E-commerce operators can now fix their AI search visibility for £49/month. Early access sign-ups open at getsurfaced.co.uk.
Surfaced today launched its Shopify integration, bringing automated AI search visibility to the 2 million+ active Shopify merchants worldwide. The platform is the first tool to audit a Shopify store for AI search readiness, generate the fixes, and push them live — all without the merchant writing a line of code.
Early access is open now at getsurfaced.co.uk. Subscriptions start at £49 per month with full platform access.
The shift that Shopify merchants can feel but can’t fix
Consumer discovery is moving. Shoppers are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity for product recommendations before they open Google. “What’s the best sustainable skincare brand?” “Where do I buy quality homeware online?” The answers come back in seconds, and the brands cited in those answers capture the first conversation.
Most Shopify stores are absent from them entirely.
The signals AI engines use to decide which brands to recommend are fundamentally different from Google rankings: schema markup, entity recognition, structured product data, FAQ structure, and AI crawler permissions. Most e-commerce businesses have none of these in place. Until now, fixing them meant hiring an agency at £2,000 to £10,000 per month, or learning to write code.
What Surfaced for Shopify does
The platform connects to a Shopify store via OAuth and delivers three capabilities from a single dashboard:
Store Audit. Scans the theme, pages, and products across 39 AI visibility signals. Detects missing schema, FAQ markup, speakable data, llms.txt files, incomplete pages, and thin product data. Every issue flagged with severity and a recommended fix.
One-Click Product Fixes. Identifies thin descriptions, missing vendor data, and absent alt text across every product listing. One click generates new descriptions, SEO meta data, and alt text tuned to real buyer queries. The merchant reviews and one click pushes it live to Shopify.
Content Studio. Suggests blog topics based on the queries customers are actually asking AI assistants. Generates full articles with embedded FAQ schema and publishes directly to the Shopify blog.
A merchant can go from sign-up to their first fix live on their store in under five minutes.
Why no one else does this
Every existing SEO and AEO tool on the market ends at a checklist. Surfaced closes the loop. The platform doesn’t just tell a merchant what’s wrong — it generates the fix and pushes it live into the store.
The Shopify OAuth integration with write permissions to themes, products, pages, and blogs creates a technical moat. Competitors would need to build the same pipeline from scratch.
Democratising GEO for e-commerce
Paul Andrews, Founder of Surfaced, said: “Every Shopify merchant deserves the same AI search visibility that enterprise brands pay agencies thousands a month to build. We’re making it accessible at £49 a month without requiring a developer or any knowledge of schema markup. Install, connect, fix. That’s it.”
Andrews built Surfaced after working at the intersection of AI and consumer discovery, including involvement in integrating AI into browser products at Opera.
“The businesses that show up in AI search aren’t necessarily the best. They’re the ones with the right signals in place. We’re giving every Shopify merchant the tools to put those signals in place themselves.”
Platform and pricing
Surfaced for Shopify is available in early access at getsurfaced.co.uk.
Subscription: £49 per month — includes full platform access, Shopify store audit, product-level fixes, content studio, and AI search monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and the Brave Search index.
Surfaced also serves mid-market businesses through managed services and digital agencies through a white-label programme.
Expansion
WooCommerce and Webflow integrations are planned for Q3 2026. The audit and fix engine is platform-agnostic — each new integration requires only an API adapter while the 39-signal scoring framework and AI fix generation remain shared.
