llms.txt is an emerging convention (at /llms.txt) that gives AI assistants a clean, structured summary of what your site is and what's on it — as more traffic and citations come from AI answer engines rather than traditional search, this is becoming the equivalent of what robots.txt/sitemap.xml are for traditional crawlers.

llms.txt is the emerging standard for telling AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) what your site contains. Early adopters have a real advantage as AI search overtakes traditional search.

How to fix it

  1. 1
    Create the file at /llms.txt
    A simple Markdown file describing your site, its purpose, and linking to your most important pages.
  2. 2
    Structure it clearly
    Start with an H1 site name and one-line description, then organized sections linking to key pages with brief descriptions of each.
  3. 3
    Keep it current
    As your most important pages change, update this file — it should reflect your actual current priority content, not a snapshot from when you first created it.

Common mistakes

How you'll know it's done
