Because this is similar in concept to SEO, we can’t provide a fixed, quantitative guarantee such as “installing this alone will increase XXX by Y%.” However, the app helps in the following ways:
It lets you clearly indicate the key pages you want AI to read (e.g., product information, FAQs, policies, etc.).
It provides AI with clean, well-structured data with less noise, making it easier to quote and summarize.
As a result, the sources referenced in AI-generated answers are less likely to vary, which can help reduce the risk of misunderstandings and incorrect citations.
We’ve also heard from multiple merchants who have implemented the app that their Shopify stores have started being recommended more often within AI tools, so it’s not that there is no effect.
That said, it’s generally not a case of “install it and you’ll see immediate results.” (In Japan, there are still relatively few people who use AI in everyday life.) Many merchants position this as a long-term investment for the AI era and as a way to improve information architecture.
