Yoast tells you you’re invisible to Google. Cirv Sight tells you you’re invisible to ChatGPT — and lets you charge AI bots to crawl you. Cirv Sight ships an llms.txt for your WordPress site, then watches what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews actually do with it. Four numbers per page: citations, AI-bot crawls, share of voice, and a Cloudflare 402 pay-per-crawl estimate. If you already use Cirv Box for Google rich results, Cirv Sight is the same idea pointed at AI search. Free on WordPress.org when it ships, Pro for publishers and agencies.

Schema.org markup (also called structured data) is code that helps search engines understand your content better. It uses JSON-LD format to provide context about your pages, products, FAQs, and more. ### Will this improve my Google rankings? While schema markup isn’t a direct ranking factor, it helps Google understand your content better, which can lead to: * Higher click-through rates (more traffic) * Rich snippets in search results * Better visibility * More qualified traffic Many users see 2-4x higher CTR after adding schema markup! ### Do I need coding knowledge? No! Cirv Box works automatically. Just enable the schema types you want, and the plugin handles everything else. ### How do I verify the schema is working? 1. Visit any page on your site (blog post, product, FAQ page) 2. Right-click “View Page Source” 3. Search for `application/ld+json` 4. You should see JSON schema markup 5. Or test at: https://validator.schema.org ### Does this work with WooCommerce? Yes! If you have WooCommerce installed, enable Product Schema and all your products will automatically get structured data markup. ### How does FAQ Schema work? Cirv Box intelligently detects FAQ content by: * Looking for “FAQ” in page titles* Finding headings that look like questions (What, How, Why, etc.) * Parsing the content to extract Q&A pairs * Automatically generating FAQPage schema Just create a page with “FAQ” in the title and use H2/H3 headings for questions! ### Will this slow down my site? No! The plugin is optimized for performance: * Lightweight code (no bloat) * Caching system for schema generation * Only runs when needed * Minimal database queries ### Can I use this with other SEO plugins? Yes! Cirv Box works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, and other plugins. It focuses specifically on schema markup. ### Is there a Pro version? Pro features are coming soon!
