OGEEAT signals your authority to the AIs. Hack The SEO builds it.
OGEEAT is an excellent free French WordPress plugin (WPFormation) that adds the E-E-A-T layer, the GEO score, an enriched llms.txt, AI bot tracking and even a read-only MCP that classic SEO plugins do not offer. It is rich, and it is well built. If you are looking for the next step, the system that builds the authority OGEEAT's signals will broadcast (cocoon architecture through embeddings, 30 long-form articles, internal linking applied automatically, GSC learning, a Claude diagnosis MCP), here is what Hack The SEO adds on top.
Book a free 20-min demoOGEEAT does its job very well. And its job is not to do the rest.
OGEEAT is explicit about where it stands: “OGEEAT is not an SEO plugin. It's a post-SEO plugin” (official WordPress.org listing). It is an identity, authority and AI-citability layer designed to complement your SEO plugin. Within that scope, it is very complete: 9 modules, free, GPL for life, BYO-LLM (you bring your own AI key), built by WPFormation (Fabrice Ducarme, creator of WPS Hide Login). In v2.6 OGEEAT even added an internal linking module (local TF-IDF), Google Search Console reads and a read-only MCP. Hack The SEO sits one floor above: building the authority OGEEAT broadcasts. Here are the five differences that OGEEAT users come looking for in a demo.
A signaling layer vs an editorial system
OGEEAT lays down the E-E-A-T schemas (Person, Organization/LocalBusiness, Article, FAQ, HowTo and more), computes a GEO score across 12 citability criteria, and analyzes your internal linking with local TF-IDF. That is valuable for signaling your authority. But it does not write your long-form articles, does not build the pillar/child architecture and does not apply the internal links: it suggests them, you execute.
TF-IDF linking vs an executed cocoon architecture
OGEEAT has a real Internal Linking module: a local TF-IDF analysis that detects orphan pages, cannibalization and link opportunities, exportable as CSV, plus an AI action plan (quick wins / cannibalization / cocoon). That is analysis + suggestion. What it does not do: build a pillar → children → satellites architecture, or apply the links inside your content.
AI snippets vs long-form writing
Through your own AI key (BYO-LLM), OGEEAT generates short elements: a meta description (under 155 characters), a voice excerpt (under 40 words) and a citable direct-answer paragraph (under 50 words). Very useful for citability. But it does not produce the full article. For 30 long-form articles a month, you write by hand, pay a writer (~300–600 € per senior article) or bolt on a separate AI tool.
Reading GSC vs learning from impact
OGEEAT has an AI visibility dashboard (visits from GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, referrals, llms.txt fetches, a 0–100 score) and reads your Google Search Console through Site Kit (queries, clicks, impressions, position over 28 days, cross-referenced with the GEO score). What it does not do: measure the causal impact of each action at D+7/D+30, or re-prioritize over time.
4 GEO abilities vs a full SEO MCP
OGEEAT v2.6 exposes a read-only MCP server: 4 abilities (GEO score, E-E-A-T status, AI visibility, orphan content) that an AI agent can consult safely. That is already rare and well judged. The scope, however, stays limited to those 4 GEO signals.
Three things OGEEAT does not do (by design). Three things Hack The SEO does natively.
Validated on 30+ WordPress sites in production, and used daily by 1,200+ SaaS users.
A pyramid architecture, not just a keyword cluster.
The semantic cocoon is a three-level editorial structure where every page knows its role. Hack The SEO detects it automatically through TF-IDF analysis combined with OpenAI vector embeddings.
- ● Pillar: exhaustive content, targets the main query
- ● Children: detailed subtopics, link back to the pillar
- ● Satellites: long-tail variants, feed the children
- ● Orphans: disconnected pages diluting authority (auto-detected)
Differentiator 1
An AI semantic cocoon executed, not merely suggested
Hack The SEO scans your catalog, computes embedding vectors with OpenAI text-embedding-3-small, detects the pillars through multi-criteria scoring, and builds the pillar → children → satellites tree. Ultra weaves and applies the AI internal linking, and updates itself when a piece of content changes. Orphan pages are identified and flagged in the Inbox.
