The shopping answer is the new shelf

When a buyer asks an assistant for the best running shoes under 120 euros, they get a shortlist, not a results page. Being absent from that shortlist costs the sale before any comparison happens. The e-commerce module applies the full Citeme loop, audit then optimize then monitor, to your catalog rather than to your marketing pages.

Catalog

GEO for your product catalog

The module starts by finding your catalog on its own. Platform detection runs live, the API is used when there is one, and a generic scraper takes over when there is not, so getting started does not depend on you exporting a clean feed first.

011

Automatic product import

Citeme detects your products straight from your site: Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento, or a generic extraction when the platform is something else. A manual feed can be added alongside, as a CSV or TSV file or a Google Merchant Center export, and every source syncs into the same catalog. When a platform is recognised but its automatic connection is not available yet, the interface says so and points you to the manual feed rather than failing silently. The import is what makes everything else possible. A product has to be in the catalog before it can be scored, audited against buying queries and tracked in AI shopping answers, which is why it runs without asking you to export anything by hand.

022

Suggested shopping keywords

Citeme reads the catalog and proposes the buying queries your products should be answering, instead of asking you to guess them. Those queries become the keywords the shopping audits run against, so the list you validate is the list the engines are actually questioned on. Each keyword is then followed over time. The dashboard counts the keywords for which at least one shopping audit reported your own citation, as opposed to a competitor's, against all the keywords audited. That ratio is more telling than a product count: it shows on which buying intents you already exist in AI answers, and on which ones a shopper asking an assistant never hears your name.

033

Shopping audit on buyer queries

The audit engine is the platform’s own, pointed at buying queries. Every prompt goes to the engines through their official APIs, and each answer is read three ways rather than flagged once. Mention detection works through NLP, so a paraphrase or a reference to your URL counts as much as your exact product name. Sentiment is classified as positive, neutral expert, negative or not relevant. And your ranking position is recorded whenever the model lists several options, which is the reading that matters most on a catalogue, because the score weights position explicitly: a primary recommendation counts 100 percent, a place in the top three 75, a contextual mention among other options 40, an incidental mention 15. Being named somewhere inside a shortlist of five is worth a fraction of being the recommendation. The prompt families are the documented ones, and two of the three are commercial by nature, comparative queries that name a rival and problem or solution queries describing what the buyer is trying to do. The region is simulated too, since the engines answer differently per market.

044

Google Merchant optimization loop

Once Google Merchant Center is connected by the owner of the organisation, Citeme syncs the processed products, imports their performance, impressions, clicks, conversions and click-through rate, and turns its findings into proposals you approve or reject. Nothing is written to Google by default. Publishing has to be enabled explicitly by the owner, goes through a supplementary data source named CiteMe that you link to your primary one, and each change is verified at Google and can be cancelled. Two limits are stated plainly. The integration is still awaiting Google's validation, and until it is granted Google blocks the connection for accounts outside its test list. And before and after performance comparisons are correlational, not proof that a change caused the result.

055

A rebuilt e-commerce audit page

GEO Score with its reasoning shown, share of voice, citations broken down by engine, and the trend over time rather than a single snapshot. Each product gets its own GEO score out of 100, a weighted average of six dimensions: description, identifiers, offer, title, image and category. A product counts as ready once it reaches 70, the level at which an AI can identify and recommend the listing, and the page shows its weakest dimension so you know what to fix first. Alongside, it counts the distinct products that ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity have already recommended during a shopping audit, which separates listings that are technically sound from listings the engines actually pick.

066

The Shopify connector, and what it cannot do yet

Shopify is the documented connector, and it is worth being precise about what exists today. You create a custom app in your Shopify admin, grant it three scopes and no more, write_products, write_content and read_themes, then paste the Admin API access token, the one beginning with shpat_, into the Shopify integration in your project settings and test the connection. That part works now. What does not exist yet is publishing. Four nodes are announced and none of them has shipped: creating a blog article in the store, rewriting a product description for the engines, optimising the tags and metadata on a product card, and injecting Product JSON-LD into product pages. The trigger that would fire a workflow when a product is modified follows the same timeline. So the honest position is this. You can connect the store now so that it is ready, the audit and the measurement work whether or not the nodes are there, and until they land the rewrite comes out of Citeme and goes into your own publishing flow.

How it works

Audit the catalog, not just the site

A classic GEO audit looks at pages. A catalog needs something else: the unit that wins or loses a citation is the product, and a store can have thousands of them. The module scores at that level, so you know which listings are already recommended and which never appear.

From there the work is ordinary e-commerce discipline applied to a new surface. Descriptions that state specifications plainly get quoted. Vague marketing copy does not. Price and availability that contradict your feed get repeated wrong by the engines, which is worse than being absent.

How it works

  1. 1

    Connect the catalog

    Citeme detects the platform and imports the products, through the API or a fallback scraper.

  2. 2

    Audit shopping queries

    Suggested buying keywords are run against the engines to see which products get recommended.

  3. 3

    Optimize and re-audit

    Rewrite the listings that lose, push the fix through Merchant, and watch the trend rather than a single score.

Good to know

No, and that is deliberate. Citeme detects your platform live and imports the catalog through the native API when one exists. When it does not, a generic scraper takes over and builds the product list from your storefront. The reason matters more than the convenience. Asking for a clean feed before anything can happen is how e-commerce SEO tools lose people in week one, because the feed is usually owned by a different team and takes days to produce. Starting from the store means you see a first audit the same day, and the feed work becomes an optimization rather than a prerequisite.
