TWT AEO Ultimate<\/strong> prepares your WordPress site for the AI-first web. As search shifts from ten blue links to AI-generated answers, the signals that get your content cited \u2014 structured schema, author authority, publisher identity, and machine-readable content \u2014 matter more than ever.<\/p>\n\n

Fully modular: enable only what your site needs. Every feature toggles independently.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83e\udd16 AI Ready<\/h4>\n\n

llms.txt and llms-full.txt endpoints, Markdown content negotiation for AI agents, Content-Signal headers, an Agent Search REST API, MCP\/WebMCP discovery, OAuth\/OIDC discovery, per-bot rate limiting and blocking for 20+ AI crawlers, and an RFC 9727 API catalog.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udfe2 Company Profile<\/h4>\n\n

Organization JSON-LD (legal name, logo, contact points, sameAs), an explicit article:publisher \/ article:author Open Graph split, sitewide fb:app_id for Meta Domain Insights, and one-click import from Yoast or Rank Math.<\/p>\n\n

\u270d\ufe0f Author & E-E-A-T<\/h4>\n\n

Rich author profiles: job titles, credentials output as EducationalOccupationalCredential schema, expertise areas, years of experience, social sameAs links, optional hover cards and author boxes, and an E-E-A-T completeness score.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Smart Sitemap Generator<\/h4>\n\n

Cached \/aeo-sitemap.xml with per-post-type controls, a mirrored llms-full.txt, and collision protection with Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO sitemaps.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udd0d Schema Detector & Command Center<\/h4>\n\n

Detects FAQs, Services, and Contact pages and fills in missing JSON-LD. The Command Center shows live AI-crawler activity, duplicate-schema conflicts, and a real-time readiness score.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Add-ons<\/h4>\n\n

Image SEO (AI alt text), IndexNow, LocalBusiness schema with a NAP consistency checker, rich WooCommerce product schema with AI product enrichment and Google & Bing Merchant Center sync, and PR Bridge AI press-release distribution.<\/p>\n\n

External Services & TWT Agency<\/h4>\n\n

Optional AI features connect to Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Perplexity using your own API keys. Other optional integrations cover Google and Microsoft APIs, IndexNow, and PR wire services. Nothing is sent anywhere until you configure a feature and explicitly trigger it \u2014 see the FAQ for the full list with terms and privacy links, and the bundled EXTERNAL-SERVICES.md for the complete outbound-link inventory. Optional TWT Agency connectivity is available; the plugin is fully functional standalone.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the entire twt-aeo-ultimate<\/code> folder to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin via the Plugins<\/strong> screen in your WordPress dashboard.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to TWT AEO \u2192 Modules<\/strong> to review and enable the features you want.<\/li>\n
  4. Set up your publisher identity under TWT AEO \u2192 Company<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  5. Update your user profiles under Users \u2192 All Users<\/strong> to complete each author's E-E-A-T data.<\/li>\n
  6. Configure bot visibility and access controls at TWT AEO \u2192 AI Ready<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Important:<\/strong> After activating, go to Settings \u2192 Permalinks<\/strong> and click Save Changes<\/strong> once. This flushes rewrite rules so the virtual routes for \/llms.txt<\/code>, \/llms-full.txt<\/code>, and \/aeo-sitemap.xml<\/code> resolve correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n

    Does this plugin conflict with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. TWT AEO Ultimate detects active SEO suites and steps back from any metadata they already output (Organization, Article, Open Graph). It acts as an enhancement layer, adding the signals those suites typically miss \u2014 article:publisher<\/code>, rate-limit controls for 20+ AI agents, author credential schema, and llms.txt<\/code> processing.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What is llms.txt and why do I need it?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    llms.txt is an emerging standard (see llmstxt.org) that gives AI systems a clean, machine-readable summary of what your site contains and how to access it. Think of it as a robots.txt<\/code> written for language models. The companion endpoint \/llms-full.txt<\/code> serves your content as clean Markdown so crawlers can ingest it without parsing token-heavy HTML.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Why does the publisher\/author Open Graph split matter?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Standard social tags often blur authorship by failing to separate your brand from the individual writer. TWT AEO Ultimate keeps them distinct: article:publisher<\/code> establishes the company identity, while article:author<\/code> links to the individual author. AI models use this split to assess authority and attribute content accurately.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What does the Meta Business Sync do?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    It adds the sitewide fb:app_id<\/code> tag, which links your domain to your Meta Developer App. That unlocks the Meta Domain Insights dashboard and helps Meta attribute your content correctly across its ad and AI systems. Most SEO plugins don't output this tag.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I block specific AI bots or engines safely?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. Under TWT AEO \u2192 AI Ready \u2192 Security & Rate Limiting<\/strong>, each of 20+ known AI crawlers has a Block toggle and a custom rate-limit override. Blocking a bot writes a Disallow<\/code> entry to your virtual robots.txt<\/code> and returns a 403 on its requests \u2014 both advisory and hard enforcement.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will the rate limiter affect my human visitors?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. The filter matches requests by User-Agent against the known AI crawler list only. Regular browsers, ordinary visitors, and traditional search engines (like Googlebot) pass through unaffected.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will this add overhead or slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. Frontend metadata, schema, and virtual assets are served from the WordPress Transients API with a 1-hour cache. Heavier work runs only when a post is saved or settings change. The crawler rate limiter adds a single transient read per page load, and only for known AI agents.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What are the system requirements?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    PHP 7.4 or higher (PHP 8.0+ recommended) and WordPress 6.0+. For full functionality on WordPress 7.0 and its modern data views, MySQL 8.0 and a PHP memory limit of at least 256MB are recommended.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What external services does this plugin connect to?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Only the ones you configure, and only when you trigger them:<\/p>\n\n
