Implementation Steps

1. robots.txt

Shopify Note: Shopify generates its own robots.txt. To customize:
  1. Go to Online Store → Themes → Edit code
  2. Find robots.txt.liquid in Templates
  3. Add the AI crawler rules from our file
Key additions (AI crawlers explicitly allowed):
User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /

User-agent: ClaudeBot
Allow: /

User-agent: PerplexityBot
Allow: /

2. llms.txt and llms-full.txt

These files need to be accessible at root URLs. Options: Option A: Shopify Pages (Recommended)
  1. Create a page with handle llms
  2. Use a plain text template or redirect to a hosted file
Option B: Custom Domain CDN
  1. Host files on Cloudflare/AWS S3
  2. Configure subdomain or path routing
Option C: Theme Assets
  1. Add as asset files in theme
  2. Create routes in theme.liquid

3. Schema.org JSON-LD

Add to theme’s <head> section in theme.liquid:
{% if template contains 'product' %}
<script type="application/ld+json">
  {{ 'schema_product.json' | asset_url | json }}
</script>
{% endif %}

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Anitone",
  ...
}
</script>
Shopify themes often have built-in schema. Check if Trade theme already has Product schema and supplement rather than duplicate.
