AEO for Shopify brands — the citation moat Gushwork and Flyrank don't have
Shoppers ask AI assistants for product recommendations before they open a tab. GetCited is the only AEO platform with a native Shopify AEO module — Product schema, review aggregation, Organization entity signals, and AI engine visibility for your catalogue across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
Where Shopify / DTC brands lose AI citations
Product recommendations happen in AI, not on category pages
"Best sustainable running shoes under $150" returns a Perplexity answer citing three brands. If you aren't in it, the sale happens without you.
Product pages miss the schema AI engines extract
Product, Offer, AggregateRating, and Review schema decide whether AI engines can surface your SKUs as answers. Most Shopify themes ship these inconsistently.
Brand entity signals are fragmented across directories
Wikipedia/Wikidata gaps, inconsistent NAP, and missing Organization schema all cost you citation confidence. AI engines trust brands with unified, verifiable identity graphs.
