# OGEEAT Alternative: 22 Criteria Compared (2026) URL: https://hacktheseo.com/ogeeat-alternative/ Date: 2026-07-08 Last modified: 2026-07-08 Author: Hacktheeric --- - OGEEAT ALTERNATIVE · 2026 # 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](https://hacktheseo.com/wordpress-seo-plugin/) adds on top. [Install the free version](/download) 1,200+ SaaS users · Dunod-published book · Made in France Factual comparison · June 2026 5 key criteria Signals authority (E-E-A-T + GEO) OGEEAT→HTS Builds authority: cocoon + writing + linking Linking: analysis + suggestions (TF-IDF) OGEEAT→HTS Pillar/child architecture + automatic push Reads GSC (28 days) + AI visibility OGEEAT→HTS Learns from GSC: D+7 and D+30 impact Generates AI snippets (meta, voice) OGEEAT→HTS 30 long-form articles/month (Ultra) Read-only MCP (4 abilities) OGEEAT→HTS Rich MCP: cocoon, GSC, audit (diagnosis) OGEEAT and Hack The SEO are **complementary**: keep OGEEAT, add Hack The SEO. Compatible Made in France 89 modules OGEEAT VS HACK THE SEO · 2026 ## OGEEAT 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. 01 ### 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. Hack The SEO **builds** the authority OGEEAT signals: AI semantic cocoon, long-form writing, internal linking applied automatically, on-page scoring. HTS produces the citable content; OGEEAT broadcasts it to the AIs. 02 ### 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. Hack The SEO analyzes with **OpenAI vector embeddings** (meaning, not just vocabulary), assigns a role to every page (pillar/child/satellite/orphan), then **applies the linking** according to those levels (automatic push on Ultra). 03 ### 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. Hack The SEO Ultra writes **30 long-form articles/month** inside the plugin (2,000+ words, Hn structure, NLP entities, AI images, ready to publish). The author signed through OGEEAT carries the authority; HTS produces the citable volume. 04 ### 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. Hack The SEO **measures impact at D+7 and D+30** for every action on GSC. The decision engine then ranks the next actions by proven impact on your site. OGEEAT + HTS: AI visibility _and_ measured Google impact. 05 ### 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. Hack The SEO's MCP exposes far richer SEO abilities: from claude.ai, Claude reads your cocoon, your GSC impact and your audit, then delivers a _diagnosis + a prioritized action plan_. Well beyond OGEEAT's 4 GEO abilities. 3 DIFFERENTIATORS · 2026 ## 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. WHAT IS A SEMANTIC COCOON? ### 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) **OGEEAT** also detects orphans and cannibalization (local TF-IDF analysis) and proposes an action plan. **Hack The SEO** goes further: it builds the pillar/child/satellite architecture through embeddings, assigns a role to every page and **applies the linking** according to the levels (from 99 €/month on Pro, automatic push on Ultra). That is the difference between suggesting the linking and executing it. 01 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. Cocoon generated in < 60 sec 02 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. Impact measured at D+7 and D+30 03 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. SEO diagnosis MCP · cocoon, GSC, audit 89 MODULES · 1 SINGLE SUBSCRIPTION ## 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.

OGEEAT: reads GSC via Site Kit (28 days, cross-referenced with the GEO score). HTS adds the causal D+7/D+30 impact measurement. Pro+Ultra 12 ### Founder-led support Answers from the founders themselves (EN + FR). OGEEAT: FR support (WPFormation, Fabrice Ducarme). Free, community-driven.

DIFFERENTIATOR · SEO DIAGNOSIS MCP OGEEAT: 4 GEO abilities · HTS: a full SEO MCP ## OGEEAT lets the AI read 4 GEO signals. Hack The SEO gives it your whole deep SEO. OGEEAT v2.6 exposes a **read-only** MCP server: 4 abilities (GEO score, E-E-A-T status, AI visibility, orphan content) that an agent like Claude can query safely. Smart, and rare. Hack The SEO goes further on **scope**: you connect Claude to your site, it reads your Hack The SEO data, your Google Search Console and your pages live, then delivers a **reasoned diagnosis + a prioritized action plan**. Well beyond the 4 GEO signals, in a natural conversation, at any hour. Step 1 · You ### You ask the question “Which pages should I optimize first for AI citability?” → Step 2 · Claude ### Claude reads and analyzes Reads your site, your GSC and your HTS audit → Step 3 · You ### You get the plan Diagnosis + prioritized action plan A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASK › “Compare my current OGEEAT configuration with what Hack The SEO would do by default.” › “What are my 5 highest-ROI SEO actions this week, based on measured impact?” › “Which pages cannibalize each other?

Zero Google positions lost, zero Search Console history lost. The two plugins complement each other: OGEEAT signals, Hack The SEO builds. 5 min [Book a demo · 20 min](https://calendly.com/eric-ibanez-hts/20min) AI ANALYTICS · VISIBILITY INSIDE THE LLMs ## 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. AI citations measured Hack The SEO queries ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI on your target queries and measures whether your brand is cited. You track your AI share of voice over time, not just crawler visits. Complementary to the OGEEAT dashboard OGEEAT tracks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended passing over your site. Keep it for that: Hack The SEO does not duplicate the function, it adds citation measurement and the GSC cross-reference. Google + AI, one unified dashboard The Hack The SEO cockpit merges Google Search Console and AI visibility into a single view. Google clicks, impressions and position on one side; AI citations and visits on the other. 15-day / 30-day / 90-day / 12-month comparison. “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.” Bruno Ibanez & Eric Ibanez, co-authors of "Le SEO pour booster sa croissance" (Dunod, 2025) [See AI Analytics in a demo](https://calendly.com/eric-ibanez-hts/20min) PUBLIC PRICING · NO COMMITMENT ## 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.

Without the meeting schedule. WHO IT IS FOR · 4 OGEEAT USER PROFILES ## Based on how you use OGEEAT today, here is the Hack The SEO plan that matches. OGEEAT ALONE · PRO Overwhelmed SMBs & freelancers OGEEAT gives you the E-E-A-T signaling, the GEO score and the llms.txt: valuable for AI citability. But the cocoon architecture and the writing stay on your plate. Hack The SEO **Pro** at 99 €/month: the system ranks the actions by measured impact on your site, and through the MCP, Claude reads your site and hands you a plan, with no credits. OGEEAT + RANK MATH · ULTRA E-commerce sites that publish a lot OGEEAT alongside Rank Math: a good setup for the free GEO layer. But the cocoon architecture, the long-form articles and the applied linking stay manual. Hack The SEO **Ultra** delivers 30 optimized long-form articles/month, applies the linking, with no credit system and no OpenAI key to provide. OGEEAT + YOAST · PRO Bloggers who want measured impact OGEEAT's AI visibility dashboard shows you which AI bots visit your site. But you do not know which actions actually move traffic. Hack The SEO **Pro**: every action is measured on GSC at D+7 and D+30. Recommendations adapt to what works on your site, not to a generic benchmark. OGEEAT + SEOPRESS · ULTRA Agencies & multi-site owners OGEEAT deployed across several sites (free): good for the GEO layer everywhere. But every site is configured by hand, with no pattern sharing across clients. Hack The SEO **Ultra**: the Inbox fixes in 1 click, Agent Mode executes, Claude's MCP diagnoses from claude.ai, and the winning patterns propagate automatically. [That sounds like me · Book 20 min](https://calendly.com/eric-ibanez-hts/20min) FAQ · OGEEAT vs HACK THE SEO ## The 8 questions we hear about OGEEAT vs Hack The SEO. Are OGEEAT and Hack The SEO complementary or competitors? Complementary on the E-E-A-T + GEO layer, though Hack The SEO can stand alone if you want an integrated system. OGEEAT excels