No order data and no backend content is touched."},{"question":"Why do you need my email address?","answer":"You see the audit highlights instantly, without signup. For the full report with all detailed findings, recommendations and a short take from our team we need your email – so we can follow up with concrete suggestions."},{"question":"Does the audit work for Shopware 5 too?","answer":"Yes. We detect Shopware 5 setups via typical paths like /themes/Frontend/Responsive/ and /web/cache/. If your shop still runs on Shopware 5, migration is urgent (support ended July 2024) – we're happy to build you a concrete migration plan."},{"question":"What happens to my data?","answer":"We only use the shop URL you enter for the one-off check. Only when you unlock the full report do we store your email and audit results in our CRM so we can reach out specifically. See privacy policy for details."},{"question":"How is the audit different from the AI Visibility Check?","answer":"The AI Visibility Check focuses on LLM crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) and llms.txt. The Shopware audit specifically checks Shopware setup, performance, security headers, schema and shop-relevant topics. Both checks complement each other – if you want to be found in Google and ChatGPT, run both."},{"question":"Can I act on the audit report without consulting?","answer":"Yes. Every finding includes a short explanation of what was checked and why it matters. You can forward the recommendations directly to your internal IT or existing agency. If you want, we'll implement it ourselves – as Shopware Silver Partner with a senior-heavy team."}],"checks":{"detection_isShopware":"Shopware detected ({signals})","detection_isShopware_info":"We found typical Shopware signatures in the HTML or headers – e.g. /bundles/storefront/, sw-context-token or the X-Shopware header.

Enable Shopware HTTP caching with Varnish, audit plugin performance and use Redis as cache adapter. Maxcluster offers that as a service.","perf_ttfbSlow":"TTFB + download: {ms} ms – critical","perf_ttfbSlow_info":"Over 2 seconds means unstable conversion under peak load.

A manageable shop based on Shopware typically starts in the low five-figure range, while complex B2B or headless projects with ERP and PIM interfaces sit above that. On top come running costs for hosting, licenses and maintenance as a separate line item. You get a concrete fixed-price offer after a short discovery in which we clarify requirements, interfaces and data volumes."},{"question":"How long until my shop goes live?","answer":"A clearly scoped shop usually takes from a few weeks to a few months. The range is wide because it depends on the number of interfaces, the complexity of your assortment and the data migration. We work in iterations: you see a working state early and give feedback, rather than only seeing the finished result at the end."},{"question":"Which shop system do you recommend – Shopware, headless or something else?","answer":"Our focus is Shopware, because as an open-source system it is powerful, extensible and well established in the German mid-market. We recommend headless architectures (Shopware as backend, your own frontend) when you need maximum frontend freedom or special performance. We make the decision based on your requirements, not on principle – a simple shop doesn't need a headless setup."},{"question":"Can you migrate my existing shop?","answer":"Yes. We migrate existing shops including product data, customers, order history and URL structure. The URLs and redirects in particular are crucial so your SEO rankings don't collapse during the move. Before migrating we analyze your current shop and plan the move so ongoing operations are disrupted as little as possible."},{"question":"Do you support B2B, B2C and D2C equally?","answer":"Yes. In B2C, conversion, speed and a frictionless checkout matter most. In B2B, requirements such as customer-specific price lists, tiered pricing, order approvals, quotation features and ERP integration come into play. We support D2C brands from brand staging to the logistics interface. We build the shop around your business model, not the other way round."},{"question":"How do you ensure performance and scalability?","answer":"Performance isn't an afterthought for us but part of the architecture. We optimize for good Core Web Vitals, use caching, a CDN and clean database indexes, and test behavior under load. That keeps your shop fast and stable even during load peaks such as sales campaigns or Black Friday."},{"question":"What about data protection, security and payment processing?","answer":"We build shops GDPR-compliant and integrate payments via certified payment providers, so no sensitive card data sits on your server. Updates, secure configuration and a roles-and-permissions concept are standard for us. In e-commerce, security isn't an optional add-on but a prerequisite for trust and conversion."},{"question":"Who owns the shop – does vendor lock-in arise?","answer":"You own everything: code, configuration, data and content. Because we build on open-source technology like Shopware, you're not tied to proprietary systems and could in principle hand operations to another team. We document cleanly – vendor lock-in is not our business model."}]},"appEntwicklung":{"metaTitle":"App Development Agency | iOS, Android & Cross-Platform","metaOg":"App Development","metaDescription":"App development with nextlevels: native and cross-platform apps for iOS and Android with focus on UX, performance and scalable architecture.","metaShort":"Native and cross-platform apps with focus on UX and performance.","breadcrumb":"App Development","stageEyebrow":"App Development · React Native · Cross-Platform · PWA","stageHeadline1":"APPS","stageHeadline2":"USERS LOVE","stageDescription":"Mobile applications that excite and connect.

