RIP backlinks.
RIP meta tags.
RIP 10 years of SEO playbooks.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is here.
And it only takes one file: llm.txt
Full setup + strategy: 👇
SEO was for Google.
AIO (AI Optimization) is for Large Language Models.
Right now, LLMs are crawling the web and pulling content into their “knowledge”.
If you don’t guide them, they might ignore you or use outdated info. https://t.co/zUNUevunvR
Why it matters:
• AI search is exploding (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Arc Search, etc.)
• Models build answers from web data
• If you’re not optimized, you’ll be invisible in AI responses even if you rank on Google
How to create your llm.txt:
1. Open a plain text editor → Name it llm.txt
2. Add your rules:
"
User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /
User-agent: ClaudeBot
Allow: /
User-agent: PerplexityBot
Allow: /
Sitemap: https://t.co/DC4VLVE9wj
Data-source: https://t.co/pDoggwyxur
"
3. Include AI-friendly resources:
• JSON/CSV/Markdown with facts, summaries, product info
• Keep it updated
4. Upload it to your site’s root domain:
https://t.co/Cc1bTqx8S0
5. Test it in your browser to make sure it’s public
Example AI data source (JSON):
[
{
"name": "Your Company",
"description": "AI-powered platform for...",
"founded": "2023",
"website": "https://t.co/Vq9R86RRtU"
}
]
This gives LLMs clean, structured data to use in answers.Prompt to use for making LLM.TXT file in a second:
"
I want to create an LLM.TXT file for my website so it ranks across all Large Language Models (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.).
Ask me for:
- My website URL
- Sitemap URL
- Any structured data URLs (JSON, CSV, or Markdown)
- Any content I want to restrict from AI crawlers
- Any preferred crawlers to block or allow
Then, generate a complete LLM.TXT file with:
- Allow/Disallow rules for major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, etc.)
- Links to my sitemap(s) and structured data
- Clear comments explaining each section
Make sure it’s optimized for maximum AI visibility and compliant with current AI crawler standards.
"
