Frequently asked questions
How is the ShelfIQ AI Visibility Score calculated?
ShelfIQ runs each brand's store through a structured audit: scraping product schema markup, testing AI-query coverage across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, and scoring structured content quality. Scores are weighted across schema completeness, prompt coverage, and content depth. 0–100 scale; higher is better.
How often are scores updated?
Subscriber brands are re-audited every week (Monday mornings). Leaderboard scores for non-subscribers reflect the most recent free audit run. Subscribe to get weekly delta tracking for your own brand.
What does "AI visibility" mean for an ecommerce brand?
When a buyer types "best protein powder UK" into ChatGPT or Perplexity, the AI cites brands it can find, understand, and trust — based on structured content, schema markup, and review data. AI visibility is how often your brand gets cited vs. your competitors in these high-intent queries.
Can I improve my brand's score?
Yes. The biggest gains come from adding FAQ schema to product pages, publishing structured comparison and buying guide content, and marking up customer reviews with AggregateRating schema. ShelfIQ's full audit report includes a prioritised action plan. Run a free audit →