A no-obligation conversation is always a great start.","faqHeadline":"App development – frequently asked questions","faq":[{"question":"What does developing an app cost?","answer":"A first production-ready app (MVP) with a clearly scoped feature set typically starts in the low five-figure range. Scope, platforms (iOS, Android or both), backend requirements and integrations drive the price. On top come running costs for operations, store fees and maintenance. You get a concrete offer after a discovery in which we sharpen the feature set and target audience."},{"question":"How long does it take to develop an app?","answer":"An MVP usually takes from a few weeks to a few months. We recommend starting with a clearly focused feature set, releasing early and evolving based on real user data, rather than trying to build every feature from the start."},{"question":"Native or cross-platform – what do you recommend?","answer":"For most projects cross-platform (e.g. with React Native or Flutter) is the most economical choice: one codebase for iOS and Android, faster development, lower maintenance. Native development is worth it for very hardware-close requirements or maximum performance demands. We decide based on your requirements, not on technical preference."},{"question":"Do you develop for iOS, Android or both?","answer":"Both. As a rule we serve iOS and Android simultaneously from one cross-platform codebase. If your market clearly sits on one platform, it can make sense to start there and expand later – we'll discuss that honestly too."},{"question":"Do you handle publishing to the App Store and Play Store?","answer":"Yes. We handle publishing to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store including the store listing, review process and the stores' technical requirements. The developer accounts run under your name, so you always keep sovereignty over your app."},{"question":"What happens after launch – do you offer maintenance and updates?","answer":"An app is never 'finished'. Operating systems, devices and stores change constantly, and users expect ongoing improvement. We offer maintenance, monitoring and further development so your app stays compatible, secure and up to date – at the scope that fits your project."},{"question":"Who owns the source code?","answer":"You do. Code, designs and accounts belong to you. We document the project so another team could take over. Vendor lock-in is not our business model but a risk we actively avoid."},{"question":"How do you ensure quality and security?","answer":"Quality assurance and testing are an integral part of our process, not a step at the end. We test on real devices, pay attention to data protection and secure data transfer, and set up processes so bugs surface early. That way your app goes live stable and stays that way."}]},"enterpriseSoftware":{"metaTitle":"Enterprise Software & Automation","metaOg":"Enterprise Digitalisation – Enterprise Software","metaDescription":"Digitalisation for companies: custom software, process automation and system integration.

A clearly scoped first project typically starts in the low to mid five-figure range; larger platforms with many integrations sit above that. We recommend starting with a focused first build that delivers value quickly, rather than building everything at once. You get a concrete offer after the requirements analysis."},{"question":"Custom development or off-the-shelf software – which is better?","answer":"Off-the-shelf software is often the right choice when your process is common – it's cheaper and immediately available. Custom software is worth it where your process is your competitive advantage and standard solutions would force you into foreign workflows. We tell you honestly when a standard solution suffices, rather than selling you an expensive custom build."},{"question":"How long does an enterprise software project take?","answer":"It depends on scope and integration depth. We usually reach a first production-ready state within a few months. We work iteratively and deliver usable partial results early, so you see value and can steer before the overall system is finished."},{"question":"Can you integrate with existing systems like ERP and CRM?","answer":"Yes, that's one of our focus areas. We connect existing ERP, CRM, inventory and third-party systems via APIs and interfaces so data doesn't have to be maintained twice. A clean integration is often the real lever: it joins isolated solutions into one end-to-end process."},{"question":"Which technologies do you use?","answer":"We rely on established, future-proof technologies and choose the stack per project by requirement, not by fashion. We prefer open standards and well-documented frameworks so your software stays maintainable and doesn't depend on a single niche technology."},{"question":"How do you ensure maintainability and scalability?","answer":"Through clean architecture, documentation, automated tests and clear interfaces. We build software so it can grow with your company and still be extensible years from now – not as a throwaway product but as a foundation."},{"question":"Who owns the software – does vendor lock-in arise?","answer":"You own everything: source code, data and documentation. We deliberately build so another team could take over, and we avoid proprietary dependencies. Vendor lock-in is not our business model but a risk we actively rule out."},{"question":"How do support and maintenance work after go-live?","answer":"Go-live is the start of operations, not the end.

