AI Visibility Checker for Shopify

AI Visibility Checker for Shopify is a free web tool from Shopkeeper SEO that shows Shopify store owners whether leading AI assistants recommend their shop when shoppers ask buying questions. You enter your Shopify store address and email, and the checker asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity three questions a customer would ask before buying what you sell. It then emails a report showing who the assistants recommended, whether your store was named, and the exact words used. The tool is designed for Shopify merchants who want a clear, practical snapshot of how visible their store is in AI-generated shopping answers. Shoppers increasingly ask AI assistants what to buy. When someone asks ChatGPT for the best gift, cleaner or candle, the assistant names a handful of shops and the conversation usually ends there. If your shop is not one of those names, you do not get a look in. The checker addresses that problem by showing Shopify merchants what the assistants actually say today. The website notes that AI assistants pick the shops whose pages answer the question best, so visibility is something store owners can change rather than a fixed ranking. The free report makes that starting point concrete. The checker covers four AI assistants: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. It asks each assistant the same three questions, with web search switched on, and behaves as a shopper in your country would. That country-specific, web-search-enabled approach is intended to show the answers your customers actually get. Because every assistant receives the same three questions, the report gives a comparable view across platforms and highlights whether different assistants name different shops. The result is a score out of 12 answers in total, making it easy to see how often your store appears across the four assistants and three questions. Questions are not generic. The checker reads your shop's homepage to understand what you sell and who you sell to, then writes three questions a customer would ask just before buying what you sell, such as what is the best natural cleaner for quartz worktops in the UK. The questions never mention your brand, because real shoppers do not. This makes the test closer to a genuine buying conversation and helps reveal whether your store appears for the kinds of prompts customers actually use. The homepage reading also means the checker never needs access to your store. The emailed report shows the real answers word for word. It includes your score out of 12 answers, the shops AI recommends instead of you, and every question with each assistant's own words. In the example report for a UK cleaning products shop, ChatGPT and Claude did not name the store and recommended other products, while Perplexity named the store for a refillable eco cleaning spray subscription question. The report marks whether each assistant named you or did not name you, so you can scan results quickly. This exact wording is useful because it shows not just whether you were absent but which alternatives the assistants chose. The process takes three steps and about five minutes. First, the checker reads your shop's homepage to learn what you sell and who you sell to, without needing access to your store. Second, it asks four AI assistants three customer questions each, with web search on. Third, it sends the report by email, showing who they recommended, whether it was you, and the exact words they used. The checker is free, requires no sign up and no card, and uses your email only to send the report unless you opt in to SEO tips and launch news. The checker is explicitly a snapshot, not a ranking. AI answers change from day to day and person to person, so the report shows exactly what the assistants said when the questions were asked. That makes it useful as a point-in-time diagnosis rather than a permanent score. For Shopify merchants, the benefit is seeing whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend their shop, which shops they recommend instead, and how those assistants phrase their answers. The website also states that AI assistants search the web before answering and quote the clearest, most trusted pages, and that pages answering the exact questions customers ask with real product facts are what get a store named. Concrete use cases include checking whether ChatGPT recommends a Shopify store when a shopper asks what to buy, identifying the shops AI assistants recommend instead, and reviewing the exact words each assistant uses. A merchant can see the three generated buying questions and the 12 answers, then understand where their store appears or does not appear. For ongoing tracking, the paid Shopkeeper SEO app asks 12 questions every month so store owners can see the trend. Shopkeeper SEO also writes and publishes articles in the merchant's voice that answer these questions and checks every month who AI names, connecting the free checker to an ongoing visibility workflow. The free checker is only for Shopify stores, because Shopkeeper SEO is a Shopify app and the team prefers to spend the cost of each report on shops it can help. It is a web tool with no sign up and no card required. The report arrives by email in about five minutes. The paid app, Shopkeeper SEO, is the Shopify app that gets stores found on Google and in AI answers, and it asks 12 questions every month for trend tracking. The checker itself is free, while the ongoing article writing and monthly checks are part of Shopkeeper SEO's paid offering as described on the site. Overall, AI Visibility Checker for Shopify gives Shopify merchants a free, fast and concrete way to see whether leading AI assistants recommend their store for real buying questions. By showing the assistants' exact answers, the other shops they name instead, and a score out of 12, it turns an otherwise invisible AI shopping conversation into a useful snapshot that store owners can review and track over time.
