llms.txt generator
Write a tidy llms.txt file for your site without hand editing markdown. Add your business name, a one line summary and the pages you want an AI assistant to find first, then copy the file or download it and drop it at the root of your domain.
Your details
This becomes the H1 at the top of the file.
Goes in as a blockquote under the heading. Say what you do and where.
Optional. Blank lines start a new paragraph.

llms.txt
0 linksWhat llms.txt is
It is a plain markdown file you put on your own site that describes what the site is and lists the pages worth reading. The idea came out of a simple problem: an AI assistant answering a question about your business has to work out which of your hundreds of URLs matter, from HTML that is mostly navigation, cookie banners and footer links. An llms.txt file gives it a short, clean index instead of making it guess.
The format is deliberately boring. One H1 with your name, an optional blockquote summary, any free text you want after that, then H2 headings each holding a markdown list of links in the shape - [Title](URL): note. That is the whole convention, and because it is markdown you can read it yourself.
Where the file goes
The root of your domain, so example.com/llms.txt. Not in a subfolder, not inside your theme. On WordPress, upload it to the web root over FTP or your host's file manager. If your host rewrites unknown paths, add a rule so /llms.txt is served as a file and not swallowed by WordPress. Check it loads in a browser as plain text before you tell anyone about it.
Some sites also publish a longer companion file, such as llms-full.txt holding the full text of their documentation. For a normal business site, one short llms.txt is enough.
What to put in it
A small business site and a documentation site want different things. If you run a trade or service business, list the pages that answer buying questions: your main services, your pricing or quote page, the areas you cover, contact details and anything that proves you are real, like case studies or accreditations. Keep the notes short and factual. Write the areas you cover out properly rather than hiding them behind a dropdown.
A docs site should lead with the pages people land on most: getting started, the API reference, authentication, changelog, migration guides. Group them under H2 headings that match how your docs are organised, and skip the marketing pages.
Either way, keep it short. Thirty good links beat three hundred thin ones, and a file you can maintain by hand is a file that stays accurate.
An honest note on whether it helps
No search engine or AI company has confirmed llms.txt as a ranking factor, and none has published anything saying their crawlers read it. Treat it as voluntary and unproven. What you can say for certain is that writing one costs you half an hour, puts no load on your site, breaks nothing if it is ignored, and forces you to describe your own business in one line and pick your twenty most useful pages. That last part is worth doing whether or not a machine ever reads the file.
So publish it if you like, keep it current, and do not move anything else on your to do list to make room for it.
