Free AEO / GEO / SEO optimization plugin. Outputs structured data, meta tags, OGP, and sitemap automatically. AI input support is available in the Pro version.

== Description ==

**onTheHammock AEO&SEO Optimizer** is a comprehensive optimization plugin for WordPress that covers AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and traditional SEO.

As AI-powered search engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) become the primary way people find information, traditional SEO alone is no longer enough. onTheHammock AEO&SEO Optimizer helps your content get discovered and cited by AI search engines.
