The New Commerce Landscape

Ecommerce has fundamentally changed.

Shoppers no longer start their search on a retailer's website or even a traditional search engine. Discovery, comparison, and purchase decisions now happen inside AI-driven interfaces that summarize, rank, and recommend products on a shopper's behalf. Brands that aren't structured for these systems are becoming invisible to a growing share of buyers, regardless of how strong their traditional SEO or advertising performance looks.

It measures how often AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Rufus, and Perplexity find and recommend your products. It also tracks how accurately they describe your brand.
Shoppers use AI assistants to compare products and get short lists of picks. Brands use AI for listings, reviews, reports, and forecasting.
It scores your AI visibility for e-commerce across six weighted areas. We test how AI assistants describe your brand, then deliver one overall score and a ranked 90-day roadmap.
You get your overall AI-Commerce Index™ score and a score for each of six categories. The PDF also holds plain-language recommendations, a 90-day roadmap, and workflow automation opportunities.
Most brands re-check every quarter. AI shopping platforms keep changing how they rank products, and your benchmark shifts as more brands are indexed. Quarterly checks show whether your AI visibility for e-commerce is rising or slipping.

Know exactly where your brand stands before AI shopping becomes the new normal.

AI Visibility for E-commerce: Is Your Brand Showing Up in AI Search?

Your rankings look fine. Your ads convert. Then a shopper asks ChatGPT for the best product in your category, and your brand never comes up.

You never see the lost sale.

Shoppers Are Asking AI What to Buy. Does It Name You?

Product search used to start on a retailer's site or a search engine. Now many shoppers start with an AI assistant such as Amazon Rufus (now Alexa for Shopping), ChatGPT, or Perplexity. They ask, read a short list of picks, and buy.

Say a shopper asks Rufus for a water bottle with a 24-hour cold hold. Rufus reads listing titles, bullets, reviews, and shopper questions to answer. If your listing never states the hold time, Rufus has little to work with.

Your rankings and ad reports won't show whether AI recommends you. A check of your AI visibility for e-commerce will.

What Does AI Visibility Mean in Practice?

AI visibility for e-commerce measures how often, and how accurately, AI assistants find, understand, and recommend your products. Three questions decide it:

  • Is your product data clear enough for AI to read?
  • Does AI describe your brand correctly?
  • Does AI recommend you when shoppers ask?

AI search visibility sits next to SEO and ads. It does not replace them.

To track your brand in AI search, ask each assistant the questions your buyers ask. Log whether you appear and which competitors do. Done manually, this is slow, and answers vary between prompts.

How the AI-Commerce Index™ Works

BrandKyte built the AI-Commerce Index™ to score AI visibility for e-commerce with the same benchmark we use on the brands we manage. It works as an AI visibility index across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and TikTok Shop.

  1. Measure: We collect signals from your listings, content, ads, reviews, and operations, and test how AI assistants describe your brand. This is your AI visibility analysis.
  2. Score: Each of the six categories gets a score from 0 to 100. We weight them into one AI visibility score.
  3. Act: You get a ranked 90-day roadmap.

Together, the three steps form an AI readiness audit.

Searching for the best search visibility checker? Ask three questions. Does it test real AI assistants? Does it score content, reviews, and ads? Does it say what to fix first? The Index was built to answer yes to all three.
