Meta AI

Meta

Meta AI sits where your customers already are.

Meta AI runs inside Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook — the surfaces many Gulf merchants sell on daily. Nomu checks its crawler directive and audits the content it would read, and does not yet probe it for citations.

Illustrative audit. Your results come from your own store.

Meta AI reaches a store through the Meta-ExternalAgent crawler and operates inside Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook, so store-level clarity matters as much as product pages — though Nomu checks that crawler without yet running citation probes against Meta AI.

How Meta AI discovers and understands products

Inside the apps, not a separate site

Meta AI answers within Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook. For merchants whose customers already message them there, the distance between an answer and a conversation is very short.

Meta-ExternalAgent is the crawler

This is the agent token that governs Meta's AI access to your pages, and it is checked in Nomu's audit alongside the other thirteen.

Store-level facts matter

Questions asked inside a messaging app skew toward store-level concerns — do they ship here, what is the returns window, is this brand legitimate. Those are answered by policy pages, not product copy.

A real question a shopper asks Meta AI

do they deliver to Kuwait and how long does it take

A logistics question, not a product question. It is answered from a shipping page — and it is the single most common thing merchants get messaged about.

Signals that may improve visibility

  • Meta-ExternalAgent permitted in robots.txt
  • Shipping and returns policies stated in plain sentences on a crawlable page
  • An llms.txt describing what the store sells, to whom, and where it ships
  • Consistent brand information between your site and your Instagram and Facebook profiles
  • Product descriptions that answer the questions customers already message you about
  • Complete Product structured data

These improve whether Meta AI can read and verify your products. No tool can guarantee that an assistant recommends you — answers are non-deterministic and no vendor sells placement in them.

What Nomu measures for Meta AI today

Crawler access checkedMeta-ExternalAgent
Citation probesNot yet
Revenue attributionReferrer — high confidence
Site audit applies14 crawlers, schema, content

Nomu checks whether Meta-ExternalAgent is permitted in your robots.txt, and audits the content Meta AI would read. It does not yet probe Meta AI with buying questions, so it reports readiness for this engine rather than measured citations.

What Nomu can detect

The audit runs nightly and reports only what it can prove.

AI crawler blocked in robots.txt

critical

An assistant's crawler is disallowed, so nothing else about the store can matter to it. Binary, and the first thing checked.

No llms.txt or agents.md

medium

No plain-language guide to what the store sells, so the catalogue has to be inferred by crawling.

Product structured data missing or incomplete

high

Price, currency, availability or brand absent, so a hard constraint like "under $30 and in stock" cannot be verified.

Product descriptions too thin to answer a question

high

Descriptions that state a name and a size answer no buyer constraint, so the product is retrievable for nothing.

Titles, meta descriptions or image alt text missing

medium

The fields that tell a crawler what a page and its images are, left empty.

No FAQ or policy page an assistant can quote

medium

Shipping, returns and sizing questions have no answerable page to cite.

Collection pages with no descriptive text

low

Category pages that list products without saying what the category is or who it suits.

What a fix looks like

The same product, rewritten so Meta AI can match it to a question.

Before

Nomu drafts the rewrite from your own product data. Nothing publishes until you approve it, and every change is reversible for 30 days.

Fixes Nomu can generate

Rewrite a product description

Drafts a description built from the attributes buyers filter on — material, fit, use case, care — from your own product data.

Fill in title, meta description and image alt text

Generates the SEO fields a product is missing, per product, for your approval.

Add Product structured data

Emits schema.org Product markup with price, currency, availability and brand populated per variant.

Create an FAQ page

Builds an FAQ from your real policies and the questions your customers actually ask.

Publish llms.txt

Writes a plain-text guide describing what you sell, to whom, and which pages are canonical.

Write a collection description

Describes what is in a category and who it suits, so the collection page can be retrieved.

Tracking improvement over time

Nomu tracks readiness for Meta AI, and says so rather than implying more.

Nomu re-runs the site audit after every change and shows what moved: crawler access, structured-data completeness, description coverage. It does not report Meta AI citations, because it does not measure them.
