About this plugin
AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI) increasingly answer questions about your business by piecing together whatever they can scrape. When the scraps are messy, they guess, and sometimes they guess wrong.
Grounded AEO gives them something better to read. Fill in one form and your site publishes:
- /.well-known/aeo.json – your facts in the open v=AEO1 format (aeorecord.org)
- /llms.txt – a plain-text digest AI crawlers understand
- Organization schema and a rel="aeo" discovery link in every page head
Everything updates the moment you save the form. Nothing to write by hand, nothing to keep in sync.
The plugin also shows you the optional _aeo DNS TXT record that announces your record to engines, with a one-click check to confirm it is live.
Honest labeling. Records published by this plugin are self-declared: they state what you say about your business. com.
The plugin is fully functional without it.

No request is made from your server, and nothing runs automatically.
This service is provided by Google: terms of service, privacy policy.
