Mention Network
Mention Network is a SaaS platform designed to monitor and improve how e-commerce stores appear in AI-generated recommendations. It specifically targets conversational AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Mode, where shoppers often ask where to buy products. The tool provides a visibility check to see if your store is mentioned, an in-depth audit of on-page signals that influence AI recommendations, a customized optimization plan, and one-click deployment of fixes directly within Shopify. This end-to-end solution helps merchants move from invisible to recommended in AI answers. The service offers a four-step process: Check (free), Audit (free), Plan, and Deploy. It evaluates over 40 signals across 4 areas to calculate a health score and pinpoint exactly why a product isn’t being picked by AI. The optimization plan is tailored to the specific store and product, rather than offering generic advice, and the fixes can be applied immediately from the Shopify admin with preview and approval, streamlining the workflow for busy merchants. Mention Network generates a Product AI Visibility Report that shows coverage across multiple AI engines, average ranking, competitor comparisons, and share of AI mentions. This data equips merchants with a clear understanding of their market position in AI-driven searches, highlighting lost sales opportunities and guiding strategic improvements. The tool is built precisely for the emerging field of LLM optimization (or AI SEO) for e-commerce, where traditional SEO rules do not directly apply. Mention Network is a paid solution, with the first product check and audit available for free without a credit card. It is specifically designed for Shopify stores and is available via the Shopify App Store, making it accessible to a wide range of e-commerce businesses looking to adapt their visibility strategies for the AI era.

Problem solved
Shoppers increasingly rely on AI assistants to ask where to buy products, and those AIs recommend specific stores. When an e-commerce store is not mentioned, it loses sales to competitors that are recommended. Mention Network helps merchants discover whether they are being recommended by major AI platforms, identifies the on-page and structural issues that prevent their products from appearing, and provides actionable, store-specific fixes to get recommended.
