Validation Steps
Open Your Hosted Subdomain
Navigate to your configured subdomain (e.g., https://geo.example.com/)
https://geo.yourdomain.com/Access Format Files
Click on a format file to verify it loads correctly:
/llms.txt- AI-readable text format/geordy.yaml- Structured YAML data/schema.json- JSON-LD structured data/feed.rss- RSS feed format
Verify HTTP Response
Ensure each file loads without errors (HTTP 200 response). You should see the file content displayed in your browser, not an error page.
Inspect Content Quality
Review the file content to ensure proper formatting:
- YAML and Markdown - Should be human-readable with proper indentation
- JSON files - Should validate with no syntax errors
- RSS feeds - Should contain valid XML structure
site:
name: "Example Site"
url: "https://example.com"
description: "AI-optimized content"
pages:
- title: "Home"
path: "/"
priority: highAccessible structured data confirms correct configuration
Optional Validation Tools
Use these external tools to verify your structured data is properly formatted:
