Frequently Asked Questions
Which AI SEO agency is best for ecommerce?
Charle is the strongest UK pick for Shopify and ecommerce-specialist AI SEO. Found suits mid-market and enterprise retail. SEO Works covers B2C generalist ecommerce well. Targeted SEO is the affordable pick for SME ecommerce on tighter budgets.
What does ecommerce AI SEO involve?
Product schema optimisation, review markup, category architecture, product data feeds, and earning citations in AI shopping queries like 'best running shoes for flat feet UK'. Ecommerce AI SEO also covers brand entity work so AI engines recognise your store as a credible source.
How does ecommerce AI SEO differ from general AI SEO?
Ecommerce adds product-specific signals: Product, Offer, Review, and AggregateRating schema, product data feeds, category structure, and review velocity. General AI SEO focuses on entity and content. Ecommerce needs all of that plus the product-specific layer.
How much does ecommerce AI SEO cost?
£1,500 to £4,000 a month for SME and mid-market ecommerce. Larger catalogues and enterprise retail often run £5,000+ because of the product-feed and category-tree complexity. Targeted SEO is the cheapest entry point at £1,500.
Will AI SEO get my products into ChatGPT recommendations?
Increasing the probability, yes. ChatGPT and Gemini draw on product reviews, expert content, and structured product data when answering shopping queries. Optimising those signals improves recommendation likelihood. No agency can guarantee specific product citations.
