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.
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 method in plain English, no email wall. Start at the top.
What AI engines actually cite, why two guide pages earned 86% of a real shop's citations, and the six-move playbook.
Read the GEO guide →Five real questions, your robots.txt, one product page, one machine-read. Find out whether ChatGPT can even see your business.
Run the 10-minute check →GSC, Bing, Clarity, and GA4 with an AI-referral channel group, installed before you write a word of content. All free.
Install the stack →Every video teaches one concrete thing you can go do, backed by a real store instead of a slide deck.
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.
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.
The same method, in text, so you (and the AI crawlers) can find it.
