Framer sites are built for speed, visuals, and smooth publishing, but AI systems still need clear signals to understand what your site represents. An llms.txt file gives you a simple way to guide large language models toward your most important pages and themes. Instead of relying only on scattered on-page content, you can provide a structured overview directly at your domain root. In this guide, you will learn how to prepare and upload an llms.txt file to your Framer site, along with tips for structuring it effectively.

‍

What LLMs.txt Does for a Framer Website

LLMs.txt is a plain text file placed at your domain’s root, such as yourdomain.com/llms.txt. Its purpose is to present a curated list of important pages and a short description of your site in a format that AI systems can easily read.

Framer sites often rely on dynamic layouts, animations, and modular sections. While this is great for user experience, it can make it harder for automated systems to quickly understand your core offerings. LLMs.txt acts as a guide that points AI tools toward the pages that best represent your brand, services, or expertise.

‍

Before You Upload Your File

Make sure you have the following in place before adding llms.txt to Framer:

• A published Framer site connected to a custom domain
• A prepared llms.txt file in TXT format
• A clear list of the key pages you want AI systems to prioritize

Note: This feature is available on the Pro, Launch, Scale, and Enterprise plans.

Step by Step: Upload LLMs.txt in Framer

Framer provides a built in area for hosting well known files, which includes llms.txt.

Step 1: Open Your Framer Project

Log in to Framer and open the project where you want to add the file.

Step 2: Go to Project Settings

In the top menu, open Project settings. This is where domain, publishing, and technical configuration options live.

Step 3: Find the Well Known Files Section

Scroll within Project settings until you see the Well-known files section. Framer uses this area to host special files that need to be served from your site’s root.

Step 4: Upload Your LLMs.txt File

Upload your prepared llms.txt file. Framer accepts TXT format for this purpose. Make sure the file name is exactly llms.txt.

Step 5: Publish Your Site

After uploading, publish your site. Once live, your file will be available at yourdomain.com/llms.txt.

How to Structure an Effective LLMs.txt File

A good llms.txt file is not just a list of links. It should give context and direction.

‍

Here is a mock example:

‍

# Title

> Optional description goes here

Optional details go here

## Section name

- [Link title](https://link_url): Optional link details

## Optional

- [Link title](https://link_url)

‍

Start With a Clear Site Description

Open your file with a short description of what your company or project does. Keep the language plain and specific so AI systems can quickly grasp your focus and audience.

Organize Links Into Sections

Group related pages under clear section headings. For example, you might have sections for Services, Products, Resources, or Documentation. This structure helps AI systems understand how your content is organized.

Add Short Descriptions to Important Links

When listing key URLs, include a brief description of what each page covers. This extra context improves the chances of your content being interpreted correctly.

Focus on High Value Pages Only

Include pages that best represent your expertise and offerings, such as:

• Core service or product pages
• In depth guides or educational resources
• About or company pages that explain your background

Avoid adding low value, temporary, or internal pages.

Review and Update Regularly

As your Framer site evolves, update your llms.txt file to match. Add new cornerstone content and remove outdated pages so the file stays aligned with your current priorities.

‍

Common Issues and Fixes

If your llms.txt file is not accessible after publishing, check that:

• The file was uploaded in the Well-known files section
• Your site was republished after uploading
• The file name is spelled exactly llms.txt

If you replace the file with an updated version, republish your site again to ensure the changes go live.

‍

Making LLMs.txt Part of Your AI Visibility Plan

LLMs.txt works best alongside strong content and clear site structure. It gives AI systems a shortcut to your most important pages, but it cannot replace well written content or logical navigation. When paired with consistent content creation and optimization, it becomes another useful signal that supports how your brand is represented in AI driven answers. Platforms like Helm help teams produce and refine the types of high quality pages that deserve to be featured in llms.txt, keeping your messaging consistent across both search and AI discovery.

‍

A Lightweight Upgrade With Long Term Value

Adding llms.txt to a Framer site takes only a few minutes, yet it gives you a direct way to influence how AI systems interpret your website. By hosting the file through Framer’s well known files feature and keeping its content curated, you create a reliable reference point for your most important information. Treat it as a living document and update it as your site grows.
