Troubleshooting & FAQ

AIO Radar is an AI Optimization platform that helps your WordPress site get discovered and recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. It generates LLMs.txt files, creates AI-optimized summaries, and tracks your visibility in AI responses.

Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine crawlers and rankings. AIO Radar optimizes for large language models (LLMs) that power AI assistants. While there's overlap, AI systems process and understand content differently, requiring specialized optimization.

AIO Radar optimizes for:

- ChatGPT (OpenAI)

- Claude (Anthropic)

- Perplexity

- Google AI (Gemini, AI Overviews)

- Microsoft Copilot

- And other LLM-powered assistants

No. AIO Radar is designed for non-technical users. The WordPress plugin handles everything automatically. Advanced users can use WP-CLI commands and hooks for customization.

- WordPress 6.0 or higher

- PHP 8.0 or higher

- HTTPS enabled (SSL certificate)

- AIO Radar account

The plugin is free to install. Using it needs an AIO Radar plan: Starter, Basic or Pro, billed monthly or yearly. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial, which needs a card. See pricing for what each plan includes.

Yes. Each site needs its own API key. Starter and Basic include 1 site and Pro includes 3; more by arrangement on Pro.

llms.txt is a standardized file at your site's root (yoursite.com/llms.txt) that helps AI assistants understand your website. It's like robots.txt for AI - a dedicated file explaining what your site offers.

Visit https://yoursite.com/llms.txt in your browser. You should see the generated content. If you get a 404 error, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save to flush rewrite rules.

Regenerate when:

- You add significant new content

- You update product/service offerings

- You change pricing or business information

- Monthly as a general practice

Yes. Major AI systems check for llms.txt files, similar to how they use robots.txt. Some access it during training, others during real-time web retrieval. The file provides context that improves how AI represents your site.

By default: published pages and posts. You can configure which post types to include and exclude specific categories or individual pages in settings.

Yes, a copy of your content is stored in AIO Radar's database to generate summaries and LLMs.txt. Your content is never shared with third parties. See our privacy policy for details.

Three ways:

1. By category - Exclude entire categories in settings

2. By meta - Add hide_from_ai post meta

3. By filter - Use the aio_scan_exclude_post filter

Check:

1. Is the content published (not draft)?

2. Is the post type included in settings?

3. Is auto-sync enabled?

4. Try running a manual scan: AIO Radar → Dashboard → Scan Site

Visibility tests query actual AI systems, so results reflect real AI behavior. However, AI responses can vary between queries, so track trends over time rather than individual results.

Common reasons:

- Content not indexed yet (can take weeks)

- Content not distinctive enough

- Competitors have stronger presence

- Query too generic

Improve by: generating LLMs.txt, optimizing content, building authority through external mentions.

Factors include:

- LLMs.txt presence and quality

- Content clarity and structure

- External mentions and citations

- Business authority and reputation

- Schema markup

- Recent content updates
