llms.txt Explained: The File That Tells AI Who You Are

llms.txt is a simple plain-text file you place at the root of your website. It tells AI models who you are, what you do, and how to describe your business accurately. llms.txt is one component of a broader AI visibility strategy — a structured approach to making your business findable and citable by AI.

Why It Matters

When AI models crawl your site, they process hundreds of pages and try to summarize your business. Without an llms.txt file, they guess. With one, you tell them exactly what to say.

What to Include

A good llms.txt file includes your business name, type, location, core services, key differentiators, and a structured description that AI can extract directly.
