AI search fix
WooCommerce not visible in AI search — what to check
When WooCommerce is not visible in AI search, the issue is usually on the WordPress storefront: robots.txt or security plugins block GPTBot-class crawlers, Cloudflare returns 403, or product pages sit behind login or noindex. Fix live robots on the shop domain, allow trusted AI bots, validate Product schema against visible price and stock, and confirm top product URLs return 200 HTML. Unblocking improves eligibility; it does not guarantee AI shopping answers cite your store.
Cart, checkout, and account URLs are often noindex by design — focus GEO on public product, category, and policy pages AI can fetch.
WooCommerce AI visibility checks
- Review production robots.txt for AI bot disallow rules.
- Wordfence and similar: ensure no conflict with intended AI allow policy.
- Cloudflare: skip Bot Fight for trusted AI user-agents.
- Product and category pages: 200 HTML, accurate Product/Offer schema.
- Optional llms.txt linking to flagship products and policies after crawl works.

Frequently asked questions
Should WooCommerce GEO include admin and checkout URLs?
No. Focus on public catalog URLs crawlers can fetch without login.
Does Product schema guarantee AI product recommendations?
No. It improves factual parsing when pages are retrieved; selection varies by query.
Can caching plugins hide bots from logs?
Bots may hit cache or CDN first — check edge logs as well as origin.
