Want ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews citing your WordPress site? AEO God Mode gives you every signal those engines look for. Free forever for the basics. Pro at <a href="https://aeogodmode.io" rel="nofollow ugc">https://aeogodmode.io</a> if you want to measure who’s actually citing you.
This plugin handles Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). Also called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI Optimization (AIO), AI SEO, LLM SEO, Generative AI Optimization (GAIO), AEOSEO, ASEO, AI Search Optimization, ChatGPT SEO. Same job, different acronyms. Get your content structured, accessible, and trusted by the AI engines that are quietly replacing search results.
<h4>🚨 Why Your Site Is Invisible to AI Right Now</h4>
Yoast and Rank Math were built for Google in 2015. They have no idea what an AI answer engine wants. Your site probably has no AI bot allowlist, no schema for AI to parse, no E-E-A-T author signals, no answer-shaped content, no citation tracking. ChatGPT and Perplexity skip you and cite your competitors instead.
AEO God Mode fixes that. It runs alongside Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, or All in One SEO. Imports their settings on install. Adds the AI visibility layer none of them cover. Never overwrites your titles, meta, canonicals, or sitemaps.
<h4>🆓 What You Get For Free (No Account Required)</h4>
✅ AI Crawler Allowlist (18 bots). Choose which AI engines can use your content. Allow ChatGPT and Perplexity, block the rest, do whatever you want. See screenshot 2.
✅ llms.txt Generator. Auto-writes a machine-readable summary of your most important content. Acts as a “welcome mat” for AI agents that read it during inference (a proposed standard, not a hard requirement, but useful when AI agents do honour it). See screenshot 9.
✅ Schema Engine (FAQ, HowTo, Article, Product, Organization, LocalBusiness, Speakable, more). Auto-tags your content so AI knows what each page is. See screenshot 4.
✅ Schema Conflict Detector. Already running Yoast or Rank Math? Never get duplicate or fighting schema. The detector defers to your existing plugin. See screenshot 4.
✅ Schema Validator. Pass, warn, or fail per page. Fix broken structured data before AI engines or Google penalise you.
✅ Content Gap Scanner. Finds pages without FAQs, schema, or answer-shaped content. Action list with one-click fixes. See screenshot 5.
✅ Editor Panel. Edit AEO settings inside the Gutenberg sidebar where you write. No bouncing between editors.
✅ AI Metadata Generator (10 free credits/month). Writes Search and LLM-optimised meta titles, meta descriptions, and product descriptions in 5 styles. Run on a single post or bulk-generate across many. See screenshot 10.
✅ Robots.txt Manager. Generates the AI bot rules some engines need to find you at all.
✅ AI HTTP Headers. Server-level AI directives some engines respect even when they ignore robots.txt.
✅ AI Crawler Log. Every AI bot visit timestamped. Proof ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are crawling you. Or proof they’re not, so you can fix it.
✅ AEO Health Dashboard (also a WordPress widget). One score for AI readiness, right on your wp-admin home. See screenshot 1.
✅ Setup Wizard (5 screens, under 5 minutes). Auto-detects Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, imports settings. See screenshot 8.
✅ Yoast / Rank Math / SEOPress compatibility. Runs alongside whichever SEO plugin you use. Your titles, meta, canonicals, and sitemaps stay untouched.
<h4>⭐ What Pro Adds (Get a license at https://aeogodmode.io)</h4>
⚡ Citation Tracker. The point of all this. Did ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude cite your site this week? Citation Tracker queries all four AI engines directly with your customer queries and reports who got cited. You or your competitors. Real proof across every major engine, not just two. No other AEO plugin on WordPress measures this. See screenshot 3.
⚡ Citability Score (0 to 100 per page). Predicts how likely AI engines will cite each page. Based on the 10 signals AI engines actually look for. Per-page action list tells you exactly what to fix.
⚡ AI Referral Traffic Analytics. Visitors arriving from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com, claude.ai tracked as a separate traffic source. Now you can prove how much revenue is coming from AI citations.
⚡ E-E-A-T Author Schema. Author credentials, expertise, education, and trust signals. Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT cite sources with these signals. Without them, your authors look anonymous to AI. See screenshot 6.
⚡ Google Search Console Integration. Indexing status, AI Query Explorer, and Fan-Out Cluster detection inside your AEO dashboard. See screenshot 7.
⚡ Internal Link Builder. AI tells you exactly where to add internal links so AI engines see strong topic clusters and cite you as the topic expert.
⚡ Section Index. AI engines cite paragraphs, not whole pages. Section Index analyses every H2 and H3 so you know which sections are quote-worthy and which need rewriting.
⚡ Bulk Actions. Fix AEO across hundreds of posts in minutes from your normal Posts and Pages screens. Bulk-regenerate metadata, bulk-add FAQ schema, bulk-refresh llms.txt entries.
