Guides
Plain guides to what stops Google, AI shopping answers and shoppers from choosing an online store, and how to fix each problem. Every check has a source and a date.
- How do I get my products into Google Shopping's free listings?
Add Product JSON-LD with name, image and an Offer (price above 0, ISO currency), match the visible price and stock, and add a GTIN or MPN + brand.
- How do you get your products shown and cited in AI shopping answers?
Let OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Bingbot and Googlebot fetch your product pages and images, and put price, stock and brand on the page.
- What on a product page stops shoppers from buying?
Show the price with shipping cost, a delivery date, 4+ images, returns next to the buy button, reviews and a page that loads fast on phones.
- Can Google crawl, index and trust your online store?
A product page can be indexed only if robots.txt allows it, it returns 200 with no noindex and its canonical points to itself.
