Description
AI search engines are the new front door to your business. 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.
GEO Schema for WordPress 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.
Other plugins charge $49-$299/year for schema features. This plugin offers them free.
Rich JSON-LD Schema That Goes Beyond Yoast
Most SEO plugins output the same generic WebPage + Organization schema on every page. AI can’t tell your About page from your Contact page from your Services page. This plugin fixes that:
- 98 official schema.org business types — Restaurant, LegalService, NonprofitOrganization, MedicalBusiness, and 94 more across 13 categories
- 22+ page-specific schema types — AboutPage, ContactPage, FAQPage, Service, Event, Product, Recipe, HowTo, Course, and more
- Auto-detection — reads your page slugs, titles, and content to choose the right schema type automatically
- Per-page override — pick a different schema type from the editor for any page
- FAQ extraction — automatically detects question headings and generates FAQPage schema with Q&A pairs
- Video schema — auto-detects YouTube/Vimeo embeds and generates VideoObject schema with zero configuration
- Recipe, HowTo, Course — guided field entry for ingredients, steps, cook times, delivery modes, and pricing
Custom Schema Builder — 18 Types, No Code Required
Build any schema.org type through a guided form — no raw JSON, no guesswork:
- Creative Work — SoftwareApplication, Book, Movie, MusicRecording, MusicAlbum
- Podcast & Media — PodcastSeries, PodcastEpisode
- Business & Commerce — JobPosting, Offer, Brand
- People & Organizations — Person, Organization
- Review & Rating — Review, AggregateRating
- Education — OnlineCourse
- Vehicles & Real Estate — Vehicle, RealEstateListing
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.
Multiple Schema Types Per Page
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.
Schema Templates
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.
WooCommerce Product Schema
When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically generates rich Product schema on every product page:
- Price, currency, availability (InStock/OutOfStock/BackOrder)
- Product images and gallery (up to 6)
- Brand (auto-detected from attributes, taxonomy, or default)
- Customer reviews and aggregate star ratings
- SKU, weight, GTIN/UPC/EAN
- Simple products (Offer) and variable products (AggregateOffer with price range)
- Supplement WooCommerce’s built-in schema or replace it entirely
Auto-Generated llms.txt
The llms.txt specification (llmstxt.org) is like robots.txt for AI — it tells language models what your site contains. This plugin:
- Auto-generates
/llms.txtfrom your site name, pages, and organization details - Auto-generates
/llms-full.txtwith recent blog posts included - Lets you override the content manually when you want full control
- Updates dynamically — add a page, it appears in llms.txt automatically
AI Bot Manager
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.
GEO Readiness Checklist
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.

- Nonprofits — churches, charities, community organizations
- Service businesses — agencies, consultancies, SaaS companies

FAQ
-
Does this replace Yoast / RankMath?
-
No. This plugin supplements your existing SEO plugin. Yoast handles meta titles, descriptions, XML sitemaps, and basic schema. This plugin adds the specialized schema types, llms.txt, and AI bot management that SEO plugins don’t focus on. Both coexist without conflicts.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin adds a small JSON-LD block to each page’s
<head>— no database writes on the frontend, no external API calls, no JavaScript loaded for visitors. It works with every page cache. -
What is llms.txt?
-
It’s a proposed standard (llmstxt.org) that gives AI crawlers a structured overview of your site — like robots.txt for AI. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI systems can use it to understand your site without parsing all your HTML.
-
What is GEO?
-
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization — the practice of making websites visible and accurately represented by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically generates rich Product schema on every product page — price, availability, reviews, brand, images, and more. You can supplement WooCommerce’s built-in schema or replace it entirely.
-
Can I use multiple schema types on one page?
-
Yes. The “Additional Schema Types” feature lets you add multiple schema types to a single page. For example, a service page with an FAQ section can have both Service and FAQPage schema.
-
What is the Custom Schema Builder?
-
A guided form for building 18 schema.org types — SoftwareApplication, JobPosting, Person, Review, Vehicle, and more — without writing any JSON. Every field has help text explaining what it is and why AI cares about it.
-
What are Schema Templates?
-
Templates let you configure schema once and apply it to many pages. Update the template, and all linked pages update automatically. You can also detach a page to edit it independently.
-
What’s the difference between GEO Readiness and the full Citable Score™?
-
GEO Readiness is a free on-site checklist — it checks your schema configuration and basic setup. The full Citable Score™ (available at citable.dev) tests how AI actually cites your site across 7 platforms including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Copilot, Meta AI, and Apple Intelligence.
-
Does it work with page builders?
-
Yes. The plugin renders shortcodes via
do_shortcode()before analyzing content, so it works correctly with Avada/Fusion Builder, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, and native WordPress editors (Gutenberg + Classic). -
What happens when I uninstall?
-
All plugin data is cleanly removed — settings, per-page meta, schema templates, and transients. Nothing is left behind.
