Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) files are structured assets that tell AI crawlers, agents, and language models how to read and represent your brand. Without them, AI platforms have to guess your brand’s context from unstructured web content — and they often get it wrong or miss you entirely. CogNerd’s GEO pipeline crawls your site and generates seven ready-to-deploy files in one automated job.
1

Go to GEO Assets

In the left sidebar, click GEO Assets, or navigate to /dashboard/geo-assets.
2

Enter your website URL

Type in your primary domain (e.g., https://yourdomain.com) and click Generate. Make sure this is the publicly accessible root of your site — CogNerd needs to crawl it.
Generating GEO files costs 20 credits per run. You’ll be shown a confirmation before the job starts. Check your credit balance under Credits in the sidebar if you’re unsure.

Wait for the pipeline to complete

CogNerd runs a four-stage pipeline in the background:
  1. Page Discovery — maps all crawlable pages on your site
  2. Content Crawl — reads and extracts content from each discovered page
  3. Enhanced Asset Generation — builds structured representations of your brand, entities, and content
  4. Final Report — compiles and packages all seven output files
The full job typically takes several minutes. You’ll see live status updates on the dashboard — no need to stay on the page.
You receive a job ID when the run starts. If you navigate away and come back, the dashboard will show the current status of your job automatically.

Download your GEO files

When the pipeline finishes, click Download ZIP to get all seven files in a single archive:
FilePurpose
llms.txtMachine-readable brand summary for AI agents and language models
robots.txtAI-aware crawl rules that guide what AI bots can and can’t access
sitemap.xmlPage index for efficient crawling and indexing
site.jsonldSite-level entity schema (schema.org)
organization.jsonldBrand identity schema including name, logo, and social profiles
website.jsonldWebsite and search action schema
entities.jsonEntity relationship graph describing your brand’s key concepts

Deploy the files to your site

Each file has a specific deployment target:
Place llms.txt at the root of your domain so it’s accessible at yourdomain.com/llms.txt. This is the most important file — AI agents check for it the same way browsers check for robots.txt.
After deploying your GEO files, wait a week and then re-run your Brand Analysis. Most brands see a measurable improvement in their AI Visibility Score within 7–14 days of deployment as AI crawlers pick up the new structured data.
GEO files reflect your site at the time of the crawl. If you make significant changes to your site, products, or brand, re-run the pipeline to keep your files current. You can regenerate as often as needed.
