What needs fixing

The top 9-criterion grid shows all checks. Detail below covers only items that need action.

C2 PDP server-side render Fail

Checked: 3 sampled PDPs via raw HTML fetch
Found: 1 of 3 PDPs don't render all core fields in raw HTML. Missing: title. Examples: dedcool-x-calpak-taunt-air-freshener.
Fix: Audit the product-template rendering path to confirm title/price/description appear in raw HTML without JS. Agents cannot execute JavaScript on merchant sites.

C3 Sitemap freshness Fail

Checked: Dedcool/sitemap.xml
Found: Sitemap missing, invalid XML, or has no <lastmod> timestamp within the past 90 days.
Fix: Generate a valid sitemap that includes product URLs with accurate <lastmod> timestamps, and keep it current. Shopify emits this automatically for standard themes.

C4 Product schema Fail

Checked: 3 sampled PDPs — raw HTML via source-level fetch
Found: Only 2/3 PDPs ship complete Product JSON-LD with all commonly-recommended fields (name, image, brand, offers.price, offers.availability, and an identifier).
Fix: Ensure every PDP template emits Product JSON-LD with the Google rich-results minimum fields. See Google's product structured-data docs.

C5 AggregateRating Fail

Checked: 3 sampled PDPs — Review / AggregateRating schema
Found: 2/3 PDPs expose rating data as JSON-LD with real ratingValue and reviewCount. Others likely display reviews visually but don't emit structured data — typically a widget toggle that hasn't been enabled.
Fix: Enable review-schema output in your review plugin (Yotpo, Judge.me, Okendo, etc.) — often a single setting. See schema.org/AggregateRating.

C8 PDP titles Fail

Checked: 5 PDP titles sampled from the sitemap
Found: Only 3/5 titles include specific use-case, target audience, or differentiator cues. Examples: "Lip Balm BYO Trio", "DedCool x OUAI Melrose Place Dedtergent Refill".
Fix: Expand generic titles ("Brand Name Face Cream") with specific differentiators ("Retinol Alternative Night Serum for Sensitive Skin"). Titles match the natural-language shopper queries AI agents parse.

C9 Description depth Fail

Checked: 5 sampled PDPs — full description text
Found: 1/5 descriptions cover 3+ of: target skin/fit type, comparison to similar products, ingredient/material rationale, sizing reasoning, usage guidance, counter-indications. Most are spec-heavy with limited buyer context.
Caveat: Evaluation via rendered-response text. Descriptions may include buyer-context content in expandable sections or tabs that weren't surfaced.
Fix: Add a structured "Why you'll love it" block to every PDP — who it's for, how it compares, when to use, what it isn't for. At catalog scale this is a content pipeline (LLM-assisted generation from existing spec sheets is plausible).

View complete check log (all 9 criteria)

✓ C1 AI crawler access. robots.txt allows all 8 tested bots (GPTBot / PerplexityBot / ClaudeBot / anthropic-ai / Google-Extended / Amazonbot / CCBot / FacebookBot).

✗ C2 PDP server-side render. 2/3 sampled PDPs return complete product data without JS. Others missing one or more of title/price/description.

✗ C3 Sitemap freshness. No valid sitemap with recent <lastmod> within 90 days.

✗ C4 Product schema. 2/3 PDPs ship complete Product JSON-LD. Others missing required fields or the block entirely.

✗ C5 AggregateRating. 2/3 PDPs carry rating schema. Reviews likely displayed visually but not exposed as structured data on others.

✓ C6 FAQPage / HowTo schema. Found on 1 page(s) — homepage or help/how-to surface.

✓ C7 Organization schema. Homepage ships Organization JSON-LD with name, url, and sameAs (3 profiles).

✗ C8 PDP titles. 3/5 sampled titles go beyond brand + generic category.

✗ C9 PDP descriptions. 1/5 sampled descriptions cover 3+ buyer-context cues. Others are spec-heavy with limited context.

Fix priority

Ranked by leverage on agent discoverability, highest first.

Ship complete Product JSON-LD on every PDP
Highest-leverage structured-data change. Ensures AI agents can extract name, price, availability, and identifiers cleanly. Lightweight if product data already exists server-side.
Enable AggregateRating output in your review plugin
Usually a single setting in Yotpo / Judge.me / Okendo that exposes existing review data as JSON-LD. Reviews already live on the site — this just makes them machine-readable.
Expand PDP descriptions with buyer-context cues
Who it's for, how it compares, when to use, what it isn't. The largest content project but touches every product, so compounds across the catalog. LLM-assisted generation from existing spec sheets is viable.

Implementing the top fixes would move this brand materially upward on this framework. Final score depends on implementation quality and broader content improvements.

The real story

Dedcool has foundational gaps that limit agent visibility.

A 3/9 score means multiple layers need attention. Prioritize structured-data basics (C2, C3, C4) before content-level work.
