GoppaResearchBot

An automated crawler run by Goppa for one purpose: measuring how ready online stores are to be read by AI shopping agents. It is not a scraper for resale, and it does not collect personal data.

What it does

It requests a small number of public pages per store — the home page, a few product pages, and the standard discovery files (/robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, /llms.txt). From those it records whether the store publishes the structured product data that AI assistants need in order to describe, compare and recommend a product correctly.

The results are published only in aggregate. No store is named in a negative context, in any edition of the report, ever.

What it records, and what it does not

Recorded	Never recorded
Presence and completeness of schema.org Product markup Product identifiers (GTIN, SKU, MPN) — present or absent Discovery files and their contents Declared rules for AI crawlers in robots.txt E-commerce platform, market and category	Names, emails, or any personal data Anything behind a login Customer data, orders, or pricing history Content for republication or resale

How it behaves

Public pages only. It never attempts a login and never bypasses a block.
It honours robots.txt. A store that disallows it is skipped and recorded as an exclusion.
Requests are sequential and spaced, one store at a time. It is built to be invisible in your traffic, not to load your server.
It identifies itself honestly in every request, which is why you are reading this page.

How to block it

Add this to your robots.txt:

User-agent: GoppaResearchBot
Disallow: /

It takes effect on the next run, and nothing about your store is measured after that.

How to get your store removed

Write to contact@trygoppa.com with your domain. Your store is dropped from the dataset, and it is dropped whether or not it has already been measured. You do not need to give a reason.

You can have your own results

Any store we measure can have its own report, in full, at no cost — just ask at the address above. We are measuring your store; it seems only fair that you get to see what we found. You can also run it yourself, right now, at trygoppa.com.
