llms.txt for AI discovery for experimentation platforms

A practical playbook for product growth marketers to improve llms.txt—with checks, fixes, and measurement.

Why llms.txt matters in feature experimentation

product growth marketers cannot win AI shortlists on content alone if llms.txt is broken. llms.txt is a root-level orientation file that summarizes your product, key URLs, and citation preferences for AI systems—without replacing crawlable pages.

In feature experimentation, common blockers include: Product docs are behind login walls; robots.txt blocks AI search bots unintentionally; Comparison queries cite review sites instead of the brand. Category leaders win citations when their public pages answer buyer questions more clearly than yours.

What to check

  1. /llms.txt present at the site root with an accurate product summary
  2. Optional /llms-full.txt for longer documentation
  3. Links to pricing, docs, and canonical product pages
  4. Consistency between llms.txt claims and live page content
