What is AI readiness for a Shopify store?

It is how much of your store a shopping agent (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Mode) can actually read and act on: a machine readable catalog, structured data, crawler permissions, and policies it can quote before closing a sale.

Do you need access to my store?

No. The check only reads what your store already serves publicly: the homepage, robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap.xml, products.json and one product page. No app install, no account, no admin access.

A short markdown file at the root of your domain that tells agents what you sell, where your catalog lives and which policies apply. The check generates one from your own store, ready to publish.

Why does robots.txt matter for AI agents?

Many themes and security apps block GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot by default. If those crawlers are blocked, your products never enter the answers customers get when they ask an assistant what to buy.

Is the score a Google SEO score?

No. Classic SEO scores a page against search rankings. This scores your store against what an autonomous agent needs to recommend and sell your products.
