About this plugin
Buyers increasingly ask AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) what to use, and those engines answer with a short list of names. Being on that list starts with being “agent-ready”: technically structured so AI engines and agents can read your pages, understand them, and recommend them.
Citedon makes and keeps your site agent-ready. The Citedon service audits your pages, measures across multiple AI engines whether you are being recommended, and generates the agent-ready structured data (schema) your pages are missing. The Citedon Connector is the part that applies that structured data to your WordPress site and reports back, so the service can verify the change and keep it current as the engines shift.
Citedon sells readiness, a technical state we can measure, apply, and maintain. We prove it with real multi-engine measurement. We never promise that any engine will cite you, because that is controlled by the engines, not by us.
The brain stays on the Citedon service. This plugin is a thin client. It fetches the agent-ready JSON-LD your Citedon project generates for each page, merges it into your site, and reports what it applied.
It does not contain the audit, the measurement, or the schema-generation logic; those run on the Citedon service, which does the substantial work.
How it works
- Connect once with a site key from your Citedon dashboard.
- On each page, the plugin fetches that page’s agent-ready data from the Citedon service.
- It merges the data into your existing schema graph through Yoast or Rank Math, or emits it on its own if no SEO plugin owns the graph.
- It reports what it applied so the Citedon WATCH can re-check and re-apply over time.
Safe by design
- Additive only. It adds missing nodes and properties; it never edits your content or overwrites your existing schema.
- No duplication. If your site already declares a schema type, Citedon wires into it instead of adding a second one.
- Consent-gated. The connector only applies recommendations you have approved in your Citedon dashboard.
- Validated. A pre-publish guard drops any change that would break your schema graph, so bad structured data never reaches a live page.
- Reversible. Deactivate the plugin (or turn off the Enabled toggle) and the augmentation stops. Uninstalling removes every setting it stored.
- Encrypted. The site key is only sent over HTTPS.

External services
com), an external software-as-a-service that performs the agent-readiness audit, multi-engine measurement, and structured-data generation. The plugin is a client for that service and requires a Citedon account and site key to function.
What is sent, and when:
- When you click “Test connection”, or on each page render while enabled: your site address, the address (URL) of the page being rendered, and your Citedon site key, sent to the Citedon service so it can return the agent-ready structured data for that page and verify what was applied.
- When the connector applies or skips a recommendation: a small before/after summary of the page’s schema graph (node counts, schema @types, and @ids) so the service can verify the change. No page body content and no visitor data are sent.
The plugin sends data only to the Citedon service address you configure (which must use HTTPS). It does not load executable code from any external source; it fetches structured data (JSON-LD) only, and validates it before use.
