Description
Is your site invisible to ChatGPT and AI search? Find out for free in under a minute. This plugin scans your site the way AI engines do and shows you exactly what’s missing — no coding required.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI a question your business could answer, the AI picks which sites to cite from machine-readable signals — Schema.org structured data, an llms.txt file, a robots.txt that doesn’t block the AI crawlers. If those are missing, you get skipped, no matter how good your content is. (Worth checking now: starting September 2026, Cloudflare blocks AI crawlers by default for sites on its network — an open robots.txt matters more than ever.)
Causabi GEO Optimizer scans your site and gives you a free, full diagnosis. Turning that diagnosis into site-wide fixes — automatically, across every page — is a paid upgrade.
Free — full AI visibility diagnosis:
- Your AI Readiness Score (0–100) with a full breakdown by category
- Tells you exactly which issues are hurting your AI visibility, and why
- Checks your robots.txt for blocked AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and more) and gives you a ready-to-paste fix
- Adds Schema.org markup to your homepage as a live, working example — the correct type for your business (Restaurant, CafeOrCoffeeShop, BankOrCreditUnion, and 40+ more), not just a generic “Organization”
- Language-aware — your score and issues are shown in your site’s own language
- No coding required — works out of the box
Pro ($19/mo) — automates the fixes site-wide:
- Schema.org markup added automatically to every page on your site, not just the homepage
- FAQ Schema — early research suggests FAQ markup can help raise AI citation rates (one study found up to 41%; results vary by site)
- Serves an llms.txt file — a plain-text summary of your site for AI agents that read it
- Automatic robots.txt patching — no manual copy-paste needed
- Weekly auto-refresh so your markup stays current as your site changes
How it works:
- You install the plugin and enter your free API key from causabi.com
- We crawl your site and generate your AI Readiness Score and the Schema.org markup your business needs
- You see your score, a category breakdown, and the exact issues to fix — with Schema.org live on your homepage as proof it works
- Upgrade to Pro any time to push markup to every page, serve llms.txt, auto-patch robots.txt, and keep it all refreshed weekly
AI search is part of SEO now. ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Google’s AI Overview all read the same machine-readable signals — Schema.org, llms.txt, robots.txt — that this plugin manages. Think of it as the AI-visibility layer of your existing SEO, not a separate discipline.

FAQ
-
What is an AI Readiness Score?
-
It’s a score from 0 to 100 that measures how well ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude, and other AI search engines can find, understand, and cite your website. A higher score means more chances of appearing in AI-generated answers.
-
Does this plugin slow down my site?
-
No. The Schema.org markup is cached for 24 hours and served from WordPress Transients — it adds a single tiny
<script>tag to your page’s<head>. No extra page load time. -
What is Schema.org markup?
-
Schema.org is a standard way to describe your website to search engines and AI. It’s added as a hidden
<script type="application/ld+json">tag in your page’s<head>. It doesn’t change how your site looks — only how AI and search engines understand it. -
Is this plugin free? What’s paid?
-
Free, no time limit: your AI Readiness Score, a full category breakdown, the exact issues to fix, a robots.txt check with a ready-to-paste fix, and Schema.org markup live on your homepage so you can verify it works. Paid ($19/mo): turning that into automatic, site-wide fixes — Schema.org on every page, FAQ Schema, a served llms.txt file, automatic robots.txt patching, and a weekly auto-refresh. No credit card is required to use the free plan.
-
How is this different from other Schema plugins?
-
Most Schema plugins require you to manually fill in all your business details. GEO Optimizer automatically generates the right markup by analyzing your existing site content. We also focus specifically on AI search engines, not just Google.
-
Will this affect my existing SEO?
-
Only positively. Schema.org markup is recommended by Google and all major search engines. It doesn’t interfere with any existing SEO plugins.

Changelog
1.3.0
- The free plan now gives you the full AI Readiness diagnosis: your score, a category breakdown, the exact issues to fix, the list of AI crawlers your robots.txt blocks with a ready-to-paste snippet, and Schema.org markup on your homepage so you can verify it works.
- Automatic site-wide fixes are now a paid upgrade: Schema.org on every page, FAQ Schema, a served llms.txt, automatic robots.txt patching, and a weekly re-scan that keeps everything current.
- Added an in-dashboard upgrade option for site-wide fixes.
1.2.2
- Fixed: on first-ever save, the API key could be encrypted twice due to a WordPress core quirk (
update_optionre-running the sanitize callback), leaving it permanently unusable. The plugin now detects and repairs already-affected installs automatically — no action needed. - Fixed: if the initial site scan failed (network issue or invalid key), the plugin used to silently show “Analyzing…” for up to an hour with no way to retry. It now shows a clear error message with a retry link right away.
1.2.1
- Added an optional in-dashboard reminder to leave a review (appears once, a week after setup, and only after your site has a score)
1.2.0
- Added llms.txt support — serves a plain-text summary of your site at /llms.txt, refreshed every 7 days along with your Schema.org markup
- Added a robots.txt check that warns if AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and others) are blocked, with an option to add explicit Allow rules
- Both features can be toggled off in Settings GEO Optimizer
1.1.2
- Renamed plugin to “Causabi GEO Optimizer” and updated slug to causabi-geo-optimizer (per WordPress.org plugin review)
1.1.0
