## Description

Search is moving into AI answers. People increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google
AI Overviews, Gemini and Claude instead of scrolling a results page. **Rankioz AEO
Toolkit** helps your WordPress site get found, understood, and cited by those engines.
This is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), also called Generative Engine Optimization(
GEO).

Most sites fail at the basics without knowing it: AI crawlers are silently blocked,
there is no `llms.txt`, and the structured data that lets an AI attribute your content
is missing or broken. This plugin fixes that, no code required.

**What it does**

 * **AI-crawler control.** Allow or block the major AI crawlers (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot,
   ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and more) with
   simple presets, so the engines you want can actually read your site.
 * **llms.txt.** Generate and serve a valid `/llms.txt` that tells AI tools what
   your site is and where your key content lives.
 * **Schema and entity signals.** Add and validate Organization, Person, FAQPage,
   Article and Breadcrumb JSON-LD, including `sameAs`, so AI engines can recognize
   your brand as an entity and quote your answers.
 * **AI-visibility audit.** A one-screen score that tells you whether your site 
   is AI-search ready and exactly what to fix.

Built by a technical SEO engineer who does this work for clients every day.

### Works well with

The AEO Toolkit makes your site readable and quotable for AI engines. Its companion,
the [Rankioz SEO](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rankioz-seo/) plugin, connects your
site to the [Rankioz platform](https://rankioz.com) so brand-trained, answer-ready
articles publish to WordPress automatically. Together they cover the full loop: 
fix the basics, track whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude cite you, and
publish the content that wins the answers.

## Installation

## FAQ

### What is AEO / GEO?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), is optimizing
so AI answer engines can find, understand and cite your content, the same way SEO
optimizes for classic search.

### Does this replace my SEO plugin?

No. It complements Yoast, Rank Math and others by focusing on AI-search readiness.
Where they also output schema, the plugin defers to avoid duplicates.

### Will this get me ranked in ChatGPT tomorrow?

No tool can promise that. This plugin fixes the technical foundations that make 
your content reachable and extractable by AI engines. Visibility builds from there.

### What is llms.txt?

It is an emerging convention: a plain-text file at /llms.txt that tells AI tools
what your site is about and points them to your key content. The plugin generates
one from your site and serves it automatically.

### I have a physical robots.txt file. Does the crawler control still work?

If a real robots.txt file exists at your site root, WordPress serves that file instead
of its virtual one, so the plugin’s directives will not appear. The plugin detects
this and shows a notice; remove the file or copy the rules into it by hand.

### Does it send any of my data anywhere?

No. It makes no external calls on the front end. The audit’s optional “live checks”
only fetch your own site’s URLs, and only when you click the button.
