CONCILIUM IA Rank GEO

CONCILIUM IA Rank GEO is a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) plugin for WordPress. GEO is the discipline that optimizes your content to be understood and cited by modern AI answer engines, on top of classic Google SEO. Where Yoast and RankMath optimize for traditional search, this plugin adds the machine-readable signals modern AI engines look for. The plugin is fully free and self-contained · it does not require an account to function. What is GEO? GEO · Generative Engine Optimization is the discipline that makes content understandable, citable, and preferable by Large Language Models (LLMs). It relies on three pillars:

• Understandable: composite @graph schema, llms.txt, structured FAQ
• Citable: short machine-readable summaries, Speakable, explicit AI bot directives
• Preferable: factuality, authority, freshness, clean hierarchical structure

When a user asks a question to a modern AI answer engine, the engine cites sources. If your site is not structured to be understood by these engines, it is rarely cited. GEO is the layer that fixes this. Features (free forever, no account required) GEO layer (Generative Engine Optimization):

• /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt automatic (llmstxt.org standard · the AI equivalent of robots.txt)
• Explicit directives for known AI crawler user agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, MistralAI-User, anthropic-ai)
• Machine-readable schema.org structure (Organization + WebPage)
• Content preparation for AI citation (canonical, hreflang, locale)

Classic SEO layer:

• Meta title and meta description (real-time counters)
• Open Graph and Twitter Cards
• XML sitemap with image sitemap
• Performance hints (preconnect, hero image preload)
• Compatible with Yoast / RankMath (coexistence)
• Compatible with WPML / Polylang

100% free, forever. Every feature in this plugin is fully functional with no account, no license key, no trial, no usage limit and no external service. Optional separate product A separate, paid plugin (not hosted on WordPress.org, distributed from the author's own website) adds automatic AI generation of summaries, FAQs and key facts. It is a completely separate codebase and is not required — this plugin is fully functional on its own. More info: https://www.iarankgeo.fr (operated by CONCILIUM DIGITAL · no affiliation with WordPress.org). Privacy CONCILIUM IA Rank GEO is published from Paris, France by CONCILIUM DIGITAL. The plugin makes no external network requests of any kind. It does not phone home, does not transmit your content, site URL, email or any metadata anywhere. Everything runs 100% locally on your own server.

1.4.1

• Internationalization: all source strings are now in English, with a complete French (fr_FR) translation shipped. This makes the plugin properly translatable on translate.wordpress.org for every locale, while French users still get a fully French interface.
• Public /llms.txt section labels ("Main pages", "Recent posts") are now translatable too.
• Refreshed the .pot template and removed the obsolete en_US catalog.

1.4.0

• Removed the entire license system. Following wp.org Guidelines 5 & 6 review feedback: the plugin no longer has any license key, activation, trial, quota, "free license" creation, heartbeat verification or detach flow. Every feature is unconditionally free and fully functional.
• /llms.txt customization now applies unconditionally — it was previously gated behind an active license (this was the trialware issue). The custom content saved in Settings is always served, with no restriction.
• The plugin now makes zero external network requests. All calls to www.iarankgeo.fr/api/v1/license/* removed. No data leaves your server.
• readme: removed all external-service / license / data-transmission documentation and the API endpoint URLs (they are no longer used).
• Frontend JSON-LD: wp_json_encode() now escapes slashes (dropped JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES) so a </script> sequence inside any value cannot break out of the script context.
• Removed the activation welcome redirect and the dismissible license nag.

1.3.1

• wp.org review compliance: plugin renamed to "CONCILIUM IA Rank GEO" (clear authorship by CONCILIUM DIGITAL, contributor identifier at the start of the slug)

1.3.0

• New: granular AI bot strategy (citation_only / allow_all / block_all / custom). Distinguishes citation bots (ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-Web, MistralAI-User · live, citing sources) from training bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Meta-ExternalAgent, Bytespider, CCBot, anthropic-ai, Applebot-Extended · scraping for model training). Default is "citation_only" · maximizes AI visibility without feeding training corpora.
• New: per-bot custom toggle for advanced users
