A glossary for search and local marketing

llms.txt

llms.txt is a proposed text file that gives AI tools a short guide to your website and links to useful pages. It helps describe the site, but does not control access or guarantee mentions.

In plain terms

It can serve as an editorial map for someone or something trying to understand a site. It is not the same as robots.txt and does not grant access, block training or guarantee inclusion in an answer. robots.txt gives crawling instructions, while llms.txt offers a reading guide. Neither file is a password or a promise that an assistant will use your pages.

How to check it

Start with the public pages you would send to a person asking what the business does. Give each a short useful description and check every URL. Keep the file in step with your released site rather than leaving a stale description after a service changes or a page is removed.
