Getting Started — Advanced (BYOK)

Install the plugin, paste the license key and configure your own AI API keys. For the Advanced tier.

You're looking at the Advanced (BYOK) flow. If you have a Premium plan instead, use the Premium guide (managed AI, zero provider configuration).

1. Install the plugin

Download the GEO Cite 22 plugin from the WordPress marketplace (or upload the ZIP). Activate it from Plugins > Installed. The GEO Cite 22 menu entry appears.

2. Paste the license key

Go to GEO Cite 22 > License and paste the key received by email (format GC22-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX). The plugin validates it by calling POST /api/v1/license/validate and receives the advanced tier.

3. Configure the AI provider API keys

Nel pannello plugin vai su Settings > AI Providers. Per ogni provider che vuoi usare incolla la tua API key. Le key sono salvate cifrate in database WordPress (sodium secretbox con AUTH_KEY) e mai loggate.

Provider	Where to get the key	Tested models
Anthropic	console.anthropic.com	claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-opus-4-7
OpenAI	platform.openai.com/api-keys	gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini
Google Gemini	aistudio.google.com/app/apikey	gemini-2.5-flash, gemini-2.5-pro
Mistral	console.mistral.ai/api-keys	mistral-large-latest
Kimi	platform.moonshot.cn/console/api-keys	moonshot-v1-32k

Provider-side budget

Calls are billed directly by the providers. Set a budget alert in their dashboard to avoid surprises. GEO Cite 22 has no visibility on your spend (that’s the advantage of BYOK).

4. Generate the GEO fields

In every post/page you'll find the GEO Cite 22 metabox. Click Generate with AI and choose the provider for this generation. The plugin calls the provider with its tool-use schema and fills in: Quick Answer, FAQ, ItemList, How-to.

No call goes through geocite22.com: provider → plugin directly.
