--- title: "Setup" description: "Add your site, Geordy writes the files, Add the link tags." section: "Get started" canonical: "https://geordy.ai/docs/setup" --- # Setup Add your site, Geordy writes the files, Add the link tags. ## Step 1 · Add your site Create a free account, then start with the single most important page on your site. Don't start with the whole site. - Homepage - Top landing page - Pricing - Best-performing product or category page Drop that URL into Geordy. Once you're happy with what comes back, paste your sitemap and onboard the rest in batches. ## Step 2 · Geordy writes the files Geordy reads the page and writes the matching formats. You choose which ones it writes. For most sites, begin with three core formats: - Schema JSON - structured meaning data - Markdown - clean page content for AI - llms.txt - homepage only Optional additions: OG.json, YAML, RSS (.xml), manifest.json, humans.txt. Enable what you'll actually deploy. ### Where the files live Your files are already hosted at Geordy's address the moment they're generated - no DNS, no configuration needed. Reference format: files.geordy.ai/yourdomain.com/llms.txt. That is the whole of it for most sites, and it is what every free account gets. ### Optional · your own subdomain Not a setup step, and nothing waits on it: your files serve either way. When you would rather they sat under your own brand, add one A record to your DNS. **DNS record** ```dns Type: A Host: ai (or any subdomain) Value: 178.156.151.211 ``` > No wildcard, no TXT, no CNAME needed. Just one A record covers all files for that domain. Suggested subdomains: ai.yourdomain.com, geordy.yourdomain.com, data.yourdomain.com. ## Step 3 · Point AI at them Insert tags in the page pointing to Geordy files. **Reference tags** ```html ``` > This is the activation step. Without reference tags, AI systems can't discover the files. ### Check it worked Open the file address your tags point at. - On Geordy's address: files.geordy.ai/yourdomain.com/llms.txt - On your own subdomain: ai.yourdomain.com/llms.txt If it loads, you're live. If your own subdomain doesn't load yet, DNS propagation can take a few minutes to an hour. --- Source: https://geordy.ai/docs/setup This is a machine-readable markdown version of that page, generated by Geordy.
