## Description

Citeroom is a dedicated answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation(
GEO) tool built only for news publishers. It is not a general SEO plugin and it 
does not try to replace Rank Math or Yoast. It does one job: it helps a newsroom’s
journalism get cited by AI search and AI answers.

Good journalism already opens with the answer, in the first two sentences. That 
is exactly the shape AI engines want to quote. Citeroom surfaces and structures 
what good reporters already do, and adds the machine readable signals that AI crawlers
look for.

Citeroom is built on honesty. It never fakes freshness, never guarantees a citation,
and discloses any AI assistance.

**What Citeroom does**

 * **News schema engine.** Outputs valid NewsArticle structured data with publisher,
   author, featured image, section, language, and an optional dateline. It detects
   Rank Math, Yoast, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework so it never
   produces duplicate schema. Choose to defer to them, or let Citeroom take over
   and remove their article schema cleanly.
 * **Freshness manager.** Generates a Google News sitemap of your most recent posts
   and announces it in robots.txt. Shows an honest « Updated on » date that only
   appears when a story was genuinely changed a meaningful time after publishing,
   so minor edits never show a false update.
 * **Answer readiness check.** A score in the editor for how easily an AI can pull
   a direct answer from each story, with plain guidance on the lede, subheadings,
   paragraph length, lists, summary, and headline.
 * **llms.txt and AI crawler allowlist.** Generates llms.txt and llms-full.txt, 
   a clean guide that points AI assistants at your recent reporting and key pages.
   Welcomes the major AI crawlers by default, with one click to block any of them.

Everything in the free version runs on your own site. It makes no external API calls
and sends your data nowhere.

## FAQ

### Does Citeroom work alongside Rank Math, Yoast, or other SEO plugins?

Yes. Citeroom detects them and, in the default Auto mode, defers to them for article
schema so there is never duplicate markup. If you prefer Citeroom to own the news
schema, switch the schema ownership setting to Citeroom and it will remove the article
schema from Rank Math and Yoast for you.

### Will it slow down my site?

No. The heavy work runs in the background or only on the relevant pages. The sitemap
and llms.txt are generated on request, and schema is added cleanly to news posts.

### Does llms.txt guarantee that AI engines will cite me?

No, and Citeroom will never claim that. No major AI provider has confirmed they 
use llms.txt as a ranking signal. Citeroom generates it because it is a low cost,
common way to present your content clearly. The strongest levers are good structure
and genuine freshness, which Citeroom also helps with.

### Does Citeroom send my content or data to any external service?

No. The free version runs entirely on your WordPress site and makes no outside calls.

### Which post types does it support?

Posts by default. You can choose any public post type in the settings, and that 
choice applies across the schema, sitemap, updated dates, and llms.txt.

### My news sitemap or llms.txt shows a 404. What do I do?

Go to Settings, then Permalinks, and click Save Changes once. That refreshes WordPress
rewrite rules so the new addresses work.

Can’t believe it works with other SEO. I was using other free SEO but they didn’t
provide « news sitemap » and llms txt together in free version and needed them badly
and this citeroom just solved my all problem. Hope everything will work in a long
run.

## Journal des modifications

#### 1.2.1

   shown only after two weeks of use, with Leave a review, Maybe later, and Don’t

#### 1.1.0

   work even when rewrite rules were never refreshed on a site.

   a news sitemap and stands aside by default, with a new ownership setting if you
   want Citeroom to serve it instead.
 * The Status box warns when a real llms.txt or news-sitemap.xml file on the server
   is overriding Citeroom’s generated ones, which hosting tools sometimes create.
 * New Custom llms.txt content box, so you can add your own lines near the top of
   llms.txt.
 * Rewrite rules refresh automatically after every update.

#### 1.0.3
