AI is becoming the new search engine for shopping. FoundRate checks whether ChatGPT and Google's AI recommend your brand for the searches that matter. If they don't, we identify the competitors that do and give you actionable recommendations to increase your chances of being featured in future AI responses.
Millions of shoppers now start with "what should I buy?" in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI. The AI names a few stores as the answer. If it never names yours, you're invisible for that sale, and you'd never even know it happened.
FoundRate turns your products into the real buying questions shoppers type, like "best ceramic dripper under $50," and asks the AI, just like a customer would.
Did the AI recommend you? At what position? Who got recommended instead? You see it all in one simple Found Rate score.
No jargon. Exactly which product needs a better description, more images, or a clearer category, so the AI starts picking you.
It has 40 characters. AI can't recommend what it can't understand. Add material, size, and who it's for.
No category means AI filters skip you on "best coffee dripper" questions.
One image reads as low-trust. AI favors well-documented products.
Fix those, and the next time a shopper asks, the AI has every reason to recommend you.
AI-driven shopping is one of the fastest-growing ways people discover products. Being the store the AI recommends is becoming the new front page of Google, except almost no merchant is optimizing for it yet. That's the window.
Install in one click from the Shopify App Store. No developer, no setup.
SEO gets you into Google's blue links. FoundRate is about being the store an AI assistant names when a shopper asks it what to buy. It's a new, less crowded channel, and the signals that win it (clear product data, structured info) are things you control.
No, and it's important to understand why. AI shopping tools re-check stores every few days to a few weeks, not instantly. After you apply fixes, give it about a week before expecting movement. Your Pro plan re-scans automatically and alerts you when your visibility improves.
No. FoundRate installs in one click and reads your products automatically. Every fix is written in plain English you can apply yourself in Shopify admin.
Read-only access to your product catalog, nothing more. We don't touch customer data, orders, or your storefront. Least-privilege by design.
No one honestly can. AI recommendations depend on many factors. What we can do is show you precisely where you're invisible and the concrete, high-impact changes that make you the obvious pick. We measure it so you're never guessing.
It takes 60 seconds and it's free. You'll know exactly where you stand, and what to do about it.
