Frequently Asked Questions

Will publishing llms.txt get me cited by ChatGPT?

Probably not on its own, and we're not going to tell you otherwise. If an AI crawler is blocked at your CDN, or your content only renders in JavaScript, llms.txt changes nothing at all — the crawler still can't read the pages it points at. Fix those first. Then publish this, because it costs nothing.

Is llms.txt an official standard?

No. It's a proposal that has picked up real but partial adoption. Anthropic and Perplexity appear to use it, Google doesn't, OpenAI hasn't said. Treat it as a low-cost bet, not a requirement.

What's the difference between llms.txt and llms-full.txt?

`llms.txt` is an index — links with one-line descriptions. `llms-full.txt` is the actual content of those pages concatenated into one file. Only the first is described in the proposal; the second is a convention people have converged on.

Where do I put the file?

At your root: yourdomain.com/llms.txt, served as text/plain. On WordPress this usually needs a rewrite rule or a genuinely static file — most page builders can't create root-level files for you.
