AI visibility programs for mid-market ecommerce brands. We build the review signal, brand mentions and earned media that get you cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and AI Overviews — paired with the product and category structure that lets an assistant recommend a specific SKU. Run as a scoped program against a specific gap, or as an ongoing engagement.

"What's the best X for Y" used to open ten tabs. Now it returns one answer naming three or four brands, and everything outside that set is invisible regardless of where it ranks. Assistants build those answers from review platforms, editorial roundups, community threads and retailer comparisons — almost never from the brand's own product page, because a product page usually asserts quality rather than evidencing it.
The structural half of the problem is that most catalogues are built for browsing, not for answering. Attributes live in variant dropdowns and image-based size charts. Category pages are grids with a paragraph of copy underneath. There is nothing in either an assistant can lift and attribute to a specific SKU.
Fixing the structure makes you citable. Fixing the signal makes you recommended.


We run the buying prompts your shoppers actually use — "best X for Y", comparison, alternative and use-case queries — across ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, and show you which brands get recommended instead of you and which sources those answers are built from.
Two shapes, the same work underneath. A scoped program targets a specific, named gap against a fixed price and a defined outcome. An ongoing Managed AEO/SEO engagement keeps content, mentions, technical fixes and reporting running month over month. The report tells you which one your gap actually calls for — and most teams move between the two as coverage builds.
Depending on the findings: restructuring product and category pages so attributes, use cases and comparisons are extractable; building review volume and brand mentions on the platforms the answers actually cite; earning the editorial roundups and community presence that carry weight on purchase queries. Whichever shape you pick, you get a line-by-line report every month of exactly what shipped.
AI Overview citations earned
Organic skincare brand absent from AI answers. AEO, content, link building and digital PR earned 121 AI Overview citations and 82 ChatGPT citations, alongside a 61% lift in organic revenue per day.
CRO + Content increase in ecommerce conversion rate
Reagent and assay ecommerce catalogue. A web design and conversion programme lifted ecommerce conversion rate 51%, revenue 19% and time on page 57%.
Managed AEO/SEO increase in organic traffic
Automotive parts catalogue with deep technical inventory. Technical and on-page SEO plus UX consulting took the store to more than 8,000 ranked keywords.
keywords ranked in the top three
Specialist automotive retailer. Site build, content, paid and SEO work produced 500 top-three keywords across a 9,000-keyword footprint, and the business was subsequently acquired.
I hit the jackpot when I hired Digital Elevator for their SEO services. They are truly Search Engine Optimization experts. My revenue doubled in two months, which easily covers the cost of the monthly service.
What was initially some service page sales copy led to evaluations into our overall sales cycle and how content and email opt-ins through white papers and our revenue calculator tool could be leveraged to generate more leads.
Digital Elevator worked with my budget, put a plan in place, and their team of SEOs, web developers, and writers is second to none. My website traffic is growing consistently and the sales and leads generated are providing us the opportunity to expand.
Every engagement opens with a free AI Visibility Report. From there the work targets whichever signals the report surfaces — on-site fixes, off-site signal building (brand mentions, community presence, links from earned media), or both. You can take that as a scoped program aimed at one named gap, or as an ongoing Managed AEO/SEO engagement that also carries content production, technical work and monthly reporting. Either way you get a line-by-line report of everything shipped.
It depends which shape you take. A scoped AI Visibility program runs three months to a defined outcome and then ends. Managed AEO/SEO runs on a 12-month engagement, because search and AI visibility compound and a program judged on its first quarter gets steered toward vanity metrics instead of the pages that drive pipeline — with a 30-day cancellation notice and no early-termination fee if it genuinely is not working. Exact terms are set out in your proposal before you sign.
No, and any agency that says it will is selling volume rather than outcomes. We work at the category and hero-product level, because that is where buying prompts land. "Best moisturiser for sensitive skin" is answered from a category and a handful of named products, not from a long-tail SKU. We fix the template so the pattern applies across the catalogue, then prove it on the categories that matter most.
It sits alongside it. Classic ecommerce SEO targets rankings and paid targets clicks; both still matter. This program targets whether an assistant names your brand when it answers the buying question, which is increasingly decided before a shopper ever reaches a results page.
A meaningful amount, which is why we treat it as part of the work rather than someone else's problem. Assistants build purchase answers heavily from review platforms and editorial roundups. Part of the program is building presence and volume on the specific surfaces your answers are being cited from, which the report identifies.
Yes. The on-site work is structural — product schema, extractable attributes, comparison content, category copy that answers a question — and every major platform supports it. Headless builds usually give us the most room; template-locked themes occasionally need a developer, which we will flag in the report.
That is common and it means the assistant often cites the marketplace and your brand appears second-hand. Part of the work is making your own product page the more citable source for your own product — better structured, more specific and better corroborated than the listing.
Initial lift typically becomes measurable in the weeks following the first placements and on-site fixes, as pages reindex and assistants begin pulling from them. Broader coverage across buying queries extends over the following months as review and mention signal accumulates.
Yes. Most ecommerce clients have an in-house team running merchandising, email and paid. We focus on the AI visibility layer specifically — the structure and the off-site signal that decide whether you get named in the answer.
