The signals that decide if ChatGPT recommends you
Crawler access (OAI-SearchBot)
We check whether ChatGPT's crawler can reach and read your product pages. If your robots.txt blocks OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT cannot see your catalog or recommend you.
Structured product data
We check whether your pages carry complete, accurate Product schema, so ChatGPT can read your price, availability, brand, and key attributes without guessing.
Reviews & third-party trust
ChatGPT leans heavily on outside sources. We assess your reviews and how often credible third parties mention and validate your store.
Price & availability accuracy
We check that your price and stock are current and match across your page and feed, since ChatGPT filters out stale or mismatched products.
