GEOmatic AI — Stable Configuration (Quick Setup + AI Experience) #

Goal #

A “no-surprises” configuration that works out of the box with major SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, and safest settings for AIOSEO). GEOmatic handles content AI only; your SEO plugin controls head tags and sitemaps.

Quick Setup (recommended) #

• SEO compatibility: Respect the SEO plugin (Recommended)
  (Disables GEOmatic titles, meta/robots/canonical, OG/Twitter, JSON-LD, and sitemaps.)
• AI sitemaps: Off
• IndexNow / Ping: Off (enable later if needed)
• Performance / telemetry: Off
• Automatic tasks / Cron: Twice daily (or Daily), not Hourly
• Debug mode: Off
• Admin-lock / MU-plugin: Off

AI Experience #

• AI Summary:On
  • Position: Bottom of the article
  • Targets: Posts & Pages only (exclude archives/category/search)
  • Injection: Main query only
• Summary cache: On (regenerate when content updates)
• HTML attribute enrichment & AI html Signal OFF: Off (enable per site only if builders behave)
• Published content only: On
• Processing limit: On (≈ 5,000–8,000 chars)
• LLM timeout: 15–20s

Plugin-specific notes #

• Yoast / Rank Math / SEOPress: Keep all GEOmatic SEO/head/sitemap features Off. Let the SEO plugin output titles, meta, OG/Twitter, schema, and sitemaps.
• AIOSEO (most sensitive): Same as above plus keep HTML attribute enrichment Off to avoid builder/layout quirks. Check page source to confirm no GEOmatic <script type="application/ld+json"> when AIOSEO is active.

Safe rollout order #

1. In Quick Setup, apply the Stable profile above.
2. In AI Experience, enable AI Summary (bottom) + cache On; leave HTML attributes Off.
3. Save, clear caches/CDN, then open one public page:
   • With your SEO plugin active → you should not see GEOmatic head tags.
   • With SEO disabled → GEOmatic head output returns (single, deduped block).
