<p>The <strong>md4AI</strong> plugin provides a powerful, multi-layered approach to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).</p>
<h3>1. Automatic AI Bot Detection (Zero-Config)</h3>
<p>md4AI automatically detects requests from a comprehensive list of known AI agents (like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, etc.) and serves them a lightweight, on-the-fly Markdown version of your content instead of the standard HTML theme. This ensures a clean, parsable data feed for LLMs right out of the box.</p>
<h3>2. Per-Post Custom Markdown (Metabox)</h3>
<p>The plugin adds a new metabox to your post and page editor, giving you full control over the AI-optimized version of your content.<br />
Serving an md version of the website is particular useful if your website has editors like Elementor / Beaver Builder / Divi Builder / other div bloated editors because bots usually skips complex and too much nested content.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Generate Custom Markdown:</strong> Convert your post’s content into Markdown with one click.</li>
<li><strong>Manually Edit:</strong> Modify and enhance the Markdown to be exactly as you want AIs to see it.</li>
<li><strong>(Optional) Enhance with AI:</strong> If you also use the <strong><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-services/" rel="ugc">AI Services</a></strong> plugin, you can use the “Generate with AI” button to automatically add FAQs, discussion questions, or key takeaways extracted from your post.</li>
<li><strong>Serve Enhanced Content:</strong> When an AI bot visits this <em>specific post</em>, it will be served your new, custom-tailored Markdown version, giving it far richer data.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Fallback:</strong> If you don’t create a custom version, the plugin falls back to the automatic on-the-fly conversion.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Site-Wide AI Instructions (llms.txt)</h3>
<p>The plugin adds a new main page under ‘Utilities’ with dedicated tabs for configuration and insights. From here, you can create and manage a <code>llms.txt</code> file for your entire site.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What is <code>llms.txt</code>?</strong> This is a file, similar to <code>robots.txt</code>, that provides general instructions, context, and useful links to AI crawlers. It’s a new standard to help guide LLMs in understanding your site’s content and purpose.</li>
<li><strong>Manage Content:</strong> Use the settings page to write your <code>llms.txt</code> content, which will then be served automatically to bots that look for it.</li>
<li><strong>Learn More:</strong> You can find more details on this new standard at <a href="https://llmstxt.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://llmstxt.org/</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>This combination gives you full control, from automatic optimization to granular, AI-enhanced, per-post content and site-wide AI directives.</p>
<h3>4. GEO/AIO Insights & Validation</h3>
<p>The dedicated GEO/AIO Insights tab provides a unique validation mechanism for your site’s AI presence, offering measurable scores (0-100) on how well your brand is understood by Generative Engines.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Validation Process</strong>: We ask a Large Language Model (LLM) di completare una “scheda di conoscenza” sul tuo sito (ad esempio, il nome del brand, gli argomenti principali e le categorie di prodotto).</li>
<li><strong>Ground Truth Check</strong>: The AI response is immediately compared with real data extracted from your WordPress database (e.g., site title, author names, WooCommerce categories)</li>
<li><strong>Final Score</strong>: Based on this cross-check, the insight provides a score for brand identity and technical relevance, highlighting exactly where the AI provided incorrect or insufficient data (hallucinations or missing data).</li>
</ul>
