Free check · asks ChatGPT live, or Claude if it is unavailable
Shopify AI visibility checker
Shoppers now ask ChatGPT what to buy, and it answers with products and the stores that sell them. Type your store and a product type. We ask ChatGPT three shopper questions, with web search on, and show whether it named you.
What shoppers ask ChatGPT when they are ready to buy
Shoppers ask about a product and a need, not about a store. The answer names a few products and where to buy them, and the stores behind those links get the sale.
- What is a good gift for a coffee lover under $50?
- Which sunscreen brands are reef-safe and leave no white cast?
- Is a merino wool base layer worth it for winter hiking?
- Where can I buy a washable rug that holds up to dogs?
- What are the most comfortable work boots for standing all day?
- Which protein powder has no artificial sweeteners and mixes well with water?
- Is there a cheaper alternative to a Dyson hair dryer that works as well?
- What should I look for in a baby carrier for a newborn in summer?
The check asks 3. On Growth, Rankli asks 50 of yours every week on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
What ChatGPT reads on a Shopify store
Shopify gives every store some things AI can read out of the box. The rest comes from your product pages and the guides that link to them.
A store summary Shopify writes for you
Shopify answers the address where AI looks for a quick summary of your business (/llms.txt) with a file it generates, /agents.md. It describes your store, its policies and how an agent can shop it. The free AI check confirms yours is served.
Labels on every product page
Price and currency, stock, brand, barcode, rating, shipping and returns, stated as labels that tell AI your prices and products. The Rankli app embed adds them from your store’s own data, switched on once in the theme editor.
Guides that link the product in the sentence
ChatGPT answers "which one should I buy?" from pages that compare options and recommend some. A buying guide that names your products at today’s prices, and links each where it comes up, is one it can quote.
Nothing that turns ChatGPT’s visitor away
OpenAI says a site that blocks OAI-SearchBot is not shown in ChatGPT search answers. A security app or an old rule in your settings can block it without warning. The free AI check reads your store the way that visitor does.
What three shopper questions tell a store, and what they leave out
- ChatGPT picks products afresh for each answer, so the list can change between askings. Growth asks 50 shopper questions every week and shows how often your store is named.
- It asks about one product type. A store with three categories has three sets of questions, and a different set of rivals in each.
- In the ChatGPT app, a shopper’s memory and earlier chats can shape the list too. The check asks through OpenAI’s API with web search on, without either.
- It looks for your store name and website. If ChatGPT names a product but not the store that sells it, the answer counts as not named. Add your website so links to your product pages count.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Shopify products recommended by ChatGPT?
Publish buying guides that answer the questions shoppers ask and link your products in the sentence. Make each product page state its price, stock and shipping as labels, and check that ChatGPT’s visitor can reach the store. Rankli writes those guides and publishes them to your Shopify blog, naming your real products at your store’s prices.
Does Shopify already give AI a summary of my store?
Yes. Shopify answers /llms.txt with a generated /agents.md that describes the store, its policies and how to shop it. The free AI check confirms yours is served. Rankli adds the product labels through its app embed, and the guides that give AI something to recommend.
Will Rankli change my Shopify theme?
No. The Rankli app embed adds labels for your store and products to every page, from your store’s own data. You switch it on once in the theme editor. Articles go to your store blog as drafts or live, your choice per connection. Rankli edits nothing in your theme.
What should a product page tell ChatGPT?
The price and currency, whether it is in stock, the brand, a barcode, real ratings, shipping and returns, and specs a shopper can compare. Rankli reads a set of your in-stock product pages every week and lists which of these each one is missing.
Is the Shopify check free?
Free, with no account and no email. The 7-day free trial asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini up to 50 shopper questions. Then it starts writing product-led guides for the ones you lose.
