graza.co isn't on the list
Graza is a direct-to-consumer olive oil brand specializing in fresh extra virgin olive oil sold in innovative squeeze bottles and recyclable refill cans. An AI can read the homepage and understands this positioning, but has limited public domain mentions or third-party reviews to amplify its authority.
Why
Graza is not yet readable enough for automated recommendation at scale because it lacks agent-directed signals (agents.json, agent-instructions.md) and auto-discovery metadata that would help AIs confidently surface it alongside established brands. The llms.txt file helps, but readability is only one factor—brand volume and third-party citation also matter, and smaller DTC olive oil brands typically don't yet compete with household names in AI recommendations without those structural signals in place.

AI answers vary run to run — paste the question above into ChatGPT or Perplexity to check for yourself. Being recommended depends on brand awareness and machine-readable data; the kit controls the readable part, so an AI can understand and cite your store at all. Re-checked daily. No store is disparaged — only the best-known names are surfaced.
