Installing your AI-Ready files on Static site or cPanel
Last updated 19 September 2026
If you can reach the folder your site is served from, this is the shortest install of the lot: the files go where they are named, and nothing has to be configured.
robots.txt
Files: robots.txt
This is the file that tells search engines and AI crawlers which parts of your site they may read.
- Using the host's file manager or an FTP client, open the root folder the domain serves from (often public_html or www).
- Create or replace robots.txt there with the file we sent.
sitemap.xml
Files: sitemap.xml
This lists your pages so crawlers can find them without guessing.
- In the same root folder, create or replace sitemap.xml with the file we sent.
llms.txt and llms-full.txt
Files: llms.txt, llms-full.txt
These give AI systems a short plain-text map of your site and a fuller copy of its content, in the format they read fastest.
- In the same root folder, add llms.txt and llms-full.txt.
- Load yourdomain.com/llms.txt and yourdomain.com/llms-full.txt to confirm both are reachable.
The For-AI page
Files: for-ai.txt
This page states plainly what your business does and how to reach it, written for an AI system reading in one pass rather than a person browsing.
- Convert for-ai.txt into a simple HTML page — ask us for the HTML version if converting it by hand isn't practical.
- Create a folder named for-ai in the site's root with an index.html file inside it holding that content, and upload it.
The identity block
Files: organization.jsonld
This is the structured data that tells search engines and AI systems unambiguously who you are — the same job a business card does for a person.
- Open the homepage's HTML file in the host's file manager or a code editor.
- Paste the contents of organization.jsonld inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag, just before the closing </head> tag, and save.
When you are finished
Open the verification link in the email that came with your kit. We re-scan the site and send back a one-page sheet listing every file, whether it is live, and what moved. It lands in your inbox by the next morning.
If you never click it, we run the same check thirty days after delivery and send the sheet anyway. Nothing about the install expires, and nothing here needs a developer on standby.
