01 / WHAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING

The short version.

Shopify has started feeding product data from eligible stores to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI, but assistants only recommend what they can understand, and understanding comes from your product words. Vague wording loses you sales in Google and in AI answers at the same time.

HOW IT WORKS

You approve every change.

  1. Connect. Two accesses, about 30 minutes, guided over email at your pace: a private app in your own Shopify admin (you hold the keys) and read-only access to your Google Search Console.
  2. We find the near-misses. Every search where your store sits in positions 8–20, just off page one, with real traffic waiting behind it.
  3. You approve. For each page: exactly what we’d change, old text next to new, and why. Nothing is applied until you tap approve. Skip anything you don’t like.
  4. We apply and verify. Approved changes go live on your store and we re-check each one landed. Every change reverses with one click, any time.
  5. 28 days later: proof. Each page’s Google position before and after, from Search Console data. Then the cycle repeats monthly.

06 / WHY NOW

Google didn’t go away. AI arrived on top of it.

This isn’t a reason to drop what you’re doing in Google. It’s a reason to fix the part that serves both.

07 / HOW IT WORKS

You approve every change. Google measures the result.

We work on the searches you’re almost winning: pages sitting just off page one with real traffic behind them. Then we prove what moved with Google’s own data.

Connect

Two accesses, about 30 minutes, guided over email at your pace: a private app in your own Shopify admin (you hold the keys) and read-only access to your Google Search Console.

We find the near-misses

Every search where your store sits in positions 8–20, just off page one, with real traffic waiting behind it.

You approve

For each page: exactly what we’d change, old text next to new, and why. Nothing is applied until you tap approve. Skip anything you don’t like.

We apply and verify

Approved changes go live on your store and we re-check each one landed. Every change reverses with one click, any time.

28 days later: proof

Each page’s Google position before and after, from Search Console data. Then the cycle repeats monthly.

Compound effects

Every fixed page keeps working, and the same clean data is what AI assistants read. Your Search Console numbers show the compounding, visible and validated, month after month.

The same clean, specific page data is what AI shopping assistants read too. But we only charge you against what we can prove.

08 / PRICING

Evidence first. Then the subscription.

Setup, once
from A$3,999 +GST
Starting price, stores under 200 products · larger catalogues priced on quote

The technical SEO work agencies bill a retainer for, done once and done properly:

  • Structured data (JSON-LD) on your product pages, so Google and AI assistants can read price, stock and brand
  • Product titles rebuilt around real attributes: material, size, fit, who it’s for, in the categories shoppers actually search
  • Meta titles & descriptions for your homepage and key pages, written to earn the click
  • Crawler access audit: robots.txt opened to Google’s and every AI’s reader
  • Image alt text & barcode (GTIN) coverage across your catalogue
  • Site architecture & internal linking: collection structure, URL logic and your XML sitemap reviewed and fixed
  • Crawl health: broken links, redirect chains and indexation errors found and fixed
  • Search Console connected and a full baseline of your catalogue and search data

Code implementation included — every fix above is applied to your store and verified, not handed over as a PDF report.

Then your first opportunity report, your first batch of rewrites, everything you approve applied, and your first 28-day proof report.

Then monthly
A$1,999/mo +GST
Stores under 200 SKUs · starts only after your first proof report · larger catalogues priced on quote

Your catalogue, worked and proven month after month:

  • Weekly monitoring — your search data pulled and checked every week, not once a month
  • New opportunities detected and prioritised as rankings shift
  • Up to 30 pages rewritten monthly, highest impact first
  • Approval gate: nothing goes live until you sign off
  • Every change verified as it lands
  • 28-day proof report — each batch measured against a baseline so you see exactly what moved
  • Blog & email opportunities flagged, ready to action as an add-on whenever you want
  • Honest counts: some months fewer pages qualify, and the report shows why instead of padding the number

Cancel any month. No contracts, no exit process. Founding stores keep this rate for as long as they stay.

Billing starts only after your first proof report.

Our rules

  • Nothing changes without your approval. Ever. Every edit shows you the before and after.
  • Every change is reversible. We snapshot your original text first. One click puts it back.
  • We don’t invent claims. Rewrites only use what’s true and already on your page or from your producer. No fake awards, no made-up reviews.
  • If nothing moves, you see that too. Anyone who promises you page one is lying. We promise you’ll see exactly what happened, good or bad, and you can walk any month.
  • Your data stays yours. Revoke access in your own Shopify and Google settings, any moment.

No dashboards to learn. No scores to interpret. No lock-in. No changes behind your back. No promises we can’t measure.

09 / FAQ

Questions people actually ask

What’s the difference between SEO and GEO, and why are they connected?+

SEO is being found in Google’s normal results. GEO is being named inside an AI’s answer, like when someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation. They feel like two different jobs, but Google’s reader and an AI’s reader look at exactly the same thing: your product wording and the hidden info tags on your pages. They just show the result differently: one gives a list of links, the other says a name out loud. That’s why roughly 70% of the work is shared. Improve your product data once and you gain in both.

Should I stop doing SEO and just focus on AI?+

No, and that’s the expensive mistake. Google still sends most shopping traffic, and AI answers are often built from the same information Google indexes. Dropping SEO removes the foundation AI visibility stands on. Fix the shared part first; it’s the best-value work either way.

Why aren’t my products showing up in ChatGPT or Google AI?+

If your store is eligible, Shopify’s Agentic Storefronts rollout connects it to AI assistants automatically, but assistants only recommend products they can understand. The usual causes: titles missing material, size and use (“Blue Dress” instead of “Women’s Linen Midi Dress, French Blue, Size 6–16”), incomplete hidden info tags (price, stock, brand), or a setting accidentally blocking an AI’s reader. Every one of those also costs you in Google.

What does the score actually measure?+

How readable your store is to Google and to AI assistants, out of 100. The free check runs six real checks: how specifically your products are described (weighted heaviest, analysed product by product by Claude), the hidden info tags on your pages (price, stock, brand), whether Google’s and the AI readers are allowed in, your homepage title and description, image alt text, and product barcodes (GTINs). Every finding comes with a way to verify it yourself on your own store. We don’t report anything you can’t check.

How long does the free check take?+

Usually under a minute. It’s a real audit, not a lookup: we read your store’s settings, your homepage, a sample of your catalogue (up to 50 products), and analyse your product wording with Claude. Big catalogues are sampled so you still get a result. No login, no account, no credit card.

Do I need to be technical to use this?+

No. You paste your store address and get a plain-English report of what’s costing you sales, in order of impact. If you want us to fix it, the changes are applied to your Shopify catalogue for you. You don’t touch any code.
