This applies the practice to Candles — for the head how-to, use the Learn link above. Niche context: Candle shoppers ask AI about clean burns, scent strength, soy vs coconut wax, and gifts that feel premium.

PDPs win shopping and problem prompts

In candles, assistants often need a specific SKU. Primer: Shopify PDP optimization for AI.

Above-the-fold answer block

State what it is, who it is for/not for, and key specs. Keep this in HTML — not only in images or apps.

Machine layer

Product JSON-LD + offers must match the page. Add GTIN on hero SKUs where applicable. See category Shopping guide.

Variant honesty

Candles variants (size, scent, firmness, shade) must not advertise stale InStock. Machines and shoppers both punish this.

Internal linking

Link to the parent collection that owns the broader ‘best of’ narrative so answers can cite either URL appropriately.

QA

Fetch the PDP as an AI user-agent and confirm specs are present in the response HTML.
