I'd like to suggest a new feature that would support the creation and management of an llms.txt file directly within the plugin.
As LLMs and AI-driven search engines become more prevalent, it is increasingly important to optimize websites not only for traditional search engines, but also for generative engines (such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and others). A standardized llms.txt file (similar in function to robots.txt) can help signal to these models how they should treat a website's content, what should be indexed, and what should be excluded.
Why this makes sense for The SEO Framework:
- It aligns with the plugin's core mission: helping users improve the visibility and indexing of their sites.
- GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is becoming a significant area in the SEO landscape.
- As early adoption increases, your plugin would stand out by supporting future-facing SEO technologies.
- Similar to how robots.txt supports crawler instructions, llms.txt can guide LLM crawlers on preferred content usage and attribution.
Suggested functionality:
- Allow users to create or enable and edit an llms.txt file from the plugin settings page.
- Offer a default template with best practices that users can customize.
- Possibly integrate with existing site metadata or schema settings to streamline the setup.
