llms.txt examples for every kind of site

By the Variask team · Updated

In short

An llms.txt file is a short Markdown file at the root of your site that tells AI systems what your site is and where its most useful pages are. These examples show the format for a software company, an online store and a local business.

The template

Copy it or download it as a text file. Free to use and adapt.

The format

  1. 1A title line with your name, starting with #.
  2. 2A one line summary in a quote, starting with >.
  3. 3Sections starting with ##, such as Product, Docs or Help.
  4. 4Links as Markdown list items, with a short note after each.

Good practice

  • Keep it short. Link to your 10 to 30 most useful pages, not every page.
  • Write the summary the way you want AI to describe you.
  • Use the same facts as your site: names, prices and countries.
  • Put it at yoursite.com/llms.txt and update it when key pages change.
