AI Visibility for
Ecommerce Brands

Shoppers ask ChatGPT and Perplexity which product to buy before they open a browser. If your products aren't in those answers, you lost the sale before the buyer visited your site.

The ecommerce AI visibility problem

When a shopper asks an AI assistant "what's the best [product category]?", the AI answers based on what it can find, parse, and trust. For most ecommerce sites, the AI finds unstructured product descriptions with no machine-readable data. It can't extract price, availability, or brand reliably — so it either skips the brand or recommends a competitor that has the signals in place.

🏗️

Missing Product schema on 60%+ of product pages

Product JSON-LD with Offer, GTIN, brand, and availability gives AI shopping assistants the exact facts they need to recommend you.

🤖

AI crawlers blocked in robots.txt

GPTBot and Google-Extended being blocked means AI platforms never learn your product catalogue exists. One line in robots.txt costs you the entire AI shopping channel.

📡

No GTIN = no Google Merchant Center eligibility

GTIN (barcode) is required for Google's AI-powered Shopping features. Missing it blocks ~74% of products from appearing in AI-influenced shopping results.

📋

No comparison or category content

When shoppers ask 'best [category] for [use case]', your products need to be on pages that answer that question. Most ecommerce sites have zero comparison content.

📄

No llms.txt

96% of ecommerce sites don't have one. It's a 30-minute task that gives AI engines a structured map of your product catalogue.
