We Just Released a Free WordPress Plugin That Makes Your Site Visible to AI Search
By Citable.dev Editorial · April 17, 2026 · 4.1 min read
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are answering the questions your customers used to Google. The question isn’t whether AI search matters — it’s whether AI search can find you.
Today we’re releasing GEO Schema for WordPress — a free plugin that adds the structured data, AI-readable files, and bot controls that make your website visible to generative search engines. No subscription. Every feature included free — no paid upgrade required.

The Problem: Your SEO Plugin Wasn’t Built for AI
Yoast, RankMath, and AIOSEO are excellent at traditional SEO — meta titles, XML sitemaps, basic schema. But they weren’t designed for generative engines.
When ChatGPT decides which businesses to recommend, it doesn’t read your meta description. It reads your structured data. When Perplexity summarizes your services, it looks for schema types that describe what you actually do — not a generic WebPage tag on every page.
Most WordPress sites output the same generic schema on every page. AI can’t tell your About page from your Contact page from your Services page. That’s the gap this plugin fills.
What the Plugin Does
Rich JSON-LD Schema
- 97 official schema.org business types — Restaurant, LegalService, MedicalBusiness, NonprofitOrganization, and 93 more
- 22+ page-specific types — AboutPage, ContactPage, FAQPage, Service, Event, Product, Recipe, HowTo, Course
- Auto-detection from your page slugs, titles, and content — zero configuration for most pages
- FAQ extraction from your existing headings — no special blocks required
- Video schema auto-detection for YouTube and Vimeo embeds
Custom Schema Builder
18 guided schema types — SoftwareApplication, JobPosting, Person, Review, Vehicle, PodcastSeries, and more — built through forms, not raw JSON. Every field has help text explaining what it is and why AI cares.
Schema Templates
Configure once, apply to dozens of pages. Update the template, every linked page updates. Perfect for agencies and sites with many similar pages.
Auto-Generated llms.txt
The llms.txt specification is like robots.txt for AI — it tells language models what your site contains. The plugin auto-generates it from your site name, pages, and organization details. Add a page, it appears in llms.txt automatically.
AI Bot Manager
Toggle controls for 9 major AI crawlers — GPTBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, and more. Each bot has educational context explaining the trade-off. Default: all allowed.
WooCommerce Integration
Auto-generates rich Product schema — price, availability, reviews, brand, images, SKU. Supports simple and variable products. Supplement WooCommerce’s built-in schema or replace it entirely.
GEO Readiness Checklist
A 12-step dashboard widget tracking your AI search readiness — organization data, schema coverage, AI crawler access, FAQ pages, and more.
What This Costs Everywhere Else
| Plugin | What You Get Free | Full Schema | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yoast | Basic WebPage/Article | Premium only | $99/year |
| RankMath | ~20 types | Pro required | $84–$252/year |
| AIOSEO | Minimal | Plus/Pro tier | $50–$200/year |
| GEO Schema | Everything above + llms.txt + bot manager | Included | Free |
We’re not charging because the plugin isn’t the product — it’s the foundation.
Why We Built This (And Why It’s Free)
We build Citable Score™ reports — comprehensive AI visibility audits that score your website across 7 platforms: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot, Meta AI, and Apple Intelligence.
But here’s what we kept seeing: businesses would get their report, see the gaps, and have no easy way to fix the foundational issues. They needed structured data, llms.txt, bot controls — and the existing plugins either charged premium prices for basic schema or didn’t address AI at all.
So we built the tool we wished existed. The plugin handles the technical foundation for free. If you want to know how AI actually cites your site across all 7 platforms, that’s what the Citable Score™ is for — one report, $149, no subscription.
The Shift Is Already Happening
AI search traffic is growing fast. Google reports that AI Overviews now appear for a significant share of queries. Gartner predicted traditional search volume would drop 25% by 2026. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are becoming how people discover businesses.
Early data suggests AI-referred visitors convert at higher rates than traditional search — they arrive with clearer intent and more context about what they need.
The businesses that show up in AI search today are building a moat. The ones that don’t are becoming invisible to a growing share of their market.
How to Get Started
1. Install from WordPress.org — search “Citable GEO Schema” in Plugins → Add New
2. Go to GEO Schema in your admin sidebar
3. Fill in your organization details (name, type, description)
4. Visit Settings → Permalinks and click Save (required for llms.txt)
5. That’s it — rich schema is now on every page
The plugin works alongside your existing SEO plugin. No conflicts, no database writes on the frontend, no external API calls, no JavaScript overhead.
What’s Next
We’re actively developing the plugin. On the roadmap:
- More schema types based on community feedback
- Deeper WooCommerce integration
- Enhanced llms.txt customization
Star us on WordPress.org, leave a review if it helps your site, and let us know what you’d like to see next.
