About this plugin
Be Found and Cited by AI.
For a long time, the goal was to master SEO and rank on Google. Now the game has changed: with GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), your site can be found and cited by AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and others.
GEO Rank Optimizer covers both sides of AI search. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is about being the source a generative engine cites by name. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is about structuring your content so those engines can lift it as the direct answer.
This plugin is the AI SEO layer that handles both, on top of whatever you already do for Google.
Who it is for
This plugin is built for bloggers and publishers who want their articles quoted instead of ignored, WooCommerce stores that want their products named when someone asks an AI for a recommendation, agencies running AI visibility for client sites, and anyone who wants to know whether AI crawlers are actually reading their content.
It is designed to sit alongside your existing SEO plugin, not replace it. txt after those plugins run, so it never overwrites what they wrote.
With the GEO Rank Optimizer plugin:
- A GEO Score panel right in the post editor. Open any post, click Analyze, and the sidebar panel scores it against 40+ criteria and lists exactly what to fix — no leaving the editor, no separate dashboard, no account to connect.
- A GEO Score column on your Posts list. See at a glance which articles are ready to be cited and which are dragging your site down, and fix the weakest ones first.
- Full GEO Diagnostics for each post across 8 categories, with practical improvement recommendations.
- AI Bot Tracker — monitor which AI bots are visiting your site, how often, and which pages they read.
- Automatic generation of llm-full.txt, llms.txt, ai.txt, and robots.txt — the files AI models read to understand your site.
- AI bot access control via robots.txt.
- Structured Schema Markup and Open Graph generation for posts.
- Agent-readiness check for the emerging ACP and UCP manifests (see below).
- Dashboard with your site””s average score, score history, and lists of your highest and lowest performing posts.
- Dashboard export and public sharing.
- Competitor analysis for AI visibility.
No complex setup required: install, activate, and your site starts speaking the language of AI.
The future of search isn’t a link. It’s a citation.

It runs the same check against any competitor you enter, so you can see who in your market is already agent-ready and who is not. This is still an emerging standard, which is exactly why it is worth knowing where you stand before your competitors do.
