AI search for shop owners · Lesson 6 of 6 · 3 min
Your 10-minute AI visibility checklist
Five checks that decide whether AI assistants can find, read and recommend your shop, and one popular fix you can skip.
The five checks
1. robots.txt lets the AI search and answer crawlers in (your training choice can stay as it is).
2. Your server, firewall or CDN doesn't turn them away, including Cloudflare's AI crawler setting.
3. Your pages show their text without JavaScript.
4. Your pages aren't marked "noindex" by mistake.
5. Each product page has product data with name, price, currency and stock.
What you can skip for now
llms.txt, a file some tools sell as the key to AI search, is barely read by AI crawlers today: Ahrefs found that 97% of the llms.txt files it studied received no requests at all. Spend the time on the five checks instead.
Keep it working
These settings change without you noticing: a plugin update, a new theme, a CDN default. Check again after any change to your site, or let us watch it weekly.
