The way people discover businesses is changing. Instead of scrolling through pages of search results, more people are asking AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for recommendations.


The Problem with AI Discovery


When someone asks an AI assistant "What are the best walking tours in Rome?", the AI needs to understand which businesses exist, what they offer, and why they're worth recommending.


Traditional websites aren't optimized for this. AI assistants struggle to understand:


  • What services you actually offer
  • What makes your business unique
  • Key information like pricing, locations, and availability
  • Customer reviews and testimonials

  • Enter llms.txt


    The llms.txt specification provides a standardized way to communicate with AI systems. Similar to how robots.txt helps search engines, llms.txt helps AI assistants understand your business.


    What Goes in an llms.txt File


    A typical llms.txt file includes:


  • Business name and description
  • Services and products offered
  • Unique selling propositions
  • Contact information
  • Links to key pages
