Use Case

AI Visibility for E-Commerce

Shoppers are asking AI what to buy. Make sure your products are recommended.

Check Your AI Visibility

The Problem

AI-powered shopping is growing fast. When customers ask "What’s the best wireless mouse for work?" or "Which skincare brand is best for sensitive skin?", AI engines recommend a short list of products. If your e-commerce brand isn’t on that list, you’re losing sales to competitors who are.

Example: When someone asks ChatGPT "What are the best running shoes for flat feet?"

Real prompts customers are asking

“Best ergonomic office chair under $500”

“What skincare brand is best for acne-prone skin?”

“Top-rated wireless earbuds for working out”

“Best sustainable fashion brands”