within its scope: Person/Organization schemas, a 12-criteria GEO score, an AI visibility dashboard, an AI Crawler Firewall (52 bots), an enriched llms.txt, a read-only MCP. Hack The SEO covers those functions _plus_ the **authority you build**: a semantic cocoon through embeddings, long-form writing, applied linking, GSC learning, a deep SEO diagnosis MCP. Keep OGEEAT for its AI dashboard and its firewall, or consolidate everything into Hack The SEO. Can you run OGEEAT and Hack The SEO at the same time? Yes, by splitting the roles. OGEEAT automatically detects SEO plugins and disables its Open Graph module if another plugin handles OG; Hack The SEO runs the same detection. To live together cleanly: let OGEEAT handle the E-E-A-T schemas, the llms.txt and the AI visibility dashboard; let Hack The SEO handle Open Graph, the cocoon, the linking and the audit. OGEEAT's unique modules (AI visibility dashboard, 52-bot AI Crawler Firewall, enriched llms.txt) stay active without conflict. OGEEAT is free. Why pay 99 €/month for Hack The SEO? Because the cost is not in the plugin, it is in the human time. OGEEAT at 0 € signals your authority to the AIs (with your own AI key in BYO-LLM), but **you** are the one who has to build the cocoon architecture, write the long-form articles and apply the linking. At 70 €/h (senior SEO consultant day rate in France, Malt 2025 barometer), ~30 h/month = ~2,100 € of work. Hack The SEO Pro at 99 €/month + ~4 h of validation = ~379 €/month delegated total. The gap is in what you hand over to the system. Does Hack The SEO include the E-E-A-T layer like OGEEAT? Yes. Hack The SEO generates the Person, Organization and Article JSON-LD schemas with authors, dates and credentials, and computes an internal GEO score across 12+ AI-citability criteria. The Author SEO Manager module handles author profiles with Schema.org linking. The difference with OGEEAT: on the Hack The SEO side those signals are **wired into the editorial system** (writing, cocoon, linking, MCP). OGEEAT makes that layer its dedicated specialty — and pushes it further on some points (Reviewed By for YMYL, front-end Author Box, APA references). Does OGEEAT's AI bot tracking exist inside Hack The SEO? OGEEAT's AI visibility dashboard (visits from GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, referrals, llms.txt fetches, a 0–100 score) is very well built. Hack The SEO measures AI visibility a complementary way: it queries the LLMs directly (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude) with your target keywords and measures your share of voice inside the answers. OGEEAT measures who visits you; Hack The SEO measures who cites you. You can keep OGEEAT active for that function. OGEEAT lays down the GEO tags. But who produces the content that gets cited? That is the key question. OGEEAT's E-E-A-T tags signal _who_ wrote it and _with what authority_, and it even generates snippets (meta, voice excerpt, direct answer) through your own AI key. But it does not produce the full article. For an AI to cite you, you need structured, factual content with named entities, extractable FAQs and direct-answer chunks (the 2024 Princeton / Georgia Tech / IIT Delhi research on GEO). Hack The SEO Ultra writes **30 long-form articles/month** optimized against those criteria. You validate, OGEEAT signals, the AIs cite. OGEEAT has an AI Crawler Firewall. Does Hack The SEO replace it? OGEEAT's AI Crawler Firewall is very thorough: 52 known AI bots (16 allowed by default, 36 blocked), applied through robots.txt _and_ the X-Robots-Tag header. Hack The SEO ships a robots.txt + IndexNow module with AI bot handling, but OGEEAT goes further on the detail and the per-bot attribution. If that function is central to you, keep OGEEAT active for that module and use Hack The SEO for the rest: the two live together without conflict. Could OGEEAT become a full SEO plugin and make Hack The SEO redundant? WPFormation states its “post-SEO” positioning plainly on the official WordPress.org listing: “_OGEEAT is not an SEO plugin. It's a post-SEO plugin_” — an identity, authority and AI-citability layer that _complements_ your SEO plugin. Hack The SEO occupies a different, wider field: a full editorial system with a cocoon through embeddings, long-form writing, applied linking, D+7/D+30 GSC learning and an SEO diagnosis MCP. Two complementary philosophies: OGEEAT = a free specialized layer to stack, Hack The SEO = an integrated all-in-one system. [Another question?
