🚨 New Data Drop: LLMs.txt Shows Zero Impact on AI Citations (300k Domains Analyzed)
A fresh analysis from SE Ranking just landed, and it cuts through the hype surrounding llms.txt.
After studying ~300,000 domains, they found no measurable correlation between implementing llms.txt and getting cited in LLM answers (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.).
Here’s what you need to know 👇
SE Ranking analyzed 300,000 domains and the results are clear:
- Only 1 in 10 sites use llms.txt
- Sites with the file don’t get cited more often
- Removing llms.txt actually made their prediction model more accurate
- Google & OpenAI don’t treat it as a ranking/citation signal
👉 What this means
Adding llms.txt is fine and low-effort — but don’t expect any visibility boost right now.It’s experimental, not a proven lever.
