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 →
