## Description

Phyllix reads your website, works out what your business actually does, and then
works on your search visibility the way a marketing manager would – by finding what
you could realistically rank for, what your existing pages half-cover, and what 
is missing entirely.

It never publishes anything. Every article it writes is filed as a **draft** for
you to read, edit and approve. Every change it proposes to a page you already have
is shown to you in full first, and the original is kept so it can be undone.

**What it does**

 * Reads your published pages and builds a profile of your business from them
 * Maps your existing content and finds the gaps in it
 * Builds a keyword map, cross-checked against Google Search Console where you connect
   it
 * Researches a topic, then writes a full article and files it as a draft
 * Reviews its own drafts for SEO, readability and accuracy before you see them
 * Improves pages you already have, one at a time, always as a reviewable proposal
 * Tracks how published articles actually perform in Google over time
 * Checks technical health: image dimensions, heading structure, broken links, redirect
   chains, mixed content, accidental noindex
 * Adds a call to action to pages that attract visitors but never ask for the business

**How it treats your content**

This is the part we care most about. A page you already have is a page that already
works for someone, so:

 * Nothing is ever published automatically
 * What gets read is an allow-list you control – only Pages and Posts by default,
   nothing else unless you add it in Settings
 * Private and password-protected content is skipped outright, and any email address
   found in a page’s text is stripped before that text ever reaches an AI request
 * Page structure is preserved. Block layouts, full-width sections and shortcodes
   survive an edit, because the layout is never sent to the AI in the first place
 * Pages built with Elementor, Divi or WPBakery are not rewritten at all
 * Every edit to a live page keeps the original, so it can be reversed
 * A newly published article is left alone for four weeks before Phyllix offers 
   to improve it, because Google needs that long before its position means anything

**Free plan**

The free plan includes 3 AI-written articles, once — a one-time allowance, not a
monthly one. Reading your site, the business profile, the content map, the keyword
map, the gap analysis, manually-tracked competitors, Google Search Console tracking,
and fixing technical SEO problems are always included, for free, forever, with no
limit. Once the 3 free articles are used, buy AI credits ($1.25 each, pay only for
what you use, no subscription) or move up to a paid plan for an ongoing monthly 
allowance. Free also reads up to 25 pages of your own site, once, ever.

### External services

**Phyllix cannot work without connecting to an external service.** It does not run
AI models on your server, and it does not ask you for API keys. Instead it sends
work to the Phyllix service, which runs the AI on your behalf. You should understand
exactly what that means before you use it.

#### The Phyllix service (Visualithic Solutions)

Phyllix connects to `https://visualithicsolutions.com`, operated by Visualithic 
Solutions, to license the plugin and to run every AI request.

**When it connects:**

 * When you first connect the plugin, to create your free licence
 * Every time you ask it to do something that needs AI
 * A licence check roughly every 6 hours while you are using it — more often (down
   to every few minutes) only while your plan is showing as fully used up, so a 
   credit purchase or upgrade is noticed quickly rather than waiting out the normal
   cache

**What is sent:**

 * A randomly generated install identifier, created by the plugin for your site
 * Your site address (`home_url()`)
 * Your licence key, once you have one
 * The text of the pages and drafts Phyllix is working on, including titles and 
   meta descriptions
 * The business profile Phyllix has built from your pages
 * Your Google Search Console figures, if you have connected Search Console
 * Your WordPress administrator email address – **only when you activate a paid 
   licence**, not when a free licence is created

**What is not sent:** your database, your users, your customers’ data, your orders,
or the content of any page Phyllix has not been asked to work on. Pages you have
marked Private or password-protected are skipped outright, whatever content type
they are, and any email address found in a page’s text is stripped before that text
reaches an AI request.

 Privacy: https://visualithicsolutions.
com/privacy

#### AI providers used by that service

The Phyllix service passes your request to one of two AI providers, depending on
the task. Your content is sent to them by the Phyllix service, not directly by this
plugin.

 * **Anthropic** – used for writing the final text of an article or page rewrite.
   
   Terms: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms Privacy: https://www.anthropic.
   com/legal/privacy
 * **Google (Gemini)** – used for research, analysis, review and classification.
   When researching, it uses Google Search grounding, which means your topic is 
   searched on the web.
    Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms Privacy: https://
   policies.google.com/privacy

#### Google Search Console (optional)

If you choose to connect Google Search Console, Phyllix calls
 https://oauth2.googleapis.
com to exchange the credentials you supply for an access token, and `https://searchconsole.
googleapis.com` to read which searches your site appears for. This is entirely optional
and nothing is sent to Google beyond the API request itself.

Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms
 Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

#### Google PageSpeed Insights (optional)

If you run a site health check, Phyllix calls `https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline`
with the public address of the page being checked, to retrieve its performance scores.

Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms
 Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

#### Links on your own pages

When you run a site health check, Phyllix makes a HEAD request to the addresses

your pages link to, in order to find broken links and redirect chains. These are
the sites you have already linked to. No data about you or your site is sent – the
request only asks whether the address still responds.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Open **Phyllix** in the admin menu.
 3. Read what Phyllix will send to its service, and connect. A free licence is created
    for your site automatically – there is no account to make and no key to paste.
 4. Run **Read the website** so Phyllix can learn your business from your own pages.

## FAQ

### Does it publish anything by itself?

No. Articles are filed as drafts. Changes to existing pages are shown to you as 
a proposal and are only applied when you click to apply them. There is no code path
in the plugin that publishes a post or changes the status of a published one.

### Can I use my own OpenAI or Anthropic API key?

No. Phyllix provides the AI as part of the plan, which is why there are no keys 
to manage and no separate AI bill to reconcile.

