Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hack The SEO – AI Bot Tracker, GEO Score, JSON-LD Schema & Cannibalization

That depends on what you need, and anyone giving you a single answer is selling something. Yoast SEO and Rank Math are the two largest and have the biggest ecosystems. All in One SEO is the oldest. SEOPress is the leanest of the big four. Slim SEO is the right answer if you want zero configuration. Hack The SEO is built for a specific case: you want the whole technical layer (schema, sitemap, redirects, canonical, robots, breadcrumbs) plus keyword cannibalization detection and real AI-crawler measurement, computed locally, with no account and nothing sent to a third party. If cannibalization or GEO measurement is what you are missing, this is the free plugin that has it. If you mostly want AI-generated content, it is not.
Install Hack The SEO and it generates JSON-LD automatically from what is already on each page: Article, BreadcrumbList, Organization, Person, Product, FAQPage, HowTo, QAPage, VideoObject and 60+ types in total. Types that cannot be detected reliably, such as LocalBusiness opening hours, are yours to enable per page in the Schema settings, so nothing is invented. Confirm the result in Google's Rich Results Test or the Schema Markup Validator.
Open the Redirects screen, enter the old URL and the destination, and choose 301 (permanent). You can also use 302, 307 and 410, add regex rules for bulk migrations, and import or export everything as CSV. When you rename a post, a 301 from the old slug is created for you. Incoming 404s are logged, and any 404 can be turned into a redirect in one click. Redirects are served in PHP, so your .htaccess is never touched and it works identically on Apache, Nginx and LiteSpeed.
It is served automatically at /sitemap.xml: a sitemap index plus one sitemap per content type, with image, video and news extensions and an XSL stylesheet so it is readable by a human. It respects noindex and is cached on disk so it does not rebuild in PHP on every request. Submit /sitemap.xml to Google Search Console. The "First steps" checklist reminds you to.
llms.txt is a plain-text file listing your key content for AI crawlers, in the same spirit as robots.txt for search crawlers. Hack The SEO serves it virtually at /llms.txt, generated from your real content, with no file written to disk. It also serves a Markdown version of every page at /your-page.md, which is the format LLMs parse most reliably and most cheaply. Both are on your own server, both are free, and neither requires an account.
GEO, sometimes called AEO (answer engine optimization), means making your content easy for generative engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) to read, understand and cite. Classic SEO optimises for a ranked list of links; GEO optimises for being the source quoted inside an answer. In practice it comes down to: answer the question explicitly and early, keep facts stable and attributable, structure the page so a machine can parse it, expose clean formats (schema, Markdown, llms.txt), and then measure whether the AI crawlers actually come. Hack The SEO does all five, locally, in the free version.
The AI visibility screen records visits from GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Applebot, CCBot, Bytespider and others, read directly from the server request, with no JavaScript and no external service. This is not a detail: AI crawlers do not run JavaScript, so ordinary analytics tools cannot see them at all. Test it in one line: curl -A GPTBot https://your-site.tld/your-article/ That request will appear in your dashboard.
Keyword cannibalization is when two or more of your own pages target the same query, so search engines have to pick between them and both underperform. It is one of the most common causes of a site that has plenty of content and no rankings. Hack The SEO detects it for free: it compares focus keywords and title similarity to find competing pairs, measures how much their content actually diverges, and recommends what to do with each pair: merge them, differentiate them, redirect one into the other, or leave them alone because they genuinely serve different intents. All computed in PHP on your server, with no embeddings and no external API.
Nobody controls that, and any tool claiming otherwise is guessing. What you can control is whether your content is citable, and whether the engines are even reading it. Being citable means: answering the question explicitly and early on the page rather than after four paragraphs of preamble; stating facts that can be quoted and attributed; keeping a clean, parseable structure; and exposing formats a model reads cheaply: valid JSON-LD schema, a Markdown version of the page, an llms.txt index. Hack The SEO's GEO score checks the first three and generates the last two. Then you measure. The AI visibility screen tells you whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and the rest actually came, on which URLs, and how often. Very few free plugins give you that, and without it you have no way of knowing whether any of the rest is working.
Every 404 hit on your site is logged automatically, with the requested URL, the referrer and a hit count, so you can tell a real broken link from a bot probing for /wp-admin/setup.php. Sort by hits, and the URLs actually costing you traffic come straight to the top. Each row has a one-click "redirect this" action that turns the 404 into a 301 to wherever you choose. The log is capped and self-cleaning, so it cannot grow until it hurts your database.
