Crawl Audit for Shopify sites

See what AI assistants see when they visit your site, and the exact code to fix it. Crawl Audit crawls your site the way GPTBot does and scores the signals that decide how easily an assistant can read and understand your business. A free run scores 25 of them. The paid report scores 200, ranked by impact, each with the exact code to paste. No call, no scoping document. Direct-to-consumer brands and retailers with a catalogue of a few dozen to a few thousand products.

What Shopify sites usually get wrong

  • Shopify emits Product schema per product, but Organization schema is left to the theme and is frequently missing sameAs.
  • robots.txt is editable through robots.txt.liquid since 2021; most stores have never touched it.
  • Collection pages rarely answer a question in the first paragraph, so assistants cite the product page or a competitor's guide instead.

Applying the result on Shopify

  • llms.txt on Shopify. Shopify cannot serve arbitrary root files. Use a proxy app route or host llms.txt on a subdomain and reference it from robots.txt.
  • Schema on Shopify. Add an Organization block to theme.liquid with @id, logo and sameAs; leave Product schema to the theme.
  • Crawlers on Shopify. Online Store → Themes → Edit code → add robots.txt.liquid and allow the four AI user agents explicitly.

What Crawl Audit checks

  • Crawler accessrobots.txt, firewall rules and rate limits for four AI crawlers.
  • Schema depthOrganization, Person, Product, FAQ and Article validity.
  • Entity recordsWikidata, Crunchbase and sameAs coverage.
  • Answer structureWhether pages answer a question in the first paragraph.
  • FreshnessdateModified, changelogs and stale-content flags.

Questions people ask

Does Crawl Audit work with Shopify?
Yes. It reads the public site, so the platform does not matter. The notes above cover where to apply the result on Shopify.
Is this a manual audit?
No. It is a tool. You enter a domain and it runs. Nobody reviews it by hand.
Why $7.89 and not free?
A real crawl costs us money. The price covers it and keeps the queue clear.
Do I need the other tools?
No. Crawl Audit tells you what is wrong; the free generators help you fix it.
What does the free preview on this site show?
A server-side fetch of your homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt, scored against 25 of the signals. The full crawl runs at crawlaudit.devmarde.com.
