Why should I do this now, not later?
Two reasons. First, the data: brands that show up in AI answers from 2026 build review and citation history that compounds — agents weight established brands heavier over time. Second, the cost: as agencies catch on, prices for this work will rise. Pilot pricing here is roughly half what this will cost in twelve months.
Isn't this just SEO with a new name?
No. SEO optimises a page for ranking in a list of links. AI agents don't return lists — they return one or two recommendations. The signals are different (structured data, real-time inventory, review aggregation, protocol enrolment), the surfaces are different (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot — none of which are Google search), and the buying flow is different (the customer never visits your site). It overlaps with SEO. It isn't SEO.
How do you actually measure this?
Before/after queries across all four AI surfaces using a scripted set of buyer-intent prompts for your category. We document with screenshots, track citation frequency over time, and report monthly on growth and visibility share against your top three competitors.
My platform isn't Shopify — can you still help?
Most of the work is platform-agnostic — schema markup, llms.txt, product feeds, review structure. The Shopify Agentic Plan is the only tier-specific piece. WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento and headless setups all work. Custom builds we'll quote separately.
How long until I see results?
Crawl and re-indexing takes 14–30 days for most AI surfaces. Schema and feed changes can show within a week. Significant changes in AI citation share typically land in 30–60 days. Your Growth retainer reports monthly on what's moving.
What if it doesn't work?
30-day money-back on the setup fee if your post-implementation re-test doesn't show measurable visibility improvement. Retainer is cancellable anytime. We don't lock anyone in.
