E-commerce brand wins AI shopping shortlists with Product schema
A DTC e-commerce brand selling sustainable home goods optimized 120 product detail pages with Product JSON-LD, FAQ blocks, and an llms.txt manifest. AI shopping assistants began surfacing the brand in 'best' and 'alternatives' queries.
The challenge
Product pages were rich in images but thin on machine-readable data. AI engines could not reliably extract price, availability, or reviews, so the brand was omitted from AI-generated shopping shortlists.
Approach
- Audited all PDPs with OptimAIze to find missing Product and AggregateRating schema.
- Added Product JSON-LD with name, image, brand, offers, and aggregateRating to every PDP.
- Published FAQ blocks on PDPs answering shipping, returns, and sizing in full sentences.
- Shipped an llms.txt pointing to category buyer's guides and top-reviewed products.
- Allowed GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot in robots.txt.
