The plugin on WordPress.org is free and includes meta tags, XML sitemaps, schema markup, redirects, a 404 monitor, IndexNow, llms.txt and the AI Bots Manager. Prime SEO Pro is a separate paid version that adds AI writing features. ##### What is an AI SEO plugin? The term covers two things: preparing a site for AI search products such as ChatGPT and Perplexity, and using AI to do SEO tasks such as writing meta descriptions. Prime SEO does the first in the free version and the second in Pro. ##### Can I switch from Yoast SEO or Rank Math without losing data? Yes. The migration tool imports your SEO titles, descriptions, focus keywords, canonical URLs and robots settings, and redirects from Rank Math. Run it once, check a few posts, then deactivate the old plugin. ##### Does Prime SEO create an llms.txt file? Yes. It is generated automatically and served at /llms.txt as soon as the plugin is active. You can edit it in the dashboard and switch on llms-full.txt with the full text of your content. ##### Which WordPress and PHP versions are supported? WordPress 5.6 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. The plugin is tested with WordPress 7.1. #### Ready for the AI Search Revolution? Join WordPress sites already optimizing for the future of search. Free forever, installs in 2 minutes.

Free plugin: no file uploads, edit in the dashboard, control 12 AI bots and see which ones visit. LLMs.txt ### llms.txt Plugin for WordPress: Generate llms.txt and llms-full.txt Automatically 6 min read Prime SEO Team WordPress does not create an llms.txt file, and most hosts make it awkward to upload one by hand. Prime SEO is a free WordPress plugin that generates llms.txt and llms-full.txt for you, keeps them current as you publish, and lets you decide which AI crawlers may read your site. #### What the plugin does - Creates /llms.txt automatically. The file is available at yoursite.com/llms.txt right after activation. There is no file to upload and no FTP step. - Builds it from your real content. Site name, description, main pages, categories and tags are read from WordPress, so the file never goes stale. - Lets you edit it. Prefer your own wording? Write or paste a custom llms.txt in the dashboard editor and the plugin serves that instead. - Adds /llms-full.txt on request. An extended file with the full text of your posts and pages, for AI tools that want everything in one request. - Controls 12 AI crawlers. Allow or block GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and the rest from one screen. The matching robots.txt rules are written for you. - Shows who actually came. AI Crawler Stats log visits from AI bots, including requests for llms.txt itself. All of this is in the free version on WordPress.org. #### How to add llms.txt to WordPress - In your WordPress dashboard open Plugins → Add New, search for Prime SEO, install and activate it. - Open yoursite.com/llms.txt in a browser. The file is already there. - Go to Prime SEO → AI Settings to choose which sections are included, edit the text, or switch on llms-full.txt. The file is virtual: WordPress generates it on request, the same way it serves robots.txt. Nothing is written to your server's root folder, so it works on managed hosts where you cannot upload files, and it disappears cleanly if you remove the plugin. #### What the generated file looks like The plugin follows the llms.txt proposal: a Markdown document with a title, a short summary and lists of links. ``` # Your Site Name > One-sentence description of what the site is about ## About A short paragraph about the site. ## Navigation - [Services](https://yoursite.com/services/) - [Pricing](https://yoursite.com/pricing/) - [Blog](https://yoursite.com/blog/) ## Categories - [Guides](https://yoursite.com/category/guides/) ## Contact hello@yoursite.com ``` You choose which of these sections appear. If you need something the generator does not produce, such as a hand-picked list of your ten most important articles, switch to the custom editor and write it yourself. #### llms-full.txt for WordPress llms-full.txt carries the same header as llms.txt and then the full text of your content, one entry per post. It is off by default, because it makes your writing available in a single file. When you enable it you pick: - which post types are included (posts and pages by default); - the maximum number of entries (100 by default), so a large site does not produce a multi-megabyte response. Not sure whether you need it? Start with llms.txt only. Documentation sites and knowledge bases benefit most from the full version. Our guide explains the difference in detail: What is llms.txt? #### Control which AI crawlers can read your site An llms.txt file is an invitation. robots.txt is the door. Prime SEO manages both from the same screen, so they never contradict each other. The AI Bots Manager covers these 12 crawlers: AI crawler | Company | Used for GPTBot | OpenAI | Model training ChatGPT-User | OpenAI | Live browsing for ChatGPT answers OAI-SearchBot | OpenAI | ChatGPT search results ClaudeBot | Anthropic | Model training anthropic-ai | Anthropic | Model training Claude-Web | Anthropic | Live browsing for Claude answers Google-Extended | Google | Gemini training (does not affect Google Search) PerplexityBot | Perplexity | Perplexity search index Applebot-Extended | Apple | Apple Intelligence training CCBot | Common Crawl | Open dataset used by many AI labs Bytespider | ByteDance | Model training Meta-ExternalAgent | Meta | Model training Three presets cover the common cases: Allow All, Block Training (training crawlers are blocked, AI search crawlers stay allowed so you can still be cited) and Block All. Custom mode lets you decide bot by bot. See the AI Bots Manager documentation. #### Does anyone actually read your llms.txt? Fair question, and the honest answer is: check your own logs. Adoption by AI companies is uneven and none of them has promised to use the file. That is why the plugin records visits from AI crawlers to your pages, your sitemap, robots.txt, llms.txt and llms-full.txt. The Dashboard shows the last seven days, the most requested URLs and a feed of recent visits, so you can see what happens on your site instead of relying on general claims. #### Manual file or plugin? | Upload a file by hand | Prime SEO Setup | Write Markdown, upload by FTP or file manager | Activate the plugin Stays current | Only if you remember to edit it | Generated from live content Works without file access | No | Yes, the file is virtual llms-full.txt | Export and paste every post yourself | One switch, with post type and size limits AI crawler rules in robots.txt | Written by hand | Managed from the same screen Know whether bots fetch it | Server log analysis | AI Crawler Stats in the dashboard A hand-written file is perfectly valid. If your site has five pages and rarely changes, it may be all you need. The plugin earns its place when content changes often or when you want the crawler controls and statistics alongside it. #### More than an llms.txt generator Prime SEO is a complete SEO plugin, so the AI features sit next to the classic ones: SEO titles and meta descriptions with a live preview, XML sitemaps, JSON-LD schema markup, redirects with a 404 monitor, IndexNow submissions, image SEO and breadcrumbs. If you already use Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress, the built-in migration tool imports your titles, descriptions, keywords and redirects. #### Frequently Asked Questions ##### Does WordPress create llms.txt by default? No. WordPress core generates robots.txt and, since version 5.5, a basic XML sitemap, but it has no llms.txt support. You need a plugin or a manually uploaded file. ##### Where is the llms.txt file stored? Nowhere on disk. Prime SEO serves it dynamically at /llms.txt, the same way WordPress serves robots.txt. If a physical llms.txt file already exists in your site root, your web server will serve that file instead, so remove it if you want the generated version. ##### Will llms.txt improve my Google rankings? No. Google has said it does not use llms.txt, and the file has no effect on classic search rankings. It is meant for AI assistants and tools that choose to read it. Your sitemap, meta tags and structured data still do the work for Google. ##### Is the llms.txt generator free? Yes. llms.txt, llms-full.txt, the AI Bots Manager and AI Crawler Stats are all part of the free plugin on WordPress.org. Prime SEO Pro adds AI-written titles and descriptions, bulk generation, AI Content Score and a video sitemap. ##### Can I use it together with Yoast SEO or Rank Math? We do not recommend running two SEO plugins at once, because both will print meta tags and sitemaps and you will get duplicates. Prime SEO is a full replacement: run the migration tool once, check the result, then deactivate the old plugin. ##### Does it work with WooCommerce and custom post types? llms.txt