llms.txt for AI discovery for SIEM vendors
A practical playbook for security operations marketers to improve llms.txt—with checks, fixes, and measurement.
Why llms.txt matters in SIEM
security operations 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 SIEM, common blockers include: Integration and security pages are PDF-only; Canonical host inconsistency splits crawl equity; Assistants quote outdated feature claims. Analyst notes and G2-style roundups fill the answer gap when your own comparison pages are thin or blocked.
