Patients now ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity who to book with. An llms.txt file tells AI assistants exactly what your practice does, in the format they read best, so you get named, cited, and recommended. Generate yours free in about a minute.
AI assistants skim; they don't browse. llms.txt condenses your whole site into a clean, structured summary that models like ChatGPT and Claude can read in one pass.
"Best dentist near me" is moving from the Google search bar to the ChatGPT prompt box. Here's what that means for you.
Millions of people now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI for recommendations, including who to trust with their teeth. AI answers name a handful of businesses. You want to be one of them.
Like robots.txt guides search crawlers, llms.txt guides AI models: who you are, what you offer, and which pages matter. It removes the guesswork so models describe you accurately and confidently.
When AI can't read or understand your site, it recommends your competitor instead. Clear structure, open crawler access, and an llms.txt file make you the easy, safe answer to cite.
The file must load at yoursite.com/llms.txt: the root of your domain, right next to robots.txt. Pick your platform:
public_html (it's the folder that contains wp-config.php).llms.txt file we emailed you./llms.txt with your file's contents. About 10 minutes for someone comfortable with DNS, or a 1-line task for your web person./llms.txt with your file's contents (10-minute setup).public_html folder (your web root, where robots.txt usually lives too).llms.txt file we emailed you.llms.txt in the folder that serves your site root: public/ in Next.js/Vite/CRA, static/ in Hugo/SvelteKit, or the web root next to robots.txt on any server.llms.txt is step one. These five moves compound it, and they're the same signals our AI Visibility Check scores you on.
If GPTBot or ClaudeBot is blocked, AI literally cannot read your site and won't recommend it. Add the snippet on the right to your robots.txt.
AI models love pages that ask and answer real questions ("How much do implants cost?"). An FAQ page written in plain language is prime citation material.
LocalBusiness or Dentist schema confirms your name, address, hours, and services in a machine-readable format AI trusts.
AI answers lean heavily on Maps data and reviews. Fresh photos, filled-out services, and a steady stream of recent reviews all feed the models.
AI recommends businesses it sees cited across the web: directories, local news, association pages. Every quality mention raises your odds of being the answer.
