Make your products easier to find, understand and choose in AI shopping.
Shopify stores reach ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Meta through Agentic Storefronts and the Shopify Catalog, and Google through Merchant Center. Eligibility is the entry ticket; being chosen depends on facts, consistency and the pages engines already cite. We work on all three and measure with your own Shopify, Search Console and GA4 data.
- Shopify Catalog readiness
- Feed and schema checks
- Product page improvements
- Buying guides
- Referral attribution
Three outcomes
Catalog and feed eligibility confirmed
Agentic Storefronts on, Catalog mapping covering metafields, Merchant Center free listings without disapprovals, search crawlers allowed.
Product pages that answer the question
An answer-first paragraph, spec table, comparison and visible FAQ per priority product, with schema that matches the visible text.
Attribution you can show the board
A 'How did you first hear about us?' survey on the thank-you page with an explicit AI assistant option, reported monthly next to GA4 AI referrers.
Shopify audit scope
Concrete checks against the platform's published rules and inputs.
Shopify audit scope
| Area | What we check |
|---|---|
| Agentic Storefronts and Catalog | Channel status, unlisted products, Catalog mapping for metafields and tag prefixes |

| Crawlers | robots.txt and CDN rules for OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Amzn-SearchBot, Applebot, bingbot, Googlebot |

Issues we fix
- Products set to Unlisted or a theme that hides them from Catalog
- A CDN 'block AI bots' toggle that also blocks the search crawlers
- Theme schema with no identifiers, or two Product blocks per page from a schema app plus the theme
- Merchant Center disapprovals on price or availability mismatches
- Marketing copy with no facts an assistant can quote
- No attribution question at checkout, so AI-assisted orders are invisible

Questions
Is my store already in ChatGPT?
If it is eligible, Agentic Storefronts is on by default and buyers are sent to your own checkout. We confirm the status in your admin and check that nothing upstream (robots, CDN, unlisted products) blocks it.
Do I need a schema app?
Usually not. Most modern themes emit Product schema; we extend it with identifiers from metafields and remove duplicates. One Product block per page is the rule.
Will this replace my SEO?
It includes it. Being indexed and snippet-eligible is what Google requires for AI Overviews and AI Mode; the same pages serve search and assistants.
What does the survey cost?
Nothing extra on a plan. It is a Shopify checkout extension we install and report on.
Where this sits in the plans
Shopify counts as the one channel on Starter, or as the website channel alongside two marketplaces on Growth.