### Will it break the layout of my pages?

It is built specifically not to. On a block-built page, only the text inside your
existing blocks is edited and the block structure is put back exactly as it was,
so full-width sections and layout settings survive. If a rewrite would lose block
wrappers, alignments or shortcodes, it is refused rather than applied. Pages built
with a page builder are not rewritten at all.

### Can I undo a change to a live page?

Yes. The original content is stored before any edit, and every applied change can
be reverted from within Phyllix.

### What happens when I use up my article allowance?

It pauses and tells you, right where you clicked. Nothing is charged automatically
and nothing is written that you have not asked for. On a paid plan the allowance
resets on the 1st of each month; on the Free plan the 3 articles are a one-time 
allowance that never resets. Either way, you can buy AI credits ($1.25 each, no 
subscription, pay only for what you use) to keep going immediately, or move up a
plan for ongoing headroom.

### How do I get the Google file for Search Console?

Step-by-step instructions in plain English are shown inside the plugin, right above
the upload box in Settings. It takes about five minutes, it is free, and you only
do it once. In short: create a free Google Cloud project, enable the Search Console
API, create a service account and download its JSON key, upload that file here, 
then add the email address Phyllix shows you as a user on your site in Search Console.

You never need to open the JSON file. Upload it and Phyllix reads the email address
out of it for you.

### Does it work without Google Search Console?

Yes. Search Console makes the keyword and results work far more accurate, because
it replaces guesswork with what Google actually shows for your site, but Phyllix
works without it.

### What data does it send?

See the “External services” section above, which lists this in full.

### Could it read something it shouldn’t – an invoice, a quote, a private page?

No. What Phyllix reads is an allow-list you control in Settings -> Content to read–
it starts with just your ordinary Pages and Posts, and nothing else is added unless
you tick it, so a separate “Invoices” or “Quotes” post type stays out by default.
On top of that, anything you have marked Private or password-protected is skipped
outright, whatever its type – and any email address inside a page’s text is stripped
in code before that text ever reaches an AI request, everywhere in the plugin, not
only on the first read.

### What stops it putting something odd on my page?

Every change Phyllix makes to a page is checked before it is saved. If the result
contains anything that should not be visible to a visitor – structured data showing
as words, HTML tags reading as text, markdown symbols, an unfilled placeholder, 
mangled characters, or the assistant talking to you – the change is refused and 
you are told exactly what was found. Nothing Phyllix introduces of that kind can
reach a published page.

### Do I need Yoast or Rank Math?

No, but Phyllix works with both. Where one is installed, the search settings it 
writes – focus keyphrase, synonyms, SEO title and meta description – go straight
into that plugin’s own fields. With neither installed, Phyllix keeps its own copy
so the work is not lost if you add one later.

## Change Log

#### 1.3.0

 * An already-paying licence’s “Upgrade to X” now actually upgrades in place instead
   of sending you to a subscription-management page with no way to change plan on
   it — it lands on a short confirmation showing the exact charge (based on articles
   you haven’t used yet this cycle, not calendar days) before anything is charged.
   Tiers below your current one now offer a plain “Move to X” downgrade — no charge
   now, takes effect at your next renewal, current plan stays active until then.

#### 1.2.0

 * Upgrade buttons on the plan comparison table now link straight to checkout for
   the tier you clicked, or to your subscription-management portal if you’re already
   on a paid plan — no need to find the right tier on a separate pricing page yourself.

#### 1.1.0

 * Fixed a mix-up where one “geography” field was being asked to do two different
   jobs at once — the single, big-picture market AI Visibility builds its questions
   around, versus the actual list of specific areas Service Areas and local-content
   ideas need. These are now two separate fields, so listing several towns no longer
   makes AI Visibility fixate every question on whichever one happened to be listed
   first.

#### 1.0.6

 * When the business profile comes back from a read with a required section still
   blank, Phyllix now derives a starting answer from a closely related section that
   was filled in (for example, “services” from “what we do”) instead of leaving 
   Ideas, Competitors, Research and Keywords stalled until the gap is noticed and
   filled in by hand. Always marked as a low-confidence starting point, and never
   overwrites a section you’ve already edited yourself.

#### 1.0.5

 * Setting up “Win enquiries” destinations now checks whether your own contact or
   quote page already publishes a phone number, email, or WhatsApp link, and pre-
   fills the form with what it finds — still fully editable, and nothing is saved
   until you press Save.

#### 1.0.4

 * Competitor discovery now runs in the background instead of blocking the request
   on up to 8 web searches, avoiding the “kept getting killed mid-run” failure some
   hosts hit on this step — the same background pattern already used for writing
   articles and improving pages.

#### 1.0.3

 * Every “business profile is incomplete” message — on the cockpit, and wherever
   Ideas, Competitors, Research, Keywords, local content or Service Areas refuse
   to run without it — now names exactly which section is still empty, instead of
   a generic “it’s incomplete” that sent owners hunting through the whole profile
   page to find the gap themselves.

#### 1.0.2

 * Plugin Check round 2: fixed a missed unescaped post ID in the Search pages table’s
   Edit button, and restructured the “Win enquiries” call-to-action card to echo
   directly instead of being built as a returned string — the returned-string pattern(
   safe internally, but flagged regardless since the card also has to render the
   site owner’s own live page content through wp_kses_post(), which a fixed admin-
   chrome allowlist would have stripped) was the plugin’s last remaining OutputNotEscaped
   error.

#### 1.0.1

 * Plugin Check hardening: fixed 4 leftover text-domain mismatches, added explicit
   versions to two registered stylesheets, and re-verified every internally-built
   HTML fragment (score cards, result rows, sparkline charts, search snippets) with
   wp_kses() at the point it is output, plus inline int-casts on numeric values,
   so escaping is checked at the actual output call rather than relied on from where
   a value was first computed.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
