Does ChatGPT recommend your Shopify store, or your competitor?
AI shopping assistants now answer “what’s the best [product]” with 1-3 brands. If yours isn’t one of them, you’re invisible at the exact moment of purchase intent. We measure it, then hand you the fix list.
What we measure today
AI-crawler access
We hit your store as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended and report which get blocked. Shopify's default robots.txt is a common silent blocker, and a blocked crawler is a guaranteed zero.
Citation rate
We run real shopping queries for your category ("best [category] under $X", "best [category] for [use case]", "alternatives to [competitor]") across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, and count how often your store is named. The number, with a 95% confidence band.
On the roadmap (not measured yet)
Real AI-shopping factors we will add as the vertical proves out. We do not measure them today and the report says so. We would rather ship two honest numbers than five made-up ones.
- Product schema completeness (Product / Offer / Review / AggregateRating).
- Collection-page answerability (does each collection answer "best X for Y").
- Entity recognition (Organization schema, consistent NAP, third-party citations).
- Head-to-head competitor citation comparison.
Questions
Will AI actually recommend a small Shopify store?
Yes. AI shopping names 1-3 brands per query and weights crawler-accessible, answerable data over raw domain size. Newer stores that let the crawlers in out-recommend larger stores that block them.
How is this different from SEO?
SEO competes for a blue link in a list. AI shopping competes to be one of the 1-3 brands the model names. We measure whether AI crawlers can reach you, and whether AI actually names you for real shopping queries.
Do you check my product schema and collection pages?
Not yet, and we will not pretend to. Those are on the roadmap. Today we measure crawler access and citation rate. We would rather ship two honest numbers than five made-up ones.
Do I need a call?
No. Both tiers are async and self-serve, delivered by email.
