AI Mention Rate
LLMs don't just guess what to recommend. They pull from the open web — and we control what they find about your app.
Contextual dofollow links from SaaS directories, ecommerce blogs, comparison posts, and developer resources that signal authority to both Google and AI models.
Unlinked brand mentions across forums, Reddit, Quora, Medium, podcasts, YouTube, and news sites. LLMs read these even without a hyperlink.
We optimize your digital footprint so AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini naturally surface your app when merchants ask for recommendations.
AI models don't have a "submit your app" button. They synthesize information from the open web. Here's exactly what signals they use — and how we influence each one.
LLMs are trained on web crawls. More high-quality backlinks = more training data containing your app name in relevant context. It's the #1 correlating factor for AI recommendations.
Your app name appearing across forums, Reddit, blogs, and news — even without links — creates semantic associations. LLMs learn "[your app] = best Shopify [category] app" from repeated co-occurrence.
AI models weight positive sentiment heavily. We strategically seed genuine reviews, testimonials, and case studies across third-party platforms that LLMs crawl for opinion mining.
Structured data, Wikidata entries, and consistent NAP (name, URL, description) across the web help LLMs build a confident "entity" for your app instead of treating it as unknown noise.
We optimize for every major AI platform

Every SEO agency is now pretending they understand AI discoverability. We've been doing it since 2023 — and we have the results to prove it.
AI mention monitoring included
We track exactly when and how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude mention your app — monthly.
Backlinks + mentions, not just backlinks
Most agencies ignore unlinked mentions. We know LLMs read them — so we build both.
Shopify-specific training data knowledge
We know which ecommerce blogs, directories, and forums are in LLM training data. We don't waste time on sites AI doesn't read.
Pay for performance
If we don't hit our promised link + mention targets, you don't pay. Simple.

LLMs like ChatGPT and Perplexity are trained on massive web crawls. When your app name appears on high-authority sites in context like "best Shopify review app" — through both backlinks and plain text mentions — the model learns that association. More high-quality co-occurrences = higher confidence that your app is a top answer. We essentially feed the training data that makes AI recommend you.
A backlink is a clickable hyperlink pointing to your site — it passes SEO authority (PageRank) and helps Google rankings. A brand mention is your app name appearing in text without a link — Google mostly ignores these, but LLMs absolutely read them. Reddit threads saying "I use [YourApp] for Shopify reviews" get crawled and influence AI recommendations even without any link. We build both because they serve different algorithms.
No one can 100% guarantee LLM outputs — they're probabilistic, not indexed. But we can guarantee the inputs: we promise specific numbers of backlinks, brand mentions, and entity optimizations. Across 340+ apps, 89% achieved measurable AI recommendations within 6 months. If we don't hit our link/mention targets, you don't pay for the shortfall.
We run systematic prompt queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini AI Mode, Claude, and Copilot every month — things like "What's the best Shopify app for [your category]?" We log whether your app appears, its position, and the sentiment. We also monitor Perplexity's source citations and Gemini's web references to see if your site is being cited directly.
Absolutely. The backlinks we build directly improve your Google rankings and Shopify App Store SEO. The brand mentions add indirect signals. Think of it as a two-for-one: every link and mention we build works for both traditional search engines AND AI models. Most clients see significant App Store ranking improvements within 60-90 days as a bonus.
An "entity" is how AI models represent real-world things — like your app — in their knowledge graph. If your app has consistent name, URL, and description across the web, plus structured data (Schema.org markup) and a Wikidata entry, LLMs build a stronger "entity" for it. Weak or inconsistent entity = AI treats your app as noise. Strong entity = AI confidently recommends it by name. It's included in Growth and Enterprise plans.
Perplexity and Gemini (which search the live web) can show results within 4-8 weeks as new backlinks and mentions get indexed. ChatGPT and Claude (which rely on training data) typically take 3-6 months as their models get updated. We've seen some apps get mentioned by ChatGPT in as little as 6 weeks, but we set expectations at 3-6 months for full AI coverage across all platforms.
Merchants are asking AI "what's the best Shopify app for..." right now. If your app isn't in the answer, you're losing installs to apps with worse features but better digital footprints.
