# AEO/GEO Optimization

> Enable llms.txt and per-page schema markup after your site is already live on a custom domain.

AEO/GEO Optimization helps AI crawlers and Google better understand your website after it is already live on a custom domain.

When you enable this option during a later publish, Readdy creates a site-wide `llms.txt` file and adds schema structured data to each page.

***

## Feature Highlights

AEO/GEO Optimization is an optional publish setting for React projects that have already been published successfully.

Once enabled, it helps:

* Create an `llms.txt` file for your website
* Add schema structured data to every page
* Make your content easier for AI crawlers and Google to understand

***

## Before You Start

<Info>
  This option is available only after your website has already been published once and connected to a custom domain.

  If you have not connected a custom domain yet, follow [Publish - for React Project](/features/publish-react-v2) first.
</Info>

This guide applies to React projects using Readdy's custom-domain publish flow.

## How to Enable It

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a project that is already live">
    Go to the project that has already been published successfully on your custom domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on Optimization AEO/GEO">
    Click **Publish** in the top-right corner. In the publish dialog, enable **Optimization AEO/GEO**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish again to apply the optimization">
    Click **Update** to publish again. Readdy will then start generating `llms.txt` and page-level schema structured data for your site.

    <Warning>
      After you publish, this optimization may take some time to become available.
      This usually takes about 3 to 30 minutes, depending on how many pages your
      website has.
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How to Verify

Open `https://yourdomain/llms.txt` in your browser, replacing `yourdomain` with your actual custom domain.

If the page is available, your `llms.txt` file has been created and the AEO/GEO optimization is in effect.

## FAQs

<Accordion title="Can I disable AEO/GEO Optimization after enabling it?">
  Yes. Open the publish dialog again and turn off the **Optimization AEO/GEO** toggle, then click **Update** to republish. The `llms.txt` file and schema markup will be removed after the next publish.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Will this affect my existing website content?">
  No. This feature only adds an `llms.txt` file and schema structured data. It does not modify your existing pages or content.
</Accordion>
