llms.txt templates for Squarespace — service, ecom, photographer, therapist

§ 01 Usage

How to use these templates

Each template below is a complete manifest body. Copy the whole code block, paste it into the Markdown block of your /llms destination page, then go line by line and swap placeholder URLs for the live URLs on your site. The H1 is the only required element per the spec — everything else is optional but the templates ship the full structure because Cloudflare and Anthropic both use it and validators score higher on completeness.

The patterns the templates use mirror the public examples² ³: H1, blockquote, then 2-4 H2 sections grouping pages by purpose. The placeholder host throughout is https://example.com; replace it once globally with your real domain after pasting.

§ 02 Template A

Service-business template

For a Squarespace site that sells a service — agency, studio, consultancy, contractor, coach. The structure: services overview, pricing, results, contact, plus an optional FAQ section for the long-tail questions an AI engine would want to answer accurately on your behalf.

§ 03 Template B

Ecommerce template

For a Squarespace 7.1 store. The structure prioritises shop categories and product groups over individual product URLs — listing every SKU bloats the file past usefulness. Pair this with a sitemap.xml entry for the long tail and use llms.txt to direct AI engines to the category-level pages and the operational pages (shipping, returns, FAQ) that determine whether a recommendation is worth making.

 # Northside Coffee Roasters > Specialty coffee roaster in Burlington, VT. This file lists the canonical pages an AI assistant should read first when summarising the catalogue, subscriptions, and ordering policies.
## Shop - [All coffee](https://example.com/shop): Full catalogue of single-origin and blend coffees.
- [Single origins](https://example.com/shop/single-origin): Rotating selection by harvest.
- [Blends](https://example.com/shop/blends): Year-round house blends.
- [Subscriptions](https://example.com/shop/subscriptions): Monthly delivery plans, customisable cadence.
- [Brewing equipment](https://example.com/shop/equipment): Curated brewing tools.
## Customer support - [Shipping and delivery](https://example.com/shipping): Carriers, lead times, cut-off times.
- [Returns and refunds](https://example.com/returns): 30-day policy and exceptions.

Skip individual /store/p/[slug] URLs in this file — they live in the sitemap. List category-level pages instead, because AI engines summarising "best Burlington coffee roaster" need the catalogue overview, not the per-SKU detail.

§ 04 Template C

Photographer template

For a wedding, family, or portrait photographer. The structure surfaces the investment range, the services offered, the recent work, and the booking process. Project galleries on Squarespace photographer sites live under collection URLs — list a few representative collections, not every gallery item. The goal is to give an AI engine answering 'family photographer in Asheville under $1500' enough to recommend you accurately.

§ 05 Template D

Therapist / solo-practice template

For a therapist, coach, or solo-practice professional. The constraints here are higher — accurate licensing area, accepted insurance, and the modalities offered need to be findable so an AI engine answering 'EMDR-trained therapist in Asheville taking new clients' gets it right. The structure surfaces about, services, fees, and insurance up front. Skip blog posts in the file unless one specific post answers the most common intake question.

Once a template is in your /llms page, run it through the checks on the validate leaf before treating the install as done. The most common failure is a typo in a URL that resolves to 404 — validators catch link integrity in a single pass.
