Really well-thought-out approach — the llms.txt as "robots.txt for AI" framing makes a lot of sense. The webhook-driven cache invalidation is the detail that makes this actually production-ready vs a toy.

A few complementary angles from the Shopify app side that intersect with GEO:

Product visual consistency — AI engines increasingly parse product images alongside text. Stores with chaotic, mismatched product backgrounds are harder to present meaningfully. Eye Catching (apps.shopify.com/beautiful-brands) standardizes backgrounds and overlays so product grids are coherent, which pairs well with clean structured data.

Blog content coverage — for stores with active blogs, related posts at the end of articles keep readers on-site and build topical depth that AI engines can surface. Better Related Blog Posts (apps.shopify.com/better-related-blog-posts) handles this automatically. And for merchants running WordPress alongside Shopify, WP Simple WordPress Feed (apps.shopify.com/simple-wordpress-post-feed) syncs that RSS content into Shopify so GEO tooling has more to work with in one place.

Navigation speed — perceived store speed also matters for AI agent completion flows. Prefetch (apps.shopify.com/prefetch) preloads pages on hover, which reduces friction when agents traverse product and collection pages.

Full disclosure: I built these apps under Stackedboost. Sharing because your GEO work sits at an interesting intersection with store quality signals that affect AI discoverability.

Thanks,

I agree GEO is broader than just llms.txt and structured data. Once the technical access layer is in place, things like content depth, product presentation consistency, internal linking and navigation speed likely become part of the “AI readiness” layer.

That’s a useful way to think about it, especially for Shopify stores
