# Get Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI.

Your product catalog written in the format AI assistants actually read. Static HTML, schema.org structured data, llms.txt, and markdown product pages, so when shoppers ask an AI "what should I buy?", your brand is the answer.

AI shopping is growing 165× faster than organic search · Brands cited in AI Overviews get 35% more clicks

## AI Shopping Is Here. Your Store Probably Isn't Ready.

### Shopify hides your products from AI. We make them readable.

Shopify themes render product pages with JavaScript. AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI) prefer static HTML. Your products may be visually beautiful and still be invisible to the channels driving the next decade of shopping.

### AI shopping grows 165× faster than organic search

McKinsey projects $900B-$1T in US agentic commerce revenue by 2030. Today it's roughly 1% of traffic, but compounding fast. Brands cited in AI Overviews get 35% more clicks. Sites not optimized for AI lose share every quarter.

### Plugins don't fix the underlying problem

Schema markup apps ($15-50/mo). Speed optimization apps ($30/mo). LLM SEO consultants ($1000+/mo). None solve the underlying issue: your platform's architecture wasn't built for AI shoppers in the first place.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I know AI assistants are actually reading my store?

Test it directly. Once your store is live, ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews about a product on your site. Because AI engines can parse your static HTML, schema.org markup, and llms.txt file, your products become eligible for citation, but citation is not deterministic, it depends on query, ranking, and model behavior. We also expose privacy-safe analytics so you can see referral traffic from AI channels as it grows.

### What is llms.txt and why does it matter?

llms.txt is an emerging standard, like robots.txt for AI crawlers. It tells AI agents how your site is structured, what products you sell, and how to navigate. Most platforms do not support it. We auto-generate it for every storefront.

### Does this work for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews?

Yes. All three (and Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and emerging agents) prefer clean static HTML with structured data. Our architecture optimizes for the formats they actually parse, not for the JavaScript-heavy patterns most platforms use.

### Will my Shopify SEO transfer if I move?

Yes, and usually improves. Static HTML, auto-generated schema.org, sitemap, and llms.txt typically lift rankings within 60-90 days. Sub-second load is a Core Web Vitals win that compounds with AI-readability.

### Can I track AI-driven traffic and sales?

Partially today, fully later. Our analytics track UTM parameters and referrers, so direct AI traffic is visible. Multi-touch attribution for AI shopping is still maturing across the industry. No platform has perfect AI attribution yet, but we expose what is trackable.

### What if AI shopping does not take off?

Then you still get a sub-second-loading, SEO-optimized, custom-domain storefront with $0 monthly cost. AI-readability is additive. None of the work goes to waste. But the data: AI shopping is growing 165× faster than organic search. McKinsey projects $900B-$1T in US agentic commerce revenue by 2030. The bet has asymmetric upside.
