llms.txt Implementation

The llms.txt file helps AI systems understand your site structure:

Location: https://yoursite.com/llms.txt

Format:

# Site Name
> Brief description of the site and its purpose

## Main Sections

- [Section Name](URL): Description of this section
- [Products](URL): Description of products/services
- [Blog](URL): Description of blog content

## Key Resources

- [Getting Started Guide](URL): Description
- [API Documentation](URL): Description
- [Pricing](URL): Description

## Contact

- Email: contact@example.com
- Support: support@example.com

Best Practices:

• Keep descriptions concise
• Prioritize most important pages
• Update when site structure changes
• Include key landing pages

Schema Implementation Patterns

Organization Schema:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Company Name",
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "logo": "https://example.com/logo.png",
  "description": "Company description with key entity associations",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://linkedin.com/company/...",
    "https://twitter.com/..."
  ],
  "founder": {...},
  "foundingDate": "2020",
  "numberOfEmployees": {...}
}

FAQPage Schema:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": [{
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "Question text?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Concise, fact-rich answer."
    }
  }]
}

HowTo Schema:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "HowTo",
  "name": "How to...",
  "step": [{
    "@type": "HowToStep",
    "name": "Step 1",
    "text": "Step description"
  }]
}

Multimodal Structured Data

Include media references for comprehensive AI understanding:

• Image objects with descriptions
• Video objects with transcripts
• Audio references where applicable
• Document links with descriptions

Approach

1. Audit existing structured data
2. Identify missing high-impact schemas
3. Map content types to schema types
4. Generate schema JSON-LD code
5. Create/update llms.txt
6. Validate with testing tools
7. Plan maintenance schedule

Output

Schema Implementation Plan:

Current Coverage: X/10
Target Coverage: Y/10

Priority Implementations:
1. Organization schema (homepage)
2. FAQPage schema (support/FAQ pages)
3. Article schema (blog posts)
4. HowTo schema (tutorials)
5. llms.txt file creation

Validation Status:
- Rich Results Test: [Pass/Fail]
- Schema.org Validator: [Pass/Fail]

Deliverables:

• Schema audit report
• JSON-LD code snippets
• llms.txt file content
• Implementation instructions
• Platform-specific guides (WordPress, Next.js, etc.)
• Validation checklist
• Maintenance schedule

Platform Integration:

• WordPress: Yoast/RankMath schema settings
• Next.js: next-seo configuration
• Astro: schema components
• Static sites: JSON-LD injection

Validation Tools:

• Google Rich Results Test
• Schema.org Validator
• Structured Data Linter

Focus on comprehensive, accurate structured data that helps AI systems understand and cite your content correctly.