Ongoing management – for example SEO, performance campaigns or social media – typically sits at a low four-figure monthly amount, depending on scope and competition. Media budget (e.g. for Google or Meta Ads) comes separately. We make the effort transparent and tailor the package to your goal, rather than selling you rigid packages."},{"question":"When will I see first results?","answer":"That differs by channel. Performance marketing (paid ads) delivers data and first conversions within days to weeks. SEO is a medium- to long-term lever and usually shows its effect over months – but more sustainably. We tell you honestly which mix fits your time horizon."},{"question":"SEO or performance marketing – which is worth it for me?","answer":"Both have their role. Paid ads bring predictable traffic quickly but cost per click and stop the moment the budget ends. SEO builds long-term visibility that brings you reach even without ongoing media budget. In practice we combine both: paid for quick results, SEO for sustainable growth."},{"question":"Do you also offer GEO / AI visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity & co.?","answer":"Yes. More and more people research via AI assistants instead of classic search. We optimize your content and structured markup so AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews capture and cite you correctly – as an extension of classic SEO, not a replacement."},{"question":"How do you measure the success of your efforts?","answer":"We define the KPIs upfront together with you – for example leads, revenue, cost per acquisition, visibility or conversion rate. Through clean tracking and analytics we make the impact transparent and optimize data-driven. Marketing without measurement is, to us, burning money."},{"question":"How is the ad budget billed?","answer":"Transparently. You pay the media budget directly to the platforms (e.g. Google, Meta) or we lay it out openly – it is clearly separated from the fee. You always see what goes into media and what into management. We don't put hidden margins on your ad budget."},{"question":"Is there a minimum contract term?","answer":"We focus on results rather than long lock-in contracts. SEO and content in particular need a certain lead time for the work to pay off – we discuss that horizon openly. We shape the concrete collaboration as flexibly as fits your project."},{"question":"Who owns the accounts, data and content?","answer":"You do. Ad accounts, analytics, data and created content run under your name and belong to you. You keep access at all times – even if the collaboration should ever end.

A first use-case put into production – a chatbot with RAG, a voice agent or an automation – starts in the low to mid five-figure range, depending on integration depth and data connectivity. On top of that come running costs: the API/token costs of the LLMs you use (OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) plus operations and monitoring as a separate line item. You get a concrete fixed-price offer after discovery."},{"question":"How quickly can you start and how long does an AI project take?","answer":"We can usually schedule an initial call within a few business days. A clearly scoped use-case – for example a chatbot with RAG on your documents – we deliver as a proof of concept in two to four weeks, so you see early whether the solution holds up. The path to stable production depends on integration depth: a plain API connection is fast, while a deep integration into ERP, CRM or your phone system including guardrails and monitoring takes correspondingly longer."},{"question":"Which services does AI consulting include?","answer":"We cover six areas from a single source: process analysis & AI strategy (where does AI actually pay off), AI chatbots & digital assistants, voice AI & phone automation, AI interfaces & system integration into your existing systems, AI workshops & team enablement, and process automation & AI workflows. We deliberately start small: first the measurable use-case, then the rollout. You're not sold a toolbox – you get a solution to a concrete problem."},{"question":"Is using AI GDPR-compliant? Where does my data run?","answer":"Yes, with the right architecture. For sensitive data we use EU hosting options such as Azure OpenAI in EU regions, AWS Bedrock EU or self-hosted open-source models like Llama and Mistral on-prem. We sign a data processing agreement (DPA/AVV), and with correct configuration your data is not used to train the models; where it makes sense, we pseudonymise. The trade-off is honest: a US API is fast and cheap, while EU or self-hosted setups give you data sovereignty at higher effort. Which path fits we decide based on your data classification."},{"question":"Your own model or a ready-made API – which is better?","answer":"For most projects a managed API (GPT, Claude, Gemini) is the right choice: best quality, fastest time-to-market, no infrastructure overhead. A self-hosted model like Llama or Mistral is worth it when strict data-protection requirements demand it, or when at high, sustained volume the token costs justify running your own hardware. We make that call during discovery based on your numbers – not in the sales meeting and not on principle."