For ecommerce & DTC brands
Shoppers ask AI what to buy. Be the brand it names.
“When someone asks ChatGPT for the best one under $200, I want it to say us.”
Shoppers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode for the best option under a budget, and the answer names three other brands while your catalog sits crawled and unmentioned. We rewrite your product pages so the engines can quote them, publish the comparisons shoppers ask for, and run your shoppers’ questions every day to see which brands the engines name, until one of them is you.
The problem
Crawled is not recommended
The engines have read your entire catalog. That is not the same as telling anyone to buy from it.
The catalog is indexed. The answer skips it.
Every bot on the web has read your product pages. Ask ChatGPT for the best in your category and it names three other brands. Being in the index earns you nothing when the answer is what makes the sale.
Your product page says nothing an engine can quote.
You have a hero image, a lifestyle paragraph, and specs in a tab that loads on click. What you do not have is one plain sentence saying what the product is, who it is for, and what it costs, so the engine quotes whoever wrote one.
The comparison the shopper asked for lives on a competitor’s site.
“Yours vs theirs” decides the sale, and the only pages answering it are a rival’s comparison and a two-year-old Reddit thread. Those are what the engine summarizes, so you never get a say in it.
Paid social CAC keeps climbing while the free recommendation goes elsewhere.
You pay more every quarter for a Meta click that converts worse, while an AI assistant hands a high-intent shopper to a competitor, unpaid, in a conversation you cannot see or bid on.
You have no idea which brands the engines name in your category.
No report shows what ChatGPT told a shopper yesterday, which brand it put first, or which YouTube review it trusted. Nobody asks daily, so you find out from a sales dip.
Why now
AI shopping became a channel in eighteen months
None of these figures are ours.
26%
of US shoppers now start product research with an AI tool
Search engines still lead at 33%. One in four shoppers never sees your Google ranking.
9x
more conversions from AI-search referrals than from social referrals, 2025 holidays
The click you pay Meta for converts worse than the one ChatGPT sends for free.
47 to 63%
of retail product pages AI agents could actually read in May 2026, by category
Cosmetics 63%, electronics 56%, apparel 51%, furniture 47%. The engines cannot quote the rest.
69%
of AI-assisted shoppers finish the purchase on a retailer’s own site or app
Only 10% buy inside the AI platform. The engine picks the brand; your store still takes the order.
What we do about it
What it takes to get the catalog recommended
Our team does all three inside your store, and the same daily runs measure each one.
Product pages
Product pages the engines can read and quote
We audit your top products and collections the way an AI crawler sees them: 21 checks per URL, covering whether the 20 major AI bots are allowed in, whether the specs render without JavaScript, and whether one plain sentence says what the product is, who it is for, and what it costs. We then ship the fixes into your store ourselves, so your developer never gets a ticket.
- Crawler access for the AI bots that matter, verified page by page
- Specs, sizing, and price in plain text instead of a tab or an image
- A “who this is for” line the engines can lift verbatim, and the structured data they read
Comparisons and buying guides
The comparisons shoppers ask for, written and published
“Best X under $Y”, “A vs B”, “is X worth it”: we pull the questions your category gets asked from real search demand and from what the engines already answer, then write the buying guides and head-to-head comparisons that answer them honestly, on your domain, with your product in the frame. Every article is a draft until you approve it.
- “Best under $X” guides and “yours vs theirs” pages the engines can cite
- Written for the prompts where competitors get named instead of you
- The next piece targets whichever question the daily runs say you are still losing
Tracking
Which brands the engines recommend, and which threads they trust
Every day the platform runs your shoppers’ questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Mode, and records every brand each answer names and every source it cites. You see your mention rate, how early you appear, and your share of voice against the brands those answers name.
It also ranks the Reddit threads and YouTube reviews behind those answers, by how often the engines cite each one in your category, counted from your own daily runs rather than a general study. We work down that ranking, so the thread quoted next month has your name in it.
The recommendation is the sale
AI does not take the order. It narrows a category to two or three names, and the shopper leaves to check out on the brand’s own site. Which names make that shortlist gets decided in a conversation you cannot see and cannot bid on, and all you can do about it is make sure yours is one of them.

- Product page fixes shipped into your store: plain specs, a “who this is for” line, shopper questions answered
- Buying guides and head-to-head comparisons for the prompts you are losing, published with your approval
- Daily runs of your shoppers’ questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Mode
- Share of voice and position against the brands the engines name, and the threads and reviews they cite
- A monthly report tied to what shipped, and a call each month to go through it
The platform behind the work
What our team runs for you
The platform our team works in, and the one you get a login to.
- Your shoppers’ questions, “best under $X” included, run daily across every engine, and every brand an answer names gets recorded.
Prompt Tracking
- The Reddit threads, YouTube reviews, and TikToks the engines cite in your category, ranked by how often each one comes up.
Social Monitoring
- Share of voice and who gets named first against the brands you fight at checkout, plus which of them moved this period.
Competitor Research
Questions ecommerce teams ask us
Before you give us CMS access
We already have a Google Shopping feed and Merchant Center. Is that not enough?
A feed gets your products listed in product cards, but it does not make an engine recommend them. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode decide what to name from the open web: your product pages, comparison and buying-guide content, review sites, Reddit, and YouTube. Keep the feed. The work here is making sure those sources say your name, and say it first.
What changes on our Shopify store?
Product and collection pages get a plain-text block the engines can quote: what the product is, who it is for, specs, sizing, and price outside of tabs and images, plus the questions shoppers ask. We fix crawler access if AI bots are blocked, and we publish buying guides and comparisons as pages on your domain. Everything ships through your CMS access after you approve the plan, and your theme and checkout stay untouched.
How long before AI starts naming us?
We will not give you a date, and anyone who does is guessing. The order is predictable, though: a product page we rewrite this month is recrawled within weeks, so “does it come in wide sizes” gets answered off your page instead of a guess. Getting named in “best under $150” takes a season, because the engines assemble that answer from reviews, threads, and guides they already trust and those have to accumulate. From week one you watch the mention rate and the cited sources move, which is a fairer thing to hold us to than a promise.
Does this replace our SEO agency or our paid social?
Neither. Ranking on Google and being named in an AI answer are different jobs with different measures, so this one runs alongside your SEO, and alongside your paid social too. What it adds is the unpaid, high-intent recommendation you currently have no way to win, plus a number to hold up against the CAC you are paying.
What does it cost, and what do we have to do?
Managed GEO starts at $990 a month, scoped after a free audit of your store. What we need from you: one onboarding call, CMS and analytics access, approval of the roadmap and of each article before it publishes, and a monthly call. Large retailers with in-house content teams usually take GEO Consulting & Trends instead, quoted per engagement.
