AI discoverability (AIEO) & llms.txt

Updated on 2026-10-01

Management → Website → My website

Guests increasingly search via AI assistants ("where can I find a B&B with a jacuzzi near Ghent, with room next weekend?"). That is why, on top of SEO, BedFlow also does AIEO — AI Engine Optimization: every active property automatically gets an llms.txt profile, the emerging standard file that lets AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) understand a site without having to crawl all of it.

What's in it?

Only facts from your own property data: name, location, facilities (from your mini-site), rooms with capacity, contact details and your direct booking link — plus a live availability summary for the next 8 weeks, summarised in date ranges. That way an AI assistant can not only say that you exist, but also when there is still room. The summary refreshes itself every 30 minutes.

Where is it?

  • Always: https://bedflow.eu/llms/{your-property-slug}.txt
  • On your own mini-site domain, automatically as https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt — together with an AI-friendly robots.txt that points to it.

Your own website (no mini-site)?

Do you have your own website outside BedFlow? Have your web designer forward (proxy) /llms.txt to your BedFlow profile — then your own site also stays up to date for AI assistants at all times. Feel free to ask support; it is one line of server configuration.

What you can do yourself

The profile gets better as your details become more complete. Under Management → Website → My website, fill in your Search engine description (SEO section) and your Facilities, and under Settings → Room types the information about your rooms. Use recognisable search terms (e.g. "private wellness", "15 minutes from Ghent") — those are exactly the words guests use when asking an AI assistant.
