The problem
A company that has already paid for a good SEO plugin is told it now needs something for AI search as well, and nearly every offer on the table asks it to start again: a new suite, a new dashboard, a migration away from the plugin its titles, sitemaps and redirects already depend on. Most of these suites were also built in English first, so an Arabic page is counted, split and scored as though it were a badly written English one. For a business in a market that publishes in two languages, the choice looks like disruption now or being unreadable later.
What it is
PinMeOut is a WordPress plugin that adds the AI layer and nothing else. It controls which AI crawlers may read the site, one switch per crawler with the rules previewed before they apply. It logs which crawlers actually came and what they read, tracks visitors arriving from assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity, and scores each page on whether a passage can stand on its own when quoted. It keeps an llms.txt file current and publishes question-and-answer markup on the pages that qualify. Six free checks on pinmeout.com let anyone test an address before installing anything.
Why it was hard
- Sitting beside an SEO plugin means never writing the same thing twice. Titles, sitemaps, canonical tags and the main schema graph belong to the plugin already installed, and two plugins emitting competing markup is worse than one.
- robots.txt is shared ground. Rank Math and others write to it too, so crawler rules had to be added without overwriting what was already there, and removable without leaving debris.
- Scoring Arabic properly meant rebuilding the text handling rather than translating the interface. Word counts, sentence boundaries and title encoding all behave differently.
Built to sit beside the SEO plugin already there
PinMeOut works alongside Rank Math, Yoast SEO, AIOSEO and SEOPress, and on a site with none of them it recommends one of those four rather than trying to become one. That constraint is the product. It removes the migration, it keeps each plugin doing the job it is good at, and it means a company can add AI visibility in an afternoon without re-checking every title it has ever written. Nothing on the site changes until the owner chooses it.
Arabic scored as Arabic
Arabic pages are read the way Arabic is written. Words are counted correctly, sentences are split where Arabic sentences actually end, and llms.txt keeps Arabic titles intact rather than turning them into encoded strings. For a bilingual site this is the difference between a score that describes the page and one that describes a tool’s assumptions.
What is free, and stays free
Deciding who may read your own site is free in full and is not held back for a paid tier. The free plugin covers every crawler, the robots.txt rules, a year of crawler activity and referrals, answer readiness, llms.txt and question-and-answer markup on any number of sites. A yearly Pro licence adds per-page detail, alerts, exports and scheduled reports, and when a licence ends nothing breaks and nothing recorded is deleted.
What it demonstrates
That the most useful move in a crowded category can be refusing to replace anything. It shows product work that starts from the buyer’s existing setup, treats two languages as equal inputs rather than a translation job, and draws the line between free and paid where it respects the customer rather than where it maximises lock-in.
Where it is now
PinMeOut is live at pinmeout.com, built under Tothiq AI Services and Solutions. The plugin is available to download from the site at version 1.0.0, the six free checks are open without an account, and the free edition is being prepared for the WordPress.org plugin directory, with Pro sold and updated from pinmeout.com.
