ARN Smart Visitor Intent

ARN Smart Visitor Intent helps WordPress site owners understand why visitors came before the first conversation begins.

A lightweight sticky bar opens into an intent panel where visitors can select their reason for visiting and optionally share contact information. Built-in display rules and triggers control when the panel appears, while analytics reveal views, opens, responses, dismissals, contact activity, and intent distribution.

The plugin also includes privacy and consent tools, CSV export, email notifications, WordPress Mail and SMTP delivery options, plus a separate contact widget for Call, Email, and WhatsApp.

External services

The plugin works without external services. Two optional features use them:

AI insights (ARN Free AI). This plugin does not contact any ARN server. AI features are off until a site administrator turns on AI Insights in Visitor Intent > Settings and sets up a provider under Settings > ARN Free AI.

When an administrator chooses a provider and enters their own API key, the plugin sends the text needed for the requested task to that provider only, at the moment the task runs. The API key is stored encrypted in the WordPress database. No data is sent to any other provider.

Requests are sent from your server only when:

• a visitor response is saved while AI Insights is on: the response fields allowed in the AI privacy settings (by default the selected intent and the message; name, email, LinkedIn, and company only if you enable them), processed in the background;
• an administrator generates AI Insights: aggregate visitor statistics (counts only);
• an administrator generates the website diagnosis: Google Analytics and Search Console comparison figures read through Site Kit, such as metrics and the names of pages, queries, countries, devices, and channels;

• an administrator clicks “Test connection” (a fixed test prompt, no site content) or “Load models” (the provider’s model list) under Settings > ARN Free AI.

• OpenAI-compatible endpoint: requests go to the address the administrator enters; that service’s own terms apply.

If WordPress AI is chosen instead, requests go through the provider connected in WordPress (Settings > Connectors) under that provider’s terms.

The bundled ARN Free AI module keeps its settings in the arn_free_ai_settings option and daily AI usage totals (no prompts, answers or keys) in the {prefix}arn_free_ai_usage database table.

Google Site Kit (Google Analytics and Search Console). Website Intelligence and Growth Intelligence do not contact Google themselves. They read reports from the Google Site Kit plugin through your site’s own REST API on the server; Site Kit connects to Google with your site’s own connection. See the Site Kit plugin and Google’s terms (https://policies.google.com/terms) and privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

The recommendations block, the visitor panel, and the contact widget do not use external services.
