AI SEO services for online stores

AI SEO services make a website easy for AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot and Claude to find and cite. For a store, the work covers crawler access, product data and feeds, structured data, pages that answer buyers’ questions, brand and review signals, and regular checks of what the AI tools say.

An AEO agency, or answer engine optimization agency, works to get a business quoted and named in AI answers from tools such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity. For a store, that includes product data, feeds and structured data as well as page content.

AI SEO, answer engine optimization (AEO), generative engine optimization (GEO) and LLM optimization (LLMO) all name the same work. AEO focuses on being quoted as a source, GEO on being named in AI-written answers, and both build on regular SEO.

No. Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode are built on its search index, and ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot also read the web through search crawlers. A store that search engines can’t read is hard for AI tools to find too, so good SEO is the starting point for AI visibility.

ChatGPT can help draft copy or suggest the questions buyers ask. It can’t check your crawler settings, product feed or Search Console unless you connect them, and its suggestions still need checking by someone with access to your store.

No. No AI company sells or guarantees a place in its regular answers. We fix what keeps stores out, ask the same questions every month and show you what changed.

It depends on the size of your catalog, the state of your product data, how many questions we track, how many pages need writing and whether you want ongoing reports. After a free consultation we send a fixed quote before any work starts.

OpenAI and Perplexity say changes to crawler access take effect within about a day. No AI tool sets a timeline for appearing in its answers, and content and brand work takes longer and varies by tool, which is why we check again every month.

We keep a fixed list of buyer questions and ask it across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Copilot and Claude every month. We add Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools reports on Copilot citations, and visits and sales from AI tools in Google Analytics.

ChatGPT shows product results drawn from web pages and from product data that merchants or their store platforms share with OpenAI. Accurate product pages and complete, consistent product data are what we work on, and we check your platform’s current options during the audit.

It isn’t required. Google says AI text files like llms.txt aren’t needed for its AI features, and no major AI company has said its answers rely on one. It takes minutes to add, so we can include it, but we never sell it as a way to rank.

Usually not the search crawlers. OpenAI and Anthropic run separate crawlers for search and for training, and Perplexity says its crawler isn’t used for training, so you can stay visible in AI answers and still opt out of training. Google and Bing use one crawler for search and AI, so blocking them hurts search too.

It can. Marketplace listings are public pages that AI tools can read alongside your store, so we keep titles, item specifics and product facts consistent between your listings and your own store. Your own store is where we can change the most, from structured data to crawler access.

Your store’s address, admin or collaborator access to your store platform, access to Google Search Console and Merchant Center if you use them, and a list of the products you most want to be found for.
