What it checks
- Whether you already serve an llms.txt — and what the emerging spec expects it to contain
- Your site’s real structure — nav, sections, primary pages — discovered and used as the file’s skeleton
- A spec-linted llms.txt — H1 title, blockquote summary, sectioned link lists — validated in code
- An 8–12 question AEO FAQ block written from your site’s actual content, schema-ready
What it won’t do
- The generated file passes a deterministic format linter before it renders — spec-correct or it doesn’t ship.
- Built from your real pages and nav — never a template with your name find-replaced in.
- Honest about the trend: llms.txt is an emerging convention, not a ranking guarantee. It makes your site legible to AI crawlers; nobody can promise citations.
- No login, no card. The file’s header and first section are free; the complete file + FAQ unlock with a work email.
Before you run it
-
What is llms.txt and do I need one?
It’s the emerging convention for telling AI crawlers what your site is and where the substantive content lives — robots.txt’s younger sibling, written for answer engines. Cost to ship: one static file at your root. That trade is worth it.
-
Where do I put the file?
Host it at yourdomain.com/llms.txt — the report ships the exact install note. Static hosting, no build change, done in minutes.
-
Will AI engines actually read it?
Adoption is growing and the cost is near zero — that asymmetry is the case. We say it straight: this makes you legible and eligible, it does not make you cited. Content quality still does the heavy lifting.
-
What’s in the FAQ block?
8–12 buyer questions answered from your site’s real content, formatted so they can ride your pages as visible copy or structured data. Two are free as a sample; the full block unlocks with a work email.
