About this plugin
Your next visitors are AI engines. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini increasingly answer questions for your audience, and they decide which sites to read, trust and cite. Rank Press AI Visibility makes your WordPress site readable, trustworthy and quotable by those engines, using clean, standards-based signals generated right on your site.
It runs locally, with no account and no API key. You activate it, and the signals are published.
This is generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) for WordPress: the layer your classic SEO plugin does not cover yet. It runs next to Yoast, Rank Math or any SEO plugin, and focuses only on the AI-specific signals they do not generate.
What makes it different
- A public Brand Facts page at /brand-facts/, plus a machine-readable.well-known/brand-facts.json. This is a single, trustworthy source of truth about your business (what you do, since when, where, your offerings, your key facts) that AI engines can quote instead of inventing answers about you. Most AI plugins publish an llms.txt and stop there. This one gives the engines the facts, in their format.
- E-E-A-T identity, structured for machines. You describe your organization and your author once (role, expertise, credentials, areas of knowledge, professional links), and it is turned into Schema.org Person and Organization data so AI and search engines see a real, credible entity behind the content, not an anonymous page.
- Clean Markdown twins of your posts, the format LLMs parse most reliably, served automatically alongside your normal pages.
- Hosted AI included, no API key. An optional one-click “Analyze my site” reads your homepage with AI hosted by Rank Press and pre-fills your brand profile. No key to paste, no credits to manage, no account to create. Every other feature works with or without it.
What you get
- A public Brand Facts page (/brand-facts/) and a.well-known/brand-facts.json file, so AI engines quote accurate facts about your business instead of guessing.
- E-E-A-T entity data for your organization and your author (role, expertise, credentials, areas of knowledge, professional profiles), emitted as Schema.org Person and Organization so engines trust the source behind your content.
- Schema.org structured data, built from your content (Organization, WebSite with SearchAction, Article, FAQ, Breadcrumb, Person), so search and AI engines understand your entities without guesswork.
- An llms.txt index AI crawlers can read so assistants discover your most important pages in the format they expect (llmstxt.org), plus a machine-readable ai.json usage policy.
- Clean Markdown twins of your posts, the format LLMs parse most reliably.
- AI robots signals you control to welcome citation and search bots (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Googlebot) while optionally refusing training crawlers, all through the standard robots.txt.
- An AI-aware sitemap that points crawlers to every AI resource above.
- OpenGraph and X (Twitter) cards for crisp, clickable previews when your pages are shared on X, LinkedIn and Facebook, built from your content and brand. It stands down automatically if an SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math…) already provides them, so there is never a duplicate.
- Richer structured data when your content warrants it: VideoObject for embedded YouTube or Vimeo videos, HowTo for step-by-step guides, and Speakable hints for voice and AI assistants, all detected from your content.
- AI visit monitoring so you see which AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and more) actually read your site, which pages they read, and when. Your AI visibility, finally made visible.
- An AI citability score on every article (green, amber or red) that grades how quotable each post is by AI engines, on ten concrete, local checks (a direct lead answer, lists, an FAQ, cited sources, freshness, an identified author, depth, a featured image, internal links and structured data), with a one-line tip for each. Shown in your posts list, in the editor, and on a dedicated “AI score” page inside Rank Press that ranks every article, filters the ones to fix and jumps you straight to each. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Every signal above is generated locally and keeps working at all times. There is nothing to configure to get value on day one.
Hosted AI included, no API key
Some AI plugins ask you to bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key, which means creating an account, pasting a key and watching your own credits. Rank Press AI Visibility does not. The optional AI help is hosted by Rank Press and included: one click on “Analyze my site” reads your homepage and pre-fills your brand profile (name, description, industry, audience, country, language).
No API key, no account, nothing to configure. You review the result and save. It is entirely optional, and every local feature keeps working with or without it.
Works with your existing setup
Rank Press AI Visibility runs next to whatever SEO setup you already have. txt, Brand Facts, E-E-A-T entity data, AI robots) that classic SEO tools do not generate yet. There is nothing to reconfigure.

External services
This plugin connects to one external service, only for the optional “AI enrichment” feature, and only when you explicitly click an enrichment button after giving consent. The local visibility features never contact any external service.
- Service: Rank Press hosted AI (app.rankpress.com), operated by Permis Online SRL.
- What it does: (1) when you click the optional “Analyze my site” button, it reads your homepage with hosted AI and pre-fills your brand profile (name, description, industry, audience, country, language), so you do not need your own AI API key; (2) the plugin also ships an optional AI field-suggestion action (for example a brand description draft or FAQ ideas) built from the brand profile you have already filled in, capped at 3 uses per month.
- What is sent, and when: only on an explicit click, and only after you consent. “Analyze my site” sends your site URL (home_url) to app.rankpress.com, which fetches and analyzes your homepage with an AI provider and returns suggested brand details. The AI field-suggestion action sends your site URL plus the public brand profile fields you typed on the My business page (the same data your public Brand Facts page already exposes). Nothing is sent automatically or in the background.
