How to Use llms.txt on WordPress. Opens on YouTube when you press play.
llms.txt is a plain-text guide to your site, served at yoursite.com/llms.txt. It lists your important pages with short descriptions so an AI system that chooses to read it can understand your site in one pass. It is a proposed convention rather than an accepted standard, so publishing the file does not guarantee crawling, rankings, or citations. It costs you nothing to serve, and AEO God Mode keeps it up to date for you.
What the file contains
The plugin builds the file from your published content and rebuilds it as your site changes:
- Your site name and a one-line summary
- A section for each content type: Pages, Posts, Products, Downloads, and public custom types
- A short description next to each link
- An Optional section with your sitemap, so a reader can find everything else
Finding the screen
Go to AEO God Mode → llms.txt. The top of the screen shows the live file link, when it was last generated, and a File ready check. If something is missing from the file, an amber notice tells you exactly what, and pressing Regenerate rebuilds it from your current content.
Making it yours
- Optional site context: add facts that are not clear from your page titles, such as who you help, your location, or pricing. They appear near the top of the file.
- Per-page descriptions: open any post or page in the editor to write its llms.txt description, or switch its entry off when you do not want it listed.
- Edit the file: change a generated section or add your own, such as Guides or Resources. Sections you change are kept exactly as you wrote them; every section you leave alone keeps updating from your site. Discarding your edits restores the automatic version.
The Copy button copies the whole file, and the file link opens the live version in a new tab so you can see what a visitor gets.
Does llms.txt improve rankings?
Nobody can honestly promise that. llms.txt is a proposal the AI companies have not formally adopted, so treat it as a low-effort courtesy to machine readers, not a growth lever. The work that reliably moves AI visibility is answer-shaped content, clean structure, and pages worth quoting. The plugin handles the file so you can spend your time there.