⚡ Unlimited AI Metadata Generation. No 5-credit-per-month cap. Bulk-regenerate titles and descriptions across hundreds of posts. Test multiple styles across categories.
⚡ AI Crawler Intelligence. 30-day activity charts, Top Crawled Pages, and Blind Spots report (the pages AI bots are ignoring).
<h4>🤖 AI Engines Supported</h4>
Every major AI search engine, every major AI crawler:
✅ ChatGPT and ChatGPT Search (OpenAI). GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User 
✅ Perplexity AI. PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User 
✅ Claude (Anthropic). ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User 
✅ Google AI Overviews and Gemini. Google-Extended 
✅ Microsoft Copilot and Bing AI. Bingbot 
✅ Meta AI (LLaMA). Meta-ExternalAgent 
✅ DeepSeek. DeepSeekBot 
✅ Apple Intelligence. Applebot-Extended 
✅ xAI Grok and every emerging answer engine
18 AI crawler patterns out of the box. New engines added as they launch.
<h4>💪 Why AEO God Mode Beats Other AEO Plugins</h4>
Most AEO plugins for WordPress generate a basic llms.txt URL list and call it a day. AEO God Mode goes further:
✅ Real citation verification (Pro). We ask the actual AI engines who they’re citing. Other plugins guess from crawler logs.
✅ Files live on YOUR site (Free). Your llms.txt, schema, and metadata served from your own domain. Not piped through somebody else’s cloud.
✅ Free forever, no account (Free). The whole AEO toolkit works without signing up. Other plugins gate basic llms.txt behind a SaaS account.
✅ Citability Score (Pro). Per-page predictive scoring no other AEO plugin offers.
✅ Built-in E-E-A-T author schema (Pro). Proper author authority markup. Other plugins skip this entirely.
✅ Yoast / Rank Math compatibility (Free). Imports your existing settings. Never overwrites your titles or meta.
<h4>👥 Who AEO God Mode Is For</h4>
✅ SaaS companies wanting ChatGPT to recommend their software 
✅ Local businesses wanting to appear in AI location answers 
✅ E-commerce stores (WooCommerce + EDD supported) wanting AI shopping visibility 
✅ Agencies managing AEO across many client sites 
✅ Publishers and media wanting to be quoted as a source 
✅ Solo creators and consultants finally getting visible in AI search
<h4>🛠️ Want a Team to Just Run This For You?</h4>
AEO God Mode is the technical layer. Metronyx AI is the team that runs the strategy on top.
We’re a managed SEO + AEO agency built by the same crew who built this plugin. Not a “we’ll set up your llms.txt” service. Full-stack work: AI Visibility Audits, technical SEO, schema engineering, AI crawler config, AEO-BLUF content (Bottom Line Up Front, engineered for AI citation extraction), content rewrites, brand mentions and entity building across Reddit and YouTube, competitor citation tracking, link building, and weekly reporting.
What’s different: smart onboarding. We start executing day one, not after a month of paperwork. Most clients see citations climbing within 90 days. Typical agencies take 12 months to even start.
Every client gets a self-contained dashboard tracking citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude in real time. No guessing what your agency is doing.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to external services in the following ways:
License Validation (Pro) 
Requests sent to aeogodmode.io to validate Pro license keys and check for Pro plugin updates. Only the license key and site URL are transmitted. No personal data sent.
AI Content Generation & Analysis 
When you manually start an AI generation task (like creating AI Metadata), the plugin securely sends the post content (title and body text) to aeogodmode.io/wp-json/asgm/v1/ai-assist for processing. Free users get 10 credits per month (no rollover). Pro users get 500 credits per month and unlock the full AI feature set (FAQ extraction, Citability AI, Answer-First content suggestions, advanced schema, Internal Link Builder, GSC integrations). Only activates when you explicitly click the ‘Generate’ or ‘Fix’ button on a post.
Citation Tracking (Pro) 
The Citation Tracker queries the Perplexity, OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google (Gemini), and Anthropic (Claude) APIs to check whether your domain appears in AI-generated responses. Requires explicit opt-in. Only activates after a valid Pro license is entered. API keys stored encrypted in the WordPress database with AES-256 using your WordPress salts. Never shared with any third party.
Google Search Console (Pro) 
The GSC integration routes OAuth token exchanges through a proxy at aeogodmode.io to securely connect your Google Search Console account. Only OAuth tokens and GSC API requests are proxied. No site content transmitted through this proxy.

RankReady is a WordPress plugin built for the AI search layer — the answers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews show before anyone reaches a blue link. Drop it in alongside your existing SEO plugin (Rank Math, Yoast, AIOSEO — any of them) and start showing up in AI answers and citations. No conflicts. No replacement. Zero frontend bloat.
