You don't need to understand AI optimization — just whether AI can recommend your store. ShopHero handles the rest.
I need waterproof Chelsea boots for wide feet under $150, shipping to Austin.
This is already happening. Customers ask AI what to buy. AI recommends a few stores. The shopper clicks one. The only question is whether your store is on the list.
Most Shopify stores are invisible to AI.
When a shopper asks ChatGPT what to buy, AI recommends just a few stores — and most Shopify stores aren't even in the running. ShopHero gives AI everything it needs to understand, trust, and recommend your store — and shows you proof it's working.
AI recommendations are becoming the new Page One of Google. Most businesses haven't realized it yet. That's your opportunity.
AI-Readiness Score™ · the new benchmark
Where does your store stand?
SEO had Domain Authority. AI shopping has the AI-Readiness Score™ — one number for how readable and recommendable your store is to AI, broken down across what actually moves it.

How ShopHero works
From invisible to recommended.
Four steps. You approve; ShopHero does the work and keeps it live.
1🔍
Deep scan & analysis
ShopHero crawls your whole store — best sellers, collections, descriptions, existing schema and content gaps — and benchmarks how AI agents see you.
Output: your AI-Readiness Score + a ranked list of the biggest opportunities to fix first.
2📐
Teach AI what you sell
AI finally understands exactly what each product is, what it costs, and whether it's in stock — so it can answer shopper questions with your products.
Under the hood: structured data, a retrieval feed and an llms.txt — built, validated and kept fresh as products change.
3✍️
Become the source AI quotes
Answer-shaped content built from your real best sellers — the buying guides, comparisons and FAQs AI pulls from when shoppers ask what to buy.
Published on a cadence, mapped to real products, internally linked + schema'd. Built to be cited, not buried.
4📈
See AI discover your store
Watch GPTBot, ClaudeBot and Perplexity read your store in real time — living proof it's working, not a black box you have to trust.
Real crawler analytics: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot & Google-Extended hits, live in your dashboard.

Advanced AI optimization · powered by Claude

✕No proof it works — you're guessing

✓Schema + retrieval feed + llms.txt — AI can finally parse you

Set up in an afternoon. Two weeks later my score jumped from 34 to 89 and I can actually see ChatGPT's bot crawling my feed. Wild to watch.

Finally a tool that explains what's wrong in plain English and just fixes it. Schema and llms.txt were done before I finished my coffee.

Nothing touches my live theme without approval, which I love. And I can finally see which AI is sending traffic.
No. ShopHero duplicates your theme before any edit and stages every change for your approval. Nothing goes live until you publish, and you can roll back any change in one click.
Do I need to know how to code?+
Not at all. You describe what you want in plain English - “make my homepage faster,” “rewrite my product descriptions” - and ShopHero does the technical work.
Will this actually get me recommended by ChatGPT and Perplexity?+
We make your store genuinely readable by AI agents - structured data, a retrieval feed, an llms.txt and answer-shaped content - which is exactly what those engines look for, and we show you real logs of which AI bots fetch your store. No tool can guarantee a specific AI will name you, and anyone who promises that is selling hype. What we do is stop you being invisible to them - and prove it with crawler data.
What does it cost?+
Your AI-Readiness Score is free - no card. Starter is $49/month (hosted llms.txt + AI-retrieval feed, auto schema on every product, AI-crawler analytics, speed fixes). Pro is $149/month and adds the constant AI-answer content drip, ~15 authentic shop backlinks/month via the ShopHero Link Network, live re-optimization and brand-voice tuning. Authority is $399/month and adds a monthly press release distributed to 400+ news sites (Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, MarketWatch and more) — an $800/month value powered by MediaFuse — for high-authority backlinks and brand mentions on the sources AI trusts. 3-day free trial on paid plans, cancel anytime from Shopify.
Which AI powers it?+
ShopHero runs on Claude, Anthropic's frontier AI. We match the model to the task - fast models for routine work, stronger ones only when a job truly needs it - so you get top-tier quality without overpaying.
Is my data safe?+
ShopHero works through Shopify's official Admin API, using only the permissions you grant, and acts on your store on your behalf - with your approval on every change.
What about privacy and my data?+
ShopHero only accesses what you authorize through Shopify's official API, and we don't sell your data. Store content is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate edits and recommendations - and Anthropic does not use API data to train its models. You can read our Privacy Policy and Terms in the footer, and delete your data anytime by uninstalling or emailing us.
What if I don't like what it does?+
Every change is reversible in one click through full version history. You're always in control.
Is it just AI spam?+
No. We don't fling posts at the wall — we make your store machine-readable (schema, feed, llms.txt) and write answer-shaped content grounded in your real catalog, for your approval. If you wouldn't send it to a customer, we don't ship it.
Will AI content hurt my Google rankings?+
Mass thin content can. Ours is depth-first, product-linked, schema'd and merchant-approved — and the core of ShopHero is technical readiness, not volume.
I've been burned by SEO before.+
Fair. The difference: you start free with a real AI-Readiness Score, you see your hosted files live, and you watch actual AI-crawler logs. No black box — cancel anytime from Shopify.
Stop overpaying
Save thousands on SEO agencies that can't even optimize for AI.
Most agencies are still running the 2016 playbook — backlinks and blog posts — with no idea how next-gen AI agent search actually picks stores. ShopHero does the new thing, at a fraction of the cost.

💰 Save $35,000+ a year vs a typical SEO agency — for a tool that's actually built for AI.
🚀 The biggest opportunity is that it's still early
AI shopping is where SEO was years ago.
Today, only a handful of stores are optimized for AI recommendations. Tomorrow, every store will be competing for the same few spots. The stores that start now build the citations, authority and data that compound — before the seats fill up.
The complete AI-ranking picture — content and authority.
📣
$800 of press-release value every month — powered by MediaFuse
AI ranks you on two things: what your store says about itself, and what the rest of the web says about you. Pro nails the first with monthly content. Authority adds the second — high-authority backlinks — so both halves compound into AI-ranking domination.
Everything in Pro, plus:
✓Everything in Pro, including ~15 authentic shop backlinks/month via the ShopHero Link Network
✓A monthly press release distributed to 400+ news sites — Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, MarketWatch, AP & more (an $800/mo value via MediaFuse)
✓High-authority backlinks from the top-domain-authority sites AI already trusts
