Free WordPress Plugin built for AI engines to understand, reference, and recommend your website. ByTheWeb GEO bridges the gap between classic SEO and modern AI readiness, ensuring your content is structured, summarized, and optimized for AI crawlers and Answer Engines. ByTheWeb GEO is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Artificial Intelligence Optimization (AIO) plugin for WordPress. As search evolves from traditional links to AI-driven answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews), your website needs to adapt. ### Features #### AI Optimization (GEO) * **AI Readiness Score (GEO):** An algorithm that calculates a score from 0 to 100 based on crucial parameters like Short Answers, AI Summaries, FAQ Schema, content length (over 300 words), H2/H3 structure, recent updates (last 6 months), and Author Info. * **Short Answer (The Bottom Line):** A dedicated field to inject an abstract meta tag with a direct answer for AI engines. * **AI Summary (Key Facts):** A field to summarize key facts, injected as an ai- summary meta tag. * **FAQ Builder:** Create page/category-level FAQs that automatically generate hidden FAQ Schema for rich results. #### LLMs.txt Generator Prepare your site for Large Language Models using the new standard: * Automatically generate an `llms.txt` file at the root of your site. * Add a custom “Introduction” directly addressing the AI bots. * Control exactly which post types and taxonomies are included. * Auto-compiles AI summaries or short descriptions in Markdown format with corresponding links. #### Classic SEO A complete traditional SEO suite: * **SEO Title & Meta Description:** Set optimal lengths (30-65 chars for titles, 120-160 for descriptions). * **Focus Keyword:** Check density and optimization. * **Dynamic SEO Templates:** Define automated templates for any post type or taxonomy using smart variables (`%post_title%`, `%site_name%`,`% term_name%`, and even custom fields like `%custom_field_value_NAME%`). * **Advanced Controls:** Manage Canonical URLs, Robots (Index/Noindex), and Open Graph (OG) Images per page or globally. #### Trust Signals & Schema (JSON-LD * **Organization Schema:** Automatically injected on the homepage based on your business details. * **LocalBusiness Schema:** Includes physical address mapping, opening hours, and an automated GPS coordinate fetcher (Latitude & Longitude). * **Article Schema:** Automatically injects author names, publish dates, and featured images on posts. * **BreadcrumbList Schema:** Helps bots understand your site’s hierarchy. #### Sitemap & Navigation * **XML Sitemap Generator:** Auto-generates sitemaps for all post types and taxonomies. * **Advanced Media Support:** Automatically detects and includes images and videos( YouTube, Vimeo, MP4) inside the sitemap. * **Visual Breadcrumbs:** Use the `[btw_breadcrumbs]` shortcode to display breadcrumbs with full control over the home text and separators. #### Comprehensive Dashboard * View average GEO and SEO scores across your site. * Quickly identify gaps (missing AI summaries, FAQ schemas, or meta descriptions). * “Needs Attention” tables to focus your optimization efforts. * One-click AJAX recalculation for all scores. #### Seamless Integrations * **Yoast SEO Compatibility:** ByTheWeb GEO intelligently detects Yoast and disables overlapping fields (Classic SEO, Sitemaps) while keeping the advanced GEO and AI Readiness features active. * **ByTheWeb AI:** Fully integrates with our “Magic Fix” model, allowing you to auto-generate missing summaries, descriptions, and FAQs using artificial intelligence directly from your dashboard or post editor. #### Security & Access Control ByTheWeb GEO is built with standard WordPress security practices in mind. The plugin utilizes Nonce Verification to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, and incorporates Capability Checks (`current_user_can`) to ensure users have the appropriate permissions before executing actions. ### External services This plugin connects to our external API service (bytheweb.cloud) to process heavy AI computations. When you use the “Fix with AI” or “Generate Checked Fields with AI” features within the plugin (available when integrated with the ByTheWeb AI plugin), the post’s text content is sent to our server for analysis to generate high-quality AI Summaries, Short Answers, FAQ Schemas, and SEO Meta data. This occurs without slowing down your local WordPress server. * **What data is sent and when:** - When generating SEO meta data, summaries, or FAQ schema, the plugin sends the post’s text content to our server for analysis. - Every API request includes your API Key and your site’s Domain URL for authentication purposes. [Service URL](https://bytheweb.cloud) | [Terms of Service](https://bytheweb.ai/terms/) | [Privacy Policy](https://bytheweb.ai/privacy/) | _Note: An API key is required to connect to the external cloud AI features. You can obtain an API key from the plugin settings page or our website._ ### Help & Documentation Get help, support on [documentation](https://bytheweb.ai/support/) page.

While classic SEO focuses on ranking in traditional search engines (like Google’s blue links), GEO focuses on formatting and structuring your content so that AI models (like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews) can easily understand, extract, and cite your content as direct answers to users. ### Does this replace my current SEO plugin? It can, but it doesn’t have to! ByTheWeb GEO includes a full suite of classic SEO tools. However, if you are already using a plugin like Yoast SEO, ByTheWeb GEO will seamlessly integrate with it, disabling its own overlapping SEO fields while enhancing your site with advanced AI Readiness features. ### What is the llms.txt file? The `llms.txt` is a modern standard specifically designed for Large Language Models. It provides AI crawlers with a clean, markdown-formatted summary of your site’s structure and key content, making it much easier for them to digest your information. ### How do I automatically generate the AI summaries and FAQs? If you have the **ByTheWeb AI** plugin and a valid license, you can click the “Fix with AI” buttons inside the GEO meta box. This securely connects to our ByTheWeb Cloud service to auto-generate the content for you. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ByTheWeb GEO — SEO & AI Search Toolkit” is open source software.
