Can shoppers find what this store sells?

What the buyer learns

Every number with its sample size and date, under the published test standard.

Demand capture on-site
How often a shopper who asks for something the store stocks fails to find it in the search box, with sample sizes.
Demand capture in AI assistants
Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and Copilot recommend the store for its own category, and whether they state its facts correctly.
Root causes
Whether misses come from catalog data, feeds, crawler access or the search engine, and what each would take to fix.
Competitor displacement
Which competitors assistants recommend instead, for intents the store can serve.

Scope

  • Independent-mode search, catalog & AI findability diligence (12-month no-fix rule), buyer risk & upside memo, and buyer Q&A call
  • Independent mode only: we sell no fix to the store for 12 months, so the result is not a lead for us
  • The store’s written consent before testing; the store receives the same report
  • Delivered in 5 business days from consent and catalog access
  • Liability capped at the fee; findings open to dispute for 30 days