On the OGEEAT side: a local TF-IDF Internal Linking module that detects orphans, cannibalization and opportunities, plus an AI action plan. But no pillar/child/satellite architecture through embeddings, and no application or automatic push of the linking.
Differentiator 2
A system that learns from your Search Console
Every time an SEO action is applied, Hack The SEO measures its real impact on your GSC data at D+7 and D+30. The actions that work on your site move up the priorities. The ones that do nothing get downgraded. It is a Thompson Sampling bandit algorithm combined with pattern mining, the same type of model e-commerce uses to optimize product recommendations.
On the OGEEAT side: an AI visibility dashboard (bot visits, referrals, 0–100 score) + GSC reads over 28 days through Site Kit, cross-referenced with the GEO score. But no causal D+7/D+30 impact measurement per action, and no learning that re-prioritizes actions over time.
Differentiator 3
An SEO diagnosis MCP with rich abilities
OGEEAT exposes a read-only MCP (4 GEO abilities). Hack The SEO exposes a far richer SEO diagnosis MCP: from claude.ai or Claude Code, you ask Claude to analyze your cocoon, your GSC impact and your audit, and it hands you a reasoned diagnosis + a prioritized action plan, with no credits to burn.
On the OGEEAT side: an MCP is exposed, but read-only (4 GEO abilities: GEO score, E-E-A-T, AI visibility, orphan content). It generates snippets through your own AI key and offers an “Explain my AI visibility” button, but no deep SEO abilities (cocoon, GSC, audit) and no long-form writing.
89 modules in 1 subscription. No Pro/Elite paywall, no credits that expire.
Hack The SEO bundles 89 modules: AI semantic cocoon, audit, scoring, long-form writing, internal linking, schema, MCP, AI tracking. All under a single Pro or Ultra subscription. Here are the 12 most visible ones, the ones that make the difference in a demo. The “OGEEAT” column states honestly what OGEEAT does on each line.

What you really pay each month. All included.
OGEEAT is free (0 € in license). But because it is a post-SEO layer, you need a baseline SEO plugin alongside it (often free), your own AI key for its AI functions (BYO-LLM), and above all human time to build the cocoon architecture, write the long-form articles and apply the internal linking. Calculated at the senior SEO consultant rate in France (Malt 2025 barometer · 70 €/h).
= 0 € + 2,100 € = ~ 2,100 €
= 99 € + 280 € = ~ 379 €
OGEEAT and Hack The SEO live together without conflict. Zero data loss.
Like OGEEAT, Hack The SEO automatically detects the plugins already in place and steps back on redundant modules. You keep OGEEAT for what it does best (E-E-A-T schemas, llms.txt, AI visibility, firewall) and let Hack The SEO build the content and the linking on top.
You know who visits your site from Google. And from ChatGPT?
OGEEAT has a solid AI visibility dashboard: it tracks AI bot visits (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended), referrals, llms.txt fetches, and computes a 0–100 score. Hack The SEO starts there and adds two things: it cross-references those signals with Google Search Console in a unified cockpit, and it measures your share of voice by querying the LLMs directly (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude) on your target keywords. OGEEAT measures who visits you; Hack The SEO measures who cites you.
“In 2026, ranking on Google is no longer enough. You need to know what the AIs see and read about you, so you can steer it.”
OGEEAT alternative pricing: 99 €/month for the full system (OGEEAT stays free for the E-E-A-T + GEO layer).
Adding Hack The SEO to your OGEEAT stack means moving from the signaling layer to the full editorial system. Where OGEEAT lays down 9 modules across E-E-A-T + GEO + AI visibility (free, BYO-LLM, by WPFormation), Hack The SEO adds 89 modules that build the citable content: an applied AI semantic cocoon, 30 long-form articles, automatic linking, D+7/D+30 GSC learning and an SEO diagnosis MCP. The two plugins live together without conflict.
Hack The SEO Ultra at 249 €/month ≈ an SEO agency at 1,500 €/month. Without the meeting schedule.
