Webkoding Product Schema and Crawl Audit for WooCommerce

Description

Open one of your WooCommerce product pages and view the source. Search it for "@type":"Product".

On a clean WooCommerce install — the current release, WooCommerce’s own Storefront theme, no other plugins — you will not find it. The page publishes a BreadcrumbList and nothing else. No Product. No price. No availability. No identifier.

To ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s shopping results, that page is not a product. It is text.

This is not an opinion. It is reproducible in two minutes

WooCommerce generates the data correctly — calling its generator by hand returns a complete Product node. But that generator is attached to the woocommerce_single_product_summary hook, and WooCommerce now renders product pages from its own block template, which never fires that hook. The data is built for an event that no longer happens, so nothing is ever queued for output.

The breadcrumb survives because it is generated somewhere else.

Nobody opted into this, and nothing in the admin tells you. It was verified on two independent clean installs, on two different WooCommerce versions, before a line of this plugin was written. Please verify it on your own store rather than taking our word for it — the instructions are in the first paragraph.

What this plugin does

• Restores the missing Product structured data on every product page: name, price, currency, availability, SKU, image, brand and GTIN.
• Audits your store and scores it, with a plain list of what agents cannot see and why.
• Unblocks the AI crawlers in robots.txt — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and others.
• Publishes /llms.txt, the brief an assistant reads before deciding whether your store is worth crawling.

It does not blindly inject a second Product node. It first checks whether Product schema already reaches the page — including from an SEO plugin — and stays silent if it does. Two conflicting Product nodes are worse for you than one missing.

No account, no subscription, no third party

Everything runs inside your own WordPress. This plugin contacts no external service and sends your catalogue nowhere.

It makes exactly one network request, and it is to your own site: it fetches one of your own product pages over HTTP to see what a crawler would actually find there. Asking WooCommerce whether it would generate the data is a different question from whether the data reaches the page, and only the second one matters.

The paid add-on

A separate, paid add-on adds bulk barcode and brand editing, CSV import, an agent-readable product feed, and reporting on which AI crawlers really visited your store.

It is not required, and this plugin is not a trial. Everything described above works permanently and for free. Your score is calculated only from the checks you actually have, so a store running just this plugin can reach 100 — you are never marked down for declining to buy anything.
