Add llms.txt to a WordPress site

RankingArticles generates an llms.txt file for your site from your key pages and published articles, and our WordPress plugin publishes it at yoursite.com/llms.txt. llms.txt is a plain-text map of your most useful pages, written for AI crawlers and assistants.

The problem

AI assistants read websites through crawlers that have to guess which of your pages matter. Writing and maintaining an llms.txt by hand is easy to forget every time you add a page.

How to do it in RankingArticles

1. 1

   Add your site

   Create a free account and add your WordPress site.

2. 2

   Install and connect the plugin

   Upload rankingarticles.zip, activate it, copy the key from Settings → RankingArticles, and paste it in Settings → Publishing → WordPress.

3. 3

   Open the GEO tab

   Your site's GEO tab shows the generated llms.txt, built from your key pages and published articles.

4. 4

   Publish it

   With the plugin connected, the file is served at /llms.txt on your site. On other platforms, copy it and upload it yourself.

5. 5

   Check crawler visits

   The plugin counts daily visits from GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot and others (counts only, no IP addresses).

What you end up with

A live /llms.txt that lists your key pages, kept in step with what you publish, plus a daily count of AI crawler visits.

An example

A WordPress site for a yoga studio connects the plugin. Its llms.txt lists the home page, class timetable, pricing and the ten newest articles, each with a one-line note. A week later the crawler log shows daily visits from GPTBot and PerplexityBot.

Tips

• Publish a few good articles first; llms.txt is only as useful as the pages it lists.
• Look at the crawler log after a week to see which AI bots visit.
• If robots.txt blocks an AI search bot, fix that before anything else.

When RankingArticles is not the right tool

If your site isn't on WordPress, we still generate the file, but you upload it yourself. llms.txt helps AI crawlers find your pages; it does not guarantee citations.

What it costs

RankingArticles starts with a 14-day free trial, no card. After that you keep a free plan (3 articles a month), or pick a paid plan from ₹2,499 ($29) a month. Paid live data, such as AI-answer checks, is pay-as-you-go at our cost. See the plans.
