GEO Autopilot and WordPress

What it does

• Send to WordPress (all paid plans): any finished GEO article goes to your WordPress site as a draft or a published post, with its title, headings, FAQ, summary and web address.
• GEO Autopilot (Growth plan and above): on the days and time you choose, Luciqo writes the next article from your topic queue, adds a photo-realistic featured image and sends it to WordPress.

No WordPress plugin is needed. Luciqo uses WordPress's own REST API, which every WordPress site has had since 2020.

Step 1: create an application password in WordPress

1. Log in to WordPress with a user who has the Administrator, Editor or Author role.
2. Go to Users → Profile and scroll down to Application passwords.
3. Type Luciqo as the name and click Add new application password.
4. Copy the password WordPress shows. It's only shown once.

An application password only works for apps like Luciqo, not for logging in, and you can revoke it on the same page at any time.

Step 2: connect WordPress in Luciqo

1. Open your brand, click GEO Autopilot in the menu (or Autopilot and WordPress on the GEO Writer page).
2. In the WordPress card, enter your website address, WordPress username and the application password, then click Connect WordPress.
3. Choose whether new posts go in as drafts (recommended to start) or published straight away, and pick a category if you like. Click Save.

Send an article by hand

Open any finished GEO article. In the WordPress card on the right, choose Draft or Published post and click Send to WordPress. You can add an AI illustration as the featured image.

Sending again updates the same WordPress post instead of creating a new one. When a post is live, Luciqo records it as published, so its effect shows on the Progress page. If you publish a draft yourself in WordPress, Luciqo notices the next time you open the article.

Set up GEO Autopilot (Growth and above)

1. On the GEO Autopilot page, tick Autopilot on.
2. Choose up to 5 days a week and a time (UK time).
3. Pick the article type, length and call to action, and whether articles go to WordPress or stay in Luciqo.
4. Add any direction for every article, for example "Write for homeowners in Leeds".
5. Click Save settings.

Each article uses 1 GEO article credit, the same as writing one by hand. If a run fails, the credit is returned.

The topic queue

Autopilot writes the topic at the top of the queue. Add your own topics, move one to the top, or click Add questions I'm losing to queue the tracked questions AI doesn't recommend you for yet. When the queue is empty, Autopilot does this for you.

Use Write now on any topic to write it straight away, or Write the next article now to start the next one.

If something goes wrong

• "WordPress didn't accept the username or application password": check you used the username (not the email) and the application password (not your login password). Some hosts remove the sign-in details; ask them to allow the Authorization header.
• "WordPress blocked the request": a security plugin such as Wordfence may block the REST API. Allow it for logged-in users.
• "The WordPress REST API isn't available": check the address, and that no plugin switches the REST API off.
• WordPress.com sites need the Business plan or above. Self-hosted WordPress always works.

The schema markup isn't sent, because WordPress removes it from post content for most users. Copy it from the article page into your SEO plugin if you use one.
