Get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews — without conflicting with your existing SEO plugin.
Download from WordPress.org → · Official Page · Support Forum
40–55% of AI citations go to fewer than 1,000 domains. If your site isn't on that list, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews are answering your buyers' questions with someone else's content — and you'll never see the click.
Traditional SEO plugins (Rank Math, Yoast, AIOSEO) optimize for Google's blue-link results. They were built for a web where users clicked through. That web is shrinking. RankReady is the layer above your SEO plugin — handling the AI-specific signals (llms.txt, FAQPage schema, Markdown endpoints, E-E-A-T, Speakable, WebMCP, AI crawler controls) that decide whether you're the source AI quotes or the site it never read.
Install RankReady, pick your LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or DeepSeek), and the plugin handles the rest. It auto-detects your active SEO plugin and never emits duplicate schema. Your existing Yoast or Rank Math setup keeps working exactly as before.
Frontend impact: zero. All AI generation runs in the WordPress admin. No API calls on page load. No third-party scripts. No extra HTTP requests for your visitors.
Serves the llmstxt.org standard at /llms.txt (curated index) and /llms-full.txt (concatenated Markdown). AI crawlers read these first — think of it as an AI-native sitemap. Configurable post types, max post count, category/tag exclusions, per-domain brand identity.
Generate "Key Takeaways" via OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek. Auto-injects with Speakable JSON-LD that Google Assistant, Alexa, and AI voice assistants read aloud. Unlimited manual generations. Set auto-generate-on-publish to cover new posts automatically. Bulk-regenerate across your library.
Queries DataForSEO for real "People Also Ask" questions ranking for your post's focus keyword, then your chosen LLM writes the answers. Output is FAQPage JSON-LD — the schema Google AI Overviews and Perplexity preferentially cite over plain article text. Pages with FAQPage schema are 3.2× more likely to appear in AI Overviews.
E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) is what AI models use to decide which sources to cite. RankReady ships a full Author Box (photo, bio, headline, topics, credentials, year-started) plus Article, Speakable, FAQPage, HowTo, and ItemList JSON-LD. Auto-detects Rank Math, Yoast, AIOSEO — skips duplicate output, or merges into their schema graph via filters.
Every post served as clean Markdown at /post-slug.md with YAML frontmatter (title, author, dates, schema). AI agents read Markdown 10× faster than HTML. Content negotiation via Accept: text/markdown lets crawlers fetch the format they prefer.
Plus a Model Context Protocol manifest at /.well-known/mcp.json listing what AI agents can do on your site — read posts, list authors, fetch FAQs, query categories. Claude Desktop and Cursor users add your site as an MCP server by pointing at this file.
The Insights tab gives you four real-time views:
- Training Bots — Which AI crawlers indexed which pages (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, CCBot, and 8 more).
- Citation Bots — Which pages were fetched mid-answer (ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-Web, DuckAssistBot).
- Real AI Referrals — Humans clicking through from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, copilot.microsoft.com. 100% server-side. No third-party scripts.
- Content Freshness — Bulk dateModified refresh.
Multiple 2026 studies show fresh content earns ~28% more AI citations, and 65% of all AI citations target content updated within the past year. Bucket posts into Stale (60+ days), Going stale (30–59 days), Fresh (under 30 days). One-click bulk dateModified refresh signals recency to AI crawlers on their next visit.
Granular allow/block toggles for 31 AI bots: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended, Bytespider, CCBot, FacebookBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, Applebot-Extended, DuckAssistBot, YouBot, AI2Bot, ImagesiftBot, Diffbot, Cohere-ai, and more. Auto-syncs to both virtual + physical robots.txt. Plus Content Signals (ai-train, search, ai-input directives per contentsignals.org).

The plugin persists cache-bypass entries to each cache plugin's stored configuration so server-level caches honour the bypass before PHP runs. Copy-ready .htaccess and nginx snippets for advanced bypass live in Settings → Diagnostics.
Auto-detects WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress, Weglot, and GTranslate. Emits hreflang Link HTTP headers for each detected language variant so AI crawlers discover the translated copies alongside the canonical English version.
The Diagnostics card runs 26 live probes — fetches /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, /.well-known/mcp.json, every Markdown route, detects active SEO plugins, checks rewrite rules, tests REST routes, scans for cache-plugin conflicts, inspects edge cache HIT/MISS headers, lists any template_redirect callbacks at priority < 5 that might race RankReady's handlers (Bricks Builder, Oxygen, Cwicly). Every failure ships with a one-line fix. One-click copy-to-clipboard plaintext report for support tickets.