},{"question":"Do I even need AI – or is classic automation enough?","answer":"Not every problem needs an LLM. Rule-based automation with n8n or classic workflows is often cheaper, deterministic and easier to maintain – and that's exactly what we recommend when your process has clear rules. AI plays to its strengths where unstructured language, documents, classification or real variability are involved. We tell you honestly when the deterministic path is the better one, rather than selling you a language model you don't need."},{"question":"Which AI model do you use – RAG or fine-tuning?","answer":"We are model-agnostic and work with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama and Mistral – we choose per use-case by quality, cost, latency and data protection. For current company knowledge we use RAG: retrieval over your data via a vector database, so the model answers with your real content. We only use fine-tuning when RAG hits its limits – honestly, RAG covers the vast majority of needs and is far cheaper to maintain."},{"question":"Who owns the solution – does vendor lock-in arise?","answer":"You own everything: the code, the prompts, the configurations and your data. We document the solution so another team could take over, and we deliberately build the architecture model-agnostic – you can switch the provider, from GPT to Claude or to a self-hosted model, without rebuilding the whole solution. Vendor lock-in is not our business model but a risk we actively avoid."},{"question":"How do you measure success – is it even worth it?","answer":"We define the KPIs upfront together with you: hours saved, response times, conversion rate, ticket-deflection rate – depending on the use-case. Instead of a big-bang we start with a measurable use-case where the value can be cleanly proven before we scale up. And we stay honest: if a case doesn't add up after the analysis, we say so – better no project than one that misses your expectations."}],"depthBlock":{"headline":"AI in practice: make-or-buy, data protection and the right architecture","lead":"Not every process needs a language model.

After that, cost-per-conversion typically stabilizes — though the exact timeline depends on the product, market, and budget."},{"question":"Can you take over existing campaigns, or only start from scratch?","answer":"Both. With existing accounts, we start with a comprehensive audit to identify weaknesses and opportunities. Existing structures can often be made significantly more efficient without rebuilding from the ground up."},{"question":"How do you measure the success of a performance marketing campaign?","answer":"The primary metrics are cost per acquisition (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), and conversion rate — always tied to your actual business goals. We set up valid conversion tracking from the start and report on performance at regular intervals with full transparency."},{"question":"Do you also work with smaller e-commerce shops?","answer":"Yes.

The fundamentals overlap heavily: clean tech, clear structure and credible content benefit both channels."},{"question":"Is GEO worth it yet, or is it future music?","answer":"It's already worth it. A growing share of searches is answered by AI systems, and whoever shows up there as a source gains visibility before competitors catch up. The effort is manageable because GEO builds on the same foundation as good SEO – it complements rather than replaces it."},{"question":"How long until SEO measures show results?","answer":"Technical fixes and on-page optimizations can take effect within a few weeks. For significant ranking improvements on competitive keywords we realistically expect three to six months of consistent work. In return the effect is sustainable and independent of ad budgets."},{"question":"Does SEO/GEO make sense for my online shop?","answer":"Definitely. Category and product pages can be optimized for transactional keywords, and a well-built blog brings informational traffic and builds authority. That very depth is also what AI systems prefer as a citable source."},{"question":"What's the difference between on-page and technical SEO?","answer":"On-page SEO refers to content, structure and linking within your pages – everything a user sees and search engines value as relevant content.

We also implement Matomo, Plausible, or other privacy-friendly alternatives — particularly relevant for companies with strict GDPR requirements. What matters most is that tracking is complete and valid."},{"question":"How much traffic do I need for A/B tests to be meaningful?","answer":"As a rule of thumb, statistically reliable A/B tests need at least 500–1,000 conversions per variant per test. With lower traffic volumes, we focus on direct UX improvements and heatmap analysis rather than classical A/B testing."},{"question":"Do you only optimize the website, or the shop checkout process as well?","answer":"Both. The checkout is often the most critical funnel step — small changes here have the largest impact. We analyze abandonment points, test multi-step versus single-page checkout flows, and optimize trust signals like reviews and payment options."},{"question":"How long does a typical CRO engagement last?","answer":"CRO is not a one-off project — it's an ongoing process.

