Paste robots.txt into the Google-Extended checker, confirm Googlebot is not blocked, then review Google-Extended, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, and other crawler rules as separate policy decisions.
Include public homepage, collection, product, policy, buying guide, and support URLs, while excluding cart, checkout, account, customer, discount, token, and admin URLs.
