After 50+ LLMRadar audits: 78% of SaaS products have no llms.txt, 85% lead with features instead of use cases, 92% have zero citation signals. All three are fixable.
The 3 Patterns
Pattern 1: No llms.txt file (78% of products)
LLMs are guessing from stale training data. Without llms.txt, they have no authoritative source to pull from. Fix: publish at yourdomain.com/llms.txt. Under 30 minutes.
Pattern 2: Feature-first descriptions (85%)
LLMs recommend by category and use case, not by feature list. If your homepage says 'We have 200+ integrations' instead of 'The CRM for SaaS companies selling to enterprise IT buyers,' you're invisible. Fix: rewrite homepage and G2/Capterra profiles to lead with category and buyer segment.
Pattern 3: Zero citation signals (92%)
No third-party sources anchor a recommendation. LLMs need external mentions -- reviews, comparison posts, independent writeups -- to feel confident citing you. Fix: build the citation layer (30-60 days of targeted outreach to reviewers and comparison sites).
How Long Each Takes
- llms.txt: 30 minutes
- Description rewrites: 1-2 days
- Citation layer: 30-60 days
