Why this matters
llms.txt is a plain-text file — like robots.txt, but for AI — that points crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot to the pages that actually matter on your site. It's not required and it's not a ranking signal, but it's a low-cost way to guide how AI engines understand your site's structure. Read the full guide →
Frequently asked
What is llms.txt?
An emerging, plain-text convention (like robots.txt, but for AI) that points crawlers to your most important pages in a structured way. It lives at yoursite.com/llms.txt. Full explanation: our llms.txt guide.
Is this file required?
No — it's optional. Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity all work fine without it. It's a low-effort signal of what matters most on your site, not a ranking requirement.
Is the generated file finished, or a starting point?
A starting point. We read your homepage's title, description, and nav/header links to draft a reasonable first version — but you know your site's actual most-important pages better than a crawler does. Review and edit the page list before deploying it.
Where do I put the file?
Upload it to your site root as /llms.txt (same level as robots.txt) — e.g. https://yoursite.com/llms.txt.
Does Peak Visibility generate this automatically in a full scan?
Not yet as a standalone output file, but every full scan already checks for llms.txt and flags whether AI crawlers can reach your site. This tool covers the gap in the meantime.
