GEO for static websites

Hugo, Jekyll, Astro and Eleventy produce finished HTML. The content is visible without JavaScript and delivered quickly — the technical basis is ideal.

What already fits

Static sites have no rendering problem: text, headings and links are in the HTML. What remains is fast delivery via CDN and a clean heading hierarchy in the templates.

robots.txt and sitemap

robots.txt and sitemap.xml belong in the output directory. Most generators have a sitemap plugin or built-in function; you create the robots.txt as a static file with bot-specific AI rules.

Schema and llms.txt

Add JSON-LD (Organization, Article, Person with sameAs) via a partial in the head template, filled from the front matter. An llms.txt in the root directory is quick to maintain with a static generator.

Checking

citeglass shows for your static page the detected JSON-LD types, whether an llms.txt is plausible, and how AI crawlers are served.

Check your own site

citeglass shows in about 30 seconds where your website is unreadable for AI systems — free and without login.