lists your main pages, categories and tags. For llms-full.txt you choose which post types are included, so public custom post types can be added. Product schema markup for WooCommerce is included in the free version. ##### Add llms.txt to your WordPress site in two minutes Install Prime SEO from WordPress.org. The file is live as soon as the plugin is active. Install Free Plugin --- ## AI SEO Plugin for WordPress (Free) URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/ai-seo-plugin-wordpress/ > Prime SEO is a free AI SEO plugin for WordPress: llms.txt, AI bot controls, schema, sitemaps and redirects. Pro adds AI-written titles and meta descriptions. AI SEO ### AI SEO Plugin for WordPress: Optimize for AI Search, and Let AI Write Your Meta Tags 4 min read Prime SEO Team "AI SEO" means two different things, and most plugins do only one of them. It can mean optimizing your site for AI search, so that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI features can read and cite it. Or it can mean using AI to do SEO work, such as writing titles and meta descriptions. Prime SEO does both: the first is free, the second is the Pro version. #### Free: optimize your site for AI search - llms.txt and llms-full.txt generated automatically and served without a file on disk. More about the llms.txt generator. - AI Bots Manager for 12 AI crawlers, including GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended, with presets Allow All, Block Training and Block All. - AI Crawler Stats: which AI bots visited, how often and which URLs they asked for. - AI Visibility Score: a quick readiness check on the AI Settings page. - Schema markup (JSON-LD): Organization or Person, WebSite, Article, FAQ, HowTo, Recipe, Event, Product and LocalBusiness. #### Free: the classic SEO features you expect - SEO title and meta description for every post, with character counters and a live Google preview for desktop and mobile. - An SEO score from 0 to 100, multiple focus keywords and content recommendations while you write. - XML sitemap index with image sitemap, custom post types and taxonomies. - Redirect manager (301, 302, 307, 410, 451, regex) and a 404 monitor that turns errors into redirects in one click. - Robots.txt editor, breadcrumbs, image SEO, external link rules, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. - IndexNow instant indexing and verification tags for Google, Bing, Yandex, Pinterest, Baidu and Ahrefs. - One-click migration from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress. #### Pro: AI writes your titles and descriptions Prime SEO Pro connects to OpenAI with your own API key and adds: - Generate All with AI: one click fills the SEO title, meta description, Facebook and Twitter titles and descriptions, and focus keywords for the post you are editing. - AI Bulk Generator: finds every post that is missing a title or description and fills them in batches, with progress, pause and undo. - AI Content Score: 15 checks that show how well a post is structured for AI search. - Video sitemap for YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia and Bunny Stream embeds. Because you use your own OpenAI key, there are no generation limits on our side and you pay OpenAI directly for what you use, typically well under a dollar per hundred posts with GPT-4o-mini. Pro costs $59 per year. See Prime SEO Pro. #### Free and Pro at a glance Feature | Free | Pro llms.txt and llms-full.txt | Yes | Yes AI Bots Manager (12 crawlers) and AI Crawler Stats | Yes | Yes Meta tags, SEO score, Google preview | Yes | Yes XML sitemap, schema markup, redirects, 404 monitor | Yes | Yes IndexNow, robots.txt editor, breadcrumbs, image SEO | Yes | Yes Migration from Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress | Yes | Yes AI-generated titles, descriptions and social meta | No | Yes AI Bulk Generator with undo | No | Yes AI Content Score | No | Yes Video sitemap | No | Yes #### Who it is for - Site owners who see AI assistants in their referral traffic and want control over crawlers instead of guessing. - Bloggers and small businesses who want one plugin for meta tags, sitemaps, schema and redirects, without a wall of upsells in the free version. - Agencies and large sites with hundreds of posts that never got a meta description: the Bulk Generator clears that backlog in one session. #### Getting started - Install Prime SEO from the WordPress.org plugin directory. - Follow the four-step setup wizard: homepage SEO, features, robots.txt, done. - Already using another SEO plugin? Open Migration, import your data, then deactivate the old plugin. - Open AI Settings to review llms.txt and choose which AI crawlers are allowed. Documentation for every module: Prime SEO docs. Comparisons: free WordPress SEO plugins compared and AI features of Prime SEO, Yoast, Rank Math and AIOSEO. #### Frequently Asked Questions ##### Is Prime SEO really free? Yes. The plugin on WordPress.org is free and includes llms.txt, the AI Bots Manager, AI Crawler Stats, meta tags, sitemaps, schema markup, redirects and the other modules listed above. Prime SEO Pro is a separate paid version that adds the AI writing features. ##### Do I need an OpenAI API key? Only for the Pro AI features. The free plugin does not use OpenAI and does not send your content anywhere. In Pro you enter your own key, and post titles, excerpts and content are sent to OpenAI only when you press a generate button. ##### Can I use it alongside Yoast SEO or Rank Math? You should run one SEO plugin at a time, otherwise meta tags and sitemaps are printed twice. Use the migration tool to import your existing data, check a few posts, then deactivate the previous plugin. ##### Which AI search engines does it support? The AI Bots Manager covers crawlers from OpenAI (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot), Anthropic (ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, Claude-Web), Google (Google-Extended), Perplexity, Apple, Common Crawl, ByteDance and Meta. llms.txt and schema markup are read by any tool that chooses to use them. ##### Will AI-written meta descriptions hurt my rankings? Google's guidance focuses on whether content is helpful, not on how it was produced. Treat generated titles and descriptions as drafts: the plugin shows every result before saving, and the Bulk Generator keeps an undo log. ##### Does the plugin slow down my site? Admin scripts and styles load only on Prime SEO screens and the post editor. On the front end the plugin prints meta tags and JSON-LD. The only script it can add is the Google Analytics tag, and only if you switch on the Analytics module and enter a GA4 ID. ##### Try the free AI SEO plugin Install Prime SEO from WordPress.org. No account and no API key needed for the free version. Install Free Plugin --- ## GEO WordPress Plugin — Generative Engine Optimization URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/geo-wordpress-plugin/ > A free WordPress plugin for generative engine optimization (GEO): llms.txt, AI crawler access, schema markup and AI bot statistics, next to classic SEO. GEO ### GEO Plugin for WordPress: The Technical Side of Generative Engine Optimization, Handled 5 min read Prime SEO Team Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the work of getting your content found, understood and cited by AI search products such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews and Claude. Part of that work is writing. The other part is technical, and that part is what a WordPress plugin can take off your hands. Prime SEO is a free WordPress SEO plugin built with that technical layer in mind. This page explains what it covers, and what no plugin can do for you. #### What a GEO plugin can and cannot do No plugin can make an AI assistant quote you. Citations are earned by content that answers a question clearly and that other sources agree with. What a plugin can do is remove the technical reasons an AI system might skip or misread your site: - the crawler is blocked, or you do not know whether it is; - the site offers no machine-readable summary of what it is about; - pages lack structured data, so facts such as author, date, price or FAQ answers must be guessed; - new and updated pages take weeks to be discovered; - you have no data on which AI bots visit and what they read. #### The GEO checklist, mapped to plugin features GEO task | How Prime SEO handles it | Version Let AI search crawlers in, decide about training crawlers | AI Bots Manager: 12 crawlers, presets Allow All / Block Training / Block All, rules written to robots.txt | Free Give AI tools a summary of the site | Automatic llms.txt, optional llms-full.txt with full content | Free Make facts machine-readable | JSON-LD schema: Organization or Person, WebSite, Article, FAQ, HowTo, Recipe, Event, Product, LocalBusiness with 40+ subtypes | Free Get new content discovered quickly | XML sitemap index with image sitemap, IndexNow