Free llms.txt Generator
We crawl your site, pick your most important pages, read the title and description of each, and build a clean llms.txt file grouped into sections. Edit it in the browser, then download and publish.
Why publish an llms.txt?
A curated content map
A plain markdown file that tells language models which of your pages matter and why — instead of leaving them to infer it from your navigation.
Built from your live site
We crawl your sitemap, read the real title and description of each page, and group everything into sensible sections automatically.
Editable before you publish
Reorder sections, rewrite descriptions, drop pages you would rather not surface. It is a curated file, not a sitemap dump.
Honest about what it does
It is a proposed convention, not a ratified standard. Cheap to publish, zero risk, and not a substitute for crawler access or schema. We say so.
How it works
Enter your website
Or paste a sitemap URL, or your own hand-picked list of pages.
We read your pages
We select your most important URLs, fetch each one, and pull the title and description.
Edit and download
Review the generated file in the browser, adjust anything, then download llms.txt and upload it to your web root.
Why this matters
llms.txt is a proposed convention: a plain markdown file at the root of your domain that gives language models a curated map of your most important content, with a short description of each page. Think of it as an editorial summary of your site rather than the exhaustive machine index a sitemap provides.
We will be straight with you about its status, because a lot of the marketing around it is not. It is not a ratified standard, and no major AI vendor has publicly confirmed they consume it. Anyone telling you it is essential for AI visibility is overselling.
What it is: an afternoon of work, zero risk, and a genuinely useful exercise. The act of deciding which forty pages actually matter and writing one clear sentence about each tends to expose things about your site architecture that nothing else does.
What the file contains
The format is deliberately simple markdown. An H1 with your site name, a blockquote summarizing what you do, then H2 sections grouping your pages, each entry a markdown link followed by a one-line description.
We group automatically — Core Pages, Services, Industries Served, Blog and Resources, Contact, and an Optional section for legal and utility pages — based on your URL structure and page content. You can reorder or rewrite any of it before you publish.
How it differs from a sitemap
An XML sitemap is exhaustive and machine-formatted: every URL, with metadata, for crawlers. llms.txt is curated and human-readable: your best pages, with context, for language models.
The difference is editorial. A sitemap says “here is everything”. llms.txt says “here is what matters and here is why”. That distinction is the whole point, and it is why a shorter file is usually better than a longer one. Forty well-chosen pages with sharp descriptions beat four hundred with generated ones.
Where it fits in an AEO strategy
Near the bottom, honestly. The things that actually determine whether an AI engine cites you are: whether its crawler can reach your pages, whether your structured data identifies you clearly, whether your content is shaped into extractable passages, and whether there is enough trust evidence to quote you.
llms.txt costs an afternoon and cannot hurt you, so publish it. Then spend the rest of the quarter on the four things above. Our GEO audit scores all of them.
Best practices
- Keep it curated. Forty strong pages beat four hundred weak ones.
- Write real descriptions rather than shipping whatever the meta tag says.
- Order sections by what a prospective customer needs first.
- Serve it at the domain root as plain text: yoursite.com/llms.txt.
- Regenerate it whenever you add significant new pages.
- Treat it as cheap insurance, not as your AI visibility strategy.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Dumping your entire sitemap into it.
- Publishing once and never updating it, so it slowly describes a site that no longer exists.
- Putting it in a subfolder where nothing will look for it.
- Believing it substitutes for crawler access, schema and content depth.
- Serving it as HTML instead of plain text.
Frequently asked questions
Is llms.txt an official standard?
No. It is a proposed convention with growing adoption but no formal ratification, and no major AI vendor has publicly confirmed they read it. We think it is worth publishing because the cost is an afternoon and the downside is zero — but treat claims that it is essential with scepticism.
Do ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity actually read it?
None of them have confirmed it publicly. Adoption among publishers is growing, which is the usual way conventions become standards, but anyone stating definitively that it works is guessing.
Does it replace robots.txt or my sitemap?
No. robots.txt controls crawler access, the sitemap lists every URL for discovery, and llms.txt offers a curated summary. They do different jobs and you should have all three.
Where does the file go?
The root of your domain, served as plain text: https://yoursite.com/llms.txt. On WordPress that means uploading it via SFTP or your host’s file manager. On Netlify, Vercel or any static host, drop it in your public folder.
How many pages should it include?
Twenty to sixty for most sites. It is meant to be curated. A file listing every page is just a worse sitemap.
What is llms-full.txt?
A longer companion file with fuller descriptions of each page. Optional, and mainly worth it if your content is genuinely reference material that benefits from more context. We generate both so you can decide.
Should my llms.txt say where my business is based?
Yes — it is one of the highest-value lines in the file. An llms.txt summary is read by a machine trying to work out what your site is and who it serves, and “a plumbing company serving Sarasota, Bradenton and Venice, Florida” resolves that question in one sentence. Vague positioning is the thing that gets a site passed over when an answer engine is choosing which local source to cite.
