FAQ
What is AI SEO and why do I need it?
AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google SGE are changing how people find information. Instead of showing links, they provide direct answers and cite sources. Prime SEO helps your content become one of those cited sources through LLMs.txt, AI Bots Manager, and structured content optimization.
Do I need SEO knowledge to use this plugin?
No! Prime SEO is designed for beginners. The Setup Wizard configures everything, and the metabox provides clear guidance with real-time feedback.
What is “Generate All with AI”?
Generate All with AI is a Pro feature that fills ALL your SEO fields with one click:
- SEO Title (Google)
- Meta Description (Google)
- Facebook Title & Description (Open Graph)
- Twitter Title & Description
- Focus Keywords (auto-extracted)
That’s 6 fields plus keywords in one click — no other SEO plugin does this. It uses your OpenAI API key (BYOK model), so there are no usage limits or hidden costs.
What’s the difference between Free and Pro?
The free version includes everything you need for professional SEO: metabox, sitemaps, schema markup, redirects, 404 monitor, AI bots manager, and LLMs.txt.
Pro adds AI-powered automation:
- Generate All with AI — One click generates SEO title, meta description, Facebook meta, Twitter meta, and focus keywords (6 fields + keywords!)
- AI Bulk Generator — Generate SEO for hundreds of posts at once
- AI Content Score — Detailed analysis for AI search optimization
- Video Sitemap — Auto-detect videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, Bunny Stream
- Priority Support — Direct email support
Will this slow down my website?
No. Prime SEO is optimized for performance. Assets load only where needed, and the code follows WordPress best practices.
Can I import from Yoast or Rank Math?
Yes! Prime SEO includes a migration tool. Go to Prime SEO Migration and select the plugin you want to import from. We support:
- Yoast SEO (Free & Pro)
- Rank Math (including redirects)
- All in One SEO Pack
- SEOPress
All your titles, descriptions, focus keywords, canonical URLs, and robot settings will be transferred automatically.
Where is my sitemap?
Your sitemap is automatically available at:
yoursite.com/sitemap.xmlUse the shortcode
[prime_seo_breadcrumbs]in any post/page, or add<?php prime_seo_breadcrumbs(); ?>to your theme template.Can I use this with other SEO plugins?
We don’t recommend it. Running multiple SEO plugins can cause conflicts and duplicate meta tags. Prime SEO includes everything you need.
How do redirects work?
Go to Prime SEO Redirects, enter the old URL and new URL, select redirect type (301/302/307/410/451), and save. The redirect is instant.
What’s the difference between redirect types?
- 301 — Permanent redirect (passes SEO value)
- 302 — Temporary redirect (for temporary moves)
- 307 — Temporary redirect (preserves request method)
- 410 — Gone (page permanently deleted)
- 451 — Unavailable for legal reasons
How do I fix 404 errors?
Go to Prime SEO Redirects 404 Log tab. You’ll see all 404 errors with options to create redirects or delete entries.
Is the robots.txt virtual or physical?
Virtual. Prime SEO doesn’t create a physical file, so there are no conflicts with existing files.
What is LLMs.txt and why do I need it?
LLMs.txt is a standard (like robots.txt) that helps AI search engines understand your site. It provides a structured overview of your content that AI crawlers like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can use to better index and reference your site in AI-powered search results.
How do I control which AI bots can access my site?
Go to Prime SEO AI Settings. You’ll find the AI Bots Manager where you can allow or block specific AI crawlers. Use Quick Presets for common configurations, or customize access for each bot individually.
Where are llms.txt and llms-full.txt?
They’re automatically available at:
yoursite.com/llms.txt— Basic site overviewyoursite.com/llms-full.txt— Extended version with full content (when enabled)