submissions to Bing and other IndexNow engines | Free Measure AI crawler activity | AI Crawler Stats: visits by bot, most requested URLs, recent activity | Free See overall readiness | AI Visibility Score on the AI Settings page | Free Check whether a post is written in a citable way | AI Content Score: 15 checks for structure, answers and clarity | Pro Fill missing titles and descriptions | AI Generator and Bulk Generator (your own OpenAI key) | Pro #### 1. Crawler access: search bots versus training bots AI crawlers fall into two groups. Search and browsing agents such as OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot and Claude-Web fetch pages to answer a user's question, and they are the ones that can send you visitors. Training crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and CCBot collect text for model training. Many site owners want the first group and have mixed feelings about the second. The Block Training preset does exactly that split in one click. The full list of supported crawlers: AI crawler | Company | Used for GPTBot | OpenAI | Model training ChatGPT-User | OpenAI | Live browsing for ChatGPT answers OAI-SearchBot | OpenAI | ChatGPT search results ClaudeBot | Anthropic | Model training anthropic-ai | Anthropic | Model training Claude-Web | Anthropic | Live browsing for Claude answers Google-Extended | Google | Gemini training (does not affect Google Search) PerplexityBot | Perplexity | Perplexity search index Applebot-Extended | Apple | Apple Intelligence training CCBot | Common Crawl | Open dataset used by many AI labs Bytespider | ByteDance | Model training Meta-ExternalAgent | Meta | Model training #### 2. A machine-readable summary: llms.txt llms.txt is a short Markdown file that tells AI tools what your site is and where the important pages are. Prime SEO generates it from your WordPress content and serves it at /llms.txt without creating a file on disk. Details and a sample file: llms.txt plugin for WordPress. #### 3. Structured data AI systems can rely on Schema markup states facts explicitly: who published the page, when it was updated, what the product costs, what the answer to a question is. Search engines use it for rich results, and AI systems that build on search indexes inherit it. Prime SEO outputs JSON-LD for the site (Organization or Person, WebSite with search action, social profiles) and for content (Article, FAQ and HowTo detected from your text, Recipe, Event, Product for WooCommerce, LocalBusiness). Guide: Schema markup for WordPress. #### 4. Fast discovery of new content Bing's index feeds several AI assistants, so being indexed there quickly matters more than it used to. The Instant Indexing module submits new and updated URLs through IndexNow, and the XML sitemap index keeps a complete list for every crawler. The plugin skips IndexNow submissions from local, staging and non-public sites. #### 5. Measure, do not assume GEO advice is full of confident claims and little data. AI Crawler Stats give you your own numbers: which AI bots visited in the last seven days, how often, and which URLs they requested, including llms.txt, robots.txt and your sitemaps. If PerplexityBot never shows up, you know where to look before rewriting any content. #### Set it up in about ten minutes - Install Prime SEO from WordPress.org and run the setup wizard. - If you are moving from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress, run Prime SEO → Migration first so your existing titles and descriptions carry over. - Open AI Settings, pick a crawler preset and review the generated llms.txt. - Open Schema Markup and fill in the Knowledge Graph details: organization or person, logo, social profiles. - Enable Instant Indexing so updates are submitted through IndexNow. - Come back after a week and read the AI Crawler Stats. The content side of GEO is covered in our long guide: Generative Engine Optimization: what it is and how to do it on WordPress. #### Frequently Asked Questions ##### What is GEO in SEO? GEO stands for generative engine optimization: improving the chance that AI search products such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews find, understand and cite your content. It builds on classic SEO rather than replacing it. ##### Is there a GEO plugin for WordPress? Yes. Prime SEO is a free WordPress plugin that covers the technical parts of GEO: AI crawler access, llms.txt, schema markup, IndexNow and AI crawler statistics, together with standard SEO features. ##### What is the difference between GEO and SEO? SEO aims at a position in a list of links. GEO aims at being used as a source inside a generated answer. The foundations overlap: crawlable pages, clear structure, accurate structured data and trustworthy content serve both. ##### Can a plugin guarantee that ChatGPT cites my site? No, and you should be wary of any tool that promises it. A plugin removes technical obstacles and gives you data. Whether you are cited depends on the quality and clarity of your content and on how well other sources support it. ##### Does schema markup help with AI search? It helps AI systems that rely on search engine indexes read facts correctly, such as dates, authors, prices and question and answer pairs. It is not a ranking switch, but it reduces the chance of being misread. ##### Should I block AI training crawlers? That is a business decision. Blocking training crawlers does not remove you from AI search, as long as search and browsing agents stay allowed. The Block Training preset applies exactly that split. ##### Get your WordPress site ready for AI search Prime SEO is free on WordPress.org. Setup takes about ten minutes. Install Free Plugin --- ## Getting Started URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/getting-started/ > Install Prime SEO, run the setup wizard, and start optimizing your WordPress site for both traditional and AI search engines. ### Getting Started Install Prime SEO and optimize your WordPress site for both traditional and AI search engines in under 5 minutes. #### Installation Prime SEO installs just like any other WordPress plugin. There are two ways to install it: ##### From WordPress.org (recommended) Open your WordPress dashboard Navigate to Plugins → Add New in your WordPress admin panel. Search for "Prime SEO" Type "Prime SEO" in the search box. Look for the plugin with the indigo logo. Install and Activate Click Install Now, then Activate. The setup wizard will launch automatically. ##### Manual upload Download the ZIP file from WordPress.org, then go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and upload the ZIP file. System Requirements WordPress 5.6 or higher and PHP 7.4 or higher. Prime SEO is tested up to WordPress 6.9. #### Setup Wizard After activation, Prime SEO launches a 4-step setup wizard that helps you configure the essential settings. ##### Step 1: Homepage SEO Set your homepage title and meta description. Prime SEO will use these for your front page's SEO meta tags. If you leave them empty, WordPress defaults will be used. ##### Step 2: Features Choose which modules to enable. All modules are enabled by default, but you can disable any you don't need: - XML Sitemaps — auto-generated sitemaps for search engines - Schema Markup — structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets - Redirects — URL redirect manager with 404 monitoring - Image SEO — automatic alt text and title attributes - External Links — auto nofollow and new tab for external links - Breadcrumbs — structured breadcrumb navigation - Analytics — Google Analytics 4 integration - Instant Indexing — IndexNow API for fast indexing ##### Step 3: Robots.txt & AI Configure how search engines and AI crawlers interact with your site. You can choose a preset for AI bots: - Allow All — all AI crawlers can access your site - Block Training — allow AI search but block training crawlers - Block All — block all AI crawlers ##### Step 4: Done The wizard confirms your setup. You can go to the Dashboard or Settings to customize further. Tip You can re-run the setup wizard at any time from Prime SEO → Tools → Setup Wizard. #### SEO Metabox When editing any post or page, you'll see the Prime SEO metabox below the editor. It has several tabs: - SEO — Title, description, focus keyword, Google preview, SEO score - Social — Open Graph and Twitter Card settings - Advanced — Canonical URL, noindex/nofollow, schema type The SEO Score analyzes your content in real-time and provides suggestions for improvement. It checks title length, meta description, keyword usage, headings, and more. The Google Preview shows exactly how your page will appear in search results, including title truncation and description length. #### Enabling Modules Each module can be toggled on or off independently. Navigate to Prime SEO → Settings to manage modules, or toggle them directly from the Dashboard page. Every module page also has a toggle card at the top, so