Last updated Feb 3, 2025

Installation

  1. Purchase CitedPro from srworks.co
  2. Download the plugin ZIP file from your purchase confirmation email
  3. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  4. Choose the ZIP file and click Install Now
  5. Activate the plugin
  6. Go to CitedPro → License and enter your license key

The Setup Wizard

After activation, you'll be redirected to the Setup tab. This wizard helps you provide the information AI search engines need to understand and recommend your business.

Business Information

Enter your core business details:

  • Business Name: Your official business name
  • Description: A clear description of what you do (2-3 sentences)
  • Entity Type: Organization or Person
  • Logo: Upload or select your logo image
  • Contact Info: Phone, email, and address
  • Service Areas: Geographic regions you serve

Services & Products

Add your offerings so AI can recommend you for relevant queries:

  • Services: Name, description, and pricing for each service
  • Products: Name, description, price, and availability

FAQs

Add frequently asked questions. These help AI assistants answer queries about your business accurately.

Tip

Focus on questions customers actually ask. "What are your hours?" and "Do you offer refunds?" are more useful than marketing speak.

Social Links

Connect your social profiles (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube). These help verify your identity and provide additional context.

Import from SEO Plugins

If you already use Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, or SEOPress, CitedPro can import your existing business data:

  1. Look for the "Import from SEO Plugin" banner at the top of Setup
  2. Click Preview Import to see what will be imported
  3. Review the data and click Import

This saves time if you've already configured another SEO plugin with your business information.

Generate Your Files

Once your business info is complete, generate the files AI crawlers need:

  1. Go to CitedPro → Files
  2. Click Generate Files
  3. The plugin creates:
    • llms.txt — Markdown file for AI crawlers
    • site-data.json — Structured data endpoint
  4. Your robots.txt is also updated with AI bot directives

Enable Bot Tracking

To see which AI bots are visiting your site:

  1. Go to CitedPro → Settings
  2. Enable Bot Tracking
  3. View your analytics in CitedPro → Analytics

Tip

Tracking is opt-in and all data is stored locally on your server. No data is sent to external services.

Verify Your Setup

Check that everything is working:

  1. Files Tab: Verify your files are generated and show green status
  2. Test URLs: Visit yoursite.com/llms.txt and yoursite.com/site-data.json
  3. Robots.txt: Check yoursite.com/robots.txt for AI bot directives
  4. Schema: Use Google's Rich Results Test to verify JSON-LD is injected
