How to create llms.txt for your website: complete guide

What is llms.txt?

Just as robots.txt tells search engine crawlers what to index, llms.txt tells AI language models what your website offers and how to use it. It's a plain text file at your site root (yoursite.com/llms.txt) that provides a structured overview of your brand, products, and key pages. While not yet a formal standard, major AI labs are starting to recognize and use these files. Creating one takes 5 minutes with our free llms.txt Generator at chatcite.com/tools/llms-txt-generator.

What to include in your llms.txt

Your llms.txt should include: a one-line description of your company, your core products or services with links, your most important pages (pricing, features, docs), your blog or resource center, and your social media profiles. Write it in Markdown format with clear headings. Be concise but comprehensive — AI models read the entire file, so every word matters.

How to implement it

Step 1: Go to chatcite.com/tools/llms-txt-generator and fill in your details. Step 2: Download or copy the generated file. Step 3: Upload it to your website root directory (same level as robots.txt). Step 4: Verify it's accessible by visiting yoursite.com/llms.txt in a browser. That's it — AI engines will find it automatically when they crawl your site.
