Yoast tells you you’re invisible to Google. Cirv Sight tells you you’re invisible to ChatGPT — and lets you charge AI bots to crawl you. Cirv Sight ships an llms.txt for your WordPress site, then watches what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews actually do with it. Four numbers per page: citations, AI-bot crawls, share of voice, and a Cloudflare 402 pay-per-crawl estimate. If you already use Cirv Box for Google rich results, Cirv Sight is the same idea pointed at AI search. Free on WordPress.org when it ships, Pro for publishers and agencies.

Built for AEO and GEO — get your FAQs cited by AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. This is an AI FAQ generator and FAQ schema plugin made for the new way people search: answer engines, not just blue links. 🪄 Fix with AI: the only FAQ plugin that scores your FAQ quality AND fixes it. Run the analyzer, click one button, and every answer is rewritten as a citation-ready 40-80 word answer capsule — direct Yes/No openers, hard data points, self-contained sentences AI engines love to quote. Watch your SEO and GEO scores jump in real time. 🌍 19-language Auto Generate. ✅ WordPress 7.0 ready. No API key required. FAQ parsing, manual input, SEO/GEO quality scoring, FAQPage schema, 7 display styles, llms.txt, and AI crawler control all work out of the box. The AI features (Auto Generate, Fix with AI) are optional – bring your own OpenAI key only if you want them. AI Search Visibility – no API key needed: llms.txt – serves an auto-generated llms.txt at your site root (llmstxt.org convention): a machine-readable index of your pages and latest posts that AI crawlers like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity use to understand your site. Rebuilt automatically when content changes. AI Crawler Control – a one-screen table of 13 AI crawlers (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider and more) with per-bot allow/block via your robots.txt. Everything is allowed by default – being read by AI is the point of AEO – and blocking any bot is one checkbox. What is AEO / GEO, and why does it matter? Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) are about getting your content quoted by AI — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude now answer questions directly and cite their sources. AI search optimization rewards a specific structure: a direct answer in the first sentence, short 40-80 word “answer capsules”, and concrete data points. Well-structured FAQ content is cited significantly more often in AI answers than plain prose. This plugin generates FAQs in exactly that format, then scores each one with a dedicated GEO / AI-citation analyzer so you know how AI-ready your content is before you publish. Visible Q&A for AI engines to quote, plus valid FAQPage JSON-LD schema that Bing and the AI assistants built on its index still consume. How to add FAQ schema in WordPress Install and activate the plugin, then open any post or page in the block editor. Search for “FAQ Schema” in the block inserter and add the block. Use Auto Generate (AI reads your post), paste existing FAQs in any format, or type them manually. Publish. Valid FAQPage JSON-LD schema is injected automatically — no shortcodes, no code. Optimizing for AI Overviews and AI search Ranking in AI Overviews and getting cited by ChatGPT is less about keywords and more about structure. The built-in GEO analyzer checks the exact signals answer engines reward — answer-first sentences, 40-80 word length, self-contained answers, specific data points, no filler — and Fix with AI rewrites your answers to hit all of them in one click. It’s answer engine optimization (AEO) built into your editor. What Makes This Plugin Different Most FAQ plugins just display pretty accordions.

No npm, no React, no headaches Key Features 3 Ways to Add FAQs Auto Generate (AI) — One click. The plugin reads your post content directly from the editor and generates relevant FAQs — no copying, no pasting. Powered by OpenAI. Paste Existing FAQs — Already have FAQs? Paste them in almost any format (Q:/A:, Question:/Answer:, numbered lists, plain text, HTML, or markdown) and the smart parser auto-detects and structures them instantly. Manual Input — Prefer full control? Type your questions and answers directly in the block editor. Fix with AI Run the quality analyzer, then click Fix with AI. Every answer is rewritten as a citation-ready “answer capsule”: Direct answer in the first sentence — Yes/No questions open with “Yes,” or “No,” plus a restated claim 40-80 words total, every sentence under 20 words At least one concrete data point per answer (numbers, dates, timeframes) Fully self-contained — extractable by AI engines without any page context Keeps your questions and your language untouched (works in all 19 supported languages) Your SEO and GEO scores re-calculate instantly, so you see exactly what the fix accomplished. FAQ Quality Analyzer (100-Point Score) Before you publish, run the built-in analyzer. It checks 12 SEO criteria across 3 categories: Basic checks — FAQ count, duplicate detection, question format Direct answer quality — first-sentence scoring, search intent alignment Keyword SEO — keyword presence in questions and answers, sentence length, uniqueness You get a score out of 100 with specific recommendations. No guessing what to fix. GEO Quality Analyzer (AI Citation Score) Optimize your FAQs for AI search engines — Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. The GEO analyzer checks 8 criteria across 4 categories: Answer-First structure — no filler phrases, direct answers in the AI citation sweet spot (8-60 words) Self-Contained — no relative references, no vague endings, each FAQ stands alone Specificity and E-E-A-T — concrete data points, no promotional superlatives Clarity — no ambiguous pronouns, structured multi-sentence answers SEO and GEO scores display side by side. Click each to see the detailed breakdown. Valid FAQPage JSON-LD Schema The plugin automatically injects valid schema.org FAQPage structured data into your page’s — the standard format read by Bing and the AI assistants built on its index, and understood by every search and answer engine. You don’t touch any code. Multiple OpenAI Models Choose the model that fits your needs and budget: gpt-5.6-luna — Fastest, lowest cost. Great for most blogs. gpt-5.6-terra — Balanced quality and cost. gpt-5.6-sol — Flagship model. Best quality for competitive niches. 7 Display Styles Minimal — Clean text list with Q prefix Card — Elevated cards with hover effects Accordion — Click to expand, great for long answers Boxed — Colored header with distinct sections Timeline — Vertical timeline with numbered dots Chat Bubble — Messenger-style question/answer bubbles Numbered — Large index numbers for tutorial-style posts Dark Mode All display styles automatically adapt to your visitor’s OS preference — readers using dark mode see a matching dark-themed FAQ block with no extra configuration. Custom AI Prompt Not happy with the default output? Edit the prompt. Use {count} as a placeholder for the number of FAQs. The plugin always enforces JSON formatting automatically. Target Keyword Optimization Set a target keyword per block (or let AI detect it from your content). The quality analyzer then checks whether your FAQs are properly optimized around that keyword. Who Is This For? Bloggers who want more Google visibility without touching code SEO professionals who need to scale FAQ structured data across many posts Content marketers building topical authority in competitive niches Agencies managing client sites and needing a reliable FAQ solution Small business sites looking to get their answers surfaced and cited in AI search (AI Overviews, ChatGPT) Security Your OpenAI API key is stored encrypted at rest and never exposed to the browser. All AI calls happen through a protected REST endpoint with nonce verification. Rate limiting (10 requests/minute/user) prevents abuse. External Services This plugin connects to the OpenAI API (api.openai.com) to generate FAQ content, rewrite answers (Fix with AI), and extract target keywords. When you click “Generate FAQ,” “Fix with AI,” or “AI Detect,” your post content, your FAQ text, and the prompt are sent to OpenAI’s servers for processing. This only happens on demand — never automatically in the background. OpenAI Terms of Use OpenAI Privacy Policy
