## Description

**Botpass makes your WordPress content visible, readable and citable by AI.** Search
is shifting from “ten blue links” to AI answers. Botpass prepares your content so
AI crawlers and Large Language Models (LLMs) can understand and cite it — and tells
you how you are doing with an actionable GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) score.

When an AI crawler visits your site, Botpass detects it in real time and serves 
a clean, machine-readable version of your content (Markdown with structured metadata)
instead of heavy HTML. Human visitors keep seeing your normal site.

#### ✨ Why Botpass is different

Most plugins in this space only generate a static `llms.txt` file. Botpass goes 
further:

 * **Real-time AI crawler detection** — identifies AI bots by user-agent and request
   signals and serves machine-optimized content through content negotiation.
 * **Clean Markdown delivery (M2M)** — converts your pages into LLM-friendly Markdown
   with YAML frontmatter and AI instructions.
 * **Structured data (JSON-LD)** — injects Schema.org markup so machines understand
   entities, authorship and relationships.
 * **llms.txt generation** — a complete, standards-aligned index of your content
   for LLMs.
 * **GEO Score** — a per-post score with concrete recommendations to improve how
   AI engines read and cite you.
 * **Fan-out coverage** — anticipates the sub-queries AI engines fan out from a 
   single prompt and prepares your content to answer each one, widening how often
   you are retrieved and cited.
 * **Semantic llms.txt with pillar content** — builds a meaning-aware llms.txt organized
   around pillar pages and topic clusters, so LLMs understand your site’s structure
   and topical authority, not just a flat list of URLs.

#### ⭐ Key features

 * 🕷️ Automatic detection of 50+ AI crawlers, autonomous agents and stealth bots
 * 📝 HTML to Markdown conversion optimized for machines
 * ⚡ Faster delivery to AI crawlers through intelligent content caching
 * 🗂️ llms.txt and llms-full.txt endpoints, plus per-page Markdown
 * 🧩 JSON-LD / Schema.org injection
 * ✅ Author authority and fact-check signals (EEAT) to reduce AI hallucination
 * 🏷️ Enriched metadata (author, categories, tags, language) in the AI output
 * 📊 GEO scoring and actionable recommendations per post
 * 🎛️ Per-post editorial control to exclude any content from AI optimization
 * 🤝 Works alongside your existing SEO plugin
 * 🔀 Fan-out coverage to match the sub-queries AI engines generate from a single
   prompt
 * 🧠 Semantic llms.txt with pillar content for topic-cluster authority
 * 🪶 Lightweight: heavy processing runs on the Botpass service, not on your server

#### ⚙️ How it works (Serviceware)

Botpass is the official WordPress client for the Botpass service. The plugin detects
AI crawlers and delegates content processing (cleaning, Markdown conversion, enrichment
and scoring) to the Botpass API. This keeps your site fast and your output always
up to date. After installing, choose a Pro or Agency plan (7-day free trial) on 
our website and connect your API key to link your site to the service. See “External
services” below for the data that is processed.**Botpass makes your WordPress content

## FAQ

### 🤖 What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is the practice of optimizing content so generative AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini,
Perplexity, Claude and others) can find, understand and cite it. Botpass measures
and helps you improve your GEO.

### 📄 What is llms.txt?

llms.txt is a proposed standard file that gives LLMs a clean map of your site’s 
content. Botpass generates and keeps it updated automatically.

Botpass detects 50+ AI crawlers and LLM user-agents across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google,
Perplexity, Meta, Apple, Amazon, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Cohere and more — including
autonomous agents (ChatGPT-Agent, Operator, Gemini Deep Research) and stealth bots
that disguise themselves as regular browsers.

### 🔌 Does it work with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?

Yes. Botpass complements traditional SEO plugins. They optimize for classic search
engines; Botpass optimizes for AI engines and crawlers.

### 👀 Will it change what my human visitors see?

No. Human visitors see your normal site. Only detected AI crawlers receive the machine-
optimized version.

### 🔑 Do I need to create an account or enter an API key?

External services” for exactly what is sent and for links to our Terms and Privacy
Policy.

### 🏢 Do you offer an Agency plan with white-label reports?

for multiple clients. You can request custom, white-label reports featuring your
agency’s logo to share results with your clients.
