Make Your Sites AI-Ready with llms.txt
An
llms.txt file is like a robots.txt file for AI. It gives AI assistants and large language models a short, clean summary of your site and a list of the pages that matter most. You can create one for each domain connected to your funnels and websites.Why add one
- AI audits: Google PageSpeed Insights includes an agentic browsing audit that looks for an
llms.txtfile at the root of your domain. - Less work for AI crawlers: AI tools can read a short markdown file instead of digging through heavy pages.
- Better AI search visibility: it points tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini straight to your most accurate pages.
