Primary Source¶
Type: PRO | Version: 2.3.16 | WP: WordPress 5.8+ | PHP: PHP 7.4+
Slug: primary-source
The ultimate ecosystem to position your site as the primary source of truth for Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI agents. It turns unstructured content into machine-readable signals: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity don't just index you — they cite you.
The 4 pillars¶
- AI Discovery & Interoperability: standardized discovery files (
llms.txt,ai.txt,ai-plugin.json, OpenAPI 3.1.0,ai-sitemap.xml) - Semantic Authority: entity ontology (8 CPTs) and deep Schema.org metadata injection
- RAG Performance: semantic chunking (~1000 characters) with contextual metadata for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
- Bot Trust: reverse DNS verification of AI bots, spoofing protection and geolocation
Features¶
- Discovery Score and Readiness Heatmap in the dashboard
- 8 AI content types: Professional Profile, Services, Products & Offers, FAQ & Clarifications, Real Cases, Authority Content, Glossary Terms, Targets & ICP
- AI editorial assistant (Gemini/OpenAI): semantic summaries, citations and speakable selector
- Native multilingual: WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress with localized llms.txt
- Bulk tools: massive chunk regeneration with cron queue
- Optimized REST API with pre-computed RAG chunks

FAQ¶
Does this plugin slow down the site?¶
No: heavy operations (chunk generation, AI calls) are asynchronous or handled via WordPress transient cache.
Does it replace Yoast or RankMath?¶
No, it enhances them: Primary Source handles the "AI-Agent" layer, leaving the "Human-Search" layer to them.
Do I have to pay for APIs?¶
The plugin requires a Gemini API key (often free up to certain limits) or OpenAI. The cost depends on the volume of content you optimize.
How do I make content "Primary Source"?¶
Mark only original, verified content as Primary Source: quality beats quantity, and AIs cite authoritative sources.
