GEO Optimizer
for WordPress

🌐What is GEO Optimizer?

GEO Optimizer is a WordPress plugin built for the new era of AI-driven search. Where traditional SEO targets Google's algorithm, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) targets the large language models that power ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

⚙️Installation & Activation

GEO Optimizer is a standard WordPress plugin. Installation takes under 2 minutes and requires no coding.

System Requirements

🔑Settings

All plugin settings live under GEO Optimizer → Settings. The page is divided into three sections.

Section 1 — AI Writer API Key

Section 2 — Brand & Author Identity

Section 3 — Technical GEO Features

✨Auto AI-Ready Writer

The AI Writer enhances your existing WordPress posts to be fully optimised for AI citation. It uses your selected AI provider to rewrite content, add structured elements, and score the result — all without leaving the WordPress admin.

How to Use

Enhancement Options

GEO Score Calculation

Revert to Original

Before overwriting a post, the plugin automatically backs up the original content to the post meta key _geo_opt_original_content. The Revert button restores this backup and removes all AI enhancement markers.

✍️Create New Post

The Create New Post button on the Auto AI-Ready Writer page lets you generate a brand-new, fully AI-optimised blog post from scratch — just provide a keyword and the AI writes everything.

Workflow

Preview Mode

The preview panel has two tabs:

⚡AutoPilot

AutoPilot automatically re-optimises your existing posts on a configurable schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly) so your content stays AI-ready without any manual effort.

How AutoPilot Works

AutoPilot Settings

Run Now Button

The sticky Run Now button at the top of the AutoPilot page triggers an immediate manual run. It bypasses:

• The age threshold — all published posts qualify regardless of modification date
• The manual-exclusion filter — manually enhanced posts are included too

The configured Posts Per Run limit is still respected.

Run History Log

Every run (scheduled or manual) is logged in the Run History table showing: timestamp, status (Success / Partial / Error), number of posts processed, post titles, and any error messages. The log retains the last 30 entries. Use the Clear Log button to reset it.

🏷️Schema Markup (JSON-LD)

GEO Optimizer automatically injects structured data in JSON-LD format into every page. This helps AI engines understand who you are, what your content is about, and how to attribute it.

Schema Types Injected

Conflict Avoidance

The meta description injection automatically detects and skips if Yoast SEO or Rank Math are active, preventing duplicate meta tags.

❓FAQ Schema Auto-Detection

The plugin automatically detects FAQ content in your posts and wraps it in valid FAQPage JSON-LD schema — no manual tagging required.

How Detection Works

The plugin scans your post content using this pattern:

// Finds: H2/H3/H4 headings ending with "?" followed by paragraph text
/<h[2-4][^>]*>(.*?\?)<\/h[2-4]>(.*?)(?=<h[2-4]|$)/si

It finds up to 10 FAQ pairs per post. Answers are trimmed to 500 characters for the schema output.

How to Write FAQ-Compatible Content

<h3>What is Generative Engine Optimization?</h3>
<p>GEO is the practice of optimizing content to be cited and referenced
by AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity.</p>

💡Answer Capsule Shortcode

The [geo_answer] shortcode renders a highlighted summary box that AI engines can easily extract as a direct, citable answer to a query.

Attributes

Output

The shortcode renders a purple-accented styled box with a 💡 icon and the label as a heading. The content inside is sanitized via wp_kses_post().

🔗Breadcrumb Schema

Automatically injects a BreadcrumbList JSON-LD schema on single post pages, signalling content hierarchy to AI engines.

Schema Structure

{
  "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
  "itemListElement": [
    { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://yoursite.com" },
    { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Post Title", "item": "https://yoursite.com/post-slug" }
  ]
}

🤖AI Crawler Access

GEO Optimizer modifies your robots.txt to explicitly allow the crawlers used by major AI platforms to index your content.

📄llms.txt Generator

llms.txt is an emerging standard — a markdown file placed in your site root that lists your most important URLs in a format designed for LLMs to consume during training and indexing.

What the Generated File Contains

Auto-refresh with AutoPilot

When Auto-refresh llms.txt on Save is enabled in AutoPilot settings, the file is regenerated automatically whenever any post or page is published or updated — keeping it always current.

Manual Refresh

Go to GEO Optimizer → llms.txt and click Generate / Refresh. The page also shows live stats: pages count, posts count, total URLs, and the current file contents.

🔍GEO Audit

The GEO Audit page provides a detailed health check of your entire site's AI readiness — both technical configuration and per-post content scoring.

Technical Checks (7 checks)

Post AI Readiness Score

Shows the GEO Score (0–100) for the 15 most recent posts based on word count, FAQ presence, and Answer Capsule usage.

🧩Shortcode Reference

[geo_answer]

Bing Sitemap Ping

On every post publish, the plugin automatically pings Bing's indexing endpoint with your sitemap URL. This is throttled to once per hour using a WordPress transient. Since ChatGPT uses Bing's web index, this helps ensure new content reaches AI search engines faster.

🤖AI Providers

GEO Optimizer supports two AI providers. You can switch between them in Settings at any time. All features — AI Writer, Create New Post, and AutoPilot — use the active provider.