you can enable/disable the module from its own settings page. Note Disabling a module removes its output from your site but preserves all settings. Re-enabling it restores everything. #### AI Settings Prime SEO's unique AI features are managed from Prime SEO → AI Settings. This page has two main sections: - AI Bots Manager — control which AI crawlers can access your site (read more) - LLMs.txt — generate machine-readable site instructions for AI engines (read more) These features are what make Prime SEO unique — it's a WordPress SEO plugin built specifically for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google Gemini. #### Next Steps Now that Prime SEO is installed and configured, here's what to do next: - Configure XML Sitemaps — customize which content appears in your sitemap - Set up Schema Markup — configure your Knowledge Graph and structured data - Manage AI Bots — control how AI engines interact with your content - Connect Google Analytics — add your GA4 measurement ID If you're migrating from another SEO plugin, check the Migration Guide to import your existing data. #### Ready to optimize your site? Install Prime SEO in under 2 minutes. Free forever. Install Free Plugin --- ## LLMs.txt URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/llms-txt/ > Generate and manage LLMs.txt files for your WordPress site. Help AI engines understand your content structure and access your best pages. ### LLMs.txt Help AI engines understand your site's content structure with machine-readable instruction files. #### What is LLMs.txt? LLMs.txt is an emerging standard (like robots.txt but for AI) that tells large language models about your website's structure, content, and how to best understand it. Think of it as a "readme file" for AI — it provides context about what your site is about and which pages are most important. While robots.txt controls which pages crawlers can access, llms.txt goes a step further: it actively helps AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google Gemini understand your content, prioritize your best pages, and represent your site more accurately in AI-generated answers. #### How It Works Prime SEO automatically generates two files for your site: - yoursite.com/llms.txt — Standard version with site info and important page links - yoursite.com/llms-full.txt — Extended version with actual page content for deeper AI understanding Both files are generated dynamically on every request, so they are always up-to-date and require no manual maintenance. When you publish a new post or update a page, the changes are reflected immediately. Under the hood, Prime SEO uses Dynamic Rewrites to serve these files. This means they work instantly after plugin activation — no need to flush permalinks or touch your .htaccess file. #### Standard LLMs.txt The standard llms.txt file contains a concise overview of your site: - Site name and description — pulled from your WordPress settings - Important pages — homepage, about, contact, and other key pages - Latest posts — with titles and URLs - Categories and tags — your content taxonomy structure - Custom content — any additional context you add manually It's lightweight and fast — perfect for AI crawlers that want a quick overview of your site without downloading every page. Think of it as your site's elevator pitch to an AI engine. #### Full LLMs.txt (llms-full.txt) The extended version includes everything from the standard file plus the actual content of your most important posts and pages: - Full content of your most important posts and pages - Formatted as clean, readable text — HTML tags are stripped, leaving only the content - Configurable post count — choose how many posts to include (default: 100) - Post type selection — choose which post types to include (posts, pages, products, etc.) This gives AI engines a deep understanding of your content without requiring them to crawl your entire site page by page. Warning The full version can be very large for sites with many posts. Consider limiting the number of posts if your site has thousands of articles. #### Customizing Content Navigate to Prime SEO → AI Settings → LLMs.txt section to customize your file. You can: - Edit the custom content that appears at the top of your llms.txt file - The editor supports plain text format — write naturally, as if you were explaining your site to someone - Add instructions, site description, or any context you want AI to know about your site For example, you might write something like: - What your business does and who it serves - Which pages are most authoritative or frequently updated - How your content is organized (blog categories, product lines, etc.) - Any special instructions for how AI should interpret your content #### Sections Configuration Choose which sections to include in your generated llms.txt file: - Site Info (name, description, URL) — always included as the foundation of your file - Pages — your published pages with titles and URLs - Posts — your blog posts, ordered by most recent - Categories — your content taxonomy for structural context - Custom content — your manually written text and instructions Toggle sections on or off depending on what's relevant for your site. A small portfolio site might only need Site Info and Pages, while a large blog would benefit from including Posts and Categories as well. #### Verifying Your Files After configuring your LLMs.txt settings, verify that everything is working by visiting these URLs in your browser: - yoursite.com/llms.txt — your standard LLMs.txt file - yoursite.com/llms-full.txt — your extended version (if enabled) Both files should display as plain text with your site information, content links, and any custom text you've added. Tip Both files work immediately after plugin activation — no need to flush permalinks or configure rewrite rules. Prime SEO uses dynamic rewrites that inject the necessary rules on the fly. If you have caching enabled (via a plugin like WP Super Cache or a CDN like Cloudflare), you may need to purge your cache after making changes to see the updated files immediately. #### Ready to optimize your site? Install Prime SEO in under 2 minutes. Free forever. Install Free Plugin --- ## AI Bots Manager URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/ai-bots-manager/ > Control how AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini crawl your WordPress site. Manage 12 AI bots with presets or custom rules. ### AI Bots Manager Control how AI search engines and training crawlers interact with your site. Manage 12 AI bots with presets or per-bot rules. #### Overview Prime SEO includes a built-in AI Bots Manager that lets you control which AI crawlers can access your site. Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on Google, the AI Bots Manager deals specifically with AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) and AI training crawlers (GPTBot, CCBot, Google-Extended). As AI-powered search becomes more prevalent, controlling how these bots interact with your content is critical. The AI Bots Manager gives you granular control over 16 known AI crawlers, letting you decide which ones can access your site and which ones should be blocked. This is one of the features that makes Prime SEO unique — most traditional SEO plugins don't offer any AI crawler management at all. #### Accessing AI Bots Manager Navigate to Prime SEO → AI Settings in your WordPress admin panel. The AI Bots Manager is the first section on the page, displayed above the LLMs.txt settings. You'll see a preset selector at the top, followed by a list of all 16 supported AI bots with their current status. #### Presets Prime SEO provides four presets to quickly configure your AI bot rules. Select a preset from the dropdown at the top of the AI Bots Manager section: - Allow All — All AI crawlers can access your site. This is the default setting and is recommended for most sites that want maximum visibility in AI search results. - Block Training — Allows AI search bots (like ChatGPT-User and PerplexityBot) but blocks training-only crawlers (like GPTBot and CCBot). Your content will still appear in AI search results, but it won't be used to train AI models. - Block All — Blocks all AI crawlers completely. Your content will not appear in any AI search results and will not be used for AI training. - Custom — Configure each bot individually. Use this when you need fine-grained control over specific crawlers. Tip If you want AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity to find and cite your content, use "Allow All" or "Block Training". These presets ensure your site remains visible in AI-powered search while giving you control over training usage. #### Individual Bot Control When using the Custom preset, you can toggle each of the 16 supported AI bots individually. Each bot entry displays the bot name, the company behind it, its type (Search or Training), and the