Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai”, “seo” and “yoast” for “perplexity”, “experiments” and “ai readiness”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “perplexity” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “experiments” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “yoast” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “ai readiness” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →7.1%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 708K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,010 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 23 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

The tracking shows no ai visits. I’ve tested another plugin (seoengine) and that one is tracking hundreds of ai visits. This plugin reports nothing at all.

Una herramienta que parece cumplir cmuy bien su cometido. Fácil de usar y con opciones muy intuitivas para personalizar el llms.txt

I understand the llms.txt protocol has not been adopted by major LLMs yet, but it seems prudent to engage with what is likely to be adopted. Practically, it’s an easy setup – no issues on 10 sites I’ve added it to. Very impressed by the speed of bug fixes and improvements by the team behind the plugin.

I tried the simple solution of enabling LLMs.txt in YOAST since that’s my SEO plugin of choice (and has been for 10+ years). Their LLMs.txt was extremely simplified and lacked depth, listing only ~5 posts and ~5 pages. This app did a much more thorough job and was super easy to configure. Highly recommended.
