Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about citelayer®

No. Install the plugin, activate it, and it works immediately. Bot tracking starts automatically in the background. There are optional settings if you want to fine-tune, but the defaults work great for most sites.
Yes! The Schema.org markup improves how search engines understand your content. Plus, as Google integrates more AI into search results (AI Overviews), having AI-readable content helps you appear in those new formats. citelayer® detects Yoast SEO and Rank Math to avoid duplicate Schema.
llms.txt is a new standard (similar to robots.txt) that helps AI systems understand your site. It tells AI crawlers what your site is about, what content you have, and what services you offer. More AI tools are starting to look for this file.
citelayer® checks every incoming request against 62 known AI/LLM bot User-Agent strings. When a match is found, the visit is logged to a custom database table with timestamp, bot name, category, and URL path. This runs silently in the background — no configuration needed.
AI Blind Spots shows you pages on your site that have NOT been visited by any AI bot within a selected time period (7/30/90/365 days). Each page gets an AI Discovery Score (0-100) based on content length, title quality, excerpt, featured image, and age. Low scores indicate pages that need optimization.
citelayer® tracks 62 AI/LLM bots from major providers: OpenAI: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot Anthropic: ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, Claude-SearchBot Google: Google-Extended, Gemini-Deep-Research, GoogleAgent-Mariner Perplexity: PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User Meta: Meta-ExternalAgent, Meta-ExternalFetcher, FacebookBot xAI / DeepSeek / Mistral / Amazon / Cohere / HuggingFace and many more
Not at all. Bot detection adds less than 0.01 seconds per request. Dashboard stats are cached (5-minute transients). Everything else is aggressively cached — llms.txt refreshes every 24 hours, Schema every 7 days. AI-specific features only activate when an AI agent visits, not for regular users.
No. citelayer® exclusively tracks identified AI/LLM bots. It does not track, store, or process any human visitor data — making it 100% GDPR compliant.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) are the next evolution of SEO. Instead of optimizing for Google's blue links, you optimize for AI-generated answers. citelayer® handles the technical foundation so your content can appear in AI responses.
Yes. citelayer® supports Content-Signal headers (contentsignals.org) that let you set rules: * Allow or deny AI training on your content * Allow or deny search indexing * Allow or deny use in AI responses (RAG) Default: Training denied, search and AI responses allowed.
