Frequently asked questions
Is this tool serious?
It’s satire with real receipts. Ahrefs shipped a "free llms.txt generator" that analyzes nothing and always answers "don’t make one" - so we made this in the same spirit. The difference: the numbers underneath are real. Ahrefs Lite is $129/month ($1,548/year billed monthly); the same SERP, keyword and backlink data is available pay-as-you-go from API providers at a tiny fraction of that, and traffic truth is free in Google Search Console.
What do I actually use instead of Ahrefs?
Google Search Console for traffic and links (free, first-party). DataForSEO for SERP, keyword and backlink data - pay-as-you-go at $0.60 per 1,000 SERPs with a $50 minimum deposit, no subscription. Open-source crawlers for technical audits. And if you’d rather not assemble anything, Ranked AI includes the software plus the team doing the SEO work from $99/month.
Is llms.txt actually pointless?
No. It’s a free markdown file at your site root that gives AI systems a curated map of your site - one click to enable in many CMSs, zero maintenance cost, and read by a growing set of AI agents and tools. The "97% are never requested" stat says more about which logs were checked than about the standard: it costs nothing, harms nothing, and the agents that do read it get your best pages instead of guessing.
