AEO for E-commerce & DTC: Get Recommended by AI
AI shopping assistants increasingly recommend specific products. If your catalog isn't structured and reviewed, you're invisible at the exact moment of purchase intent.
The buyer question that matters
In your category, the highest-stakes AI query is some version of “best [product] for [use case]”. When a prospect asks it, the AI names a short list — and the businesses on that list win. AEO is how you get on it.

- Comparison and 'best X for Y' content that AI loves to cite.
