> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

[Content only](https://docs.kentico.com/k11/developing-websites/defining-website-content-structure/page-types/creating-content-only-page-types.md) pages in Kentico allow you to define a page alias as part of their URL. Page alias is a part of a URL that identifies a page using human-readable keywords. Usually, page alias is something that describes the content it identifies. One of the motivations for using page aliases to identify pages is to improve the site's [SEO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization).

For example, a page alias for an article that talks about coffee brewing techniques could be defined as "coffee-brewing-techniques". The way page aliases are used on your website will depend on how you want the URLs of content on your site to look.

**To define a page page alias in content only pages**

1. Open the **Pages** application.
2. Click on the page for which you want to define a page alias. This needs to be a [content only](https://docs.kentico.com/k11/developing-websites/defining-website-content-structure/page-types/creating-content-only-page-types.md) page.
3. Click on **Properties -> Page alias.**
4. Enter a page alias in the **Page alias** field.
5. **Save**.

The page now uses the defined page alias as it's identifier.
