        "text": "Yes, you must create an llms.txt file to give AI agents a concise map of your priority URLs and site context. It clarifies what content matters and points crawlers to strong pages.\n\nWithout it, AI may miss key pages or cite outdated content. The file should list only priority URLs, clarify site context, and be reviewed after major changes.\n\nKey factors: URL selection, context clarity, and regular updates.\n\nWrite exact site context, list priority URLs, and test whether brand answers improve after adding the file.\n\nWe help clients in National markets create and maintain llms.txt files that boost AI visibility.",
