Agentic commerce readiness for US brands and merchants

Make your brand ready for the agentic commerce era.

Shoppers are starting to tell an AI agent what they want and let it find, compare and buy. We make sure the agent finds you, understands you and can complete the sale.

If the agent can't find you, this is what your customer sees.

Requests are based on what shoppers in your state buy online. Change the state above.

For twenty years, buying online followed one path. AI agents are replacing it.

A shopper no longer searches, scrolls and compares. They say what they want, and the agent does the rest. Your products now need to make sense to a machine as well as a person.

The Agentology framework

Discoverable. Understandable. Recommendable. Transactable.

Four stages define agentic commerce readiness. Every audit scores all four, and every engagement moves you through them in order.

Stage 1

Discoverable

Can agents find your products for the things your customers actually ask for?

Stage 2

Understandable

Do they know what each product is, who it is for and when it is the right choice?

Stage 3

Recommendable

Is there enough information and trust for your product to be picked over a competitor's?

Stage 4

Transactable

Can the agent get from recommendation to a completed purchase without a person stepping in?

What we do

Four services. Start with the audit; the rest follow the roadmap it gives you.

Agentic Commerce Audit

How ready your brand, catalog and checkout are for AI-driven shopping, tested on the real questions your customers ask.

  • Readiness score across all four stages
  • Which competitors agents recommend instead
  • Your AI share of shelf, as a baseline

You get a score, the gaps and a prioritized roadmap.

Product and Catalog Optimization

Catalogs were built for websites and search engines. We enrich the product information so an agent knows what it is, who it is for and what it beats.

  • Taxonomy, attributes and specifications
  • Structured data and semantic descriptions
  • AI Product Passports for your key products

Agents understand your products the way your best salesperson does.

Agentic Commerce Integration

Being found is the start. We connect your commerce stack so an agent can move from recommendation to a completed order.

  • Product feeds, inventory and pricing access
  • Agent connectors and checkout pathways
  • Shopify, Salesforce, Adobe Commerce and custom stacks

Your existing platform, made agent-accessible. No replatforming.

AI Visibility Monitoring

Prompts change, competitors change, platforms change. We keep testing real buying journeys so your visibility is measured, not guessed.

  • Monthly prompt testing across agent surfaces
  • Visibility score and AI share of shelf
  • Competitor tracking and recommendation accuracy

A monthly read on how often agents recommend you, and why.

What an audit looks like

A readiness score, the requests where you are invisible, and what the agent recommended instead. This sample is anonymized from a client audit; the requests reflect what shoppers in your state buy online.

The pattern is typical. The brand is found for its own name and one flagship product, and missing for the everyday requests that drive most agent purchases. The roadmap fixed product attributes and structured data first, then checkout access.

Platforms keep changing. Your strategy shouldn't depend on one.

We build product intelligence and commerce access that work for whichever assistant your customer is talking to, and we re-test as new ones ship.
