The free llms.txt generator
An llms.txt is a plain-text brief of your business at your domain root. Fill in five fields below, copy the file, drop it at yoursite.com/llms.txt. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is stored or sent anywhere. Straight answer before you start: Google has confirmed its search systems ignore this file, and at ~300,000 domains there's no measurable link between having one and being cited by AI. It's worth thirty minutes, not a budget line — here's the full evidence and what does work.

This is the part that actually moves citations: rank for the question, answer it on the page, and write copy that survives being quoted. AEO vs GEO vs LLMO, explained →

Questions I get.
llms.txt is a plain-text file you place at the root of your domain (yoursite.com/llms.txt) holding a clean, machine-readable summary of your business: what you do, your key pages, and how to contact you. It was proposed as a way to hand a language model a curated brief instead of making it infer one from your HTML. It's a community convention rather than a standard any major search engine has adopted — see the next answer for what the evidence says about it.
Yes — completely free, no sign-up, nothing stored. Everything runs in your browser; your inputs never leave your device. Fill the fields, copy or download the file, and upload it to your site's root.
Upload it to the root of your domain so it's reachable at https://yoursite.com/llms.txt. On most hosts that means dropping it in your public / static folder. Optionally link to it from your robots.txt as a comment, and allow AI crawlers there too.
On the evidence so far, no — not on its own. Google confirmed in 2026 that its search systems, generative features included, ignore llms.txt, and independent analysis across roughly 300,000 domains found no statistically significant relationship between having the file and being cited by AI. Server logs show AI crawlers requesting it in around a tenth of a percent of their hits. It's still worth the half hour: it helps in the narrow case where an agent or a person points a model straight at your domain, and writing it forces you to state plainly what your business does. What actually earns citations is being indexed and ranking, answering the question directly on the page, structured data that says who wrote it, and copy that survives being quoted. That fuller implementation is what I do as a service — this file is the free, easy part.
llms.txt is the concise index — summary, services, key pages, contact. llms-full.txt is an optional expanded corpus with your full positioning, FAQs and detail, for models that want more context. This generator produces the concise llms.txt; the deep version is part of a full GEO implementation.
