# llms.txt for Squarespace

Squarespace generates robots.txt and sitemap.xml for you but offers no way to serve a custom root file. The workable route for llms.txt is an edge proxy in front of your domain.

Last updated: June 10, 2026

## The short answer

Squarespace manages `robots.txt` and `sitemap.xml` automatically and does not
document a setting to host an arbitrary text file at your domain root. Uploaded files live on Squarespace's
asset paths, not at `yourdomain.com/llms.txt`. The reliable workaround is an edge
layer you control in front of the domain.

## Your options

- **Edge proxy.** With your DNS on Cloudflare (proxy enabled), a Worker routed on
`yourdomain.com/llms.txt` returns the file as `text/plain` and forwards everything
else to Squarespace. The Worker code is identical to the one on our
[Webflow guide](/llms-txt-webflow/). Check Squarespace's domain-connection
requirements before enabling the proxy. 
- **Watch for native support.** If Squarespace adds a setting for AI files (their SEO
panel evolves), prefer it over a proxy and delete the Worker.   
## What to avoid

- **Linking an asset URL.** A file under Squarespace's asset paths is not at the conventional
root location. 
- **A page named llms-txt.** An HTML page does not satisfy the spec, which expects plain
Markdown served as text.     
✓ Draft the content first

Generate a draft from your sitemap with the  generator , curate it, then
validate . Keep the file versioned so serving it is trivial once your
route is in place.

## FAQ

### Does llms.txt change my Google rankings?

No, Google has said it does not use the file; see [llms.txt and SEO](/llms-txt-seo/).

### What should a small business site list in it?

Services, pricing, opening hours or contact page, and the FAQ: the pages an assistant needs to
answer questions about you accurately.
