AI Search Optimization – llms.txt, Schema & AEO Audit – Citevera vs OmniGEO Ai SEO

Your content is not getting cited by AI answer engines. Classic SEO plugins (Yoast, RankMath, AIOSEO) optimize for Google’s blue links. Citevera optimizes for the new layer that sits above them – the one that writes the answer. Citevera is the WordPress plugin for AI search optimization. It makes your site citable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, with one-click fixes that don’t require editing theme code or touching header templates. Who this is for Site owners who have noticed their brand never appears in AI-generated answers. Marketing teams that want to stay ahead of the AI-search shift. Agencies supporting clients through the AEO / GEO transition. Why Citevera Written for AI answer engines, not retrofitted from classic SEO. Plays nicely with Yoast, RankMath, and AIOSEO – never duplicates schema they already emit. Free tier makes zero external HTTP calls. Your data stays on your WordPress server. Paid tier connects to the same audit pipeline behind scan.citevera.com, so your WP plugin and your SaaS account share one license. Citevera also supports non-WordPress sites through a SKILL.md export for Claude Code. Full documentation at https://citevera.com/docs/claude-code-integration. Free features One-click site audit with the rule-based checklist used by scan.citevera.com. llms.txt generator, served dynamically at yoursite.com/llms.txt with a 1-hour cache. AI-crawler robots.txt control: per-agent Allow / Disallow for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, Applebot-Extended, YouBot, cohere-ai, and Meta-ExternalAgent – plus legacy tokens (anthropic-ai, Claude-Web) honored for older robots.txt files. Schema.org JSON-LD for Organization, WebSite, Article, BreadcrumbList. FAQPage schema, auto-detected from FAQ blocks on posts and pages. Monthly scheduled audit with email alerts when your AI-search readiness score drops. Yoast, RankMath, and AIOSEO compatibility detection. Premium features (active Citevera license required) The premium tier connects the plugin to the Citevera cloud service at api.citevera.com. These features call our AI inference pipeline and require an active subscription. See the External services section below for the exact data sent and the Terms / Privacy links. AI-powered cloud audit (calls api.citevera.com). Recommendations marked auto-applicable can be applied from your Citevera dashboard at app.citevera.com; this plugin then applies them on your site (llms.txt, schema JSON-LD, robots rules) within a few minutes. Gutenberg block toolbar: select any paragraph, click “Optimize for AI”, see a diff, accept or decline (calls our AI rewrite service). Sidebar AI-answerability score inside the Gutenberg editor (instant, computed locally). Competitor tracking and monthly client portfolio reports at app.citevera.com. External services Citevera Free does not connect to any external service. (The free tier performs self-requests to your own site’s /llms.txt, /robots.txt and sitemap URLs to verify they are being served – loopback checks of the same kind WordPress core’s Site Health uses. No third party is involved.) When you paste a license key to unlock premium features, Citevera connects to api.citevera.com (operated by Citevera) to: Verify the key and return your tier entitlements (one request on activation; background refresh every 12 hours after). Run cloud audits when you explicitly click “Run full audit”. Rewrite selected content when you explicitly click “Optimize for AI” in the Gutenberg editor. The data sent to api.citevera.com during a cloud audit is a summary of your site: post counts, active plugins, active theme, detected schema types, and a sample of up to 10 page contents. The admin previews this exact payload before the first cloud audit runs. Rewrite requests send only the text you selected plus minimal surrounding context (post title, post type, adjacent paragraphs) for a single AI call.

AI search is the new SEO. People now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews instead of typing into a search box, and those tools quote a small set of pages. This is an AI SEO toolkit that gets your WordPress content ready for that world through Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). The standout feature is the live Content Extractability analyzer. As you write a post or product, it scores how easily an AI can lift a clean answer from your text, and it tells you what to fix: answer first openings, semantic chunking, comparison tables, clear headings and more. It runs in real time inside the editor, and it reads non Latin content correctly, so it scores Persian, Arabic and CJK writing too. Everything works locally and free. The only feature that calls an outside service is the optional AI visibility check, and that uses your own API key, so there is no extra subscription. What you get Live Content Extractability score in the editor, plus an AI Score column on your Posts and Products lists so you can fix the weak pages first. GEO and AEO audit that gives any page a score out of 100 with plain, fixable advice. Schema and JSON-LD output: Organization, Person and Author, Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product and Speakable, linked together with sameAs and @id for a clean entity graph. AI bot and referral tracking. It detects GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and more, and it splits user triggered fetches (a real person reading you inside an AI answer) from index crawls. AI Traffic dashboard with a ready made GA4 channel and regex so you can finally track AI clicks in Google Analytics. Site health checks plus IndexNow submission. llms.txt manager and AI crawler access rules for robots.txt. Live AI visibility check. Add your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Perplexity key and ask a buyer style question to see whether AI mentions your brand or links your site. Yoast SEO and Rank Math integration. It reads your focus keyword and avoids duplicate schema so two plugins never fight over the same graph. WooCommerce support. It defers to WooCommerce Product schema to prevent conflicts and adds product specific checks for the short description, specs, reviews and images. Who it is for Bloggers, publishers, agencies, shop owners and anyone who wants to be the source an AI quotes. It pairs well with classic SEO work, since answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization build on the same foundation. External Services This plugin connects to a few third party services, and only when you choose to use the related feature. AI visibility check (optional, off by default): when you enable it and add your own API key, the plugin sends your test prompt to the provider you pick so it can check whether your brand appears in AI answers.
