You’ve heard of robots.txt — the file that tells search engine crawlers which pages they can and can’t access. llms.txt is the equivalent for AI platforms. It’s a plain-text file at yourfirm.com/llms.txt that tells ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other AI systems what your firm does, who you serve, where you’re located, and what makes you different.
Without an llms.txt file, AI platforms have to piece together your firm’s identity from whatever they can crawl — your homepage, your about page, your blog posts, directory listings. That’s slow, incomplete, and error-prone. With an llms.txt file, you’re giving AI a structured, authoritative summary of your firm in a format it can process instantly.
What Goes in an llms.txt File
A well-structured llms.txt file includes your firm name, primary practice areas, office locations with full addresses, founding year, number of attorneys, notable case results or recognitions, and a clear description of the types of clients you serve. It’s not marketing copy — it’s structured data that helps AI understand and recommend your firm accurately.
How Faneros Generates Yours
Every Faneros scan automatically generates a custom llms.txt file built from your firm’s actual website data — not a template. It extracts your practice areas, locations, attorney information, and case results, then formats them in the structure AI platforms expect. Download it, upload it to your site root, and AI platforms can read it immediately.
