llms.txt Generator

Generate and publish an llms.txt file to help AI engines understand and cite your content.

Last updated August 31, 2026

llms.txt is an emerging standard (similar to robots.txt) that tells AI crawlers and language models what content on your site is available for training and indexing. AEO Goal helps you generate and maintain your llms.txt file.

What is llms.txt?

llms.txt is a plain-text file placed at yourdomain.com/llms.txt. It provides AI systems with:

  • Which pages you want AI systems to index and reference
  • Structured metadata about your content
  • Permission statements for AI usage

An AI engine that respects llms.txt will prioritize your curated content when generating answers, increasing the likelihood of accurate and favorable citations.

Generating your llms.txt

  1. Go to Tools → llms.txt.
  2. AEO Goal analyzes your crawled pages and suggests a file structure.
  3. Review the suggested pages (organized by topic).
  4. Toggle pages in or out of the file.
  5. Customize the metadata (title, description, canonical URL) for each section.
  6. Click Generate.

The file is generated in the standard markdown format that AI systems expect.

Publishing your llms.txt

AEO Goal gives you two options:

Manual: Download the generated file and place it at yourdomain.com/llms.txt.

Auto-publish: If you have a publishing integration connected (WordPress, GitHub), AEO Goal can publish the file directly to your domain.

Updating your llms.txt

AEO Goal monitors your crawled content for new or removed pages and alerts you when your llms.txt may be out of date. You can re-generate and re-publish from the same interface.

llms-full.txt

For sites with extensive documentation, AEO Goal can also generate an llms-full.txt file - a more comprehensive version that includes full page content in a structured format. This is especially useful for developer documentation and knowledge bases.
