How to use one

  1. Copy the closest example, and change the name, the summary and every address.
  2. Keep only what's true for you, and link pages that already exist.
  3. Upload it as llms.txt to your site's root, so it opens at yoursite.com/llms.txt.
  4. Check it with the llms.txt checker, and fix each line it names.

Or start from your own website: the llms.txt generator writes a first version from what your site already says.

The “For AI agents” section

List only doors that work today: an agent inbox, an MCP server, a shop's checkout profile. No door yet? Leave the section out. An agent inbox gives you one.

## Optional is the name the format uses, by convention, for links a reader may skip, so it stays in English in every language.

Questions

What should a small business put in llms.txt?

Your name as a # heading, one line on what you do and where, then links to the pages that answer customers: services and prices, hours and location, booking, policies. Add your doors for AI agents if you have them.

Which language should it be in?

The one your customers use, the same as your site. Assistants read many languages.

Can I link my booking platform or WhatsApp?

Yes, as links with a note: - [Book a table](https://…): up to 8 people. Public addresses only; never private links or staff contacts.

Where do I upload it on Wix, Shopify or WordPress?

Wix can make one for you; on WordPress, Yoast and AIOSEO can; many Shopify stores already serve one. Anywhere else, upload a file named llms.txt to your site's root.

Check your whole site: what an assistant can do with your business, and what's missing.
