We get your products chosen by AI shopping assistants, so you make more sales.
AEO (answer engine optimisation) is getting your products picked when buyers ask AI what to buy. We test every week. If AI skips a product, we fix what holds it back. If it already recommends you, we double down so you stay on top.
Ecommerce brands only · built around the products you choose
Shoppers use AI to decide what to buy.
Most brands have no idea if they’re in the answer.

Four things decide if AI picks you. We handle all four.
Where AI names you
We find the questions buyers ask AI in your category, and track who gets picked and why.
Your product pages
Titles, specs, FAQs and structured data rewritten so AI can read and compare your products, plus comparison pages it can quote.
Feeds and agent readiness
Price, stock, shipping and returns set up so AI and shopping agents can read them. Need code changes? We write the spec for your developer.
The sites AI trusts
AI leans on review sites, buying guides and forums. We get your brand onto the ones it cites in your category.
Already recommended? We keep you there.
Being chosen today doesn’t mean you’ll be chosen next month. AI changes its sources all the time, and your rivals are working on it too. We test every week and act before you slip.
Product by product
Most AEO tracks your brand. We track every product.
Buyers don’t ask AI for a brand. They ask for the best product for their need.

Each product gets its own score
How often AI picks it when buyers ask what to buy.

Foundations come first: AI can only recommend what it can reach and read.
Nobody controls what AI says. But we know what makes it pick one product over another.
We can't promise a ranking. We promise the work: fixes live in 30 days, weekly tests and a clear record of what changed.

The service
No. Nobody controls what AI says. But we know what makes it pick one product over another, and that’s why brands hire us. We promise the work: fixes live in 30 days, weekly tests and a clear record of what changed.
A kick-off call, collaborator access to your store and Merchant Center, and quick approvals.
No. You see every change before it goes live, and we keep a copy of the old version so we can undo it.
ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. We add others as they become shopping channels.
Every week we ask the same buyer questions again and track where your products and brand are named, who’s named instead and which sites AI cites.
Yes. We’ll agree the terms with you before we start, and the changes we made stay in your store.
Yes. Get in touch about doing the work for your clients under your name.
The audit and implementation plan were groundbreaking. Seeing where we weren’t mentioned or considered for key buying terms was startling. We only recently started making the changes, but we’ve already seen a rise in our visibility in AI search, and we’re only at the beginning.
