Publirank GEO Ready is an essential tool for GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). It helps your WordPress site to be better understood and cited by Artificial Intelligences such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.
As search evolves toward AI-generated answers, it is crucial to provide crawlers with a simplified and structured version of your content. This plugin automates the creation of a “bridge” between your complex HTML and text-hungry LLMs.
<h3>Why install GEO Ready?</h3>
Modern HTML is often too heavy and polluted by scripts or complex layouts for AI bots. GEO Ready extracts the core essence of your articles to deliver them in a universal, lightweight and perfectly structured Markdown (.md) format.
<h3>Key Features:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Static Markdown Generation (.md): Automatically creates a physical <code>.md</code> version of your articles for blazing fast performance and maximum compatibility with Gemini and GPTBot.</li>
<li>Dedicated LLM Sitemap: An exclusive <code>sitemap-llm.xml</code> file to guide AI robots directly to your Markdown versions.</li>
<li>llms.txt Standard Support: Implementation of the <code>llms.txt</code> (or <code>publirank-llms.txt</code>) file to help AI assistants index your priority content.</li>
<li>AI Training Scraper Protection: Option to block access to bots that scrape your data for training while allowing real-time search agents.</li>
<li>AI Crawl Statistics: A precise dashboard to see which AI (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, GoogleOther, etc.) visits your site and which pages they are interested in.</li>
<li>AI SEO Metadata: Automatic inclusion of author, publication date, and canonical URL in Markdown headers.</li>
</ul>
<h3>100% Free & Independent</h3>
This plugin is completely standalone. No API key, no third-party account, no data sent outside. It is a tool offered by the <a href="https://publirank.io" rel="nofollow ugc">Publirank.io</a> community to support the web ecosystem.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
This plugin keeps all data on your WordPress site. It does not send your content, settings, or crawl logs to Publirank.io or any other external service as part of its normal operation.
What is stored
<ul>
<li>Settings — Stored in the WordPress options table (<code>publgeo_settings</code>): feature toggles, llms.txt preferences, category filters, and similar configuration.</li>
<li>AI crawl statistics — When an identified AI-related bot requests Markdown, the LLM sitemap, or the llms-style list file, the plugin may log a row in a custom database table (<code>{prefix}publgeo_geo_crawls</code>) containing the requested URL (truncated), the HTTP User-Agent (truncated), a derived bot label, the date/time of the request, and a classification flag. These rows are used only for the in-admin statistics dashboard.</li>
<li>Short-lived cache — A transient (<code>publgeo_geo_llms_txt_cache</code>) may cache generated llms.txt output for performance. It is cleared on uninstall and can be cleared from the settings screen.</li>
<li>Static cache files — Markdown (<code>.md</code>) and related files under your uploads directory (<code>wp-content/uploads/.../publgeo-cache/</code>). They mirror public content and are regenerated from your posts.</li>
</ul>
Retention
<ul>
<li>Crawl log rows older than 90 days are deleted automatically by a daily scheduled task.</li>
<li>You can uninstall the plugin at any time. By default, settings and the crawl statistics table are kept so you can reinstall without losing configuration or history; generated <code>.md</code> cache files and the internal transient are removed on uninstall. A site administrator remains responsible for any wider data-protection obligations (for example, if URLs in logs are considered personal data in your jurisdiction).</li>
</ul>
Upgrading from earlier releases
<ul>
<li>Sites that used a previous development build may have data under the legacy option names (<code>pgr_geo_settings</code>) or table (<code>{prefix}pgr_geo_crawls</code>). On upgrade, the plugin copies or renames these automatically to the current names. Public URLs (<code>*.md</code>, <code>sitemap-llm.xml</code>, <code>llms.txt</code>, <code>publirank-llms.txt</code>) are unchanged.</li>
</ul>
Optional checks in the admin
<ul>
<li>The “Verify llms.txt” tool uses <code>wp_remote_get()</code> against your own site’s public URL to compare the HTTP response. No third-party analytics service is involved.</li>
</ul>
