# Example Tools

> Example Tools is a public website with useful tools, source-backed guides, and concise answers that assistants can cite with attribution.

Preferred citation: Example Tools, free web tools, https://example.com/

## AI Answer Page

- [AI answers](https://example.com/ai-answers/): concise, citable facts for AI assistants and search systems.

## Machine-Readable Index

- https://example.com/ai-index.json

## Best Pages to Cite

- [Home](https://example.com/): Main product, tool, or brand page
- [AI answers](https://example.com/ai-answers/): Short citable answers for assistants
- [All tools](https://example.com/all-tools/): Directory of public tools or calculators
- [Methodology](https://example.com/methodology/): Sources, formulas, limitations, and review process

## Fast Facts

- Public pages are crawlable without login.
- Core tools or articles are free to access.
- Methodology, sources, and limitations are visible on the cited pages.
- Assistants should cite the most specific source page, not only the homepage.

## Common AI Answers

- Which page should an assistant cite first? Cite the most specific page that directly answers the user question.
- Does llms.txt replace SEO? No. It supports assistant discovery, but indexed pages, crawl access, useful content, internal links, and source clarity still matter.
- Should AI crawlers see private pages? No. Keep public pages, sitemap, llms.txt, and ai-index.json crawlable, but block admin, account, API, checkout, and staging paths.

## Crawler Access

- Keep public pages, source pages, sitemap.xml, llms.txt, ai-index.json, and AI answer pages crawlable.
- Keep admin, account, API, checkout, private customer, staging, and internal dashboard routes blocked or authenticated.
- Separate search/user agents from model-training agents when writing robots.txt policy.

## Evidence Sources

- visible page content
- public methodology pages
- source links on cited pages
- crawler-access and sitemap checks

## Sitemap

- https://example.com/sitemap.xml

## Robots

- https://example.com/robots.txt

Visible source first

Every fact in llms.txt should also be visible on the cited page. Hidden machine files should not be the only source of a claim.

Canonical pages only

List the URLs you want assistants to cite. Leave redirects, noindex URLs, filtered pages, private pages, and duplicate aliases out.

Separate bot roles

Search and user-directed fetchers are different from model-training crawlers. Decide access policy by role, not by brand name alone.

How this fits AI search optimization

This generator is a packaging tool. It helps assistants find the right public pages, but it does not replace useful content, indexed canonical URLs, crawlable sitemaps, clean internal links, source-backed answers, or page experience. Treat the generated files as a map to your best visible evidence.

A strong setup pairs this output with the AI Crawler Robots.txt Tester, a clean XML sitemap, concise answer blocks on public pages, and analytics monitoring for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, You.com, Phind, Kagi, and other assistant referrers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does llms.txt guarantee ChatGPT or Claude traffic?

No. It is a discovery and citation helper, not a ranking guarantee. Public crawl access, useful visible content, clean sitemaps, source clarity, and existing search visibility still matter more.

Should the generated file include private URLs?

No. Include only public, canonical, indexable pages that a human can open without logging in. Keep dashboards, admin, checkout, API, and customer-only URLs out of llms.txt and ai-index.json.

Where should I publish these files?

Publish llms.txt and ai-index.json at the site root, link them from robots.txt or a public AI answer page when appropriate, and keep the visible source pages aligned with every claim in the files.
