What is llms.txt and does a real estate website need one?

llms.txt is a plain text file at the root of a website, such as yoursite.com/llms.txt, that gives AI tools a short summary of who you are and links to your most useful pages. It is a proposed convention, not an official standard, and AI tools are not required to read it. For a real estate site it is cheap to have and helps point AI tools to your best pages. Every Savvy Studio site ships one.

What the file looks like

It is written in Markdown. The top has your name or business and a one-line description. Below that come short sections of links with a sentence about each one. Think of it as a table of contents written for an AI reader instead of a person. It does not replace your sitemap, which lists every page for search engines.

What a real estate llms.txt should point to

  • Your about page: who you are, your brokerage and the areas you serve
  • Your main neighborhood or city pages
  • Your answer pages for common buyer and seller questions
  • Your contact page
  • Your home search page

How to check yours

  • Open yoursite.com/llms.txt in a browser
  • Confirm the name, brokerage and areas are correct
  • Click a few links to make sure they work
  • Check that new answer pages show up after you publish them
  • On a site built elsewhere, ask your builder to generate one and keep it updated

Keep expectations honest

Having an llms.txt will not get you mentioned by ChatGPT on its own, and some AI tools may ignore it. What earns mentions is useful, specific content on pages crawlers can read, plus consistent facts about you across the web. The file is a small, sensible extra that makes your best content easier to find once it exists.