Our team holds Shopware certifications for development, architecture and storefront. We confirm the partner status transparently in every sales conversation – including project references you can verify directly with contacts on the client side."},{"question":"What does a Shopware project at nextlevels cost?","answer":"A Shopware 6 project typically starts in the low five-figure range for standard setups (around €15,000–€20,000) and scales into the six-figure range for B2B, multi-tenant and enterprise projects, depending on migration scope, ERP/PIM integration and custom-plugin volume. You receive a concrete fixed-price offer after the discovery workshop – including risk assessment, phase plan and a clear definition of what is included in the price and what is treated as a change request."},{"question":"How quickly can you start?","answer":"Initial call typically within three business days, discovery workshop two to four weeks after the initial call, and project start four to eight weeks after contract signature – depending on complexity and our current capacity. For urgent migrations or cutovers under time pressure (e.g. Black Friday prep) we deliberately reserve capacity and can start significantly faster when the scope is clear."},{"question":"Who owns the code after the project ends?","answer":"You. Fully. We deliver cleanly documented code with Git history, architecture decision records and a README that lets the next agency onboard in under a week. You can switch agencies at any time without losing code or running into licence disputes – vendor lock-in is not our business model."},{"question":"Which Shopware services does nextlevels offer?","answer":"nextlevels GmbH offers the full Shopware service portfolio: online shop development with Twig themes or headless, migrations from Shopware 5, OXID, Magento or custom shops, custom plugin engineering for Rule Builder and Flow Builder, ERP integrations to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or Sage, PIM integrations with Akeneo and Pimcore, performance optimisation at Core-Web-Vitals level and second-level support with clearly defined SLAs."},{"question":"Where are nextlevels' Shopware locations?","answer":"nextlevels GmbH operates two locations in North Rhine-Westphalia: headquarters in Mönchengladbach (Konrad-Zuse-Ring 12) and a branch in Düsseldorf (Lorettostraße 54). Both teams build Shopware projects for clients across the DACH region – with short paths for workshops, architecture reviews and on-site meetings when a project needs them."},{"question":"Which regions does nextlevels serve as a Shopware agency?","answer":"From our offices in Mönchengladbach and Düsseldorf we support Shopware projects across North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) – including Düsseldorf, Cologne, Willich, Bergisch Gladbach and the Rhineland – as well as nationwide in Koblenz, the Westerwald region, Potsdam and the wider DACH area. We work remote-first with clear milestones, running workshops and architecture reviews on-site when a project needs them."},{"question":"Which Shopware versions does nextlevels support?","answer":"nextlevels supports all current Shopware 6 versions including the Commercial Editions Rise, Evolve and Beyond as well as migrations from Shopware 5. Storefront, headless setups and custom plugin development are equally covered. For existing Shopware 5 shops we offer a technical audit that quantifies the realistic migration effort in days rather than in marketing promises."},{"question":"Does nextlevels offer Shopware for B2B shops?","answer":"Yes. nextlevels GmbH builds B2B Shopware shops with Rule Builder, Flow Builder, customer-specific pricing, tiered pricing, approval workflows, punch-out integration, ERP integration and multi-tenant setups. We also deliver complex B2X scenarios (B2C and B2B in one system with separate assortments and prices) in production – including integration with buyer portals of large industrial purchasers."},{"question":"Do you also do hosting?","answer":"No, we are not a hoster – and that's a deliberate choice. We recommend and look after hosting with our partners such as Maxcluster (Shopware-specialised, Gold Partner) and on Hetzner for custom setups with Kubernetes or Docker Swarm. We build the operations layer with you so that monitoring, deployments and backups are cleanly separated between hoster and application."},{"question":"Shopware 5 or Shopware 6 – what still makes sense today?","answer":"Shopware 5 is end-of-life and shipped without active security support. New projects start exclusively on Shopware 6, and we plan existing Shopware 5 shops into a targeted Shopware 6 migration – whenever possible combined with an architectural modernisation, because a 1:1 lift rarely captures the full value of the new platform. If you're still on Shopware 5, our audit helps you plan the time window and phases cleanly."