Why your website should be readable by AI assistants

People now ask ChatGPT and friends for a local florist or physio. Here is what those assistants read, and how a small business site can help them.

When someone asks an AI assistant for a childcare centre near Schofields, the assistant reads websites to answer. If your site is a heavy page builder with your hours inside an image, it may simply skip you.

What assistants look for

  • A plain-text (Markdown) version of each page
  • An llms.txt file listing the pages that matter
  • Structured business details: name, address, hours and services

Every site we build publishes all three automatically, including every blog post you add later, like this one.

Try it: add .md to the end of this page's address.
