GeoLens – AI Search Schema Checker

Registre de canvis

1.13.7

• The Free plan now scans your whole site (homepage plus up to 30 pages), not just the homepage.
• While a free trial is running, the dashboard and the Plans page show when it ends and that your site then moves to the Free plan. Nothing is charged.
• Plans page: the subscription status is translated, and no status badge is shown on the Free plan.
• Plans page: if your admin language is not Chinese, a note explains that paid plans launch in Taiwan first and that the pricing page is in Traditional Chinese.

1.13.6

• Plans page: the “Current Plan” label no longer sticks out past the edge of its card.

1.13.5

• Dates on the dashboard (scan quota reset, last scan, AI Citation) now follow your WordPress language instead of the browser’s.
• Readme: the first screenshot caption now describes the current dashboard.

1.13.4

• Admin labels are now translatable: operating mode, issue severity, score dimensions and check names, the site-average and benchmark lines, the Schema injection status and the plan period. They were hard-coded in Traditional Chinese, so sites in other languages saw Chinese labels.
• Settings: the free-plan feature list shows the AI Affinity Score™ name in the site’s language.
• Internal: the server log line for an unreadable API key is now in English.
• Translation template (.pot) regenerated; removed strings left over from the in-plugin checkout removed in 1.13.0.

1.13.3

• Dashboard: removed the upgrade banner. Paid plans cannot be purchased yet, so it pointed to something that was not available.
• The “scan quota used” message no longer suggests upgrading; it says when the quota resets.
• Readme: the feature list now matches what the plugin does today.
• Internal: the Schema cache now uses this plugin’s own prefix (geolens_schema_cache_). Old cache entries expire on their own within six hours.

1.13.2

• Plugin name: now “GeoLens – AI Search Schema Checker”.
• Fix: fatal error on front-end requests when no other plugin had loaded wp-admin/includes/plugin.php (conflict detection now loads it itself).
• Readme: corrected the conflict-detection plugin list to match what is implemented.
• WordPress.org build: translations are delivered by translate.wordpress.org; bundled .po/.mo files are no longer shipped there.

1.13.1

• Plugin header: “Plugin URI” now points to the features page (https://geolens.co/features/), separate from the “Author URI” (https://geolens.co), as WordPress.org requires.

1.13.0

• Removed the in-plugin checkout. It was never reachable (paid plans are marked “Coming soon”); paid plans will be purchased on geolens.co.
• readme: the External Service section now also lists account creation, licence activation and deactivation, the dashboard and AI Citation requests, the daily licence check and the subscription cancel request.
• Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
• Code clean-up from the official Plugin Check: the PHP/WordPress version notices are escaped at output, and a direct database query that clears this plugin’s own cache is documented.

1.12.0

• AI Citation trend: when the measurement tool behind a tracked question changes, the trend line is broken at that point and marked, with a note giving the date. Figures either side of that date come from different measurement platforms and are not directly comparable.
• Why this matters: in a same-question, same-model, same-project test the two measurement platforms returned overlapping cited-domain sets only 17-44% of the time, with real rank flips. Without the mark, a change of tooling would read as a change in your site.

1.11.2

• AI Citation screen: full Traditional Chinese translation (21 new strings).

1.11.1

• AI Citation screen: the empty state now explains where tracked questions actually come from (the free GEO check-up run with the same email address) and links to it, instead of saying they appear after a scan.

1.11.0

• New “AI Citation” screen: see which sites AI assistants cite for the questions tracked for your site, and (on paid plans) how that changes over time.
• Questions with too few grounded samples are marked as such instead of being shown as a precise number.

1.10.0

• WordPress.org submission preparation.
• readme: added a complete “External Service” disclosure. Every field the plugin sends to api.geolens.co is now listed, including the fact that a post’s first 30 words are used when it has no excerpt.
• readme: added Frequently Asked Questions and Screenshots sections; “Tested up to” raised to 7.0.
• Build: the WordPress.org build contains no update code of its own and is updated only through WordPress.org.
• No behaviour change for existing self-hosted installations.

