Agentic Optimization – SEO for AI Agents

Search metadata and AI discovery, in one lightweight WordPress plugin.

Give each public post or page a clear search title, useful description, canonical URL and indexing preference. The optional local SEO editor includes a search-result preview, works with the normal WordPress publishing workflow, and requires no external service, account or API key.

Alongside search SEO, publish llms.txt, clean Markdown, discovery files and structured public content for AI/SI assistants. Your public agent endpoints remain read-only. Draft, private and password-protected content stays excluded.

One SEO output owner. Standalone rendering is off until you enable it. When a supported SEO plugin is active, Agentic Optimization automatically yields instead of adding competing tags. It reads reviewed provider settings for discovery and leaves their metadata untouched. Native WordPress title, canonical and robots output is reused; the plugin adds one description when it owns output.

Features in the free plugin:

• Optional local search-title, description, canonical and noindex editing on posts, pages and public custom content types
• Local search-result preview with no external generation or tracking request
• Normal WordPress edit/publish permissions and object-specific save protection
• Core sitemap exclusions for noindex, protected content and custom canonical destinations when standalone mode is active
• Automatic output ownership detection for Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework and Site Manager standalone SEO; developer hooks for other renderers
• Effective noindex settings from WordPress and reviewed Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO and SEOPress readers

• Fresh eligibility checks before reusing discovery caches, including metadata-only updates

• Root-level llms.txt

• Optional root-level llms-full.txt
• Optional /.well-known/ai.txt and /ai.txt guidance for AI-agent discovery
• Root-level agent-sitemap.xml
• Optional WordPress robots.txt enhancement with discovery hints
• Optional AI-agent user-agent routing from public content pages to the markdown view

• Public REST search, content, markdown, comments, categories, tags, and site info endpoints
• Read-only MCP endpoint with search, content, comments, taxonomy, and site info tools
• Optional WordPress 6.9+ Abilities for public search, markdown, site info, public taxonomy/comments, and discovery endpoint reads
• Optional exposure of those abilities through the official WordPress MCP Adapter when installed separately
• Hard request caps and transient-based rate limiting
• Privacy-friendly analytics with aggregate counts and hashed IP logs only
• Admin-managed site description and site details for llms.txt context
• SEO-aware content exclusion hooks for common noindex patterns

The plugin is intentionally conservative:

• Public agent APIs remain read-only; local SEO editing stays in the authorized WordPress editor
• Public content only in agent endpoints
• No drafts, private content, or pending comments
• Comments exposure disabled by default
• Standalone SEO rendering and MCP disabled by default
• WordPress Abilities registration and MCP Adapter exposure disabled by default
• Analytics disabled by default

External Services

This plugin generates agent-optimized discovery files and sitemaps using standard XML formats.

Sitemaps.org XML Schema

The agent-sitemap.xml output uses the standard sitemap XML namespace (http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9) and a custom extension URN namespace (urn:videowhisper:agentic:1.0). These are identifier strings embedded in locally generated XML documents only. No data is transmitted to external services when the sitemap file is generated or served.
