Is your site showing up in those answers?** CiteHQ adds an llms.txt file to your WordPress site—the emerging standard that helps AI tools understand and cite your content. **One click. No setup. Works immediately.** #### Why AI Can’t Find Your Content When someone asks ChatGPT or Claude a question your content could answer, AI has to guess what your site is about. Most sites get overlooked. #### What is llms.txt? CiteHQ creates an llms.txt file at yoursite.com/llms.txt that tells AI: * What your site is about * Which pages matter most * How to describe your content It’s like robots.txt, but for AI instead of search engines. #### AI Search Statistics * 400M+ weekly ChatGPT users * AI search traffic up 527% year-over-year * 844,000+ sites already have llms.txt * Used by Anthropic, Stripe, Cloudflare, and others Early adopters have the advantage. Setup takes 60 seconds. #### llms.txt Features * **Instant Setup** — Activate and done. Your llms.txt is live. * **Smart Defaults** — Automatically includes your published content. * **Full Control** — Choose which posts, pages, and media to include. * **Media Library Support** — Include images with alt text, captions, and descriptions. * **URL Pattern Exclusion** — Exclude URLs using wildcards (e.g., /private/*, *. pdf). * **SEO Friendly** — Respects noindex settings from Yoast, Rank Math, and others. * **Auto Updates** — Regenerates when you publish new content. * **Full Content Export** — Also generates llms-full.txt with complete post content. #### Plugin Compatibility * Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All In One SEO, SEOPress * Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder * WooCommerce * WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache ### Privacy CiteHQ does not collect or transmit any user data.

A simple text file that helps AI understand your site—like robots.txt for AI instead of search engines. Created by Jeremy Howard (fast.ai founder), now used by hundreds of thousands of sites. [Learn more at llmstxt.org](https://llmstxt.org) ### Will this help AI find my content? AI tools increasingly look for llms.txt to quickly understand websites. Having a clear, structured summary makes it easier for AI to accurately represent your site. No guarantees—but zero downside. If AI doesn’t use it, nothing breaks. ### Which AI tools benefit? Any AI that follows the llmstxt.org standard: * ChatGPT / OpenAI * Claude / Anthropic * Gemini / Google * Perplexity * Future AI tools ### Does this replace SEO? No. SEO helps you rank in Google. CiteHQ helps AI understand and cite your content. Use both. ### Will this affect Google rankings? No. The llms.txt file has a noindex tag—Google ignores it completely. ### Can I control which content appears? Yes: * Choose post types (posts, pages, products, media) * Exclude individual posts via checkbox * Add custom descriptions per post * Exclude URLs by pattern (e.g., /private/*, *.pdf) * Respect SEO plugin noindex settings ### Does it work with WooCommerce? Yes. Enable Products in settings to include your catalogue. ### How often does it update? Automatically when you publish or update content. Or set a schedule (hourly/daily/ weekly) in settings. ### I see a 404 at /llms.txt Go to Settings Permalinks and click Save Changes. This refreshes your site’s URL structure. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/573ae37bbffaa812d956f667e5bd039731733ac1f072e2824dcde9e2d837686f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy to setup](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-to-setup-124/)󠁿 [josh1576](https://profiles.wordpress.org/josh1576/) January 22, 2026 Thanks!
