AI readiness

You guide AI tools to your best content

ai.missing-llms-txt

Why this matters

An emerging convention: a plain text file listing what your site is and which pages matter, written for AI assistants rather than search engines. Nobody is penalised for not having one, and support is still patchy — but it is cheap, and it is how you get described accurately rather than guessed at.

How to fix it

Create /llms.txt with a short description of the business and links to your most important pages, in Markdown. Treat it as a summary for someone who has never heard of you.

How we score it

Failing this check takes up to 0 points off your ai readiness score. It is a fact about your site rather than a measurement, so it reads the same on every scan until you change something.
