Adding LLMs.txt to root domain (website.com/LLMs.txt)

Need: With AI becoming apart of search more and more I need a way to add the llms.txt to the root of the domain.
Current: You cannot add txt file to root of domain.
llms.txt is a proposed standard for helping LLMs access and interpret structured content from websites. You can read the full proposal on llmstext.org.
In a nutshell, it’s a text file designed to tell LLMs where to find the good stuff: API documentation, return policies, product taxonomies, and other context-rich resources. The goal is to remove ambiguity by giving language models a curated map of high-value content, so they don’t have to guess what matters.

Proposed GHL Improvement: Add Support for Hosting Root-Level Text Files (e.g., llms.txt, ai.txt, security.txt)
Many modern SEO, GEO, and AI-search frameworks now require brands to host machine-readable files at the root of their domain (e.g., domain.com/llms.txt, domain.com/ai.txt, domain.com/security.txt).
Currently, GHL-hosted websites cannot create or upload any root-level files, and funnel/page URLs cannot contain .txt extensions. This prevents users from implementing industry-standard AI-visibility and compliance files.
This limitation affects:
AI Answer Engine Optimization (GEO/SEO for AI chat systems)
LLM indexing signals (llms.txt, ai.txt, model-readiness files)
Security/disclosure standards (security.txt, humans.txt)
Verification systems that expect accessible plain-text files at domain root
Technical SEO workflows that rely on non-HTML file types
Recommended Enhancements
Allow uploading static plain-text files to the root directory
(llms.txt, ai.txt, security.txt, humans.txt, sitemap-alt, etc.)
Allow pages/steps to use .txt extensions
or provide a setting to mark a page as text/plain so crawlers treat it correctly.
Provide a simple "Static Files" manager
where users can upload TXT, JSON, XML, and other non-HTML resources required for modern SEO and AI indexing.
Add documentation for AI/SEO readiness
so agencies can correctly implement AI visibility standards within GHL-hosted sites.
Why This Matters
AI-powered search engines and LLM crawlers are rapidly adopting llms.txt and similar standards. Without the ability to host these files, GHL websites are at a disadvantage in AI-search visibility, compliance, and verification compared to platforms that support root-level text files.
Enabling this functionality would immediately strengthen GHL’s position as an AI-ready CMS and support modern SEO/GEO requirements for all users.

Absolutely +1 from my side 👇
Precisely because AI answers are increasingly becoming the first point of contact, GHL needs a way to specifically control AI crawlers — not just classic search engines. llms.txt fills exactly this gap. It is basically an AI sitemap: We tell LLMs which content is authoritative (documentation, prices, policies, product structure), instead of hoping that they will “collect” it somewhere from the site.
Why this should be included in GHL:
AI-SEO out of the box: Agencies can immediately deliver “LLM-ready” websites to their customers — without external workarounds.
Less support/ workarounds: Today we have to go through external hosts, subdomains or proxies just to get a simple text file into the root.
Future security: llms.txt today, ai-agents.txt tomorrow, etc. — as soon as GHL allows root TXT, future AI standards can be mapped.
Competitive advantage: Many opt against construction kits because exactly such subtleties are missing. That would be a small feature with a big impact.
Suggestion to GHL:
In the domain/SEO area, offer a simple “llms.txt content” field, which is delivered in the root when published as /llms.txt. Not a big UI, but huge benefit for everyone who works with AI-First.
Please prioritize — the topic is now being addressed by more and more customers.

High time GHL has to do this. All website builders have already added this to their tools.

Just a thought for a temporary workaround - would a redirect work?