1.9.0

• 方案頁改版：免費版納入「自動 Schema 注入（全站）」；付費方案聚焦「AI 引用度追蹤」。
• Pro / Agency 更新為 NT$490 / NT$2,990，功能上線前顯示「即將推出」，暫不開放結帳（不預收未交付服務的費用）。

1.8.0

• 變更：Schema 自動注入改為所有方案免費（含 Free），不再限定付費方案。
• 注入仍可由「設定 → Schema 注入」開關自行關閉；偵測到其他 SEO 外掛衝突時一樣自動退為建議模式。
• Free 方案發布文章後同樣會自動補掃，讓新內容立即帶有 Schema。

1.7.0

• 未填時預設開立雲端發票寄到帳號 Email，行為與先前一致。

1.6.0

• 新增：訂閱者可在「方案與定價」頁自助取消訂閱，不需來信客服。

• 取消後仍可使用至本期結束，届時自動降為免費版。

1.5.0

• 連續發布會合併為單一次掃描；免費方案與停用注入時不觸發，避免消耗掃描配額。

1.4.5 — 2026-07-21

• Fix: the upgrade button no longer gets stuck on “Processing…” when checkout cannot be completed. The error message was shown correctly, but the button never went back to its normal state, so the page looked frozen and there was no obvious way to try again. It now returns to normal as soon as the message appears.

1.4.4 — 2026-07-20

• The yearly billing option is temporarily hidden while we finalise our payment provider arrangements. Monthly billing is unaffected and nothing about your current plan changes. Yearly pricing and the switch are kept in place rather than removed, so they can be brought back as soon as the arrangements are settled.

1.4.3 — 2026-07-20

• Your posts’ author is now published with a link to their profile, not just a name. A name on its own gives an AI no way to check who wrote the piece, so GeoLens only counted it as half an answer; the link points at the author archive WordPress already creates for you. Worth pairing with a real bio on that author profile — the link is only as convincing as the page it leads to.

1.4.2 — 2026-07-20

• The big score on the dashboard is now labelled “Homepage AI Affinity Score”, because that is what it has always been. It sits directly above the whole-site average, so without the label it read as a score for your entire site — two different numbers with no way to tell them apart. The score, the three dimensions below it and the benchmark all describe your homepage; the whole-site average and the per-page list cover the rest.

1.4.1 — 2026-07-20

• Fix: a whole-site scan now shows its real progress and final result. The scan page used to refresh once, 1.5 seconds after you pressed Scan — but the other pages are scanned in the background and take longer than that, so it always showed something like “2 / 13 pages scanned” and never updated. It looked as if GeoLens only scanned your homepage, and pressing Scan again just used up another scan from your monthly allowance. GeoLens now follows the scan through to the end, shows the page count as it climbs, and refreshes when every page is done.

1.4.0 — 2026-07-16

• Fix: the Schema GeoLens injects now follows your page’s structure, not just its text. 1.3.1 kept the title, description and dates current, but the shape of the Schema still came from your last scan — so if you deleted a featured image, the Schema kept pointing at a picture that no longer exists; if you changed a page’s URL, the whole Schema still described the old address. GeoLens now sends the page’s current details when it fetches the Schema, and the server rebuilds it to match. Pages that already have Schema from another plugin are still left alone, exactly as before.

1.3.1 — 2026-07-16

• Fix: the Schema GeoLens injects could disagree with your page indefinitely. The injected dateModified, description and page title came from your last scan and were never refreshed, so editing a page left the structured data describing the old version — telling AI crawlers and search engines that your page is older, and less accurate, than it really is. GeoLens now fills those fields from the live page every time it injects, so they always match what a visitor sees. Everything else in the Schema still comes from your scan, as before.

