How to make WordPress AI-ready

WordPress is server-rendered (good for AI). Here's how to get it found, read and cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude & Gemini — then verify with a free scan.

The universal checklist

Let AI crawlers in (robots.txt: allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended)
Make sure content is in the HTML, not JavaScript-only
Add Schema.org JSON-LD structured data
Publish an llms.txt and an XML sitemap
Set title, meta description, canonical and Open Graph tags

On WordPress specifically

Manage robots.txt and schema via Yoast or Rank Math; both can emit JSON-LD.
Upload /llms.txt to the web root or use a small plugin/snippet.
Ensure your theme outputs a real <h1>, canonical and OG tags (most do).
