The Revelancy Intelligence Protocol
How we get DTC Shopify brands recommended in AI search. Across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, and Claude.
Every decision carries documented reasoning, tied to research.
Backed by our Adaptive Research Engine.
Get recommended in
AI doesn't rank websites. It recommends products.
Four things decide whether AI recommends your products. We work all four.
AI synthesizes many signals to decide what to recommend. Any one of these can keep you invisible on its own.
Authority
When a customer asks AI in your category, AI weighs what other people say about you more than what you say about yourself. Publications, review sites, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, creators, entity databases. That's where AI's trust signal lives.
A competitor with a worse product and better press gets recommended over you. You never see this loss because it happens inside a conversation you're not part of.
What we ship: Your Brand Authority Playbook. Targets named across publications, communities, review platforms, creators, and entity sources, all ranked by measured citation impact, with contact research and outreach drafts ready for your team to send.
Content
The words on your site are what AI reads before deciding whether your product is worth recommending. Specific content qualities correlate strongly with AI citation. Patterns that read as typical marketing copy can hurt it.
What we ship: Optimized versions of your highest-impact on-site assets. Product pages, FAQs, Knowledge Base, comparison pages against your top competitors, and topical content that builds category authority. Every rewrite informed by the word patterns, phrasing structures, and content qualities that correlate with AI citation. We optimize within your brand voice and protect the terms driving your existing Google traffic. Each piece arrives as a finished file with a Decision Note showing exactly what changed and why.
Single-serve scoop blends spirulina, chlorella, and prebiotic fiber. Third-party tested. Third-party verified for heavy metals. NSF Certified for Sport. Ships in recyclable single-use sachets, no plastic tub.
Product Data
The feeds AI uses to find and sell your products. Your Shopify catalog, Merchant Center feed, product attributes, Knowledge Base structure.
ChatGPT and Google now build product recommendations straight from merchant product data. If your feed is missing attributes, you don't get served. Not "you rank lower." You don't appear.
What we ship: Full feed audit against what each of the five AI platforms reads. Fixed product attributes, Merchant Center configuration, Knowledge Base setup, and the agentic commerce attributes that position your catalog for AI-driven checkout as platforms roll it out.

Technical
Whether AI platforms can read your site at all. Crawler access, robots.txt, Cloudflare rules, sitemap status, schema markup. If a platform can't crawl your site, nothing else there matters.
Every major AI platform runs multiple crawlers, each with its own rules. ChatGPT and Claude run three each. Google AI runs two. Perplexity runs its own. Any one of them blocked means invisibility on that platform, regardless of how good your content and authority are.
What we ship: Full technical audit across all five platforms. Robots.txt and Cloudflare corrections, sitemap verification, production-ready schema code, meta tag specs, and deployment docs with pasteable code and step-by-step instructions, delivered only where you need them.