<a href="https://store.posimyth.com/plugins/rankready/?ref=rankreadyreadme" rel="nofollow ugc">Visit the official RankReady page →</a>
Traditional SEO plugins optimize for Google’s classic results. RankReady adds the layer above them: the AI SEO signals — Google’s Open Knowledge Format (OKF), llms.txt, FAQ schema, Markdown endpoints, AI crawler controls — that decide whether AI engines read and cite your content. This is generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) for WordPress, built to work with the SEO plugin you already use.
<h3>A quick walkthrough of the whole plugin.</h3>
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JA-rEwMbqNo?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
Built by <a href="https://posimyth.com/?ref=rankreadyreadme" rel="nofollow ugc">POSIMYTH Inc.</a> — the team behind The Plus Addons for Elementor, NexterWP, and UiChemy.
<h3>Coexists with your SEO plugin — zero frontend impact</h3>
Install RankReady, optionally pick an LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or DeepSeek) for the AI Summary and FAQ generators, and you’re set. It auto-detects your active SEO plugin and never emits duplicate schema — your existing Yoast or Rank Math setup keeps working exactly as before. All AI generation runs in the WordPress admin, so there are no API calls on page load, no third-party scripts, and no extra requests for your visitors. Core Web Vitals are unaffected.
<h3>llms.txt — the AI-native sitemap</h3>
RankReady serves the <a href="https://llmstxt.org" rel="nofollow ugc">llmstxt.org</a> standard at <code>/llms.txt</code> (a curated index of your best content) and <code>/llms-full.txt</code> (the full content concatenated as Markdown). AI crawlers read these files first to understand your site. Configurable post types, max post count, category and tag exclusions, and a per-domain brand identity (site name, summary, about section) you control from the AI Crawlers tab. Multilingual sites get hreflang Link headers when WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress, Weglot, or GTranslate is detected.
<h3>AI Summary generator with Speakable schema</h3>
Generate “Key Takeaways” for any post or page via your chosen LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek). The summary injects above your content as a styled block with Speakable schema — the JSON-LD that voice assistants read aloud. Use the Regenerate button in the post editor, the Gutenberg block, or the Elementor widget. Unlimited manual generations.
<h3>FAQ schema generator with DataForSEO</h3>
A strong signal for AI Overviews. RankReady can query DataForSEO for the real “People Also Ask” questions ranking for your post’s focus keyword, then has your chosen LLM write the answers. Output is FAQPage JSON-LD — the structured data Google AI Overviews and Perplexity frequently cite over plain article text. Don’t use DataForSEO? Type your own questions and let the LLM answer them. Unlimited manual generations. Setup guide in the FAQ section below.
<h3>Author Box with basic E-E-A-T schema</h3>
E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) is what AI models use to decide which sources to trust. RankReady ships a basic Author Box — name, job title, employer, bio, headshot, and basic sameAs links — with Article, Speakable, and FAQPage schema. It auto-detects Rank Math, Yoast, and AIOSEO and skips duplicate output. Display it anywhere via the Gutenberg block or the Elementor widget.
<h3>Markdown endpoints for AI agents</h3>
Every published post and page is served as clean Markdown at <code>/post-slug.md</code> with YAML frontmatter (title, author, dates). AI agents — Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, custom clients — read Markdown faster than HTML. Content negotiation via <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> lets crawlers fetch the format they prefer with no URL changes.
<h3>Open Knowledge Format (OKF) — Google’s standard for AI agents</h3>
<a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog" rel="nofollow ugc">Google’s Open Knowledge Format</a> (OKF v0.1) is a vendor-neutral way to hand your whole site to AI agents as a clean, linked bundle of Markdown — instead of making them scrape your HTML. Turn it on from the AI Crawlers tab and RankReady serves a complete OKF bundle at <code>/okf/</code>:
<ul>
<li><code>/okf/index.md</code> — a manifest of every page, grouped by type, each linked to its concept file</li>
<li><code>/okf/{slug}.md</code> — one Markdown concept per post, tagged with type, description, canonical URL and tags</li>
<li><code>/okf/log.md</code> — a dated change history</li>
<li>One-click <code>.zip</code> export for upload to Google Cloud Knowledge Catalog or a Git repository</li>
</ul>
The bundle is generated entirely on your own server (nothing is sent to Google or anyone else), refreshes automatically whenever you publish or edit, and respects your noindex and per-post exclusion settings — noindexed content never enters the bundle.
<h3>MCP via the WordPress Abilities API</h3>
RankReady registers read-only abilities with the <a href="https://modelcontextprotocol.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">Model Context Protocol</a> through the WordPress Abilities API (<code>wp_register_ability()</code>). On WordPress 7.0 these are surfaced by the official MCP Adapter — no bundled MCP server, no extra service to run.
