The Sitemaps and AI screen

How search engines and AI assistants find your pages: XML sitemaps, robots.txt, which AI crawlers may read the site, llms.txt and sending new pages to search engines.

  1. Open Sitemaps and AI — In WordPress, open SEO in the menu, then Sitemaps and AI under Search appearance in the plugin's side menu. How search engines and AI assistants find your pages: XML sitemaps, robots.txt, which AI crawlers may read the site, llms.txt and sending new pages to search engines.
  2. The Sitemaps tab — Open the Sitemaps tab. Your XML sitemaps: which kinds of page are in them, images, videos and news, and the address to give search engines.
  3. The robots.txt tab — Open the robots.txt tab. Edit robots.txt with checks that read it the way search engines do, and test any address against it.
  4. The AI crawlers tab — Open the AI crawlers tab. Choose which AI crawlers may read the site — the ones that train models and the ones that answer questions with a link to you.
  5. The llms.txt tab — Open the llms.txt tab. Publish llms.txt (and llms-full.txt) so AI assistants know what the site is and which pages matter.
  6. The Indexing tab — Open the Indexing tab. Tell Bing and the other IndexNow search engines about new and changed pages the moment they change, and send your sitemap to Google and Bing.