1.3.0 — 2026-07-16

• Change: how GeoLens stores your API key has been reworked. Your key is still encrypted with your site’s own security key (AUTH_KEY), but it now uses AES-256-GCM, which can tell an incorrect key from a correct one every time. The previous method could not: roughly 1 attempt in 256 would silently return corrupted data, which reached the server as an invalid key and reported “licence invalid” instead of the real problem. Existing sites upgrade automatically on first load — you do not need to re-enter anything.
• Fix: your plan and quota are no longer encrypted. They are not secrets, and encrypting them meant that a change to your site’s AUTH_KEY silently reverted a Pro site to the free plan and switched Schema injection off, with no message anywhere. Rotating AUTH_KEY is a normal, officially supported WordPress operation (wp config shuffle-salts, and standard practice after a security incident), so this could happen to anyone following good security advice.
• New: GeoLens now records a fingerprint of the security key that encrypted your API key. If AUTH_KEY later changes, GeoLens can say so directly — “your site’s security key changed” — instead of guessing from a failed decryption.
• Fix: a missing AUTH_KEY no longer causes a fatal error on the front end.

1.2.6 — 2026-07-16

• Fix: if your site’s security keys (AUTH_KEY in wp-config.php) changed — after a rotation, restore, or migration — GeoLens could no longer decrypt the API key saved on your site, and behaved exactly as if the plugin had never been set up: the dashboard went blank and the Settings page offered a fresh sign-up. Registering again creates a brand-new, empty account, so the scan history appeared to be lost when it was not. GeoLens now recognises this state, tells you your account and history are safe, asks you to re-enter your existing key, and explicitly warns against registering again. The failure is also written to the error log once a day so it can be diagnosed.

1.2.5 — 2026-07-15

• Fix: free registration from the Settings page never worked — it called a malformed URL (the API prefix was added twice) and the server answered 404, so every new user saw a raw “route could not be found” error instead of getting an API key. The endpoint is now correct.
• Change: licence activation and free registration are no longer duplicated between two code paths. Both were implemented twice with drifting behaviour; they now share one implementation.

1.2.4 — 2026-07-15

• Fix: entering an incorrect API key on the Settings page overwrote your existing working key before activation was attempted, so a single typo both failed to activate and locked you out of the plugin until you re-entered the correct key. The key is now saved only after activation succeeds.

1.2.3 — 2026-07-15

• Fix: the admin interface appeared in Chinese on English sites. 120 of the plugin’s 157 translatable strings had been written with Chinese source text, so they matched no entry in the translation catalogue and were shown as-is in every language. All source strings are now English and the catalogue has been rebuilt; Traditional Chinese sites look exactly as before.
• Fix: conflict advice from the Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO / Schema Premium detectors, the plugin name and description, and two scan error messages were hard-coded Chinese with no translation support at all. They are now translatable.
• Fix: several messages (licence deactivation, checkout validation, registration) shipped English-only and never had a Traditional Chinese translation. They do now.
• Fix: the upgrade link on the Settings page built its translatable text by concatenating a URL, which meant the string could never be translated in any language. It now uses a placeholder.

1.2.2 — 2026-07-15

• Fix: Schema injection could switch itself off after a scan and only come back on the next one. The scan read the page over HTTP and counted GeoLens’s own injected Schema as “this page already has Schema”, so the next scan produced no suggestions and injection stopped until the scan after that. GeoLens now marks its own output and ignores it while scanning, so a scanned page reports the Schema it has without GeoLens — injection stays on. Schema from other plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, Schema Premium, …) is still detected exactly as before.

1.2.1 — 2026-07-13

• Change: Pricing now lists the full three-dimension analysis correctly (was mislabelled “5-dimension / coming soon”) and shows it as included on every plan, matching what the dashboard already delivers

1.2.0 — 2026-07-12

• New: One-click updates — GeoLens now checks api.geolens.co for new releases and shows the “Update now” button on the Plugins screen, like any other plugin (no more manual re-download)
• Note: Existing 1.1.0 sites need one manual update to 1.2.0; every version after that updates with one click

1.1.0 — 2026-07-11

• New: Dashboard now shows the GEO Score v2 report — three-dimension breakdown (Technical / Content / Entity trust), whole-site average, per-page scores, “what AI can’t read” / “what already works” findings, and a “you vs the field” benchmark
• Change: Score reads as “58 / 100”; the dashboard falls back to the legacy issue list for older scans

1.0.10 — 2026-04-04

• Fix: License valid flag not synced on plan upgrade — scan failed with “License invalid” after upgrading
• Fix: Clear license transient cache on dashboard sync to prevent stale isValid() check