current status (Allowed or Blocked). Here is the complete list of AI bots that Prime SEO manages: Bot Name | Company | Type | Default GPTBot | OpenAI | Training | Allowed ChatGPT-User | OpenAI | Search | Allowed OAI-SearchBot | OpenAI | Search | Allowed ClaudeBot | Anthropic | Training | Allowed anthropic-ai | Anthropic | Training | Allowed Claude-Web | Anthropic | Search | Allowed Google-Extended | Google | Training | Allowed PerplexityBot | Perplexity | Search | Allowed Applebot-Extended | Apple | Training | Allowed CCBot | Common Crawl | Training | Blocked Bytespider | ByteDance | Training | Blocked Meta-ExternalAgent | Meta | Training | Blocked To block a specific bot, switch to the Custom preset, then toggle the bot off. Click Save Changes to apply your configuration. #### Bot Categories AI bots are divided into two main categories based on their purpose: ##### Search Bots Search bots are used by AI-powered search products to find answers for users in real time. When someone asks ChatGPT a question, asks Perplexity for research, or uses Google Gemini, these bots crawl the web to find relevant content. Prime SEO manages four of them: ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-Web and PerplexityBot. Blocking search bots means your content will not appear in AI-powered search results. For most sites, this is not desirable since AI search is becoming an increasingly important source of traffic and citations. ##### Training Bots Training bots crawl websites to collect data for training AI language models. This data is used to improve the AI's knowledge and capabilities, but it does not directly result in your content being shown to users in search results. Prime SEO manages eight of them: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider and Meta-ExternalAgent. Blocking training bots prevents your content from being used to train AI models while still allowing AI search engines to find and cite your content. This is a good middle ground for sites that want AI visibility without contributing to model training. Note Some companies use separate bots for search and training. For example, OpenAI uses ChatGPT-User for search and GPTBot for training. This is why the "Block Training" preset can allow AI search while blocking training — it targets only the training-specific bots. #### Robots.txt Integration Prime SEO automatically adds the appropriate rules to your site's robots.txt file based on your AI bot settings. You do not need to manually edit your robots.txt file. When you block a bot, Prime SEO adds a Disallow: / rule for that bot's user-agent. For example, if you block GPTBot and CCBot, the following rules are automatically added: ``` User-agent: GPTBot Disallow: / User-agent: CCBot Disallow: / ``` When you allow a bot, no rule is needed since bots are allowed by default when no specific rule exists in robots.txt. These rules are injected dynamically and do not modify any physical robots.txt file on your server. They work through WordPress's virtual robots.txt system, which means they apply automatically and are removed cleanly if you deactivate the plugin. Tip You can verify your robots.txt rules at any time by visiting yourdomain.com/robots.txt in your browser. The AI bot rules will appear alongside any other robots.txt rules managed by Prime SEO. #### Best Practices Here are some recommendations for configuring the AI Bots Manager based on different types of websites: - If you want maximum AI visibility — use the "Allow All" preset. This ensures your content can appear in all AI search products and is the best option for growing your reach. - If you want AI search but not training — use the "Block Training" preset. Your content will still appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini search results, but it won't be used to train future AI models. - For news and media sites — allowing search bots is crucial for appearing in AI-powered news summaries and answers. Consider using "Allow All" or "Block Training" to maximize citations. - For sites with proprietary content — if your content is behind a paywall or is highly proprietary, "Block All" may be appropriate. However, keep in mind this also removes you from AI search results. - Review your settings periodically — new AI crawlers emerge regularly. Prime SEO updates its bot list with plugin updates, so make sure to check your settings after each update to ensure new bots are configured to your preference. Note Robots.txt is a voluntary standard. While all major AI companies respect robots.txt rules, there is no technical enforcement mechanism. The AI Bots Manager provides the industry-standard way to communicate your preferences to AI crawlers. #### Ready to optimize your site? Install Prime SEO in under 2 minutes. Free forever. Install Free Plugin --- ## XML Sitemaps URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/xml-sitemap/ > Configure XML sitemaps for your WordPress site. Automatic sitemap generation for posts, pages, categories, authors, and images. ### XML Sitemaps Automatic sitemap generation for posts, pages, categories, authors, and images to help search engines discover your content. #### Overview Prime SEO generates XML sitemaps automatically for all your public content. The sitemap module creates a sitemap index at yoursite.com/sitemap.xml that links to individual sitemaps for each content type. Sitemaps work instantly after activation — no need to flush permalinks. Prime SEO uses Dynamic Rewrites technology for immediate availability. Note Prime SEO's sitemap automatically replaces WordPress core sitemaps (wp-sitemap.xml) to provide more features like image sitemaps and XSL styling. #### Sitemap Structure The sitemap index links to individual sitemaps for each content type on your site: URL | Content /sitemap.xml | Sitemap Index (links to all sub-sitemaps) /post-sitemap.xml | Published posts /page-sitemap.xml | Published pages /category-sitemap.xml | Categories /post_tag-sitemap.xml | Tags /author-sitemap.xml | Authors Each sitemap supports up to 1,000 URLs. If you have more, Prime SEO creates additional pages automatically (e.g., /post-sitemap2.xml, /post-sitemap3.xml). The sitemap is styled with XSL for easy viewing in browsers — it looks like a clean, readable table instead of raw XML. #### Post Type Sitemaps By default, all public post types are included in the sitemap. You can toggle each post type from the Sitemap settings page. Supported post types include: - Posts — your blog posts and articles - Pages — static pages like About, Contact, etc. - Custom post types — WooCommerce Products, portfolio items, and any other registered public post type Each entry in the sitemap includes the URL, last modified date, and change frequency to help search engines prioritize crawling. #### Taxonomy Sitemaps Categories, tags, and custom taxonomies are included in the sitemap by default. You can toggle each taxonomy individually from the Sitemap settings page. Taxonomy sitemaps help search engines discover your archive pages, which can drive significant traffic for sites with well-organized content structures. #### Image Sitemaps When enabled (default), Prime SEO includes image data in post and page sitemaps. This helps Google discover images attached to your content, potentially improving visibility in Google Images. Image sitemap entries include the image URL, title, and caption when available. This is especially useful for photography sites, portfolios, and e-commerce stores where image search traffic matters. #### Author Sitemaps Author sitemaps include author archive pages in your sitemap. This is useful for multi-author blogs where each author's archive page contains unique, valuable content. If your site has a single author or you don't use author archives, you can disable author sitemaps from the Sitemap settings page to keep your sitemap focused. #### Excluding Content Individual posts and pages can be excluded from the sitemap: Edit the post or page Open the post or page you want to exclude in the WordPress editor. Open the Prime SEO metabox Scroll down to the Prime SEO metabox and click the Advanced tab. Enable "Noindex this page" Check the noindex option. Noindexed content is automatically excluded from the sitemap. This is useful for pages like Thank You pages, landing page variants, or any content you don't want search engines to index. #### Submitting to Search Engines Prime SEO adds your sitemap URL to robots.txt automatically, so search engines can discover it on their own. However, you can also submit it manually for faster discovery: - Google Search Console — go to the Sitemaps section and add yoursite.com/sitemap.xml - Bing Webmaster Tools — submit your sitemap URL via the Sitemaps section in your dashboard Tip For faster indexing of new content, combine sitemaps with the Instant Indexing module, which notifies search engines immediately when you publish. #### Ready to optimize your site?

