AgentShelf — agentic storefront audit

Your next customer is a robot. Can it buy from you?

On Oct 13, Shopify opened every store to any AI shopping agent. Agents don't browse — they read your product data, your agents.md, your policies, and your compare-at prices, then decide. AgentShelf audits your store the way an agent reads it, scores it out of 100, and writes the fixes. In 72 hours.

Agent-readiness scorecard

The 9 checks an agent runs on your store

Answer for your store — or run the real checker against your live store below. Same 9 checks, same points, same verdicts as the paid audit.

AGENT-INVISIBLE / HIGH RISK

Tap each compartment to answer for your store.

We read public endpoints only — no logins, no credential access. The self-check is a self-report; the paid audit verifies every finding against your live store and adds the product-language review. Without a readable catalog the engine can only score checks 1–5 (56 of 100 points).

The problem

Agents read the shelf, not the storefront

Product data is now the storefront; agents never see your hero banner. This is where they stall.

65% of stores give agents no variant labels

65% of stores with dropdowns give agents no machine-readable variant labels (DigiMirror, 122-store audit).

83 of 89 agents.md files are the stock template

83 of 89 agents.md files are the stock Shopify template — your store sounds like everyone else's to an agent.

Compare-at prices are now public claims

Since Oct 9, agents repeat your compare-at prices to shoppers. A wrong one is now a public pricing claim.

GEO dashboards don't fix the catalog layer

GEO dashboards ($95–$599/mo) tell you how ChatGPT talks about brands. None of them fix the catalog layer where an agent stalls before the buy button.

What you get

Every Audit, in full

9-point machine check: agents.md specificity, llms.txt, UCP discovery, robots.txt AI-agent access, machine-readable catalog, title clarity, description substance, variant pricing + compare-at traps, variant labels

Product-language review on your top 10 products (the layer Shopify's free audit skips)

Evidence for every finding — the exact URL/response an agent saw

Fixes ranked by impact/effort, in plain language

Honest limits: we never guarantee agent recommendations or sales — nobody can

How it works

From store URL to scored report

1

Send your store URL

We run the AgentShelf checker (the same public endpoints an agent uses) + a human-grade product-language review.

2

Scored report in 72 hours

Your score, every failed check with evidence, and fixes ranked by impact.

3

Fix Pack writes the fixes

Merchant-specific agents.md, llms.txt, rewritten titles/descriptions for your top products, variant labels, FAQ + shipping/returns in agent-readable plain text — paste-ready, nothing changed on your store without you.

The method

The 9 checks, line by line

The scored report is a document, not a dashboard: every check, its points, and the exact evidence an agent saw.

Honest scope

What AgentShelf does not do

We read public endpoints only. We never guarantee agent recommendations or sales — nobody can.

We never take store credentials and never change your store directly. We do not guarantee agent placement, traffic, or sales. The template detection in check 1 is a length heuristic; WooCommerce and Etsy audits use a labeled manual fallback — same scorecard, never presented as endpoint-verified.
