What is llms.txt?

A plain text file at the root of a website that gives AI assistants a short, curated map of the site and what each page is for.

Just as robots.txt tells crawlers where they may go, llms.txt is a proposed convention that tells AI models what a site is about and which pages matter most. It sits at yoursite.com/llms.txt and is written in simple markdown: a summary of the business, then sections of links with one line descriptions.

Why bother

AI assistants have limited room to read a site. A clear index helps them find your services, prices and answers quickly and describe you accurately, instead of guessing from a menu or a page full of scripts.

Does it guarantee anything

No. It is a helpful signal, not a ranking switch. It works best alongside clean pages, schema markup and consistent facts across the web. This site publishes one, with a full text version for assistants that want everything.
