About this plugin
People now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and AI agents instead of searching. If those tools cannot read or understand your site, they recommend someone else. RankRoot – AI Visibility gives your WordPress site the basics of AI search optimization (also called GEO or AEO) in one lightweight plugin, with no account and no limits.
What it does
- Dynamic llms.txt – Serves /llms.txt, a Markdown summary of your site and key pages that AI assistants can read in one request. Choose content types and how many items to list, add an “About your site” intro, exclude specific IDs. Noindex, private and password-protected content is left out automatically. Always up to date, nothing written to disk.
- Optional llms-full.txt – Publishes the plain-text content of your key pages at /llms-full.txt for AI tools that want full context.
- AI crawler controls for robots.txt – One-click presets: Allow AI search, block training, Allow all, Block all AI training or Block all AI bots. Covers OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Meta, Common Crawl, ByteDance, Amazon and DuckDuckGo user agents. Rules are appended to WordPress’s virtual robots.txt, and your existing rules are kept.
- Organization / WebSite JSON-LD – Helps AI engines name and describe your brand correctly (logo, social profiles via sameAs). Turns itself off automatically when Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress or similar already output it, so you never get duplicates.
- AI visibility checklist – A status page under Settings > AI Visibility checks, on your own server, that llms.txt is actually served, AI crawler rules are active, schema and a sitemap exist, HTTPS is on and “Discourage search engines” is off.
- Safe with existing files – If a physical llms.txt or robots.txt already exists (for example created by another plugin), it is never overwritten; you get a clear warning instead.
- Optional full audit – One button runs a free, deeper 0-100 audit on RankRoot and shows your score, category scores and top issues right in WordPress. Only runs when you click it.
Why this plugin
txt. Being cited by AI also depends on whether AI bots are allowed in, whether your brand is described with structured data, and whether everything is actually reachable. This plugin covers all of that in one place, checks it works, and stays out of the way of your SEO plugin.
Everything in the plugin is free and fully functional. No account, no tracking, no ads in your dashboard.

com). It is used only to show an optional audit score and list of issues on the settings page.
- When: only when an administrator clicks “Run full free audit on RankRoot” on Settings > AI Visibility. Nothing is sent on install, activation, a schedule, or to visitors.
- What is sent: your site’s home URL (for example https://example.com/ ) in a request to https://getrankroot.com/api/audit. RankRoot then fetches your publicly accessible pages, robots.txt, llms.txt and sitemap to compute the score. No personal data, user data, email address or WordPress version is sent.
- Results: the last result is stored in your WordPress database and deleted when the plugin is uninstalled. The “View full report” link opens your public report on getrankroot.com.
