llms.txt, MCP, and Schema: The Technical Foundations of GEO in 2026 | Predicta Digita

Most businesses are still optimising for search engines. In 2026, AI agents determine whether your business gets cited before a user clicks anything.

This post breaks down the three infrastructure layers llms.txt, MCP, and schema markup that determine your AI search visibility. If these aren't in place, your content may be invisible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews regardless of your Google rankings.

AI search traffic grew 527% year-on-year. 80% of consumers now rely on AI summaries for at least 40% of their searches. 60% of Google searches end without a click. Google’s share of global search has fallen below 90% for the first time.

Most conversations about Generative Engine Optimisation stop at content strategy. Publish authoritatively. Answer questions clearly. Build topical depth.

All of that is true. And none of it addresses the infrastructure layer — the technical architecture that determines whether an AI agent can find your business, parse what you do, and cite you when generating an answer.

In 2026, three technical pillars are separating businesses that appear in AI-generated responses from those that don't: llms.txt, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and schema markup.

llms.txt is a curated plain-text file at your domain root that gives AI agents a prioritised map of your most important content. A raw HTML page can consume 16,000 tokens for an AI agent to process. The clean Markdown equivalent takes around 3,150. That gap shapes whether your content gets read or skipped.

MCP is the protocol layer that lets AI agents operate inside your digital environment — pulling current pricing, querying service catalogues, executing booking flows — through a standardised interface rather than by scraping HTML. Google's WebMCP proposal, announced in February 2026, moves this from a developer ecosystem play to an emerging web standard.

Schema markup in 2026 isn't about rich snippets. It's about entity resolution — giving AI systems the structured signals they need to identify your business as a distinct, citable source across platforms.

The full piece maps out a four-layer GEO technical stack for service businesses, covers what each protocol actually does and doesn't do, and gives an honest assessment of where each is overclaimed.
