ZetaRank AI Agent Access Control gives you direct control. It manages per-bot Allow/Disallow rules injected straight into your site’s robots. txt, serves a dynamic `/llms.txt` summarizing your site for AI agents, and outputs baseline JSON-LD structured data (WebSite + Article/WebPage) — all from one settings screen, with no separate server or API key required. **What it does:** * Per-bot Allow/Disallow control for 20 known AI crawlers and agents, including GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Meta-ExternalAgent, Meta-ExternalFetcher, Applebot-Extended, Amazonbot, DuckAssistBot, MistralAI-User, CCBot, Bytespider, cohere-ai, anthropic-ai, and Diffbot * Sensible defaults out of the box: training crawlers default to blocked, live “ answer engine” crawlers default to allowed — edit any of them individually * A dynamic `/llms.txt` listing your pages and recent posts, with an editable site summary * JSON-LD structured data on every page, describing your site and content for AI consumption * Works entirely through WordPress’s native `robots_txt` filter and rewrite rules— no physical files written, no separate server **What this plugin won’t do:** promise to “submit your site to ChatGPT.” No such public mechanism exists. This plugin controls crawler _access_ and machine-readable context — which is the lever site owners actually have. #### Want more? MetaRankSEO Pro adds scheduled monitoring with alerts, site-wide schema audits ( every post/page, not just the homepage), IndexNow auto-submission on publish, and white-label client reports for agencies.

Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen. 3. Go to **Settings ZetaRank AI Agent Access Control** to review bot rules and enable llms.txt. ## FAQ ### Does this submit my site to ChatGPT or Claude? No — there’s no public API for that. This plugin controls whether your site is _reachable_ by AI crawlers and gives them a clean, structured entry point. ### I already have a physical robots.txt file — will this still work? The plugin edits WordPress’s dynamic robots.txt via the `robots_txt` filter. If a physical `robots.txt` file exists on your server, your webserver serves that file directly instead, and this plugin’s rules never take effect. The admin page detects this and gives you a ready-to-paste rules block to add to your physical file manually. ### Does /llms.txt work with “Plain” permalinks? No — it relies on WordPress rewrite rules, which Plain permalinks don’t use. Switch to any other permalink structure under Settings Permalinks. ### Will this conflict with Yoast SEO or Rank Math? No, it runs independently. If you already output WebSite/Article schema via another plugin, you may want to disable the schema output here to avoid duplicate JSON-LD. ### Does it slow down my site? No meaningful impact — robots.txt and llms.txt are generated on request via core WordPress hooks, and the schema output is a single small script tag. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ZetaRank AI Agent Access Control” is open source software.
