AI Crawler Optimization FAQ

What is an LLMs.txt file?

LLMs.txt is a standardized file that tells AI language models how to understand your business. It includes your services, expertise, contact info, and key differentiators in a format AI can parse.

Why are businesses blocking AI crawlers?

Many sites accidentally block AI crawlers through outdated robots.txt files or overly restrictive security settings. This makes them invisible when AI platforms recommend businesses to users.

How quickly will I see results?

AI crawlers typically revisit sites within 7-14 days. Once properly optimized, you should see increased AI-driven traffic and recommendations within 2-3 weeks.