Install Free Plugin --- ## Schema Markup URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/schema-markup/ > Add JSON-LD structured data to your WordPress site. Configure Knowledge Graph, Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product, and more schema types. ### Schema Markup Add JSON-LD structured data to your WordPress site for rich snippets in search results. #### Overview Prime SEO generates JSON-LD structured data for your pages, helping search engines understand your content and display rich snippets (star ratings, FAQ dropdowns, recipe cards, etc.). All schema is output as JSON-LD in the section — the format recommended by Google. Navigate to Prime SEO → Schema Markup to configure global settings. #### Knowledge Graph The Knowledge Graph tells Google who you are. Configure it from the Schema Markup page: ##### Organization Choose this option for businesses and brands. You can configure the following fields: - Organization name — your company or brand name - Logo — your organization's logo image - Email — contact email address - Phone — contact phone number - Address — street, city, state, postal code, and country This generates an Organization schema with a ContactPoint for your business information. ##### Person Choose this option for personal blogs and individual sites. You can configure: - Person name — your full name - Job title — your role or profession - Image — a photo or avatar - Social profiles — URLs to your social media accounts This generates a Person schema with linked social profiles. Knowledge Graph in Search The Knowledge Graph appears in Google's sidebar when someone searches for your brand name. It pulls data directly from your structured data, so keeping it accurate and complete improves your brand presence in search results. #### Per-Post Schema Types Each post or page can have its own schema type. In the post editor, open the Prime SEO metabox → Advanced tab → Schema Type dropdown to select the appropriate type for that content. When no specific schema type is selected, Prime SEO uses sensible defaults: Article for posts and WebPage for pages. #### Supported Schema Types Prime SEO supports the following schema types, covering the most common content formats on the web: Type | Best For | Auto-detect Article | Blog posts, news | Default for posts BlogPosting | Blog articles | — NewsArticle | News articles | — WebPage | Static pages | Default for pages FAQPage | FAQ sections | Yes HowTo | Tutorials, guides | Yes Recipe | Food recipes | — Event | Events, conferences | — Book | Books, publications | — Product | WooCommerce products | WooCommerce LocalBusiness | Local businesses | — #### Automatic Detection Prime SEO can automatically detect FAQ and HowTo content in your posts. When it finds patterns — like

headings followed by answer paragraphs, or numbered step-by-step instructions — it suggests the appropriate schema type. This helps ensure your content gets the right structured data without manual configuration for every post. Tip For FAQ pages, use proper heading structure: H2 for questions, followed by paragraph answers. Prime SEO will auto-detect and generate FAQPage schema. #### Testing Your Schema After configuring your schema settings, it's important to verify that the structured data is output correctly. Follow these steps: Visit your page Open any page on your site where schema should be present. View the source code Right-click the page and select "View Page Source". Search for application/ld+json to find the JSON-LD block. Use Google's Rich Results Test Paste your page URL into Google's Rich Results Test to see which rich results your page is eligible for. Validate with Schema.org Use the Schema.org Validator to check your structured data against the official specification. Important Changes to Knowledge Graph settings are applied site-wide. Per-post schema types only affect individual posts and pages. #### Ready to optimize your site? Install Prime SEO in under 2 minutes. Free forever. Install Free Plugin --- ## Redirects & 404 Monitor URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/redirects/ > Manage URL redirects and monitor 404 errors on your WordPress site. Create 301, 302, and 307 redirects with an easy interface. ### Redirects & 404 Monitor Manage URL redirects and monitor 404 errors to maintain your site's SEO health. #### Overview The Redirects module helps you manage URL redirects and monitor 404 (not found) errors on your WordPress site. Broken links and missing pages hurt your SEO rankings and frustrate visitors. With Prime SEO's Redirects module, you can fix these issues quickly. Navigate to Prime SEO → Redirects to access both features. The page has two tabs: - Redirects — create and manage URL redirects - 404 Monitor — view a log of all 404 errors on your site #### Creating Redirects To create a new redirect, click the Add Redirect button and fill in the following fields: - Source URL — the old URL path that visitors or search engines are trying to access (e.g., /old-page/) - Target URL — where the visitor should be sent instead (e.g., /new-page/ or a full external URL) - Type — the redirect type: 301, 302, or 307 Tip You only need to enter the path for source URLs on the same site. For external targets, use the full URL including https://. #### Redirect Types Prime SEO supports three redirect types. Choose the right one depending on whether the move is permanent or temporary. Type | Name | When to Use 301 | Permanent | Page permanently moved. Passes SEO value to the new URL. This is the most common type. 302 | Temporary | Page temporarily moved. Does not pass SEO value. Use when you plan to bring the original URL back. 307 | Temporary (strict) | Like 302 but preserves the original HTTP method (POST stays POST). Rare use case. Note Use 301 redirects for most cases. They tell search engines to transfer ranking signals to the new URL, which preserves your SEO value. #### 404 Monitor The 404 Monitor tab logs every time a visitor or bot encounters a page that doesn't exist on your site. This helps you identify broken links, outdated bookmarks, and crawl errors. Each entry in the 404 log shows: - URL — the URL that was accessed and returned a 404 error - Date and time — when the 404 error occurred - Number of hits — how many times this URL has been requested - Referrer — where the visitor came from (the linking page) - User agent — the browser or bot that made the request Warning The 404 log can grow large on busy sites. Clear old entries periodically from the 404 Monitor tab to keep your database clean. #### Creating Redirects from 404 Logs Found a broken link in your 404 logs? You can create a redirect directly from the log entry. Click the redirect icon next to any 404 entry, and a new redirect form will open with the source URL pre-filled. This workflow makes it easy to fix broken links as you discover them: Review your 404 logs Check the 404 Monitor tab for URLs with high hit counts — these are your most impactful broken links. Click the redirect icon Next to the 404 entry, click the redirect icon to open the redirect creation form with the source URL already filled in. Set the target URL and type Enter the correct destination URL and choose 301 (permanent) for most cases. Save the redirect. #### Fallback Redirect You can configure a fallback redirect URL in Prime SEO → Settings. When a visitor hits any 404 page, they will be automatically redirected to this URL instead of seeing the default 404 error page. Common choices for the fallback URL include: - Your homepage — sends lost visitors to your main page - A custom 404 page — a dedicated page with helpful navigation and search - Empty — leave the field blank to use WordPress's default 404 behavior Tip The fallback redirect only applies to URLs that don't have a specific redirect rule. Individual redirects always take priority over the fallback. #### Import & Export You can export all your redirects as a CSV file and import them on another site. This is useful for site migrations, staging-to-production workflows, or when setting up a new site with the same redirect rules. To export redirects, go to Prime SEO → Redirects and click the Export button. The CSV file will contain all redirect rules including source URL, target URL, and redirect type. To import redirects, click Import and upload a CSV file in the same format. Existing redirects with matching source URLs will be updated; new ones will be added. #### Ready to optimize your site?

Install Free Plugin --- ## Instant Indexing URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/instant-indexing/ > Submit URLs to search engines instantly using the IndexNow API. Get your content indexed faster with automatic and manual submission. ### Instant Indexing Submit URLs to search engines instantly using the IndexNow API. Get your new and updated content indexed faster. #### Overview The Instant Indexing module uses the IndexNow API to notify search engines immediately when you publish or update content. Instead of waiting for crawlers to discover changes, IndexNow tells them directly — resulting in much faster indexing. Navigate to Prime SEO → Instant Indexing to configure the module. #### How IndexNow Works IndexNow is a protocol that allows websites to notify search engines about URL changes. When you publish a new post, Prime SEO sends a ping to the IndexNow API with the URL. Participating search engines (Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam) then prioritize crawling that URL. Good to know IndexNow is supported by Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam. Google has been testing IndexNow support but hasn't officially adopted it yet. However, submitting to IndexNow still benefits your Bing rankings significantly. #### Configuration Setting up Instant Indexing takes just a few seconds: Open the Instant Indexing page Navigate to Prime SEO → Instant Indexing in your WordPress admin panel. Enable the module Toggle the module on using the switch at the top of the page. API key is generated automatically Prime SEO automatically generates and manages your IndexNow API key. No manual setup is needed. Key verification The API key is verified automatically. It is stored as a file at yoursite.com/{key}.txt as required by the IndexNow protocol. #### Auto-Submit When enabled, Prime SEO automatically submits URLs to IndexNow when: - A new post or page is published - An existing post or page is updated - A post's status changes from draft to published Tip Auto-submit is the recommended setting. It ensures every new piece of content is immediately notified to search engines without any manual effort. #### Manual Submission You can also manually submit individual URLs from two places: - Instant Indexing page — enter any URL from your site and click Submit to send it to IndexNow immediately. - Prime SEO Dashboard — use the Quick Index feature to submit your latest posts with one click. Manual submission is useful when you want to re-submit a specific URL or index a page that was published before you enabled the module. #### Supported Search Engines IndexNow is supported by several major search engines. When you submit a URL, all participating engines are notified through a single API call. Search Engine | Status | Notes Bing | Supported | Primary IndexNow partner Yandex | Supported | Russian search engine Naver | Supported | Korean search engine Seznam | Supported | Czech search engine Google | Testing | Not officially supported yet #### Submission History The Instant Indexing page shows a log of recent submissions so you can track what has been sent to search engines. Each entry includes: - URL submitted — the full URL that was sent to IndexNow - Date and time — when the submission was made - Response status — whether the submission was successful or returned an error Warning IndexNow has rate limits. Don't submit the same URL repeatedly. Prime SEO handles this automatically by only submitting when content actually changes. #### Ready to optimize your site? Install Prime SEO in under 2 minutes.

