Legacy plugins check whether your *exact* keyword string appears — enough times, in enough places. So writers twist good sentences to satisfy a checker instead of a human. Meanwhile Google, and every AI answer engine, moved on. ****** Live intent score Focus keyword men’s fitness over 50 Legacy plugin Your copy says *“fitness for men over 50”*. Exact phrase **not found**. Score docked. 41 Intent SEO Same meaning, reworded. Intent **matched** — reads naturally, ranks on relevance. 94 Same sentence · Two scores · One of them made you rewrite good copy 01 ### Exact-match scoring makes content robotic “Search engine optimization” earns nothing on a post about “on-page SEO.” Same intent, different words — penalised. So people keyword-stuff to turn the dial green. 02 ### Google reads intent, not strings Google’s own “close variants” match synonyms, plurals and reworded phrasings as the same query. The plugins scoring you never caught up to how Google actually ranks. 03 ### AI answer boxes are the new front page ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews now answer the query before anyone clicks. Nothing in your SEO plugin tells you whether your page is even *eligible* to be cited. What Intent SEO does ## It scores, fixes, builds and links — right in your editor. It runs right where you write — scoring as you type, then doing the work for you. Everything below is in the plugin today. Intent score ### Scored on intent, not exact match Synonyms and reworded phrasing count when the meaning matches. You write for the reader; the score follows. - Title, meta, headings, slug, content, links, images - Search-intent check — warns when a buyer keyword sits on an informational page - Readability + human-voice sub-scores alongside AEO ### An AI citation-readiness score How likely ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and [Google AI Overviews](https://anthonyhayes.io/hub/aeo/get-cited-by-google-ai-overviews/) are to extract and quote your page — scored on the signals they actually reward. - Direct-answer-up-top, question headings, answer blocks - **Extractable-chunk check** — tuned to the ~500-token blocks AI search retrieves - **One-click FAQ / HowTo schema**, built from your page and inserted for you - Author + freshness trust signals New · reverse-engineer the answer box ### Read the live Google AI Overview — then match it When Google shows an AI Overview for your keyword, Intent SEO reads it: the format it chose, the sources it cited, and the exact entities it emphasised. Then it tells you what your page is missing to become the citation. Format to match: steps You cover: pipeline management Missing: best-in-class CRM Missing: free trial Cited sources: 6 Fix, don’t just flag ### An AI optimizer that applies the fixes Every red flag has a **“Do it for me”** button — the AI rewrites or expands that part of your article, then writes it straight into the editor, in *your* voice. Undo with one click. - **Matches your writing voice** — paste a sample once, every rewrite sounds like you - Rewrite title, meta and opening — Apply, or Apply all - Humanize: strip em dashes, filler and AI vocabulary - Add a TL;DR answer + image prompts, in the right spot Competitive ### See what’s actually ranking Pulls the real Google results — and the AI Overview — then shows your **topic-coverage %**, the entities you’re missing ranked by importance, and a depth benchmark. Then writes the gaps straight into your draft. - Winning content type vs yours, with advice - Entities you cover vs what’s missing - Credible sources + citable stats, linked in place Off-page, done for you ### Builds the asset that earns the link Most posts have nothing worth linking to. The **Linkability** score flags that — then builds a real interactive tool (calculator, quiz, checker) for your topic and drops it straight into the post. - A self-contained widget you preview before publishing - The off-page half of SEO — automated, not outsourced Internal links ### Maintains your internal links The job nobody keeps up with. A site-wide dashboard maps every post, finds your **orphans**, and shows which posts should link to which. - “Suggest internal links” drops the link onto the right words, in-editor - There are + plugins that only do this — it’s built in Whole-site view ### Shows you the whole site, weakest-first The Content Audit dashboard scores every published post and ranks them, so you know exactly which 10 to fix first — no guessing, no AI cost, all in your browser. - Every post scored and ranked, weakest-first - Free — runs on-device, no API spend How it works ## Keyword in, citation-ready page out — without leaving the editor 1Your keyword 2Scored on meaning 3AI Overview read 4Fixes applied 1 ### Set your keyword Type it into the panel in the editor. No exact-match gymnastics — write the sentence the way a human would say it. 2 ### Get scored on intent Synonyms and reworded phrasing count when the meaning matches, live as you type — plus readability, human voice and an AI citation-readiness score. 3 ### Read the answer box Intent SEO reads Google’s live AI Overview for that keyword — the format it chose, the sources it cited, the entities it emphasised — and tells you what your page is missing. 4 ### Apply the fixes Bring your own key and it rewrites the weak spots, then writes them straight into the editor. Undoable in one click. Write for the reader. Let the score follow. Why it’s built to keep ## Owned, not rented. Works where you write ### Gutenberg + Classic A block-editor sidebar and a Classic meta box, scoring live. Runs happily alongside RankMath or Yoast. No monthly AI bill ### Bring your own key The live score is free and on-device. AI features run on your own OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key — stored on your server, never in the browser. Always current ### Updates included Self-hosted auto-updates land new versions straight in your dashboard while you are subscribed — no marketplace, no version hunting. Honest scope ### It’s the best content scorer — not a RankMath replacement. Intent SEO grades the writing: on-page relevance, AI-citation readiness and human voice. Keep RankMath or Yoast for sitemaps, schema, redirects and social — and run Intent SEO alongside them for the content itself. We’d rather tell you that than oversell it. Who it’s for ## Built for people who publish on purpose. ### Content-led site owners You live in the editor and you’re tired of rewriting good sentences to please an exact-match dial. ### SEOs chasing AI visibility You want to know if your page is eligible for an AI Overview citation — and exactly what to change if it isn’t. ### Agencies & freelancers One tool that scores intent, readies content for answer engines, and does the fixes — across every client site. Pricing ## One tool. As many sites as you run.

No — and it’s not trying to. Intent SEO is a content scorer graded on intent and AI-citation readiness. Keep RankMath or Yoast for sitemaps, schema, redirects and social, and run both. ### Do I need an AI key? Not for the live score — that’s fully on-device and free. A key only powers the optional AI features: the one-click fixes, the intent judgement and the competitive analysis. You bring your own OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key. ### Where is my AI key stored? On your own site, in the database — never in the browser. Every AI call runs from your server. ### Is this one-time or a subscription? It is a monthly subscription. Pick the plan that matches how many sites you run — 10, 25 or 50 — pay monthly, and cancel anytime. Updates are included while you are subscribed, and because you bring your own AI key there are no metered AI charges on top. ### How many sites can I use it on? Depends on your plan: the 10-site plan covers 10 sites, the 25-site plan covers 25, and the 50-site plan covers 50. Every plan is the full plugin — the site count is the only difference. ### Gutenberg or Classic editor? Both. A block-editor sidebar and a Classic meta box ship in the same plugin — only one loads per screen, automatically. ### Do I need to be a good writer? No — paste a sample of your writing in Settings once, then let “Do it for me” write in your style. Every rewrite, TL;DR, title and expansion matches your tone, not generic AI slop. ### Will the schema and interactive tool it inserts actually work? Yes. Verify the schema in Google’s Rich Results Test, and the interactive tool is a self-contained widget you preview before you publish. Nothing goes live until you approve it. AH Who built it ### Anthony Hayes I built Intent SEO because I was sick of watching good writers dumb down their copy to satisfy an exact-match score — right as AI answer engines started rewarding the opposite. It runs on my own sites first. What you’re buying is the tool I wanted to exist, sharpened in public and shipped with continuous updates. ## Write for humans. Get cited by machines. Score by intent, ready your content for the answer box — then let it do the fixes, build the linkable tool, and wire up your internal links.
