Ecommerce GEO & AI SEO. Get recommended, then get bought.

Product research has moved into the assistant. Shoppers ask for the best option under a budget and act on the answer. Ecommerce GEO gets your products into that answer - and our AAIO work makes sure an agent can complete the purchase.

The prompts that decide it

Product research now happens in one conversation

The old journey ran across reviews, comparison sites and a dozen tabs. Increasingly it collapses into a single answer naming two or three products. Being one of them is the whole game.

>

Best [product] under £80 that's actually in stockPrice, availability and specification all resolved at once from structured feed data.

>

[Product A] vs [Product B] - which should I buy?Head-to-head comparisons where attribute parity and review evidence decide the verdict.

>

Where can I buy [product] with next-day delivery?A fulfilment prompt decided by clear, machine-readable delivery and stock data.

>

What's the best value alternative to [brand]?Alternative prompts, one of the highest-intent and most winnable opportunities in retail.

We build your prompt set from your own category and run it against live models - these are illustrative.

What makes it different

Retail is where GEO and agentic commerce meet

Ecommerce is the one category where being cited is not the finish line. An assistant recommends, and increasingly an agent then tries to transact. Visibility without agent-readiness converts into nothing.

feeds

Your feed is your reputation

Price, stock and specification accuracy decide whether a model trusts you enough to recommend you at all.

reviews

Review corpus is evidence

Volume, recency and specificity of reviews are the evidence models use to justify a recommendation.

execution

Recommendation is only half

If the agent cannot complete checkout, the citation is worthless. Readiness has to follow visibility.

Services

What ecommerce GEO involves

audit

Category prompt audit

We test the buying prompts in your categories and map where your products appear, where competitors win and why.

data

Product data & feed optimisation

Complete, accurate, machine-readable product, price, stock and specification data across every surface.

comparison

Comparison & alternative content

Answer-shaped comparison content built to be quoted when shoppers ask which to buy.

bridge

Handover to agentic readiness

We connect GEO visibility to our AAIO work so a recommended product is also a purchasable one.

What wins

Accuracy compounds, inaccuracy punishes

Retail GEO rewards operational discipline more than creativity. Models cite sources that have been consistently right, and quietly stop citing sources that have been wrong.

Price & stock accuracy

Discrepancies between your site, feeds and marketplaces undermine trust across every surface at once.

Specification completeness

Missing attributes mean silent exclusion from filtered recommendations - you never see the loss.

Review recency

A stale review corpus reads as a declining product. Recency carries real weight in model judgements.

FAQ

Ecommerce GEO questions

What is ecommerce GEO and AI SEO?
Ecommerce GEO (also called AI SEO) is Generative Engine Optimisation for online retail: structuring product, price, stock and review data so AI assistants recommend your products when shoppers ask what to buy.
How is this different from Google Shopping optimisation?
Shopping feeds target a specific ad and listing surface. GEO targets the synthesised answer an assistant gives, which draws on your site, your feeds, reviews and third-party sources together. Good feed hygiene helps both.
Does GEO actually drive revenue for retailers?
It drives qualified traffic and, increasingly, direct agent-led purchases. We track AI and assistant referrals in GA4 so the contribution is measurable rather than assumed.
What if an AI recommends us but the agent can't check out?
That is the exact failure our Agentic AI Optimisation service addresses. For retailers we usually run GEO and AAIO together, since visibility without transactability just sends the sale elsewhere.
How important are reviews?
Very. Models use review volume, recency and specificity as evidence for a recommendation. A thin or stale review corpus is a common reason a well-optimised retailer still gets skipped.
