llms.txt, explained: the file that decides if AI can read you

A practical spec walkthrough, plus the exact file we ship for enterprise clients.

llms.txt is the fastest machine-access win in GEO, and most enterprise sites still do not have one.

Think of it as robots.txt and a sitemap for AI crawlers: a plain text map that tells engines who you are, what you do, and where your best, most citable content lives. It removes the guesswork that keeps you out of answers.

We ship a version with a short brand summary, a Core pages list, and a Key facts block engines can lift verbatim. It takes an afternoon to write and starts influencing mention rate within weeks.

KEY TAKEAWAYPublish llms.txt, keep it current, and confirm your robots.txt is not blocking GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot. That is the price of entry.
