How to structure an online store for AI agents
AI agents buy and recommend products by reading structured data, not marketing images. An online store optimized for AI agents clearly exposes price, stock, specifications and reviews, in extractable format. Below are the steps to optimize an online store for AI agents.
Essential steps (short answer)
- Add Product + Offer JSON-LD with price, currency, availability and image.
- Write a clear spec table for each product.
- Show stock and delivery time as text, not just an icon.
- Add a product FAQ with real buyer questions.
- Include aggregate reviews (aggregateRating) in the structured data.
What an AI agent reads
- Price and currency — exact, in text and in JSON-LD.
- Availability (InStock / OutOfStock) — up to date.
- Technical specs — in a table, not in an image.
- Return and delivery policy — clear, extractable text.
Common mistakes
- Price shown only in an image — the AI agent cannot read it.
- Specs in a PDF instead of structured HTML.
- Product schema without offers — Google and AI ignore it.
