If you're just starting

Pick one silo, fix its schema and internal linking first, and measure before touching anything else. A tight win on one silo beats a scattered pass across the whole site.

Best practices worth stealing

  • Ship the fix as a diff, not a screenshot — reviewers can approve in seconds.
  • Log every applied change with user, timestamp and before/after payload.
  • Cap batch sizes at 250 URLs so rollback stays surgical.
  • Re-crawl within 24h of any apply so attribution stays clean.

Paired module: GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation

Optimisation for how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews retrieve and cite your content — llms.txt, extractability, factual density and citation-worthy formatting. AI answer engines route intent before the SERP does; being invisible to them is being invisible to the top of the funnel.

  • Enable GEO mode in SEO Features
  • Publish llms.txt with cited pages and license terms
  • Audit posts for extractability (short facts, clear headings, TL;DR)
  • Track citations in the AI Rank Tracker weekly
Do I need a plugin to handle Wordpress XML Sitemaps vs WBP Omni SEO Pro Sitemaps?

Not strictly, but auditing and rollback are what make the difference at scale. That's what WBP Omni SEO Pro handles.

Will this hurt existing rankings?

Not if the change is small and reversible. Every step above ships behind an Approve gate.

Do the auto-generated share images count as duplicate media?

Each image is generated per post with a unique title, author and hero — they share a template, not the file, and are cached at the edge.

Is GEO just SEO with new labels?

It shares the discovery layer, but the ranking function is different — LLMs weight extractability, factual density and entity clarity far more than backlinks.
