Answer Engine Optimization for ecommerce brands. We get your products cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude — before your category auctions out.
the teardown shows you exactly this — for your brand, in your category
Seven sessions, then one conversation.
In eighteen months, the buying journey for your category lost five steps. Most brands haven't noticed because their dashboards were never instrumented for the channel that absorbed them.
An $8M DTC brand. $70 average order, $280 lifetime value. 10% of category queries shift to AI assistants this year — the conservative number, not the aggressive one. If you appear in zero of those answers, those orders walk to your competitors. Compare it to your annual Meta spend. Run yours below.

Four stages. One architecture.
We run 200 prompts before we run our mouth.
We map the actual AI shelf in your category. Two hundred real shopping prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, against your top SKUs and your three nearest competitors. You get the citation matrix whether or not you sign with us.
If you can't see the channel, you can't argue for the budget.
We deploy AI-traffic tracking, server-side attribution, and an AEO dashboard your CFO will accept. By week three, you can answer the question "what did AI search drive last week?" with a number, not a hand wave.
Six things ship in the first sixty days. None of them are blog posts.
Product feed rebuild for AI shopping agents. Agentic Commerce Protocol enablement for ChatGPT Instant Checkout. Universal Commerce Protocol for Google AI Mode and Gemini. Perplexity Merchant Program registration. Citation seeding on the third-party platforms AI models actually pull from. Crawler permissions audit.
Share-of-voice is the only metric that matters now.
Monthly content, citation work, and benchmark reporting. Your competitor catches up in eighteen months; in those eighteen months, you compound. Most engagements show measurable AI-attributed revenue inside ninety days and meaningful share shift inside six months.
Inside ninety days, a $12M skincare brand went from 0/200 to 78/200.
They had a CAC problem. Meta returns flat for two quarters, branded search holding but starting to dip, no AI plan. The CMO had read three "AI search" newsletters and pinned them to a Notion doc no one opened. We ran the audit on a Tuesday. The phone rang Friday.
"We had no idea this was a channel until we saw the citation matrix. Eight weeks later it was our second-best acquisition source."
We don't take every brand. We take the ones who treat the next eighteen months as the only window they have.
We publish the work most agencies sell.
Free five-minute video. Your shelf, in three chat windows.
We run your store through ChatGPT-5, Perplexity, and Gemini for the queries your category actually gets. We record what the models see, what they cite, and where your product schema breaks. The video lands in your inbox within one business day. No call required, no pitch attached.
