# What We Do

> How The Search Company optimizes your AI visibility

## Improving Recommendations

1. **Create Your AI Website (One-Time)**

   * We create an AI-optimized version of your Shopify website
   * Hosted on the same domain via DNS and CloudFront (e.g., `yoursite.com/ai/`)
   * Includes llms.txt and structured Q\&A pages

2. **Update Your AI Website (Daily)**

   * We check your Shopify Store for changes
   * If anything changed, we rebuild your AI website
   * Keeps your AI content fresh and accurate

3. **Create AI Articles (One-Time)**

   * We generate **1,000 AI-optimized pages** after signup
   * Every title is a question users actually search for
   * Articles are distributed across all your products

4. **Update All Pages with Fresh Timestamps (Daily)**

   * We update timestamp metadata on ALL pages (AI site + AI articles)
   * Updates HTTP headers (Last-Modified, ETag), meta tags, year in titles
   * Adds visible changelog blocks and "Last updated" footers
   * Signals freshness to AI search engines and crawlers

5. **Create Initial Product List, Product Prompts & LLM TXT Files (One-Time)**

   * We generate at least 5 prompts per product with a minimum of 50 total initially
   * Later, we check 10 prompts per day as a sampling strategy for your visibility score

6. **Discover New Products, Create New Product Prompts, & LLM TXT Files (Daily)**

   * We check your Shopify Store for any new products via our detect-changes service
   * If new products are found, we add them to your account
   * We generate 5 prompts per new product for visibility tracking
   * We create dedicated `/llms/{product-slug}.txt` files for each product

7. **Submit AI Website Pages to Google Search Console (Daily)**

   * Runs in BATCH 3 (after all content is deployed)
   * Aggregates changed URLs from BATCH 1 + new AI articles from BATCH 2
   * Resubmits sitemaps after new content is deployed
   * Ensures visibility in Google AI Overviews (Google does not support IndexNow)

8. **Submit AI Website Pages to IndexNow (Daily)**

   * Runs in BATCH 3 (after all content is deployed)
   * We submit URLs to IndexNow for:
     * AI website updates (changed pages from BATCH 1)
     * New AI articles (from BATCH 2)
   * Instant notification to Bing, Yandex, and other IndexNow-compatible engines

## Tracking Recommendations

9. **Track those Prompts Across 8 AI Platforms (Daily)**

   * We sample 10 prompts per day from your total pool (untested prompts first)
   * We check visibility across 8 AI platforms:
     * ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, Google AI
   * Results use pass/fail paradigm (✓ = visible, ✗ = not visible, - = not tested)
   * Tested prompts appear first in the UI

10. **Track AI Bot Recommendations (Continuous)**

    * We track every time an AI bot visits your AI-optimized site
    * Each visit = 1 AI recommendation (a bot crawling your content to potentially recommend you)
    * We identify which AI platform visited: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, Google AI
    * This is different from prompt tracking — recommendations measure actual bot activity on your site

## Research Agent

11. **AI Research Assistant (Continuous)**

    * Chat with Abra, our AI assistant specialized in business research
    * Abra has context about your business and competitors
    * Ask questions about your market, competitors, or industry trends
    * Abra can search the web in real-time for current information
