llms.txt present
Unknown observations are excluded from denominators. llms.txt presence is descriptive and is not treated as a Google or LLM ranking factor.
Methodology
Sampling frame is a checked-in deterministic list of 50 deduplicated SEO software vendors chosen to cover five commercial query themes relevant to US and UK English buyers. Each vendor is assigned one theme for grouping; assignment and vendor order are not live search results or search rankings.
Collector requested homepage, robots.txt, llms.txt, pricing, and docs paths: maximum five requests per domain. Robots rules were checked before page collection. Failed or blocked observations remain unknown instead of becoming negative findings.
Checks are deterministic string and HTTP tests for indexability, self-domain canonical, Organization and SoftwareApplication schema, visible pricing, methodology language, author/update transparency, documentation, direct-answer content, named search-crawler access, and llms.txt.
No customer GSC, GA4, account, or private product data was used. Snapshot was collected 17 July 2026 at 09:56 UTC.
