<p><strong>AI search engines are the new front door to your business.</strong> ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot, Meta AI, and Apple Intelligence answer questions your customers ask every day — but they can only recommend your website if they can understand it.</p>
<p><strong>GEO Schema for WordPress</strong> adds the structured data and AI-readable files that make your site visible to generative AI. It works alongside your existing SEO plugin (Yoast, RankMath, AIOSEO) — never replacing, always enhancing.</p>
<p>Other plugins charge $49-$299/year for schema features. This plugin offers them <strong>free</strong>.</p>
<h4>Rich JSON-LD Schema That Goes Beyond Yoast</h4>
<p>Most SEO plugins output the same generic <code>WebPage</code> + <code>Organization</code> schema on every page. AI can’t tell your About page from your Contact page from your Services page. This plugin fixes that:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>98 official schema.org business types</strong> — Restaurant, LegalService, NonprofitOrganization, MedicalBusiness, and 94 more across 13 categories</li>
<li><strong>22+ page-specific schema types</strong> — AboutPage, ContactPage, FAQPage, Service, Event, Product, Recipe, HowTo, Course, and more</li>
<li><strong>Auto-detection</strong> — reads your page slugs, titles, and content to choose the right schema type automatically</li>
<li><strong>Per-page override</strong> — pick a different schema type from the editor for any page</li>
<li><strong>FAQ extraction</strong> — automatically detects question headings and generates FAQPage schema with Q&A pairs</li>
<li><strong>Video schema</strong> — auto-detects YouTube/Vimeo embeds and generates VideoObject schema with zero configuration</li>
<li><strong>Recipe, HowTo, Course</strong> — guided field entry for ingredients, steps, cook times, delivery modes, and pricing</li>
</ul>
<h4>Custom Schema Builder — 18 Types, No Code Required</h4>
<p>Build any schema.org type through a guided form — no raw JSON, no guesswork:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Creative Work</strong> — SoftwareApplication, Book, Movie, MusicRecording, MusicAlbum</li>
<li><strong>Podcast & Media</strong> — PodcastSeries, PodcastEpisode</li>
<li><strong>Business & Commerce</strong> — JobPosting, Offer, Brand</li>
<li><strong>People & Organizations</strong> — Person, Organization</li>
<li><strong>Review & Rating</strong> — Review, AggregateRating</li>
<li><strong>Education</strong> — OnlineCourse</li>
<li><strong>Vehicles & Real Estate</strong> — Vehicle, RealEstateListing</li>
</ul>
<p>Every field has help text explaining what it is and why AI cares. Required fields are visible by default; optional fields are behind a “Show all properties” toggle.</p>
<h4>Multiple Schema Types Per Page</h4>
<p>Add more than one schema type to a single page — like Service + FAQPage on a service page that has an FAQ section. Research shows FAQ schema combined with a primary page type is one of the highest-impact combinations for AI citations.</p>
<h4>Schema Templates</h4>
<p>Create a schema configuration once and apply it to dozens of pages. Update the template, and every linked page updates automatically. Or detach a page to edit it independently. Perfect for agencies and sites with many similar pages.</p>
<h4>WooCommerce Product Schema</h4>
<p>When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically generates rich Product schema on every product page:</p>
<ul>
<li>Price, currency, availability (InStock/OutOfStock/BackOrder)</li>
<li>Product images and gallery (up to 6)</li>
<li>Brand (auto-detected from attributes, taxonomy, or default)</li>
<li>Customer reviews and aggregate star ratings</li>
<li>SKU, weight, GTIN/UPC/EAN</li>
<li>Simple products (Offer) and variable products (AggregateOffer with price range)</li>
<li>Supplement WooCommerce’s built-in schema or replace it entirely</li>
</ul>
<h4>Auto-Generated llms.txt</h4>
<p>The <code>llms.txt</code> specification (llmstxt.org) is like <code>robots.txt</code> for AI — it tells language models what your site contains. This plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Auto-generates <code>/llms.txt</code> from your site name, pages, and organization details</li>
<li>Auto-generates <code>/llms-full.txt</code> with recent blog posts included</li>
<li>Lets you override the content manually when you want full control</li>
<li>Updates dynamically — add a page, it appears in llms.txt automatically</li>
</ul>
<h4>AI Bot Manager</h4>
<p>Control which of the 9 major AI crawlers can access your site — GPTBot (ChatGPT), Google-Extended (Gemini), PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, FacebookBot (Meta AI), Applebot-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider, and cohere-ai. Each bot has educational context explaining the trade-off of blocking. Default: all allowed.</p>
<h4>GEO Readiness Checklist</h4>
<p>A 12-step dashboard widget that tracks your AI search readiness — organization data, schema coverage, AI crawler access, FAQ pages, author bylines, content depth, and more. Links directly to the settings you need to complete.</p>
<h4>Who Is This For?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Local businesses</strong> — restaurants, clinics, law firms, contractors</li>
<li><strong>Nonprofits</strong> — churches, charities, community organizations</li>
<li><strong>Service businesses</strong> — agencies, consultancies, SaaS companies</li>
<li><strong>E-commerce</strong> — WooCommerce stores of any size</li>
<li><strong>Content publishers</strong> — blogs, podcasts, courses, media sites</li>
<li><strong>Any WordPress site</strong> where AI search visibility matters</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to <strong>GEO Schema</strong> in the admin menu</li>
<li>Fill in your organization details (name, address, phone, business type)</li>
<li>The plugin immediately starts outputting rich schema on every page</li>
<li>Visit <code>/llms.txt</code> to see your auto-generated AI overview</li>
</ol>
<p>Schema is output at <code>wp_head</code> priority 2 — right alongside Yoast (priority 1). Both coexist perfectly. No conflicts, no database writes on the frontend, no external API calls, no JavaScript overhead.</p>

Known Agents – Track AI Bots and Crawlers, Block Scrapers, Analyze LLM Referral Traffic


Please remind me in a month to provide an update on the performance of this plugin on a heavily visited website.


Begun my review...


An easy improvement would be to link to the settings page from the plugin entry like other plugins, other than that, in general this plugin and its online dashboard is generally well thought out and useful. My website is small and has limited resources that get overrun by crawlers making it unavailable. This plugin helps identify the culprits and decide if I should block them or not. For free you can block them in robots.txt, as I have a physical file, the plugin won't touch that but its easy to add manually. It will report those crawlers that ignore the robots file and the paid version will enforce those rules, but I just update ".htaccess" myself.



I'm reducing my rating by a star since you won't get much "Agent Analytics" (per month) and for my tiny site it quickly ran out, we are a NFP so don't have money to burn on subscriptions.  The the description for the plan incorrectly states "Unlimited Agent Analytics" when the plan only includes 100,000 events.


Very Useful Plugin


Very good: shows all bot-crawlers.Our website was sometimes down due to bot-crawlers, with this tool it is easy to solve. Very good logging of bots.This was the only good plugin I could find for this purpose.Some bots ignore robots.txt. So I manually changed htaccess, that worked very good.


Very very helpful
