How to Create an llms.txt File for Your Website
llms.txt tells AI engines what your site is about — like robots.txt, but for ChatGPT and Perplexity. Step-by-step guide with a free generator.
llms.txt is a proposed standard (llmstxt.org) that helps large language models understand your website's purpose, key pages, and brand — so they're more likely to mention you in answers.
What goes in an llms.txt file?
A markdown file at yoursite.com/llms.txt with: your brand name, one-line description, links to important pages, and contact info. Think of it as a README for AI crawlers.
Example llms.txt
# YourBrand > Free billing software for Indian startups. ## Key Pages - [Homepage](https://yoursite.com): Product overview - [Pricing](https://yoursite.com/pricing): Plans from ₹0 - [FAQ](https://yoursite.com/faq): Common questions
How to create and deploy llms.txt
- Run a Growlit scan — we auto-generate llms.txt from your page content.
- Download the file from your scan results.
- Upload to your site root (same place as robots.txt).
- Verify at yoursite.com/llms.txt
- Allow AI crawlers in robots.txt (GPTBot, PerplexityBot).
llms.txt alone won't get you AI mentions — but combined with FAQ schema and authoritative content, it improves how AI engines understand your brand.