},{"question":"How long does a typical Shopware project take?","answer":"A standard Shopware 6 setup with theme adjustments, standard plugins and a light ERP integration typically lands between three and four months from discovery to go-live. B2B projects with custom logic, complex ERP/PIM integration and a headless frontend tend to sit in a corridor of six to twelve months. We work in two-week sprints, so you see working code after every sprint – no big-bang at the end."},{"question":"Headless or classic Shopware storefront?","answer":"Classic storefronts with a Twig theme are the better choice in roughly 80% of projects: faster delivery, less infrastructure, full feature set out of the box. Headless makes sense when you want to run multiple frontends (web, app, marketplace, kiosk) against the same shop, when your frontend team is committed to React or Vue, or when special performance and SEO requirements justify a custom frontend. We make that decision with you during discovery, not in the sales meeting."},{"question":"How exactly does the Shopware audit work?","answer":"Our Shopware audit is a structured technical inventory: we review the plugin landscape, performance metrics, Core Web Vitals, SEO substance, data integrity, hosting setup and critical interfaces. You receive a written report with concrete findings, prioritised recommendations and an honest effort estimate – even if the conclusion is that you don't have to do anything right now."}]},"cityLanding":{"headline":"Shopware Agency {city}","headlinePrefix":"Shopware Agency","requestProject":"Request project","shopwareReferences":"Shopware references","partnerBadgeAlt":"Shopware {level} Partner – nextlevels GmbH {city}","servicesHeadline1":"Services","servicesHeadline2":"on site","services":[{"label":"Shopware 6 online shops","text":"Storefront, headless and custom plugins for B2C, B2B and D2C."},{"label":"Migrations","text":"from Shopware 5, OXID, Hybris or custom solutions with validated data takeover."},{"label":"SAP, ERP and PIM integrations","text":"including monitoring and stable release pipelines."},{"label":"Performance & SEO","text":"Core Web Vitals, structured data and conversion-oriented UX."},{"label":"Support & SLAs","text":"with fixed release rhythms and second-level support for your Shopware shop"}],"locationTitle":"Location {city}","openingHours":"Mon–Fri 09:00–18:00","referenceTitle":"Shopware references","faqHeadline":"Shopware Agency {city} – frequently asked questions"},"nextcmsPim":{"meta":{"title":"NextCMS PIM | Product Data for E-Commerce","description":"PIM system for e-commerce: a single interface, DeepL translation, powerful search, workflows and ERP integration.

Classic SEO optimises for Google rankings; LLM optimisation optimises for AI citations. The levers overlap (clean HTML, schema, speed) but the bots, the signals (llms.txt, entity linking, FAQPage schema) and the success metrics are their own thing."},{"question":"Why is LLM visibility especially important for online shops?","answer":"More and more shoppers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity instead of Google for product research. If you're not quoted or linked in those answers, you lose qualified traffic — even with strong Google rankings. Shops need server-rendered product data, Product and Offer schema, and they have to make sure AI bots aren't blocked at the WAF."},{"question":"Which AI crawlers should I know about?","answer":"The most important ones: GPTBot (OpenAI training), OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User (ChatGPT search/browse), ClaudeBot and Claude-Web (Anthropic), PerplexityBot and Perplexity-User (Perplexity), Google-Extended (Gemini training opt-out), Applebot-Extended (Apple Intelligence), CCBot (Common Crawl, feeds many LLMs) and Bytespider (ByteDance/Doubao). Our check inspects all of them in robots.txt and simulates the most important ones."},{"question":"What is llms.txt and do I need it?","answer":"llms.txt is a proposed convention (llmstxt.org): a Markdown file at /llms.txt that tells AI crawlers a curated list of your most important URLs — similar to sitemap.xml for Google. It's not yet an official standard, but Perplexity, Anthropic and several research agents already read it. Effort is minimal; upside is clear."},{"question":"Why do AI bots sometimes get different content than browsers?","answer":"Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode, ModSecurity, fail2ban, Varnish rules, Shopware plugins and nginx user-agent filters often block AI bots wholesale. Some setups respond with a captcha page, an empty fallback HTML or status 403. Browsers never see this — AI bots do. That's exactly the gap our bot-blocker check exposes."},{"question":"Which Schema.org types matter most for AI?","answer":"Mandatory: Organization (who you are), WebSite (sitelinks search) and — if local — LocalBusiness or ProfessionalService. Strongly recommended: BreadcrumbList (hierarchy), FAQPage (voice/AI answers), Product + Offer (shops), Article + Author (blog/magazine), HowTo (guides). Combine in one @graph and enrich with sameAs links to LinkedIn, Wikipedia, Crunchbase, GitHub."},{"question":"How often should I run the AI visibility check?","answer":"At minimum after every release that touches routing, headers, robots.txt, schema or performance.

