aeo.llms-txt-missing

InfoAEO audit

The site has no /llms.txt.

What to change

Optional: publish /llms.txt, a Markdown index of the pages that matter, for AI tools and coding agents that look for one. No major answer engine has said it reads llms.txt, so this is low priority.

The documentation on llmstxt.org

A finding of this rule on a page carries the exact edits for that page: the markup it quotes, and what to write instead.

When it runs

Runs on every AEO audit: of a page, a crawl, a build directory or HTML. Info is a best practice: worth doing, rarely urgent, and --no-info leaves it out. Each finding takes 1 point off the page's score.

The severity here is the rule's usual one: a finding can be raised or lowered when the page gives a reason.

Run it, or skip it

Check a page for this rule alone, after a fix for instance:

npx @rivi-software/agentic-seo-check aeo https://example.com --rule aeo.llms-txt-missing

Or from an assistant, with the MCP tool seo_aeo_audit:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "rules": [
    "aeo.llms-txt-missing"
  ]
}

To leave it out of an audit, pass --disable aeo.llms-txt-missing on the command, or disableRules: ["aeo.llms-txt-missing"] to a tool.
