Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Citeroom: AEO and GEO for News, Works with Any SEO Plugin version 1.3.0 as active, updated 3mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Citeroom is a dedicated answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO) tool built only for news publishers. It is not a general SEO plugin and it does not try to replace Rank Math or Yoast. It does one job: it helps a newsroom’s journalism get cited by AI search and AI answers.
Good journalism already opens with the answer, in the first two sentences. That is exactly the shape AI engines want to quote. Citeroom surfaces and structures what good reporters already do, and adds the machine readable signals that AI crawlers look for.
Citeroom is built on honesty. It never fakes freshness, never guarantees a citation, and discloses any AI assistance.
What Citeroom does
News schema engine. Outputs valid NewsArticle structured data with publisher, author, featured image, section, language, and an optional dateline. It detects Rank Math, Yoast, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework so it never produces duplicate schema. Choose to defer to them, or let Citeroom take over and remove their article schema cleanly.
Freshness manager. Generates a Google News sitemap of your most recent posts and announces it in robots.txt. Shows an honest “Updated on” date that only appears when a story was genuinely changed a meaningful time after publishing, so minor edits never show a false update.
Answer readiness check. A score in the editor for how easily an AI can pull a direct answer from each story, with plain guidance on the lede, subheadings, paragraph length, lists, summary, and headline.
llms.txt and AI crawler allowlist. Generates llms.txt and llms-full.txt, a clean guide that points AI assistants at your recent reporting and key pages. Welcomes the major AI crawlers by default, with one click to block any of them.
Everything in the free version runs on your own site. It makes no external API calls and sends your data nowhere.
