Fix it with Claude Code
Each failed check below has a ready-made prompt tailored to this scan's findings. Run it in Claude Code from your site's repository.
✗robots.txt blocks 5 AI agentsshow prompt
My e-commerce site is ebay.com. Our robots.txt currently disallows these AI agents, which prevents AI assistants from reading, recommending, or buying our products: - GPTBot (OpenAI — ChatGPT training) - ClaudeBot (Anthropic — Claude training) - PerplexityBot (Perplexity — Perplexity / Comet) - CCBot (Common Crawl — Open training data) - Amazonbot (Amazon — Buy For Me) Find where robots.txt is generated or stored in this repository (static file in public/, a robots route/handler, or platform config). The site runs on magento, so prefer that platform's idiomatic way of serving these files/markup (theme templates, app settings, or metafields) over hand-rolled middleware where it exists. Then: 1. Add an explicit "Allow: /" rule for each agent above (keep any existing Disallow rules for genuinely private paths like /cart, /checkout, /account). 2. Do NOT loosen rules for any user-agent we haven't listed, and preserve the existing sitemap reference. 3. Show me a diff of the change and list each agent whose effective access changes from blocked to allowed. 4. If robots.txt is managed by the e-commerce platform rather than this repo, tell me exactly where in the platform's admin to change it instead. Context: this was flagged by ARC Report (arcreport.ai/brand) — verify after deploy by fetching https://ebay.com/robots.txt and checking the rules for each agent listed above.
✗No JSON-LD structured datashow prompt
My e-commerce site is ebay.com. A scan found no JSON-LD structured data at all, so AI shopping agents can't reliably read our product names, prices, availability, or images. The site runs on magento, so prefer that platform's idiomatic way of serving these files/markup (theme templates, app settings, or metafields) over hand-rolled middleware where it exists. In this repository: 1. Find the product page template/component and add a JSON-LD <script type="application/ld+json"> block with Schema.org Product markup: name, description, image, sku, brand, and an Offer with price, priceCurrency, availability (use schema.org/InStock | OutOfStock), and url. Populate every field from our real product data — no placeholders. 2. Add an Organization JSON-LD block to the base layout (name, url, logo) if missing. 3. If we have category/listing pages, add ItemList markup referencing the product URLs. 4. Show me one fully rendered example of the JSON-LD for a real product, then validate the shape against Google's Rich Results requirements for Product and fix any warnings you can detect statically. Verify after deploy with https://search.google.com/test/rich-results on a product URL.
✗No sitemap.xmlshow prompt
My e-commerce site is ebay.com. A scan could not find a sitemap.xml, so crawlers and AI agents have no reliable way to discover our product pages. The site runs on magento, so prefer that platform's idiomatic way of serving these files/markup (theme templates, app settings, or metafields) over hand-rolled middleware where it exists.
In this repository:
1. Generate a sitemap.xml covering the homepage, category pages, and every product page, with <lastmod> from each product's updated-at where available.
2. If the catalog is large, split into a sitemap index with child sitemaps of ≤50,000 URLs.
3. Reference the sitemap from robots.txt ("Sitemap: https://ebay.com/sitemap.xml").
4. Make it regenerate automatically (build step or on-demand route) rather than a one-off static file, and show me the diff.✗No llms.txtshow prompt
My e-commerce site is ebay.com. We don't publish an llms.txt file yet — the emerging convention (llmstxt.org) that gives language models a concise, curated guide to a site. In this repository: 1. Create /llms.txt (served at https://ebay.com/llms.txt as text/plain or text/markdown) following the llms.txt format: - H1 with our brand name, - a one-paragraph blockquote summary of what we sell and who we serve, - sections linking to our most useful pages for an AI agent: bestsellers/category pages, shipping & returns policy, size guides, FAQ/support, and store locator if any. 2. Write the summary from this repository's real content (README, about page, homepage copy) — keep it factual, no marketing superlatives. 3. Keep it under ~200 lines, every link absolute. 4. Show me the full file content and where you wired it to be served. Verify after deploy: curl https://ebay.com/llms.txt
