AI readiness
Make your catalogue readable to AI shopping assistants
Shoppers are starting to ask an assistant instead of typing a query.
A growing share of product discovery happens through assistants that read your site rather than browse it. They need explicit, machine readable facts, and they need permission to fetch the page in the first place. Webshop Vitals measures both, and reports crawler access separately from data quality because they are different problems.
Free scan, no credit card, results in minutes.
AI Commerce Readiness
Example score from a real scan
The problem
Assistants cannot infer what your page implies
A human reads a page and understands that the bold number is the price and the grey text is the old one. A machine needs that stated. Where product facts live only in layout and images, an assistant either guesses or moves on to a competitor whose data is explicit.
- Product facts that exist only inside images
- Robots rules that block AI crawlers without anyone deciding to
- Brand and model that a machine cannot separate from a marketing phrase
- No machine readable shipping, returns or availability information
What we check
Inside the ai commerce readiness
Every check below runs on your real store and reports findings you can act on, with the affected products named.
AI crawler access
Whether Googlebot, OAI-SearchBot and Google-Extended are permitted, each reported separately because each answers a different question.
Entity clarity
Whether brand, product and model are stated explicitly rather than implied by page layout.
Machine readable commerce facts
Price, availability, shipping and returns expressed in data rather than in decoration.
Content accessibility
Whether key product information survives without JavaScript execution.
llms.txt presence
Whether your site publishes a machine readable summary at its root.
Answerability
Whether a page answers the questions a shopper asks an assistant, such as fit, materials and delivery.

0 of 5How it works
Three steps from question to answer
No plugin to install, no code to add, and nothing to change on your store.
- 1
Check access rules
Robots directives are evaluated per crawler, since blocking one does not imply blocking another.
- 2
Read the page as a machine
Facts are extracted the way an assistant would extract them, without human inference.
- 3
Report the gaps
Access findings and data findings stay separate so the right team gets the right task.
The report
What this check looks like in your dashboard
Findings land next to the score they moved and the products they affect, so a result always has somewhere to go next.

Questions
AI Commerce Readiness questions, answered
The things merchants ask before they run their first scan.
No, and the product says so on every screen that shows it. It measures how accessible, structured and understandable your commerce information is to modern search and AI systems. No one outside these companies knows their ranking systems, and any tool claiming otherwise is guessing.
