AIVZ for WordPress.
Native AEO execution inside the editor. The most mature adapter on the platform. Compatible with Yoast, RankMath, and All in One SEO — this is a companion plugin, not a replacement. Install in 5 minutes; first AEO score in 60 seconds after.
You don't switch SEO plugins to add AEO.
The WordPress audience already runs an SEO plugin. Yoast, RankMath, All in One SEO — these tools have decade-plus track records, mature feature sets, and significant practitioner inertia. Asking WordPress site owners to switch SEO plugins to add AEO would be hostile to existing operations and unnecessary.
AIVZ doesn't compete with your SEO plugin. AIVZ runs alongside it — handling the AEO half of the work that your SEO plugin doesn't touch, while preserving compatibility with the SEO operations you've already built.
AIVZ writes; SEO plugin reads
When AIVZ generates a meta description optimized for AI citation, it writes to the meta-description field your SEO plugin already manages. AIVZ's optimization is invisible to the SEO plugin's UI but applied to the page output.
AIVZ adds schema; SEO plugin's schema stays
When AIVZ adds JSON-LD schema markup (FAQPage, Speakable, Article variants), it doesn't conflict with your SEO plugin's existing schema output. AIVZ's schema appends to the page rather than overwriting; both coexist.
AIVZ scans; SEO plugin doesn't see the scan
The 93-factor scan, the AI Visibility Score, and per-platform readiness scoring run independently. AIVZ's analysis surface and the SEO plugin's analysis surface coexist in the editor without interfering with each other.
Most agencies and in-house teams running both AEO and SEO operations install AIVZ alongside their existing SEO plugin and use both in parallel. The dual-check workflow is genuinely effective because the two plugins optimize for genuinely different outcomes — running both in parallel covers more surface than either alone.
WordPress is AIVZ's most complete adapter.
The Live status on /platforms means the WordPress adapter supports the full canonical execution scope — every native fix capability AIVZ runs ships through the WordPress plugin. Eleven distinct capabilities surface in the editor and the dashboard.
Schema markup execution
Automatically applied for the seven primary schema types (Organization, Article, FAQPage, Speakable, Person, HowTo, Product) with field-level validation against the schema.org spec. Coexists with SEO-plugin schema.
Meta description optimization
Per-page meta descriptions generated from structured content analysis; one-click apply to the Yoast / RankMath / AIOSEO meta-description field.
FAQ block generation
Extracts question-answer pairs from existing content; reformats into AI-citation-optimized FAQ blocks; renders with FAQPage schema markup. Available as a Gutenberg block, shortcode, or template embed.
Summary block insertion
Front-loaded direct-answer summary blocks for L3 (Extractability) optimization. Configurable position (top of post / after H1 / custom) per content type.
llms.txt manifest generation
Site-level llms.txt manifest auto-generated from the content inventory. Updates on a schedule; can be triggered manually.
robots.txt management
Verifies AI bot access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther) and surfaces unintended blocking from CDN/WAF defaults, hosting providers, or security plugins.
Sitemap optimization
XML sitemap inclusion of structured-data-rich pages; identification and optional removal of low-AEO-value URLs from sitemap surfacing.
Structured data validation
Runtime validation of all on-page schema; flagging of malformed JSON-LD, missing required fields, or schema-version compatibility issues.
AEO score widgets
Embeddable score badges for sidebars, footers, About pages. Useful for sites surfacing their AI Visibility Score as a credibility signal.
Per-page recommendations panel
Embedded in the WordPress editor (Gutenberg + Classic Editor). Surfaces recommendations and direct-execute buttons in the same UI where authors edit content.
Content rewrites for L3 factors
Delegated to the user's configured LLM via MCP. Output validated against the AEO factor that triggered the work; surfaced for editor approval before publish. (Pro tier and above.)
Seven schema types. Field-level validated. Coexists with what's already there.
Schema markup is the single highest-leverage AEO factor on most WordPress sites — and the area where AIVZ's WordPress adapter goes deepest. Seven primary schema types with full field-level validation, coexistent with any schema your SEO plugin already generates.