Set sensible max-age and s-maxage values per content type.","perf_cdnCloudflare":"Cloudflare detected as CDN","perf_cdnCloudflare_info":"Cloudflare delivers your shop. Mind APO config, Bot Fight Mode and cache rules – otherwise you often end up with caching disabled.","perf_cdnFastly":"Fastly detected as CDN","perf_cdnFastly_info":"Fastly is a powerful CDN with VCL rules. Mind clean cache keys and purge strategies on plugin/content updates.","perf_cdnVarnish":"Varnish cache detected","perf_cdnVarnish_info":"Varnish is a classic reverse proxy for Shopware. Important: clean VCL rules, tag-based invalidation and hit-rate monitoring.","perf_cdnNone":"No known CDN detected","perf_cdnNone_info":"Without CDN or reverse proxy every storefront request hits your origin. With growing traffic that becomes a limiter. Cloudflare, Varnish or Fastly almost always pay off.","sec_https":"HTTPS active","sec_https_info":"HTTPS is mandatory for modern shop security and protects against MITM. Also check certificate validity and automatic renewal.","sec_noHttps":"No HTTPS connection","sec_noHttps_info":"Without HTTPS you lose trust, conversion and visibility. Enable TLS (Let's Encrypt, Cloudflare, Maxcluster), set a permanent HTTP→HTTPS redirect and enable HSTS.","sec_hstsOk":"Strict-Transport-Security present","sec_hstsOk_info":"HSTS forces browsers onto HTTPS permanently. Add includeSubDomains and preload once all subdomains are reliably HTTPS.","sec_hstsMissing":"No Strict-Transport-Security header","sec_hstsMissing_info":"Without HSTS browsers still accept downgrade attacks. Set at least max-age=31536000 in the reverse proxy or Shopware framework config.","sec_cspOk":"Content-Security-Policy active","sec_cspOk_info":"CSP protects against XSS and unmanaged third-party snippets. Maintain the policy with every new plugin or tracking snippet.","sec_cspMissing":"No Content-Security-Policy","sec_cspMissing_info":"Without CSP any injected JavaScript runs unchecked. Start with a report-only policy, build out sources, and switch to enforcing once reports settle.","sec_xfoOk":"X-Frame-Options present","sec_xfoOk_info":"Protects against clickjacking by preventing framing. Alternative: frame-ancestors in CSP.","sec_xfoMissing":"No X-Frame-Options header","sec_xfoMissing_info":"Without this header your shop can be embedded via '<iframe>' on foreign domains. Set SAMEORIGIN or DENY.","sec_xctOk":"X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff","sec_xctOk_info":"Prevents MIME-sniffing attacks. Should be default on every web server.","sec_xctMissing":"No nosniff header","sec_xctMissing_info":"Add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff in the web server or reverse proxy. Quick hardening, no side effects.","sec_serverBanner":"Header {header} leaks version info: {value}","sec_serverBanner_info":"Server, X-Powered-By and similar headers expose versions to attackers. Strip them in nginx/Apache or the reverse proxy.","sec_adminPublicSw6":"Shopware administration publicly reachable at /admin","sec_adminPublicSw6_info":"The admin UI is publicly reachable. Restrict /admin to internal IPs, a VPN or at least a reverse proxy auth layer. Brute-force against admin is a standard attack.","sec_adminPublicSw5":"Shopware 5 backend publicly reachable at /backend","sec_adminPublicSw5_info":"The SW5 backend is public. Combined with EOL it's especially critical. Restrict to internal IPs or VPN.","seo_titleOk":"'<title>' tag present","seo_titleOk_info":"The title is the most important short description of your page – for Google snippets and social previews alike.","seo_titleMissing":"No or too-short '<title>'","seo_titleMissing_info":"Set a unique, descriptive '<title>' per page (40–60 chars). In Shopware you control this via meta fields per category/product or via the theme.","seo_metaOk":"Meta description present","seo_metaOk_info":"The meta description controls the preview in Google. 