llms.txt & Schema

AI crawler access.

We review robots.txt, firewall and CDN rules for crawlers such as GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Bingbot, and check that key pages render without heavy scripts. Search crawlers (such as OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot and Googlebot), training crawlers (such as GPTBot) and Google-Extended (Gemini training and grounding; it does not control Google Search inclusion or ranking) are separate decisions. You decide what to allow.

llms.txt & Schema

llms.txt.

llms.txt is an optional text guide to selected website content (a Markdown file at your site root following the llmstxt.org format). It is not a standard requirement for AI search visibility, and Google says it ignores the file. Keep it accurate if you use it, but prioritize crawlable pages and useful content.

llms.txt & Schema

Schema markup.

Structured data can help systems interpret information on a page. We use appropriate types (Organization or a professional type such as LegalService, Dentist or AccountingService, Service, Person for key professionals and BreadcrumbList), avoid duplicate or conflicting entities alongside Yoast or your SEO plugin, and mark up only facts supported by the visible content.

llms.txt & Schema

Validation.

We validate with Google’s Rich Results Test and the Schema.org validator, and recheck after site updates.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is llms.txt?

A simple file at your website’s root that gives AI tools a concise summary of your business and links to your most important pages.

Will llms.txt make ChatGPT recommend me?

No. llms.txt is optional, and Google says it ignores the file. What AI tools show depends on many factors, including your pages, reviews, listings and mentions.

Should I allow GPTBot?

It depends on your policy. GPTBot collects data for model training; ChatGPT search uses OAI-SearchBot, and user-initiated visits use ChatGPT-User. Blocking GPTBot does not by itself remove you from ChatGPT search. We explain the trade-offs and you decide.

Does schema help with AI search?

Accurate schema helps machines understand your business details. It must match what is on the page.

Will this conflict with Yoast?

No. We extend Yoast’s schema rather than duplicating it.

Can I buy this as a one-off?

It is included in AI Visibility plans. One-off technical setup can be quoted as part of an AI-ready website, from $390.
