AI VISIBILITY FOR ECOMMERCE
When buyers ask AI, does it name you?
People ask AI which product to buy, and the answer names specific products and specific retailers. If it does not name yours, the sale happened somewhere else before anyone reached a search results page.
The free check asks one question on Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT, no account. A signed-in scan asks all 7 engines.
Where the answers come from
Product questions pull in review sites, big retailers, video and forum threads far more than brand sites. The sources an engine cites in one category look nothing like another’s, which is why a benchmark from someone else’s category tells you nothing about yours.
The questions that decide it
Not keywords, and not your brand name. Your brand name returns you and teaches you nothing. These are the shapes a buyer in your category actually types, and they are what a scan asks.
- 01best <product> under $<price>
- 02is <brand> <product> any good
- 03<product> for <use case>
- 04where to buy <product>
Fill in your own category and competitors. A scan takes your list, asks every engine, and reports which answers named you and which named somebody else.
WHAT COMES BACK
The pages that got cited, by URL
A score tells you that you lost. The citation list tells you where to go. We ran our own category first and published the result: 9 questions, 62 answers, 133 distinct domains cited, and our own domain named in none of them. The most-cited competitor appeared in 6 of the 7 engines rather than all of them. The full method is here, including how to run it by hand for nothing.
Engines asked on every plan
WHERE TO START
Pro, $79 a month
Every product line is its own topic with its own answer, so the number that matters is how many topics you can keep measured at once.
1,000 questions a month across 20 topics, the first 20 of each scan on all 7 engines and the rest on Google AI Overviews. Every plan is one login.
Questions people actually ask
- Does AI visibility matter for ecommerce?
- People ask AI which product to buy, and the answer names specific products and specific retailers. If it does not name yours, the sale happened somewhere else before anyone reached a search results page. Whether it matters for you specifically is a measurable question rather than an argument, which is why the first scan is free.
- What questions should I measure?
- The sentences your buyers type when they are choosing, not your brand name. Your brand name returns you and tells you nothing. In this category that looks like: best <product> under $<price>; is <brand> <product> any good; <product> for <use case>; where to buy <product>.
- Which engines do you check?
- All 7, on every plan: Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Claude. The first 20 questions of a scan go to all of them; past 20, Google AI Overviews continues alone. They disagree constantly, so one engine is a sample rather than an answer.
- What does it cost?
- $79 a month, or $65 a month billed annually, which covers 1,000 questions a month across 20 topics, the first 20 of each scan on all 7 engines and the rest on Google AI Overviews. There is a free scan first if you want to see a result before paying.
