Why this page matters for AI and for you
I want to show you something important. People ask AI tools simple things: “Who can deliver flowers today near me?” or “Which bakery offers curbside pickup?” If your site does not say this in one clear place, AI does not trust it. You miss easy orders.
Here is what I see every day: stores that deliver only on certain days, or ship only certain items, but none of that is clear online. AI guesses. Customers guess. Both are wrong. Then you get angry calls, returns, and bad reviews.
You can fix this fast. Make one page on your site called “Delivery, Pickup, and Shipping.” Use clear words. Use numbers. Use short lines. Trust me on this — it takes less time than you think.
Action today: Write the page title and a one-line promise, like “This page explains how we deliver, offer pickup, and ship your order.”
What to include: the exact fields AI needs
Let me walk you through exactly what to add. Use simple headings and bullet points. Keep it factual.
- ▸Delivery options: same‑day, next‑day, scheduled, curbside.
- ▸Delivery area: radius in miles or ZIP codes. List ZIPs if you can.
- ▸Delivery fees: flat fee, free over $X, surcharges for stairs or after‑hours.
- ▸Cut‑off times: order by 2:00 pm for same‑day. Use local time.
- ▸Time windows: 9–12, 12–3, 3–6. Say if you call before arrival.
- ▸Proof needs: age check, signature, gate code, photo ID if needed.
- ▸Pickup rules: location, parking, entrance, bring order number, wait time.
- ▸Curbside steps: call this number, tell car make/color, we bring it out.
- ▸Shipping carriers: USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL. Methods: Ground, 2‑Day.
- ▸Shipping days: we ship Mon–Fri. No shipping on holidays.
- ▸Packaging: chilled, fragile, eco wrap, discreet box.

- ▸Limits: no P.O. boxes, no aerosols by air, no frozen items international.
- ▸Returns for shipped orders: time window, condition, who pays return ship.

Action today: List your delivery area as ZIP codes or “within X miles of [city].”
How to format so AI reads it first time
AI likes clear structure. People do too. Put all details on one URL. Link it in your header or footer. Use short headings like “Delivery Area,” “Pickup Steps,” and “Shipping Methods.” Keep each item on its own line.
Use plain words that match what people ask. Say “same‑day delivery” not “express local service.” Say “order cut‑off 2:00 pm” not “orders by mid‑afternoon.” Use numbers for times, fees, and ZIPs. Avoid long stories on this page. Keep it like a map.
Also add simple proof. One photo of your pickup door. One sentence on how many orders you deliver each week. Small details make AI trust you more.
Action today: Add three short headings to your page: Delivery, Pickup, Shipping. Put two bullet points under each.

Do not hide this page. Put it in your main menu and your site footer. Add it to your Google Business Profile as a link. Ask staff to send this link in every order confirmation. When anything changes — fees, ZIPs, cut‑off times — update this page first.
Make a simple habit. Check this page on the first workday of each month. It takes 5 minutes. It saves you hours of back‑and‑forth later.
