Built for AEO and GEO — clear, visible questions and answers with valid FAQPage schema, for search engines and AI assistants alike. This is an AI FAQ generator and FAQ schema plugin made for the new way people search: answer engines, not just blue links.

🪄 Fix with AI: score your FAQ quality, then fix it in one click. Run the analyzer, click one button, and every answer is rewritten as a short 40-80 word answer capsule — direct Yes/No openers, hard data points, self-contained sentences that can be quoted on their own. Your SEO and GEO scores update in real time. 🌍 19-language Auto Generate. ✅ Tested with WordPress 7.1.

No API key required. FAQ parsing, manual input, SEO/GEO quality scoring, FAQPage schema, 7 display styles, llms.txt, and AI crawler control all work out of the box. The AI features (Auto Generate, Fix with AI) are optional – bring your own OpenAI key only if you want them.

📘 Guides and documentation: answerschema.com — plain-English guides on FAQ schema, llms.txt and AI crawler control for WordPress, plus our own test results.

AI Search Visibility – no API key needed:

llms.txt – serves an auto-generated llms.txt at your site root (llmstxt.org convention): a machine-readable index of your pages and latest posts, following the proposed llms.txt convention. AI companies have not confirmed that their crawlers use it, so treat it as a low-cost extra. Rebuilt automatically when content changes. You choose which post types go in, exclude single items, and add your own links; noindex and password-protected content is always left out. On multilingual sites (Polylang or WPML) each language gets its own file, such as /de/llms.txt, linked from the main one.
AI Crawler Control – a one-screen table of 14 AI crawlers (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider and more) with per-bot allow/block via your robots.txt. Everything is allowed by default – being read by AI is the point of AEO – and blocking any bot is one checkbox. Need more? Add your own robots.txt lines in the same screen.
AI Crawler Visits – see which AI crawlers actually read your site: visits per bot over the last 30 days, how often each one fetched robots.txt and llms.txt, the last page it read, and the pages AI crawlers read most. Stored only in your own database, no external calls.

What is AEO / GEO, and why does it matter?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) are about getting your content quoted by AI — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude now answer questions directly and cite their sources. No one outside the AI companies knows exactly how they choose what to quote, and no plugin can guarantee a citation. What you can control is clarity: questions people actually ask, a direct answer in the first sentence, and answers that make sense on their own.

This plugin generates FAQs in that format, then scores each one with a GEO analyzer (answer-first, self-contained, specific, no filler) before you publish. Visible Q&A for AI engines to quote, plus valid FAQPage JSON-LD schema that Bing and the AI assistants built on its index still consume.

How to add FAQ schema in WordPress

Install and activate the plugin, then open any post or page in the block editor.
Search for “FAQ Schema” in the block inserter and add the block.
Use Auto Generate (AI reads your post), paste existing FAQs in any format, or type them manually.
Publish. Valid FAQPage JSON-LD schema is injected automatically — no shortcodes, no code.

Optimizing for AI Overviews and AI search

Google says there are no special requirements or optimizations needed to appear in AI Overviews, so there is no secret formula to chase. What helps readers and AI assistants alike is a clear answer to a real question. The built-in GEO analyzer checks your FAQs for that — answer-first sentences, 40-80 word length, self-contained answers, specific data points, no filler — and Fix with AI rewrites your answers to meet those checks in one click. It’s answer engine optimization (AEO) built into your editor.

Key Features

3 Ways to Add FAQs

Auto Generate (AI) — One click. The plugin reads your post content directly from the editor and generates relevant FAQs — no copying, no pasting. Powered by OpenAI.
Paste Existing FAQs — Already have FAQs? Paste them in almost any format (Q:/A:, Question:/Answer:, numbered lists, plain text, HTML, or markdown) and the smart parser auto-detects and structures them instantly.
Manual Input — Prefer full control? Type your questions and answers directly in the block editor.

Fix with AI

Run the quality analyzer, then click Fix with AI. Every answer is rewritten as a short “answer capsule”:

Direct answer in the first sentence — Yes/No questions open with “Yes,” or “No,” plus a restated claim
40-80 words total, every sentence under 20 words
At least one concrete data point per answer (numbers, dates, timeframes)
Fully self-contained — extractable by AI engines without any page context
Keeps your questions and your language untouched (works in all 19 supported languages)

Your SEO and GEO scores re-calculate instantly, so you see exactly what the fix accomplished.

FAQ Quality Analyzer (100-Point Score)

Before you publish, run the built-in analyzer. It checks 12 SEO criteria across 3 categories:

Basic checks — FAQ count, duplicate detection, question format
Direct answer quality — first-sentence scoring, search intent alignment
Keyword SEO — keyword presence in questions and answers, sentence length, uniqueness

You get a score out of 100 with specific recommendations. No guessing what to fix.

GEO Quality Analyzer (AI Citation Score)

Check how clear and self-contained your answers are before AI assistants such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude read them. The GEO analyzer checks 8 criteria across 4 categories:

Answer-First structure — no filler phrases, a direct first sentence of 8-60 words
Self-Contained — no relative references, no vague endings, each FAQ stands alone
Specificity and E-E-A-T — concrete data points, no promotional superlatives
Clarity — no ambiguous pronouns, structured multi-sentence answers

SEO and GEO scores display side by side. Click each to see the detailed breakdown.

Valid FAQPage JSON-LD Schema

The plugin automatically injects valid schema.org FAQPage structured data into your page’s <head> — the standard format read by Bing and the AI assistants built on its index, and understood by every search and answer engine. You don’t touch any code.

Multiple OpenAI Models

Choose the model that fits your needs and budget:

gpt-5.6-luna — Fastest, lowest cost. Great for most blogs.
gpt-5.6-terra — Balanced quality and cost.
gpt-5.6-sol — Flagship model. Best quality for competitive niches.

7 Display Styles

Minimal — Clean text list with Q prefix
Card — Elevated cards with hover effects
Accordion — Click to expand, great for long answers
Boxed — Colored header with distinct sections
Timeline — Vertical timeline with numbered dots
Chat Bubble — Messenger-style question/answer bubbles
Numbered — Large index numbers for tutorial-style posts

Colors That Match Your Site

FAQ colors come from the display style and your block settings, never from the visitor’s device theme, so the block looks the same for every reader. On a dark site, set the text and background colors in the block’s Customize Style panel (or with Custom CSS).

Custom AI Prompt

Not happy with the default output? Edit the prompt. Use {count} as a placeholder for the number of FAQs. The plugin always enforces JSON formatting automatically.

Target Keyword Optimization

Set a target keyword per block (or let AI detect it from your content). The quality analyzer then checks whether your FAQs are properly optimized around that keyword.

Who Is This For?

Bloggers who want valid FAQ schema without touching code
SEO professionals who need to scale FAQ structured data across many posts
Content marketers building topical authority in competitive niches
Agencies managing client sites and needing a reliable FAQ solution
Small business sites that want clear, visible answers to the questions their visitors ask

Security

Your OpenAI API key is stored encrypted at rest and never exposed to the browser. All AI calls happen through a protected REST endpoint with nonce verification. Rate limiting (10 requests/minute/user) prevents abuse.

External Services

This plugin connects to the OpenAI API (api.openai.com) to generate FAQ content, rewrite answers (Fix with AI), and extract target keywords.

When you click “Generate FAQ,” “Fix with AI,” or “AI Detect,” your post content, your FAQ text, and the prompt are sent to OpenAI’s servers for processing. This only happens on demand — never automatically in the background.
