Here are some dainty 14k gold filled birthstone necklace recommendations from Etsy:
Three real shops recommended. The audited shop was not among them.
Verbatim excerpt from a recorded audit response · shop names redacted
That’s the protocol every single audit runs — and the answer above is a real recorded response, not marketing copy. Shop names redacted.
The report
What lands in your inbox reads like an intelligence briefing on your shop.
It opens with your AI Visibility Score and a verdict in plain English — the answer to the only question that matters: when buyers ask, do the engines recommend you?
Then it shows the proof. The real questions we asked, the answers the engines gave, the shops they named instead of yours — engine by engine, listing by listing, down to the exact dimensions where your listings lose.
And it ends with the fix: a 5-day action plan that starts with your weakest listings and tells you what to change, day by day — and when to re-audit to measure the change.
- 01 Your score + plain-English verdict
- 02 The questions we asked + answers, word for word
- 03 The shops recommended instead of you
- 04 Listing scorecard — 5 live signals each
- 05 Your 5-day prioritized action plan

Run an auditGenerative engine optimization for Etsy — and why 2026 changed it
Etsy SEO gets your listings found inside Etsy search. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the next layer: being the shop an AI names when a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini for “a handmade gift for a new mom” instead of typing keywords. The engines answer with specific shops and listings — and 2026 is when that stopped being hypothetical for Etsy sellers. This audit measures where you stand on that layer, shop by shop.

Etsy in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode: what buyers can do now
OpenAI announced Instant Checkout in September 2025 with Etsy as an early US partner, then pulled native in-chat checkout in March 2026 — moving to a discovery-first model that sends shoppers to the merchant to buy.
TechCrunch / CNBC · March 2026
Etsy’s own help center documents buying Etsy items through ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Copilot (US shoppers, guest checkout); Google added checkout to Gemini and AI Mode in January 2026.
Etsy Help Center · January 2026
On May 5, 2026, Etsy launched a native app inside ChatGPT — shoppers tag @Etsy and browse, compare and click through its 100M+ listings in plain language (beta).
TechCrunch / Etsy Newsroom · May 5, 2026
On its Q2 2026 earnings call (August 2026), Etsy said “agentic” AI traffic is still under 1% of total visits — but grew roughly 15x year over year and arrives with higher intent and a higher average order value.

How we measure: two honest numbers
Your report leads with two figures, and we’re precise about what each means. Etsy Presence Rate is the share of the 55 buyer questions where an engine cites any Etsy link at all — how often AI points buyers to Etsy in your niche. Your Visibility Within Etsy is, of those Etsy citations, how many name your shop or a listing of yours. When no engine cites Etsy for your niche, we say so rather than inventing a zero. That’s the whole method — real recorded answers, counted, never estimated.
Questions sellers ask us
What is GEO — and why should I care?+
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is SEO for AI answers. When a buyer asks ChatGPT for "the best personalized gift for a new mom", the AI answers with specific shops. GEO is the practice of being one of them. Etsy SEO gets you found on Etsy; GEO gets you recommended everywhere buyers ask AI.
How is this different from eRank or other Etsy SEO tools?+
Those tools measure how you rank inside Etsy search. This audit measures something they can’t see at all: whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini actually recommend your shop when buyers ask — with Claude as an independent judge. It’s a different battlefield — and right now almost nobody is fighting on it.
What if my score is terrible?+
Then the audit just paid for itself. A low score means AI engines are sending your buyers to competitors — and the report shows you exactly which listings are invisible, why, and what to fix in the next 30 days. You can’t fix what you can’t see.
How often should I run it?+
Monthly. AI answers shift as engines update and competitors improve their listings. That’s why Pro and Agency plans include one free audit every month — run it, apply the fixes, and measure the change in your next report.
Is there a free version?+
Yes. The free AI Visibility Check reads your shop and asks ChatGPT a few buyer questions to show whether it surfaces you — in about 30 seconds, no account and no card. The full $14.99 audit goes far deeper: 55 questions across three engines, every answer recorded, competitors named, and a per-listing scorecard.
Which AI engines do you actually query?+
Three web-connected search engines — ChatGPT’s search model, Perplexity, and Gemini (Google-grounded) — are queried live with 55 real buyer questions, and every answer is recorded word for word. Claude reads the results as an independent judge; it isn’t counted as a live shopping engine.
Do you need access to my Etsy account?+
No. You give us your shop URL, nothing else — no Etsy login, no permissions, and nothing on your shop changes. We only read what’s already public.
How is this different from Ahrefs, Semrush or other AI visibility checkers?+
Those are built for brands with their own website — they measure how a domain shows up in AI answers. An Etsy shop doesn’t have a domain; AI engines cite etsy.com, so a domain checker can’t see you at all. This audit is built for Etsy specifically: it detects your Etsy handle and listing IDs in real answers, and names the Etsy shops recommended instead of you.
What does Pro include?+
Pro and Agency include one full AI Visibility Audit every month at no extra cost (extra audits are $9.99), alongside the rest of ListifyAI — listing generation, keyword research, Shop Audit and more. Without a subscription, a one-off audit is $14.99.
Can I re-run it?+
Yes — and it’s designed for that. Each new audit compares against your last one for the same shop, so you can apply the 5-day plan, re-run in about 30 days, and see the trajectory rather than a one-time snapshot.
Most of your competitors don't know this exists yet.
Find out what AI says about your shop — before they do.
