Generate AI-optimized, citation-ready content and audit your Google Business Profile — without leaving WordPress.

== Description ==

CitePin helps your business get cited by AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI) and win local search. From your WordPress dashboard you can:

* **Generate full articles** — turn a topic/keyword into a complete, AEO-optimized article saved as a draft.
* **Run a Local / Google Business Profile audit** — get a local score, profile breakdown, and prioritized fixes.

Generated content is created as a standard WordPress draft, so it inherits your theme's styling automatically.

A free CitePin account is required (a Pro plan is required for content generation and audits). Get an API key at https://app.citepin.com → Account → API key.

== External services ==

This plugin connects to the CitePin API (https://app.citepin.com) to generate content and run audits. This is required for the plugin to function.

* **What is sent, and when:** When you click "Generate" the plugin sends the topic/keyword, content type, audience, and your site URL. When you click "Run audit" it sends the business name, city, category, and your site URL. Requests are sent only when you take those actions, and are authenticated with the API key you enter in Settings.
* **Service provider:** CitePin (Need A Name Media).
