AI visibility · GEO

Is your store showing up when AI recommends products?

When a shopper asks ChatGPT “where can I buy X?” or asks Perplexity to recommend a product — does your store appear? Most don't. SEOLZ checks your AI visibility and tells you exactly why.

Search is no longer just Google.

higher click volume for brands cited inside AI answers vs those that aren't.

When someone asks an AI assistant to recommend a product or find a store, the AI doesn't search Google. It pulls from its training data and real-time web access — and it cites sources it trusts. Getting cited is the new version of ranking on page one.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of making your store legible, trustworthy, and citable to AI systems. It's not about keyword stuffing — it's about structured data, entity presence, and removing the technical barriers that prevent AI crawlers from reading your site.

What SEOLZ's AI visibility audit checks

🤖

AI crawler access

We check your robots.txt against 10 named AI crawlers including ChatGPT (GPTBot), Perplexity (PerplexityBot), Google AI (Google-Extended), Anthropic (ClaudeBot), Amazon (Amazonbot), and more. If you're blocking them, you're invisible to AI.

💬

ChatGPT & Perplexity mentions

We query ChatGPT and Perplexity with prompts relevant to your store's category and track whether your brand appears in the responses — and how often.

📊

Competitor AI share

We show you which competitors are appearing in AI answers for your category, so you can see the gap and understand what they're doing that you're not.

🌐

Entity presence (Knowledge Graph)

AI engines trust brands with established entity signals — Wikipedia presence, Google Knowledge Graph entries, consistent brand mentions across authoritative sources. We check where you stand.

🏷️

Schema for AI readiness

AI engines rely heavily on structured data to understand your products. We check Product schema, AggregateRating, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, and E-E-A-T signals — the markup that makes your pages AI-citable.

📈

AI visibility trend

We track your AI mention counts over time so you can see whether your improvements are working — or whether a competitor is pulling ahead.

What your AI visibility score means

0–30
Poor

AI assistants are unlikely to recommend your store. Critical blockers detected.

31–55
Fair

Partial AI visibility. Competitors with better GEO are getting recommended instead of you.

56–75
Good

Your store is AI-readable. Refine schema and entity signals to increase citation frequency.

76–100
Strong

Your store appears regularly in AI recommendations for your category.

How to improve your AI visibility

1

Fix your robots.txt

Allow the major AI crawlers. Blocking GPTBot and PerplexityBot means those AI systems literally cannot read your site. This is the fastest fix.

2

Add structured data

Product schema, AggregateRating, and FAQPage markup are the primary signals AI engines use to understand and cite your pages. Missing schema = missing citations.

3

Build entity presence

AI engines trust brands that appear across authoritative sources. A Wikipedia entry, Google Knowledge Panel, and consistent brand mentions signal trustworthiness to AI systems.

SEOLZ identifies every GEO blocker on your store and gives you the exact fix — including platform-specific steps and a ready-to-paste AI prompt.
