The direct answer
A file intended to help automated reading does not prove a system used it or improved a business's visibility. Treat it as an optional experiment with limits.
Start with the evidence
Ask which specific service documents support for the file and what outcome is being measured. Check whether the site's ordinary content is already accessible.
Make the change deliberately
Prioritize accurate crawlable pages and verified business facts. Avoid selling an added text file as a required certification or guaranteed AI-ranking solution.

Platform guidance can change. Consult the current official documentation before making platform-specific changes.