Simple GA4 integration with role-based tracking exclusions. ### Analytics (GA4) Connect Google Analytics 4 to your WordPress site with a simple, lightweight integration. #### Overview Prime SEO includes a lightweight Google Analytics 4 (GA4) integration. It adds the GA4 tracking script to your site's frontend without any bloat — no dashboard widgets, no heavy reporting features. Just clean, efficient tracking. Navigate to Prime SEO → Analytics to configure. #### Setting Up GA4 Navigate to the Analytics page Go to Prime SEO → Analytics in your WordPress admin panel. Enable the Analytics module Toggle the module switch at the top of the page to enable it. Enter your GA4 Measurement ID Paste your Measurement ID (starts with G-) into the input field. Save Changes Click Save Changes. The tracking script loads automatically on all frontend pages after saving. #### Finding Your Measurement ID If you don't have your GA4 Measurement ID yet, follow these steps to find it: Open Google Analytics Go to analytics.google.com and sign in. Open Admin settings Click Admin (gear icon at the bottom left). Go to Data Streams In the Property column, click Data Streams. Select your web stream Click on the web data stream for your site. Copy the Measurement ID You'll see the Measurement ID at the top of the stream details. It follows the format G-XXXXXXXXXX. Important Make sure you're using a GA4 property, not a Universal Analytics (UA-) property. Universal Analytics was sunset by Google in July 2024. #### Role Exclusions You can exclude specific WordPress user roles from being tracked. This prevents admin visits from inflating your analytics data. Common exclusions: - Administrator — always recommended - Editor — recommended for editorial teams - Author — optional Navigate to the Analytics settings and check the roles you want to exclude. Tip At minimum, exclude the Administrator role to keep your analytics clean. Your own visits while managing the site would otherwise skew the data. #### Tracking Behavior The GA4 tracking script: - Loads on all frontend pages (not in wp-admin) - Uses the official Google gtag.js library - Respects role exclusions — logged-in users with excluded roles don't get tracked - Does not add any tracking to the WordPress admin area #### Troubleshooting ##### No data in Google Analytics - Verify your Measurement ID is correct (starts with G-) - Check that the module is enabled - Wait 24–48 hours — GA4 data can take time to appear - Make sure you're not logged in as an excluded role ##### Tracking script not loading - Check if the Analytics module is enabled in Prime SEO → Settings - Verify no caching plugin is serving an old version of your pages - View page source and search for gtag to confirm the script is present Warning If you're using another analytics plugin or manually adding GA4 code, disable one to avoid duplicate tracking. #### Ready to optimize your site? Install Prime SEO in under 2 minutes. Free forever. Install Free Plugin --- ## Image SEO URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/image-seo/ > Automatically optimize image alt text and title attributes on your WordPress site. Improve accessibility and image search visibility. ### Image SEO Automatically optimize image alt text and title attributes for better accessibility and search visibility. #### Overview The Image SEO module automatically adds alt text and title attributes to images that are missing them. This improves both accessibility (screen readers rely on alt text to describe images to visually impaired users) and SEO (search engines use alt text to understand what an image depicts and rank it in image search results). Enable the module from Prime SEO → Settings and scroll to the Image SEO section. #### How It Works When WordPress renders a page, Prime SEO checks each image in the content. If an image is missing an alt text attribute or a title attribute, Prime SEO generates one automatically based on: - The image filename — cleaned up by removing dashes and underscores, then properly capitalized - The post title — used as additional context when the filename alone is not descriptive - The image caption — used if available and more descriptive than the filename Note Image SEO only fills in missing attributes. It never overwrites alt text or titles you've manually set. #### Alt Text Generation For images without alt text, Prime SEO generates descriptive text from the filename. The module strips file extensions, replaces dashes and underscores with spaces, and applies proper capitalization: - blue-mountain-landscape.jpg → "Blue mountain landscape" - product_photo_001.png → "Product photo 001" - IMG_20240115.jpg → uses the post title instead, since the filename is not descriptive When the filename consists only of random characters or camera-generated codes (like IMG_ or DSC_ prefixes), Prime SEO falls back to the post title to produce meaningful alt text. #### Title Attributes When enabled, the title attribute is added to images that are missing one. The title attribute creates a hover tooltip when users mouse over the image. This uses the same generation logic as alt text — the filename is cleaned up, and the post title is used as a fallback for non-descriptive filenames. #### Configuration Navigate to Prime SEO → Settings and scroll to the Image SEO section. You'll find two options: - Auto Alt Text — Enable or disable automatic alt text generation for images missing the alt attribute - Auto Title — Enable or disable automatic title attribute generation for images missing the title attribute Both options are independent — you can enable one without the other depending on your needs. Tip Always provide manual alt text for important images in your content. The auto-generated alt text is a safety net for images you might forget to label. #### Best Practices Follow these guidelines to get the most out of Image SEO and ensure your images are properly optimized: - Write manual alt text for key images — product photos, infographics, hero images, and any visual that communicates important information should have hand-written descriptions - Keep alt text concise — aim for under 125 characters; describe what the image shows without unnecessary filler - Don't stuff keywords — alt text should describe what the image actually shows, not be a place to cram in SEO keywords - Use descriptive filenames — before uploading, rename files from IMG_001.jpg to something meaningful like red-hiking-boots-side-view.jpg - Enable Image SEO as a fallback — even if you write manual alt text for most images, the module catches any you might miss Warning Auto-generated alt text from filenames is a fallback, not a replacement for proper image descriptions. For accessibility compliance (WCAG), manually describe important visual content. #### Ready to optimize your site? Install Prime SEO in under 2 minutes. Free forever. Install Free Plugin --- ## Migration Guide URL: https://prime-seo-plugin.com/docs/migration/ > Import SEO data from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, or SEOPress to Prime SEO. One-click migration preserves all your titles, descriptions, and settings. ### Migration Guide Import your SEO data from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, or SEOPress with one click. #### Overview Switching to Prime SEO from another SEO plugin? The built-in Migration Tool imports your existing SEO data so you don't lose any optimization work. All titles, meta descriptions, focus keywords, and other SEO data are preserved. Navigate to Prime SEO → Migration (visible only when SEO data from another plugin is detected). #### Supported Plugins Plugin | Detected By | Supported Versions Yoast SEO | _yoast_wpseo_ meta keys | All versions Rank Math | rank_math_ meta keys | All versions All in One SEO | _aioseo_ meta keys | All versions SEOPress | _seopress_ meta keys | All versions Prime SEO automatically detects if you have SEO data from any of these plugins in your database, even if the plugin is no longer installed. #### What Gets Imported Data | Description SEO Title | Custom page/post titles Meta Description | Custom meta descriptions Focus Keyword | Primary keyword for each post Canonical URL | Custom canonical URLs Noindex | Pages marked as noindex Nofollow | Pages marked as nofollow Open Graph | OG title, description, image Twitter Card | Twitter-specific meta data Note Migration imports post/page-level SEO data. Plugin-wide settings (like sitemap configuration or redirect rules) need to be reconfigured manually in Prime SEO. #### How to Migrate Install and activate Prime SEO Keep your old SEO plugin active or deactivated — either works. Prime SEO can detect data regardless of the source plugin's status. Navigate to Prime SEO → Migration This page appears automatically when SEO data from a supported plugin is detected in your database. Select the source plugin Choose the plugin you want to import data from. If multiple plugins are detected, you can select any one of them. Click "Start Migration" The migration process begins immediately. A progress bar shows the current status as data is imported. Wait for the process to complete The duration depends on how many posts and pages you have. Most sites complete in under a minute. Review the results summary After completion, you'll see a summary showing how many items were imported, skipped, or had issues. Warning Always create a database backup before migrating. While the migration tool is safe and doesn't delete source data, a backup is always good practice. #### After Migration After migration is complete, follow these steps to ensure everything transferred correctly: - Verify key pages — check a few important pages to confirm titles and descriptions were imported correctly - Check noindex settings — ensure pages that were marked as noindex retained that setting - Deactivate your old SEO plugin — if not already done, deactivate it to avoid duplicate meta tags on your pages - Review Prime SEO settings — go to Prime SEO → Settings to configure module-level features like sitemaps, schema, and redirects Tip Prime SEO will detect if another SEO plugin is active and show a conflict notice. It's safe to run both temporarily during migration, but deactivate the old plugin afterward. #### Troubleshooting ##### Migration option not visible The Migration page only appears when Prime SEO detects SEO data from a supported plugin in your database. If you don't see it, the old plugin's data may have been cleaned up or removed during uninstallation. ##### Some data missing after migration Check that the source plugin used standard meta keys. Some premium addons or custom configurations store data in non-standard formats that may not be recognized by the migration tool. In these cases, you can manually set the SEO data using the Prime SEO metabox on each post or page. ##### Duplicate meta tags This happens when both SEO plugins are active simultaneously. Each plugin outputs its own set of meta tags, resulting in duplicates. The solution is simple: deactivate the old SEO plugin after migration is complete. #### Ready to optimize your site?