How we stay ahead of the platforms.
Most agencies build their playbooks around what was true when they learned it. They scramble when platforms change, or find out when scores drop.
We built something different.
Underneath the Protocol runs the Adaptive Research Engine. Hundreds of verified findings across six intelligence domains, every one graded by a four-tier confidence protocol before it can influence client strategy. Daily monitoring of platform behavior. Weekly research scanning across academic, industry, and platform-official sources. Monthly integration cycles that roll new findings into methodology. Emergency response when platforms announce major changes.
The ARE is why we can tell you what will work, what's untested, and what's noise. It's why your strategy adapts when AI shopping shifts. And it's why every deliverable you get from us is backed by evidence, not opinion.
Why AI picks one brand over another, and how to make sure it picks you.
Here's the part of AI visibility most brands ignore.
AI doesn't primarily trust what brands say about themselves. It trusts what publications, communities, review sites, creators, and entity databases say about them. When a customer asks ChatGPT "what's the best greens powder for gut health," the answer reflects the specific Wirecutter reviews, the specific Reddit threads, the specific YouTube videos, and the specific Wikidata entries AI synthesized into a picture of your category. Most brands have no idea what that picture says about them.
The Brand Authority Playbook maps that picture for your brand, then gives you the plan to reshape it. We handle the research and build the templates. Your team runs the plays we've sequenced.
Publication targets AI actually cites.
We identify the exact publications driving citations in your category, not generic PR lists. For priority targets, we do the contact research and draft the outreach so your team reviews and sends.
Reddit strategy where your customers actually are.
Reddit is one of the biggest AI citation sources for buying decisions, especially on ChatGPT and Perplexity. We map your category's Reddit landscape and build a sustained-presence plan, scoped to your brand's actual capacity to participate.
Reviews on the sites AI reads for your category.
AI weighs review platforms unequally. The priority platform in supplements is different from beauty or software. We identify which ones drive AI citations in your category and build the system to capture reviews on them.
Brand entity recognition.
Before AI recommends you, it has to understand who you are: what category, what products, which official profiles to trust. That identity lives in structured data sources AI reads. When those sources are incomplete or inconsistent, AI gets confused and stops recommending you confidently. Most brands have never audited this. We audit and fix it directly.
YouTube and creator strategy.
YouTube drives more AI citations than most marketing teams realize, and most brands under-invest. You get a channel plan and a creator outreach plan, both built from how AI actually cites video content in your category.
Comparison pages keyed to real AI queries.
Your customers are asking AI "X vs Y" before they buy. The brand with the best comparison answer gets intercepted at the decision moment. We tell you which "vs" pages to build, which competitors to name, and what to benchmark for your category.
No single play wins AI visibility. One article, one creator mention, one Reddit thread moves the probability of citation slightly. A portfolio across mediums compounds. That compounding is when AI starts treating your brand as an obvious answer in your category. The Playbook is engineered around that reality.
We build everything your team needs to run it. The retainer is where the Playbook stays current as AI citation patterns shift.

Why this matters now.
You already know. You use AI constantly. So do your customers, and they're doing it with their wallets open.
This isn't another channel to optimize. It's the new interface for how people research, compare, and decide what to buy. OpenAI went from nearly nothing to $25 billion in annual revenue in under three years. Anthropic passed them recently, tripling revenue in a single quarter. Adobe Analytics clocked a 693.4% jump in AI-referred retail traffic over the 2025 holiday season alone. Mainstream forecasts put AI agents at 10-25% of US ecommerce by 2030, and from what we track daily, those forecasts are conservative.
We've seen this shape before. Amazon in 2012. Google Shopping free listings in 2020. TikTok Shop before it went pay-to-play. Every time the infrastructure shifts, there's a stretch where early movers take organic territory and late movers pay multiples to compete for it. AI shopping is in that stretch right now, still mostly uncontested.
This is the loss your analytics can't see. Right now a customer is asking ChatGPT for a recommendation in your category. A product just got named. If it wasn't yours, there's no referrer, no session, no event in GA4. The loss is invisible by design.
What it costs.

What you keep, even if you stop
Everything the sprint builds stays yours. Feed configurations, schema code, Knowledge Base content, AI checkout setup, GA4 attribution, your Brand Authority Playbook. Permanent infrastructure. It keeps working whether you continue the retainer or not.
The retainer maintains the environment around it. Freshness signals shift. Platforms update. Competitors optimize and can displace you if you stop. The retainer is what keeps the gains compounding.
How we earn the work
AI visibility isn't simple. If you've been paying attention to this space at all, you already know. Platforms update without announcing it. What drove citations six months ago doesn't always work now.
No agency in this space can promise specific AI rankings. The people who do are lying. What we commit to is process, measurement, and currency. Your Blueprint is backed by research we can point to. Every deliverable has documented reasoning. Every month you get scores tracked against your baseline. And every piece of our methodology reflects what's working right now, not what worked when we learned it.
What buyers usually want to know.
Let's see if this fits.
25 minutes.
No pitch deck.
We walk through what AI is already saying about your brand and your top competitors, then scope what changing it looks like for your catalog. From what we track, the window is wider now than it will be again.
