If those tools cannot read or understand your site, they recommend someone else.** RankRoot – AI Visibility** gives your WordPress site the basics of AI search optimization( also called GEO or AEO) in one lightweight plugin, with no account and no limits. #### What it does * **Dynamic llms.txt** – Serves `/llms.txt`, a Markdown summary of your site and key pages that AI assistants can read in one request. Choose content types and how many items to list, add an “About your site” intro, exclude specific IDs. Noindex, private and password-protected content is left out automatically. Always up to date, nothing written to disk. * **Optional llms-full.txt** – Publishes the plain-text content of your key pages at `/llms-full.txt` for AI tools that want full context. * **AI crawler controls for robots.txt** – One-click presets: _Allow AI search, block training_, _Allow all_, _Block all AI training_ or _Block all AI bots_. Covers OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Claude- SearchBot, Claude-User, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Meta, Common Crawl, ByteDance, Amazon and DuckDuckGo user agents. Rules are appended to WordPress’s virtual robots.txt, and your existing rules are kept. * **Organization / WebSite JSON-LD** – Helps AI engines name and describe your brand correctly (logo, social profiles via sameAs). Turns itself off automatically when Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress or similar already output it, so you never get duplicates. * **AI visibility checklist** – A status page under Settings > AI Visibility checks, on your own server, that llms.txt is actually served, AI crawler rules are active, schema and a sitemap exist, HTTPS is on and “Discourage search engines” is off. * **Safe with existing files** – If a physical `llms.txt` or `robots.txt` already exists (for example created by another plugin), it is never overwritten; you get a clear warning instead. * **Optional full audit** – One button runs a free, deeper 0-100 audit on [RankRoot](https://getrankroot.com) and shows your score, category scores and top issues right in WordPress. Only runs when you click it. #### Why this plugin Most AI plugins only generate llms.txt. Being cited by AI also depends on whether AI bots are allowed in, whether your brand is described with structured data, and whether everything is actually reachable. This plugin covers all of that in one place, checks it works, and stays out of the way of your SEO plugin. Everything in the plugin is free and fully functional. No account, no tracking, no ads in your dashboard. ### External services This plugin can connect to the RankRoot AI visibility audit API, provided by RankRoot( https://getrankroot.com). It is used only to show an optional audit score and list of issues on the settings page. * **When:** only when an administrator clicks “Run full free audit on RankRoot” on Settings > AI Visibility. Nothing is sent on install, activation, a schedule, or to visitors. * **What is sent:** your site’s home URL (for example `https://example.com/`) in a request to `https://getrankroot.com/api/audit`. RankRoot then fetches your publicly accessible pages, robots.txt, llms.txt and sitemap to compute the score. No personal data, user data, email address or WordPress version is sent. * **Results:** the last result is stored in your WordPress database and deleted when the plugin is uninstalled. The “View full report” link opens your public report on getrankroot.com. RankRoot terms of use: https://getrankroot.com/terms RankRoot privacy policy: https:// getrankroot.com/privacy All other features (llms.txt, robots.txt rules, schema, checklist) run entirely on your own site. The checklist makes requests only to your own site to confirm files are served. ## Installation 1. Install from Plugins > Add New (search “RankRoot AI Visibility”) or upload the zip, then activate. 2. Go to Settings > AI Visibility. 3. Pick the content types for llms.txt, choose an AI crawler preset and fill in your organization details. 4. Save, then click “View llms.txt” and “View robots.txt” to see the result. ## FAQ ### What is llms.txt? A proposed standard (llmstxt.org) for a Markdown file at the root of your site that summarizes what the site is and links to its most useful pages, so AI assistants can understand it quickly. ### My /llms.txt shows a 404 Go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save to refresh rewrite rules. On sites using“ Plain” permalinks, some web servers do not pass `.txt` requests to WordPress; choose any other permalink structure. The checklist tells you which case applies. ### I already have an llms.txt from Yoast or another plugin That physical file takes priority and is never overwritten. You can keep it and use only the robots.txt, schema and checklist features, or delete the file to let this plugin generate llms.txt dynamically. ### Will blocking AI training bots hurt my visibility? The recommended preset blocks training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and others) while allowing AI search bots (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude- SearchBot) and user-requested fetches, so you can still be cited in AI answers. Blocking Google-Extended does not affect Google Search. ### Why are my robots.txt rules not showing? Either a physical robots.txt file exists in your site root (WordPress cannot change it, so copy the rules shown in the settings into it), or “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” is on. ### Does it conflict with Yoast SEO, Rank Math or All in One SEO? No. Schema output is skipped when one of them is active, and robots.txt rules are appended to whatever they produce. ### Does the plugin send any data anywhere? Not unless you click “Run full free audit on RankRoot”. See External services below. ### Is there a paid version? No. The plugin is complete and free. RankRoot also offers an optional Pro web service( multi-page scans and monitoring) at getrankroot.com; it is not needed to use this plugin. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RankRoot – AI Visibility” is open source software.
