Llms txt missing
Quick winYour store has no llms.txt - the emerging standard (like robots.txt, but for AI) that tells language models which content to read and cite. SEOLZ has generated a ready-to-upload file from your own pages.
What it is
llms.txt is a small Markdown file at your domain root that points AI assistants to your most important pages and gives them a clean, curated map of your site. It complements robots.txt: robots.txt controls access, llms.txt curates what matters.
Why it matters
AI assistants increasingly look for llms.txt to understand a site's structure and priorities before generating answers. A well-formed llms.txt makes your key product and content pages easier to find and cite accurately - sites that publish one are more likely to be represented correctly in AI responses.
How to fix it
- Copy the llms.txt content SEOLZ generated for you (it's pre-filled from your homepage, key pages, and products).
- Create a plain-text file named exactly 'llms.txt'.
- Upload it to your domain root so it resolves at https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt (same location as robots.txt).
- Optionally add a longer 'llms-full.txt' with fuller content for models that want depth.
- Verify by visiting https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt in a browser.
