A shopper asks
best paddle board for flat water
Do the answers name your brand?
OpenAI (GPT via API, web search)
For flat water, Brand A is the easiest first board: wide, stable and light to carry. Brand C costs less if you paddle a few times a summer.

Perplexity (Agent API, web search)
Most beginner guides start with Brand A and Brand B. Both are at least 32 inches wide, which matters most on day one.

Claude (API, web search)
I'd look at Brand B first: it's stable and comes with a pump and paddle. Brand A is the other board reviewers keep recommending.

Questions first? Email Jake, the founder: hello@ecomindex.ai
We read your store and the competitors you list at checkout, then write 20 questions a shopper would put to an AI assistant before buying. Jake reviews every one, and the set is frozen so a later run asks exactly the same questions.
Examples from different categories. Yours are written for your store.
These are answers from each engine's API, not a record of what every shopper sees in consumer apps, and answers change over time. The report says so, and shows every number as a count of real answers.
If you use Shopify's Agentic home or Merchant Center's AI insights, keep using them. The report adds the competitors named across up to three engines, the sources those answers cite, and the method behind every count.
Done for you
$1,750 a month
3-month minimum, then month to month.
We do the work that gives AI engines something to quote: pages that answer buyers' questions, guides for the comparisons they ask about, and disclosed pitches to the sites the answers cite.
Or write to hello@ecomindex.ai. Jake replies with times to talk.
In month 1 we agree your 20 questions and competitors, run a baseline report, and fix structured data and catalog feeds. Bought the $750 Playbook? It counts toward your first month if you start within 90 days.
We don't promise any AI mention, ranking, share or placement, coverage on another site, or traffic and sales. AI engines are run by other companies and change without notice. What we promise is the work listed here.
Today
Type your store URL and up to three competitors. A confirmation email follows, and you can reply within 24 hours to fix anything.
Within 2 business days
We write your 20 questions, ask each one three times on each engine, and Jake checks every brand count and the fix plan.
After delivery
Reply with any question about your report and Jake answers. Think something in it is wrong? We check it and correct it.
For the Playbook, you also add hello@ecomindex.ai to your Search Console as a restricted user, which reads your data and can't change it. The 2 business days start then.
Who does the work
Jake Ballard
Founder
Not exactly. The counts come from each engine's API with web search. Consumer apps can answer differently from one shopper to the next, so we don't claim to know what every shopper sees. The three ChatGPT app screenshots in each report show how the app answered on the day, labeled with the settings used.
No. Nobody controls what AI engines say. The retainer promises the work listed above, and every report shows the counts as they came back.
Everything in the $99 report, plus what the answers repeat from your top two competitors' pages, the sites worth pitching and who to approach, your own Search Console data, checks on what AI crawlers, product pages and catalog feeds show, and a 90-day plan of 30 to 50 changes. Each change says where it goes, how long it takes and whether it's meant to move AI answers, Google or both.
It's the only place your own Google data lives: the searches where your pages sit just off the top, and the pages shown often but rarely clicked. Restricted access lets us read it and never change anything, and you can remove it any time.
Google's terms for Gemini answers grounded in Google Search don't allow analyzing or reselling them, so we leave Gemini out. For Google, the retainer's Search Console summary includes AI Overviews and AI Mode impressions where Search Console reports them.
Shopify brands that sell things people research before they buy. The store has to be live and public, so a password-protected or prelaunch store can't be checked. If we can't analyze your store, you get a full refund.
For the report, your store URL and up to three competitors, typed at checkout. No login and no app to install.
Anyone with its private link, and no one else. The page isn't listed anywhere, search engines are told not to index it, and the link keeps working after a refund.
Yes. Engines update their models and the web changes. Every report is dated and names the model and settings each engine used, so a later run can be compared with it.
