Ecommerce technical SEO and GEO audit
Check crawl access, rendered content, product markup, merchant facts, and answer-source visibility without collapsing them into one score.
Run this audit when a product or category page has a discovery problem that could involve crawling, rendering, markup, product facts, or citations in AI answers.
Inputs
- Public product or category URL
- Target market and language
- Priority search queries or buying questions
- Competitor set, when relevant
- Platform and merchant-feed context
Output
- Source-and-time inventory
- SEO findings and AI-answer findings in separate sections
- Affected page fields or data sources
- Recommended fixes, ranked by confidence
- Retest plan
Steps
- Record response status, canonical URL, robots rules, indexability, and rendered output.
- Parse product, offer, organization, breadcrumb, and review markup.
- Compare markup with visible content and known catalog values.
- Check missing buyer information, unsupported claims, merchant identity, and source clarity.
- When AI visibility matters, run a fixed set of buying questions.
- Classify findings as technical, content, data, or selection outside the merchant's control.
- Recommend a small change and define the retest.
Checks
- Canonical URL, robots rules, and indexability
ProductandOffermarkup- Product-detail completeness and claim support
- Merchant identity and product consistency
- Citations for the fixed AI question set
- Performance and accessibility issues that block use
Limits
Any customer-facing edit needs approval. Do not add claims merely to make a page look more complete.
Retest
Repeat the relevant page checks and the same AI question set after the change. Record exactly what moved and what did not.
