LLMs.txt
llms.txt is an emerging standard for providing AI models with a machine-readable summary of your business. Nordax generates and hosts this file automatically for every published entity.
What Is llms.txt?
Just as robots.txt tells search engine crawlers how to index your site,llms.txt tells large language models what your business is, what you offer, and how to contact you. When an AI model encounters your domain, it can read this file to provide accurate answers about your business.
Nordax auto-generates this from your entity profile, so the data is always up to date.
Hosted Endpoints
| URL | Tier | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /{slug}/llms.txt | All published | Standard summary — name, type, services, location, contact |
| /{slug}/llms-full.txt | Authority+ | Extended — includes relationships, full descriptions, social profiles |
Prefixed with https://entities.nordax.ai. Cache: 5 min browser, 5 min edge, 1 hr stale-while-revalidate. Lower-tier entities requesting llms-full.txt receive a graceful upgrade prompt instead of a 404.
Hosting on Your Domain
AI models look for llms.txt at the root of your domain (e.g., yourdomain.com/llms.txt). You have three options to make this work:
Option 1: Reverse Proxy (Recommended)
Proxy the request to Nordax so the file always stays current. No maintenance required.
Nginx
location = /llms.txt {
proxy_pass https://entities.nordax.ai/{slug}/llms.txt;
proxy_set_header Host entities.nordax.ai;
proxy_ssl_server_name on;
}Apache (.htaccess)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^llms\.txt$ https://entities.nordax.ai/{slug}/llms.txt [P,L]Option 2: URL Redirect
Configure a 301 redirect from /llms.txt to the hosted URL. Works on any platform (Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, etc.).
/llms.txt → https://entities.nordax.ai/{slug}/llms.txt (301)Option 3: Static Download
Download the file from the Nordax dashboard (“Integration → Exports”) and upload it to your web root. Note: this is a point-in-time snapshot that won't auto-update when your profile changes. Re-download after edits.
Auto-Updating
The hosted llms.txt endpoint is generated dynamically from your entity profile on every request (with edge caching). When you update your profile, changes are reflected within 5 minutes. Use the proxy or redirect option to take advantage of this.
