Three things decide whether an assistant picks you
-
Found
AI agents shop from Shopify's global catalog. A product that is not in it is never an option.
-
Understood
Assistants compare specifics. A vague listing loses to one that spells them out.
-
Recommended
Being mentioned is not being picked. See which one you get, and who wins instead.

Questions merchants ask first
What do AEO and GEO mean?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) are the practice of preparing product listings so AI assistants and answer engines can quote and recommend them, in the way search engine optimization prepares pages for Google. Octolift measures that readiness per product and helps you improve it.
Does Octolift change my store on its own?
No. Scoring, the AI catalog checks, the ranking checks and the agentic sales figures are all read only. A product is only updated when you press Save, Apply category or Change category, or Apply all suggestions and confirm, and only the fields that change is about are written. Title and description changes can be undone from View changes on the Products page.
Does Octolift ask ChatGPT where my product ranks?
It asks them what they recommend, which is different from a fixed position. An AI ranking check puts your question to ChatGPT and Gemini and records the products they name and in what order, so you can see whether your store is among them and who wins if it is not.
What Octolift does not do is report a fixed position inside those assistants. A single API call answers differently from the consumer product, changes between runs and varies by country, so such a number would look precise while meaning nothing. Alongside the assistants it queries Shopify's global AI catalog, the catalog AI agents read through Shopify's agentic commerce tools, where a position is a real and repeatable thing.
Will the AI invent claims about my product?
It is instructed not to. A suggestion keeps every factual claim already in your listing and adds no materials, measurements, certifications or other facts that are not there. Category values are only picked when the title or description clearly supports them. Read a suggestion before applying it, as you would any copy.
Does it work with products in languages other than English?
Yes. Suggestions are written in the language of your existing listing, and the shopper questions used for ranking are written in the main language of the country being checked. The app interface itself is in English.
Is there a free trial?
There is a Free plan you can stay on for as long as you like. If the paid plan you pick comes with a trial, the Plan page shows when the trial ends and when the first charge is taken.
