GEO / AEO for small business + e-commerce

Get found
by AI.

Not an agency reciting best practices. I run the SEO for a real family shop and show you exactly how I get it cited in ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity. With receipts.

What I did for one real family shop

80
AI answer-engine citations in 30 days
+3,033%
Google Search clicks in 28 days
2,861
product-image fixes shipped by an AI team in one weekend
$0
ad spend behind the organic wins

Real data from a real family shop (Krafty Bandit, a small boutique). "Cited" means AI answers pulled from the shop's pages on how-to queries (Microsoft Clarity AI-citations export, 6/21 to 7/20/26; the window before measured 71). The clicks percentage looks wild because the starting base was near zero. Real trajectory, small base, and I'll always say both. Sales grew too, but attribution is multi-causal, so I don't claim that. The honesty is the point.

The build, on camera

Every video teaches one concrete thing you can go do, backed by a real store instead of a slide deck.

I Built a Team of AI Employees to Run My Mom's Shopify Store

They shipped 2,861 product-image fixes in one weekend, and AI search engines now cite the shop 80 times a month on $0 in ads. The full build, including what flopped, drops as video #1.

The operator, not the theorist

I don't teach GEO from a whiteboard. I do it to a real store, and I show you the receipts, good and bad.

I run the search and AI-visibility work for my mom's boutique, Krafty Bandit. Real Shopify store, real products, real customers. I rebuilt its data, its schema, and its content until AI answer engines started citing it, and I documented every step, including the parts that didn't work.

Most people teaching "get found by AI" have never done it to a business they actually own. That gap is the whole reason this channel exists. If a strategy can't survive contact with a real shop and a real budget, I'm not going to hand it to you.
