ByTheWeb GEO – AI Visibility & SEO Toolkit

ByTheWeb AI is your all-in-one AI assistant for WordPress. Free WordPress Plugin built for AI engines to understand, reference, and recommend your website.

ByTheWeb GEO bridges the gap between classic SEO and modern AI readiness, ensuring your content is structured, summarized, and optimized for AI crawlers and Answer Engines. ByTheWeb GEO is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Artificial Intelligence Optimization (AIO) plugin for WordPress. As search evolves from traditional links to AI-driven answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews), your website needs to adapt.

Features

AI Optimization (GEO)

• AI Readiness Score (GEO): An algorithm that calculates a score from 0 to 100 based on crucial parameters like Short Answers, AI Summaries, FAQ Schema, content length (over 300 words), H2/H3 structure, recent updates (last 6 months), and Author Info.
• Short Answer (The Bottom Line): A dedicated field to inject an abstract meta tag with a direct answer for AI engines.
• AI Summary (Key Facts): A field to summarize key facts, injected as an ai-summary meta tag.
• FAQ Builder: Create page/category-level FAQs that automatically generate hidden FAQ Schema for rich results.

LLMs.txt & LLMs-full.txt Generator

Prepare your site for Large Language Models using modern AI discovery files: * Automatically generate an llms.txt file at the root of your site. * Optionally generate an llms-full.txt file with a fuller Markdown version of your public, indexable content. * Add a custom “Introduction” directly addressing AI bots and large language models. * Control exactly which post types and taxonomies are included. * Auto-compiles Short Answers, AI Summaries, clean content excerpts, taxonomy descriptions, and corresponding links in Markdown format. * Set a maximum character limit for llms-full.txt to prevent oversized responses on large sites.

Robots.txt AI Policy Manager

Manage AI crawler access from inside WordPress without editing server files: * Automatically adds your ByTheWeb GEO sitemap.xml URL to the virtual robots.txt output when Yoast SEO is not active. * Keep all bots allowed by default, with clear per-bot blocking controls. * Selectively block major AI and search crawlers such as GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Bingbot, Amazonbot, and Meta AI fetchers. * Avoid conflicts with Yoast SEO by disabling overlapping robots.txt management when Yoast is active. * Detects physical robots.txt files and warns when server-level, cache, security, or firewall rules may affect the final robots.txt output.

Elementor Widgets

Use dedicated Elementor widgets to display GEO-ready content directly inside your page designs:

• Add AI Summary content with a native Elementor widget.
• Add AI Short Answer content with a native Elementor widget.
• Add visual breadcrumbs using the ByTheWeb GEO Breadcrumbs widget.
• Keep your AI-optimized content visible, reusable, and easy to style inside Elementor.
• FAQ Elementor Widget support is also available through the companion ByTheWeb AI plugin, which includes the shared FAQ builder integration.

Classic SEO

A complete traditional SEO suite: * SEO Title & Meta Description: Set optimal lengths (30-65 chars for titles, 120-160 for descriptions). * Focus Keyword: Check density and optimization. * Dynamic SEO Templates: Define automated templates for any post type or taxonomy using smart variables (%post_title%, %site_name%, %term_name%, and even custom fields like %custom_field_value_NAME%). * Advanced Controls: Manage Canonical URLs, Robots (Index/Noindex), and Open Graph (OG) Images per page or globally.

Trust Signals & Schema (JSON-LD)

Build stronger entity recognition and trust signals with structured data: * Organization Schema: Automatically injected on the homepage based on your business details. * LocalBusiness Schema: Includes physical address mapping, opening hours, and an automated GPS coordinate fetcher (Latitude & Longitude). * Article Schema: Automatically injects author names, publish dates, and featured images on posts. * BreadcrumbList Schema: Helps bots understand your site’s hierarchy. * sameAs Entity Links: Add official profile URLs such as social profiles, directories, and brand references to strengthen entity recognition. * Service Schema: Describe the main service your business offers using structured JSON-LD. * ContactPoint Schema: Add customer support contact data using your existing business contact fields. * Yoast Schema Graph Integration: When Yoast SEO is active, ByTheWeb GEO integrates selected schema enhancements into Yoast’s schema graph instead of duplicating output.

Sitemap & Navigation

• XML Sitemap Generator: Auto-generates sitemaps for all post types and taxonomies.
• Advanced Media Support: Automatically detects and includes images and videos (YouTube, Vimeo, MP4) inside the sitemap.
• Visual Breadcrumbs: Use the [btw_breadcrumbs] shortcode to display breadcrumbs with full control over the home text and separators.

Comprehensive Dashboard

• View average GEO and SEO scores across your site.
• Quickly identify gaps (missing AI summaries, FAQ schemas, or meta descriptions).
• “Needs Attention” tables to focus your optimization efforts.
• One-click AJAX recalculation for all scores.

Seamless Integrations

• Yoast SEO Compatibility: ByTheWeb GEO intelligently detects Yoast and disables overlapping fields (Classic SEO, Sitemaps) while keeping the advanced GEO and AI Readiness features active.
• ByTheWeb AI: Fully integrates with our “Magic Fix” model, allowing you to auto-generate missing summaries, descriptions, and FAQs using artificial intelligence directly from your dashboard or post editor.

Security & Access Control

Security is our top priority. ByTheWeb GEO strictly follows WordPress capability standards to ensure your site configurations and AI integrations are safe from unauthorized usage. Subscribers, store customers, or guests cannot access any dashboard or trigger optimization actions.

• GEO Dashboard & Site-wide Settings: Users with the edit_others_posts capability (Administrators and Editors) have full access to the main GEO Dashboard, general configuration settings, SEO templates, and the Yoast SEO data migration tools.
• Post-Level Optimization & AI Fixes: Users with the edit_posts capability (Administrators, Editors, Authors, and Contributors) can view optimization scores within their post editor and utilize the AI Auto-Fix tools for their respective posts.
• Category & Taxonomy Optimization: Users with the manage_categories capability (Administrators and Editors) can manage GEO/SEO metadata and FAQ schemas for categories, tags, and custom taxonomies.
• Security Protection: Every admin action and AJAX endpoint is secured with strict Nonce Verification to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks and rigorous capability checks (current_user_can). Unauthorized requests are immediately rejected by the server.

External services

This plugin connects to our external API service (bytheweb.cloud) to process heavy AI computations.

When you use the “Fix with AI” or “Generate Checked Fields with AI” features within the plugin (available when integrated with the ByTheWeb AI plugin), the post’s text content is sent to our server for analysis to generate high-quality AI Summaries, Short Answers, FAQ Schemas, and SEO Meta data. This occurs without slowing down your local WordPress server.

• What data is sent and when:
  • When generating SEO meta data, summaries, or FAQ schema, the plugin sends the post’s text content to our server for analysis.
  • Every API request includes your API Key and your site’s Domain URL for authentication purposes.

Note: An API key is required to connect to the external cloud AI features. You can obtain an API key from the plugin settings page or our website.
