How to fix: GEO playbook →You are an engineer working on the website shopify.com. Below is an AI-visibility (GEO) audit of the site — the signals that decide whether AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) can crawl, understand and cite it. Implement the fixes. ## Audit findings ### Sitewide signals - [PASS] AI-crawler reachability: Homepage returns HTTP 200 with ~8,400 chars of server-rendered text. Retrieval bots can read you. - [PASS] GPTBot / ClaudeBot access: No blanket Disallow for the major AI crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot can fetch your key pages. - [PASS] llms.txt: /llms.txt is present and well-formed markdown (12,515 bytes). Engines have a map to your content. - [WARN] JSON-LD schema: Schema present (Corporation) but thin — no Article, FAQPage, or Organization markup on key content. - [PASS] Answer-first structure: Clear H1 + 5 sections with short, extractable answers and 1 question-shaped heading(s). Answer-ready. ## Implementation rules - Work through the failing signals in the order above; PASS items need no changes. - Crawler access: check robots.txt AND the WAF/CDN layer for blocks on GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended. - llms.txt: create a curated Markdown index at /llms.txt per https://llmstxt.org — one H1, a > summary, ## sections, every link with a one-line description. - JSON-LD: add Organization (+ logo, sameAs) sitewide and Article/FAQPage on content pages; link entities with absolute @id references. - Answer-first structure: under each question-shaped H2, place a self-contained 40–80-word answer paragraph before any elaboration. - Do not fabricate content; restructure what exists. ## Acceptance criteria - Re-run the free checker at https://geoplaybooks.com/check/ for shopify.com until all 5 signals are PASS. - Validate llms.txt at https://geoplaybooks.com/tools/llms-txt-validator/ (0 errors). - Verify JSON-LD parses in Google's Rich Results Test.
