How the Shopify AI Visibility Check Works
What AI Looks At Before Recommending Your Shopify Store
The signals that decide if AI recommends your store

Crawler access
We check whether AI crawlers like OAI-SearchBot can reach your Shopify pages, since a blocked robots.txt keeps you out of every AI answer.

Product data & schema
We check that your Shopify product data and schema are complete and accurate, so AI can read price, availability, and attributes.

Query-matching titles
AI matches shopper questions to product titles. We flag branded or vague titles that do not match how buyers actually search.

Reviews & trust
AI leans on reviews and outside mentions. We assess whether your store has the depth and recency of trust signals AI rewards.
