** who want to show up when buyers ask AI assistants for recommendations
+* **SEO agencies and freelancers** managing multiple client sites who want to offer GEO as a service
+* **Local businesses** that need to appear in AI-powered local search recommendations
+* **E-commerce stores** losing traffic to AI-generated product roundups
+* **SaaS and service companies** invisible in AI tool recommendation queries
+
+= The Difference Between SEO and GEO =
+
+Traditional SEO optimizes for keyword rankings in Google's blue links. **Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)** — also called LLM SEO or answer engine optimization (AEO) — optimizes for how your business appears in AI-generated answers. The signals are different. The content structure is different. The technical requirements are different. Moonrank handles all of it for WordPress.
+
+= How It Works =
+
+1. Install and activate the Moonrank plugin
+2. Go to **Settings > Moonrank** and connect your Moonrank account
+3. Moonrank audits your WordPress site for AI visibility signals
+4. Your GEO score and AI appearance data appear in your dashboard
+5. Automated content and fixes are published to your site on schedule
+6. Track your improvement across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI
+
+= Privacy =
+
+Moonrank registers a REST API webhook endpoint on your WordPress site to receive and publish AI-optimized content. It connects to the Moonrank platform (moonrank.ai) to sync your site data and AI visibility metrics. No personal visitor data is collected or transmitted.
+
+= Free vs Pro =
+
+The free version of Moonrank connects your WordPress site to the Moonrank platform and enables automated content publishing. The **Moonrank Pro** plan ($99/month) unlocks the full GEO dashboard, multi-platform AI tracking, competitive analysis, technical AI audit, and real-time visibility alerts.

 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
@@ -44 +88 @@
 = Do I need a Moonrank account? =
 
-Yes. Visit [moonrank.ai](https://www.moonrank.ai) to sign up for an account.
+Yes. The free plugin connects your WordPress site to Moonrank. You'll need a Moonrank account (free trial available) to access the GEO dashboard and start publishing content. Sign up at moonrank.ai.
 
-= Is the integration secure? =
+= Does this replace Yoast or Rank Math? =
 
-Yes. Integration keys are bcrypt-hashed before storage - the plaintext key is never saved. All communication uses HTTPS. Rate limiting prevents abuse.
+No. Moonrank is built to work alongside your existing SEO plugin. Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO optimize your site for Google. Moonrank optimizes it for AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. They handle different things and work better together.
 
-= Does it work with Yoast SEO or RankMath? =
+= What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)? =
 
-Yes. The plugin automatically detects Yoast SEO, RankMath, Jetpack SEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework and sets the appropriate meta fields (meta description, meta title, focus keyword).
+GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization — the practice of optimizing your content and site structure so that AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews recommend your business when users ask relevant questions. It's also referred to as LLM SEO or answer engine optimization (AEO).
 
-= What happens if I regenerate the key? =
+= Which AI platforms does Moonrank track? =
 
-The old key is immediately invalidated. You will need to update the key in your Moonrank dashboard.
+Moonrank currently tracks your visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Additional platforms are added regularly.
 
-= My security plugin is blocking requests =
+= Is the content published by Moonrank SEO-friendly? =
 
-If you use Wordfence, Sucuri, or similar security plugins, you may need to whitelist the `/wp-json/moonrank/v1/article` endpoint.
+Yes. All content published by Moonrank is optimized for both traditional SEO and GEO simultaneously. It includes structured schema markup, internal linking, and is calibrated to the specific signals that AI models use to discover and recommend content.
 
-== Privacy ==
+= Will this slow down my WordPress site? =
 
-This plugin registers a REST API webhook endpoint on your WordPress site. It receives data from the Moonrank platform when you publish articles. When articles include a featured image URL, the plugin downloads that image to your WordPress media library using WordPress core functions. No other data is sent to external servers. The plugin does not collect analytics or set tracking cookies.
+No. The plugin adds a lightweight REST API endpoint and runs all processing asynchronously. There is no impact on your site's frontend performance or page speed.
+
+= Is my data secure? =
+
+Yes. API keys are bcrypt-hashed — the plaintext key is never stored. The webhook endpoint uses secure token validation on every request.
+
+= Does it work with WooCommerce? =
+
+Yes. Moonrank works with WooCommerce sites and can optimize product pages and category content for AI search visibility.
+
+= Does it support multisite? =
+
+Multisite support is available on Moonrank Pro. Each site in the network can be connected and tracked independently.

 == Changelog ==
