LLM Override
The AI era has a problem: ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are making up facts about your brand.
They crawl your raw HTML — a format built for humans — and hallucinate the gaps. Traditional SEO cannot fix this. A static sitemap cannot fix this. LLM Override fixes this.
LLM Override is a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) interception engine for WordPress. It speaks the language AI crawlers actually understand: clean, structured Markdown with semantic context — served in real time, directly from your site, without modifying a single page.
How AI systems read your content
Most AI tools for WordPress generate a list of URLs. That tells an AI crawler where your content is. LLM Override tells AI crawlers what your content means — making your brand accurately represented across AI-powered search engines.
When a bot visits your page, LLM Override intercepts the request before WordPress renders any HTML, and responds with a structured Markdown payload containing:
- Your content, cleaned of scripts, ads, and UI noise
- A YAML frontmatter block with your canonical title, URL, and last-updated timestamp
- Your Site Manifest — verifiable organization facts included in your /llms.txt
This is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): making your content accessible and accurately represented to AI systems.
How it works
- LLM Override adds a
<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">tag into your page<head>. - An AI crawler discovers this link and follows it — that’s the standard Content Negotiation protocol.
- It appends
?view=rawto your URL and sends the request. - LLM Override intercepts at the WordPress routing layer — no HTML is rendered, no theme loads.
- The crawler receives clean, semantic Markdown. Accurate content. No hallucinations.
Your human visitors never see any of this. Their experience is unchanged.