140–160 chars with clear value prop and CTA works best.","seo_metaMissing":"No meta description","seo_metaMissing_info":"Add a meta description per page. In Shopware the field lives in the SEO settings of category, product and CMS pages.","seo_h1Ok":"Exactly one '<h1>'","seo_h1Ok_info":"A single H1 helps Google and AI identify the main topic of the page.","seo_h1Multiple":"{count} '<h1>' tags – should be exactly one","seo_h1Multiple_info":"Multiple H1s confuse topic mapping. Reduce to one H1 and use H2/H3 for subsections.","seo_h1Missing":"No '<h1>'","seo_h1Missing_info":"Without H1 the page reads as topicless. Add a concise H1 in the theme or via the CMS editor.","seo_ogOk":"Open Graph tags present","seo_ogOk_info":"OG tags control previews in Slack, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and ChatGPT browse. Maintain them per category/product, not just globally.","seo_ogMissing":"Open Graph tags missing","seo_ogMissing_info":"Set at least og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url and og:type. In Shopware the theme can generate OG tags from meta data.","seo_robotsOk":"robots.txt reachable","seo_robotsOk_info":"A reachable robots.txt is the basis for clean crawling. Also reference your sitemap.xml inside.","seo_robotsBad":"robots.txt returns HTTP {status}","seo_robotsBad_info":"robots.txt should return HTTP 200. On 404, create the file. On 403/500, check reverse proxy or plugins intercepting it.","seo_robotsError":"Could not load robots.txt","seo_robotsError_info":"Network or TLS error loading robots.txt. Check reachability, certificate and logs.","seo_sitemapOk":"sitemap.xml reachable ({urls} URLs)","seo_sitemapOk_info":"sitemap.xml is the official map of your shop. Also reference it in robots.txt via Sitemap: https://…/sitemap.xml.","seo_sitemapBad":"sitemap.xml returns HTTP {status}","seo_sitemapBad_info":"Enable Shopware's sitemap generator (default in SW6) or fix delivery. For large shops, split into multiple sitemaps.","seo_sitemapError":"Could not load sitemap.xml","seo_sitemapError_info":"Network or TLS error. Check server, cron job and sitemap plugin config.","seo_hreflangOk":"hreflang set: {langs}","seo_hreflangOk_info":"hreflang signals language/country variants. Important for multi-shop setups (DE/EN/AT/CH).","seo_hreflangMissing":"No hreflang set","seo_hreflangMissing_info":"For multi-language or multi-country setups add hreflang tags per language/country plus x-default. Otherwise Google treats variants as duplicate content.","schema_none":"No JSON-LD schema found","schema_none_info":"Without JSON-LD Google gets no structured data and AI tools must guess what you offer. Start with Organization, WebSite and Product schema. Shopware can emit it via plugin (e.g. SEO Pro) or via the theme.","schema_count":"{count} JSON-LD block(s) found – types: {types}","schema_count_info":"Quantity is not quality. Check which @types are present and whether key fields (price, availability, sku) for products are correctly set.","schema_parseError":"JSON-LD block could not be parsed","schema_parseError_info":"A JSON-LD block has a syntax error. Validate with https://validator.schema.org/ and mind HTML escaping ('&', '<').","schema_has":"Schema contains {type}","schema_has_info":"This schema type is present – Google and AI tools can attach your brand profile more reliably.","schema_missing":"Schema missing {type}","schema_missing_info":"Recommended @types missing: Organization (who you are), WebSite (sitelinks), Product + Offer (products), BreadcrumbList (hierarchy). Combine in a single @graph.","sw_notShopware":"No Shopware specifics applicable","sw_notShopware_info":"Since no Shopware was detected, the Shopware-specific recommendations are not relevant. If you're planning to migrate onto Shopware, get in touch – we do this regularly.","sw_cookieBannerOk":"Cookie banner configuration detected","sw_cookieBannerOk_info":"Shopware's cookie permission system is active. Verify that all third-party snippets load behind consent properly.","sw_cookieBannerMissing":"No Shopware cookie banner detected","sw_cookieBannerMissing_info":"No Shopware cookie config was found in the HTML. Verify whether an external consent tool (Usercentrics, Cookiebot) is integrated and consent passes through correctly.","sw_trackersFound":"Tracking snippets detected (GTM/GA/Hotjar)","sw_trackersFound_info":"Make sure all trackers load behind consent and only collect data you actually need.","sw_sw5EolWarning":"Shopware 5 is no longer supported","sw_sw5EolWarning_info":"Plan a migration to Shopware 6. We migrate in four phases (analysis, data migration, parallel build, cutover) without revenue dips.","sw_storeApiReachable":"Store-API endpoint responds","sw_storeApiReachable_info":"The Store-API is reachable – standard for headless and app integrations. Make sure to rotate access keys per channel and only expose endpoints you actually need.","sw_storefrontBundleOk":"Storefront bundle correctly embedded","sw_storefrontBundleOk_info":"The default storefront bundle is active. On theme builds mind build reproducibility and cache invalidation.","sw_stagingHints":"Possible staging references in HTML","sw_stagingHints_info":"We found hints of staging/test URLs in the HTML.
