# llms.txt exists but isn't linked from the home page

`geo/llms-txt-not-linked` · severity **info** · category AI search · detected by `void geo` and `void audit`

## Why it matters

llms.txt v2 adds <link rel="describedby" href="/llms.txt"> so agents can discover it from any page.

## How to fix it

Render the link in the root layout; React 19 hoists <link> elements from <body> into <head>.

## Example

```tsx
// app/layout.tsx
<body>
  <link rel="describedby" type="text/markdown" href="/llms.txt" />
  {children}
</body>
```
