Serving Destination
Where your summaries and FAQs get published, why on-page plus machine channels is recommended, and why machine-only isn't cloaking.
What Serving Destination Controls
AIO Radar can publish generated summaries and FAQs in two places: on the page itself
(visible to a human visitor) and in your machine channels (llms-full.txt and each
page's .md file). Serving destination decides which of those a given summary or FAQ set
actually appears in.
Set the site-wide default at AIO Radar → Settings → Content, and override it per page
in the post editor.
The Three Options
| Option | On the page | In machine channels |
|---|---|---|
| On page + machine channels (recommended) | Yes | Yes |
| On page only | Yes | No |
| Machine channels only (fallback, not best practice) | No | Yes |
Why This Matters
Answer engines fetch your live page, FAQ rich results need visible text, and no major AI
provider has confirmed it reads llms.txt — so keep summaries and FAQs on the page, not just
in your machine files. Machine-only isn't cloaking (the same content sits at its own
disclosed URL), but it leaves that reach on the table.
The Three Reasons, in Full
Overviews read your actual HTML page when they answer a question about you — not just
your llms.txt or llms-full.txt. Content that exists only in a machine file is
invisible to them.
from FAQ content a visitor can actually see on the page. An FAQ that's machine-channel
only can never earn that placement.
it reads llms.txt or llms-full.txt at all. It's a disclosed, good-faith channel — not
a guaranteed one.
Put together: on-page is where the guaranteed reach is. Machine channels are a genuine
addition on top of that, not a substitute for it.
Why Machine-Only Isn't Cloaking
Cloaking is showing search engines or bots different content than you show a human at the
same URL. Serving a summary only through llms-full.txt or a page's .md file isn't
that: the same content is published at its own disclosed URL, openly, to anyone who
requests it — a browser, a script, a bot, or a curious visitor who types /llms-full.txt
into their address bar. Nothing is swapped at the human-facing URL, ever. See
for the full no-cloaking rule this product follows.
Machine-only is a legitimate, disclosed choice — for content you deliberately don't want
cluttering the page, for instance. It's just weaker for AI visibility than putting the same
content on the page too, for the three reasons above.
Changing the Default
AIO Radar → Settings → Content → Serving destination sets the site-wide default for
new summaries and FAQs. Existing content keeps whatever destination it was generated with
until you change it.
Overriding a Single Page
Open the page in the editor and use the Serving destination field in the AIO Radar
metabox. Choose Inherit site default to fall back to the site-wide setting, or pick one
of the three destinations to override it for that page only.
Troubleshooting
A Summary Isn't Showing on the Page
Check that page's serving destination override isn't set to Machine channels only —
that's working as configured, not a bug.
FAQ Rich Results Aren't Appearing
Rich results depend on the search engine choosing to show them, not just eligibility — but
first confirm the FAQ is set to a destination that includes on page; a machine-only FAQ
is never eligible.
