Does your website explain itself to AI systems
Does your website explain itself to AI systems?
Many company sites are written for human visitors only. AI assistants and agents often need a clearer, machine-readable summary of what a business does, who it serves, and how to reach it.
One simple starting point is an llms.txt file: a plain-text file at the root of your domain that points to your most useful pages (services, pricing, contact, documentation) with short descriptions.
What it can do:
- Give AI systems a concise map of your site
- Reduce guesswork about which pages matter
What it cannot do:
- Guarantee that any AI system reads it
- Influence rankings or recommendations in a predictable way
It is a low-effort, low-risk step, and worth doing alongside the basics. Treat it as one signal among several.