Review the generated fields All tabs (SEO and Social) are populated automatically. Check the Google Preview to see how it looks. Edit and save Adjust any field manually if needed, then save or update the post. Tip The AI analyzes your post's actual content, so write your content first, then generate the SEO metadata. #### API Key Setup The AI Generator requires an OpenAI API key to function. Follow these steps to set it up: Open the Settings page Go to Prime SEO → Settings → API Key section. Enter your OpenAI API key Paste your API key from platform.openai.com. Save Changes Click Save.

There are no additional fees from Prime SEO for API usage. Security Your API key is stored securely in your WordPress database and is never shared with third parties. #### How It Works The AI Generator follows a streamlined process to produce high-quality SEO metadata: Content extraction Extracts your post content, title, and any existing metadata from the editor. Structured prompt Sends a carefully designed prompt to OpenAI's API with your content and optimization rules. AI generation OpenAI returns optimized metadata respecting character limits for each platform. Field population All 7 fields in the metabox are populated automatically across all tabs. The prompt is designed to create SEO-optimized content that: - Uses power words and emotional triggers to boost click-through rates - Respects character limits for each platform (Google, Facebook, Twitter/X) - Maintains your content's key message and intent - Includes relevant keywords naturally without stuffing #### Tips for Best Results - Write content first — the AI needs your actual content to generate relevant metadata - Set a focus keyword — if you enter a focus keyword before generating, the AI will incorporate it into all fields - Review and adjust tone — AI output is a strong starting point, but you may want to match your brand voice - Include product details — for product pages, make sure key features and benefits are in the content - Aim for 200+ words — the AI works best with content of at least 200 words, giving it enough context to generate accurate metadata Important AI-generated metadata is a starting point. Always review and adjust for accuracy, especially for sensitive topics, legal content, or brand-specific messaging. #### Ready to optimize your site? Install Prime SEO in under 2 minutes.

Batch processing with progress tracking and undo support. ### Bulk AI Generation PRO Generate SEO titles and meta descriptions for hundreds of posts at once. Batch processing with progress tracking. This is a PRO feature. Requires Prime SEO PRO ($59/year). Learn more → #### Overview The Bulk AI Generator lets you generate SEO metadata for many posts at once, rather than editing each one individually. Instead of opening every post, crafting a title, and writing a meta description by hand, the Bulk Generator uses AI to do it all in a single batch operation. This is perfect for large sites with hundreds or thousands of posts that need SEO titles and meta descriptions. Whether you're launching a new site, migrating from a plugin that didn't have AI capabilities, or simply catching up on SEO optimization, the Bulk Generator saves hours of manual work. #### Accessing Bulk Generator Navigate to Prime SEO → AI Bulk Generator in your WordPress admin panel. The page displays a statistics dashboard for each post type, showing you at a glance: - Total posts — how many posts exist for each post type - With SEO Title — posts that already have a custom SEO title - With Meta Description — posts that already have a meta description - Missing Both — posts that have neither title nor description This overview helps you understand the scope of work before starting any generation. #### Selecting Posts You can select which posts to process in several ways: - By post type — process all posts, pages, or any registered custom post type (products, portfolios, etc.) - Filter by status — narrow down to only posts missing titles, missing descriptions, or missing both - Individual selection — pick specific posts from the list using checkboxes Tip The stats dashboard shows you exactly how many posts need optimization, so you know the scope before starting. Use the "Missing Both" filter to prioritize posts with no SEO metadata at all. #### Running Bulk Generation Once you've selected your posts, running the generation is straightforward: Select your post type and filter Choose the post type from the dropdown and apply any filters to narrow down the list. Review the list of posts Check the posts that will be processed. You can deselect any posts you want to skip. Click "Generate All" Start the batch process. The generator processes posts one at a time to ensure quality and avoid API rate limits. Monitor progress Watch the real-time progress bar and log as each post is processed. Each post gets an AI-generated SEO Title and Meta Description based on its content. The AI analyzes the post title, body content, and existing metadata to craft optimized, unique descriptions. #### Progress & Results During generation, you see a detailed progress interface: - Progress bar — visual indicator with percentage complete - Current post — the name of the post being processed right now - Success/error status — green checkmark for success, red indicator for errors - Real-time log — scrollable list of all completed items with their generated titles and descriptions The process is safe to stop at any time — simply click the Stop button. All posts that were already processed keep their generated metadata. You can resume later by filtering for posts that still need optimization. Note If a post fails (due to API timeout or content issues), it will be marked with an error and skipped. The generator continues with the next post automatically. You can retry failed posts later. #### Undo Feature Made a mistake or unhappy with the AI-generated content? Every bulk generation can be undone: - Click the Undo button next to any processed post in the results log - The original title and description are instantly restored - Works even after navigating away and coming back to the page The Bulk Generator saves the original metadata before overwriting anything, so you can always revert individual posts to their previous state. Tip The Bulk Generator saves the original metadata before overwriting, so you can always go back. Consider running a small batch of 5–10 posts first to verify the AI output quality before processing your entire site. #### Cost Estimation Each post uses approximately one OpenAI API call. The table below provides estimated costs based on GPT-4o-mini pricing: Posts | Estimated Cost | Time 10 posts | ~$0.03 | ~30 seconds 100 posts | ~$0.30 | ~5 minutes 500 posts | ~$1.50 | ~25 minutes 1,000 posts | ~$3.00 | ~50 minutes Important Costs depend on your OpenAI API pricing tier and post content length. These are estimates based on GPT-4o-mini rates. Longer posts with more content will use slightly more tokens per request.
