What needs fixing

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

C3 Sitemap freshness Fail
Checked
Glow Recipe/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.
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.
C6 FAQPage / HowTo schema Fail
Checked
Homepage and discoverable FAQ / how-to-use / about pages
Found
No FAQPage or HowTo JSON-LD detected. If your store publishes how-to / routine content, it's currently invisible as structured data.
Fix
Wrap existing FAQ content in FAQPage JSON-LD and any routine / tutorial content in HowTo JSON-LD. These map directly to the "how do I use X" queries AI shopping agents handle. schema.org/FAQPage / HowTo.
C7 Organization schema Fail
Checked
Homepage for Organization JSON-LD
Found
Organization schema missing or incomplete. Missing: name, url, sameAs. sameAs should link to at least 2 social profiles for entity recognition.
Fix
Add (or extend) Organization JSON-LD in the site-wide <head>: name, url, logo, and a sameAs array of verified social-profile URLs. Low risk, high leverage for AI entity recognition.
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. 3/3 sampled PDPs render all three core elements (title, price, description) in raw HTML without JS.
✗ C3 Sitemap freshness. No valid sitemap with recent <lastmod> within 90 days.
✓ C4 Product schema. 3/3 PDPs have complete Product JSON-LD (name, image, brand, offers, identifier).
✗ C5 AggregateRating. 2/3 PDPs carry rating schema. Reviews likely displayed visually but not exposed as structured data on others.
✗ C6 FAQPage / HowTo schema. Not present on homepage or auxiliary help pages.
✗ C7 Organization schema. Missing name, url, sameAs on homepage.
✓ C8 PDP titles. 4/5 sampled titles include use-case specifics (fabric, fit, target audience).
✓ C9 PDP descriptions. 4/5 sampled descriptions address 3+ buyer-context cues (fit, comparison, ingredient rationale, usage, counter-indications).

Fix priority

Ranked by leverage on agent discoverability, highest first.

  1. 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.

  2. Add complete Organization JSON-LD with sameAs

    10-line site-wide <head> addition — name, url, logo, and links to verified social profiles. Low risk, foundational for AI entity recognition.

  3. Wrap FAQ / how-to content in FAQPage or HowTo JSON-LD

    Maps directly to "how do I use X" queries AI shopping agents handle. Lightweight if the FAQ template has Q&A as structured data; heavier if mixed with presentational HTML.

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

Glow Recipe is around the category median — not yet agent-ready, but not structurally behind.

A 5/9 score sits in the middle of premium DTC beauty. Implementing 2-3 targeted fixes would lift this brand into the top tier.
