llms.txt Generator
Build a store-aware llms.txt covering your collections and policies.
What llms.txt is
llms.txt is a proposed convention (from llmstxt.org, not an official web standard) for a plain Markdown file at yourstore.com/llms.txt: an H1 with your site's name, a one-line summary, and H2 sections listing links, meant to give an AI system a quick, curated map of a site instead of making it crawl and guess.
This tool reads your homepage and its navigation and footer links, then drafts the file with your store name, a summary built from your meta description, and sections for the collections and policy pages it found linked from your homepage.
Google has said it does not use llms.txt for Search or AI Overviews, and doesn't endorse it: Gary Illyes said at Google Search Central Live that Google won't crawl or use these files, and John Mueller compared it to the old keywords meta tag. Treat it as a possible nice-to-have for AI chat and agent products that choose to read it (support is inconsistent), not an SEO requirement.
Publishing it
- 01
Shopify
Shopify pages always live under
/pages/, so a true root-level/llms.txtneeds an app, an app proxy, or an edge rule the same way/.well-known/files do. As a native workaround, some stores instead publish the content at/pages/llms-txtand link to it from their footer; that isn't the exact spec location, but AI systems that follow links can still find it. - 02
WooCommerce / WordPress
Upload the file as
llms.txtin your site's root folder over SFTP, or via a plugin that lets you add root-level files.
Questions people ask
Will this help my AI Overviews or ChatGPT visibility?
There's no confirmed evidence it does. Good structured data, clear product pages and normal SEO fundamentals matter far more; this is a low-effort extra, not a replacement for them.
Why are some of my collections missing from the file?
It only lists collections linked from your homepage's navigation or footer, to avoid guessing at URLs. Add any missing ones by editing the generated file directly.
Does this replace my sitemap.xml?
No. Search engines still need your sitemap.xml; llms.txt is a separate, much shorter file aimed at AI systems that choose to read it.
How often should I regenerate it?
Whenever your main collections or policies change meaningfully. It's a small file, so there's no cost to rebuilding it.