<h3>Insights — AI referrals, bot activity, freshness</h3>
The Insights tab gives you real, server-side analytics with no third-party scripts:
<ul>
<li>Training & Citation Bots — Which AI crawlers fetched which pages (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended, and more). Each citation-bot hit is a live AI answer that retrieved your page.</li>
<li>Real AI Referrals — Humans clicking through from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, and copilot.microsoft.com, tracked via the HTTP Referer header.</li>
<li>Content Freshness scanner — Buckets posts into Stale, Going stale, and Fresh, with one-click <code>dateModified</code> refresh to signal recency to AI crawlers.</li>
</ul>
All counts are stored locally in your own tables — never sent to POSIMYTH.
<h3>31 AI crawler controls + auto robots.txt</h3>
Granular allow/block toggles for 31 AI bots: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended, Bytespider, CCBot, FacebookBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, Applebot-Extended, DuckAssistBot, YouBot, AI2Bot, Diffbot, Cohere-ai, Kagibot, and more. Auto-syncs your choices to <code>robots.txt</code> — both the WordPress virtual <code>robots.txt</code> and a physical <code>ABSPATH/robots.txt</code> if another plugin intercepts the URL. Plus Content Signals (<code>ai-train</code>, <code>search</code>, <code>ai-input</code> directives per <a href="https://contentsignals.org" rel="nofollow ugc">contentsignals.org</a>).
<h3>Cache compatibility + Diagnostics</h3>
RankReady persists cache-bypass entries to each cache plugin’s stored configuration so server-level caches honour the bypass before PHP runs — tested with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Breeze, SG Optimizer, Hummingbird, Cache Enabler, Comet Cache, Swift Performance, NitroPack, Perfmatters, Cloudflare APO, Pantheon, Kinsta, and WP Engine. The Diagnostics card runs live endpoint probes, detects active SEO plugins, checks rewrite rules and REST routes, scans for cache conflicts, and gives you a one-click plain-text report for support — every failure ships with a one-line fix.
<h3>Coming soon</h3>
A companion add-on (in development) will layer advanced AI SEO automation on top of the free build:
<ul>
<li>Auto-generate AI Summaries and FAQs on publish</li>
<li>Bulk-generate summaries and FAQs across your whole library</li>
<li>HowTo and ItemList JSON-LD</li>
<li>Advanced Person / E-E-A-T schema (credentials, education, certifications, memberships, awards, Wikidata / ORCID / Scholar / LinkedIn, editorial & fact-check policies, Author Trust Panel)</li>
<li>Custom post type support beyond posts and pages</li>
<li>Headless / WPGraphQL API for decoupled front ends</li>
</ul>
These appear as “Coming soon” placeholders in the plugin and ship no code in the free build. Everything listed above the “Coming soon” heading is fully free, with no caps on manual generation.

<h3>Privacy & Third-Party Services</h3>
RankReady is privacy-respecting by default. POSIMYTH does not collect, store, or transmit any data from your site. No telemetry. No analytics. No “phone home”. Your API keys are stored only in your own <code>wp_options</code> table.
The plugin contacts third-party services only when you explicitly enter API credentials AND trigger a generation action. Each service is opt-in and uses your own API key:
<ul>
<li>OpenAI (<a href="https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Use</a> · <a href="https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>) — When you generate an AI Summary or FAQ with OpenAI as your provider, the post’s title and body text are sent to <code>https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions</code> using your own API key. The generated response is stored as post meta on your site. Nothing is sent without an explicit click from you.</li>
<li>Anthropic Claude (<a href="https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Use</a> · <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>) — When Anthropic is your provider, the same post text is sent to <code>https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages</code> using your own API key. Same opt-in trigger; same one-shot use.</li>
<li>Google Gemini (<a href="https://ai.google.dev/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">API Terms</a> · <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>) — When Gemini is your provider, the same post text is sent to <code>https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/<model>:generateContent</code> using your own API key.</li>
<li>DeepSeek (<a href="https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-terms-of-use.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Use</a> · <a href="https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-privacy-policy.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>) — When DeepSeek is your provider, the same post text is sent to <code>https://api.deepseek.com/chat/completions</code> using your own API key.</li>
<li>DataForSEO (<a href="https://dataforseo.com/terms-of-service" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a> · <a href="https://dataforseo.com/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>) — When you trigger the FAQ Generator, the post’s focus keyword is sent to <code>https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/google/organic/live/advanced</code> using your own DataForSEO Login plus Password. Only the keyword string is sent, not the article text. Discovered questions are stored as post meta on your site.</li>
</ul>
No other endpoints are contacted. The plugin never sends any data on its own initiative — every outbound request is the direct result of an administrator action.
