Get your Shopify store ready for Google and AI shopping.
Sphen.ai scans products, collections, and pages, drafts concrete improvements, and writes approved changes back to Shopify. You review every change and can undo it at any time.
How Sphen.ai works
- Find concrete gaps. Audit products, variants, collections, pages, and storefront signals for issues that limit search and AI visibility.
- Get changes ready. Receive field-level drafts with the reason, risk, current value, and proposed improvement.
- Stay in control. Edit, approve, apply, and revert supported Shopify changes from one reviewable workflow.
Review and writeback
Nothing changes in Shopify without your approval. Sphen.ai shows the current value, the proposed change, its reason, and its risk. Edit or approve the draft, write it back to Shopify, and revert it when needed. The workflow: Sync, Audit, Draft, Review, Apply, Measure. With opt-in Autopilot, chosen change types apply automatically under brand guardrails with rules and exclusions per change type, and everything stays revertible.
AI visibility
Measure whether AI can find and recommend your products. Track buying prompts, mentions, citations, sentiment, competitors, and browser checks verified in a real browser. Sphen.ai also tracks off-site mentions and turns the sources AI answers cite into a Digital PR outreach list. See where your store appears and which gap to fix next.
Measured impact
After your first applied change, Sphen.ai measures 14 days before and after each action and reports the verdict — improved, worse, or no measurable movement — based on tracked visibility and prompt runs, not on assumptions.
What Sphen.ai does
One Shopify workflow from issue to measurable improvement: audit catalog and storefront signals, draft product and collection copy plus SEO titles, meta descriptions, blog articles, FAQs, and Shopify translations with push and revert, apply approved changes with an audit trail and revert, automate routine change types with brand guardrails, and measure visibility with buying-prompt tracking, Search Console, and GA4 data.
What each part of Sphen.ai does
Get started
Sphen.ai mirrors your Shopify catalog, audits every product, collection and page for the signals search engines and AI assistants rely on, and drafts the missing content. Setup is mostly automatic: the moment you install, it starts reading your catalog, writing the questions buyers ask AI, asking the AI engines about your store and auditing every product. You confirm your brand profile along the way. Guide: Getting started.
Recommendations
Every proposed change waits here for your decision. Sphen.ai shows the evidence, the current value and the drafted replacement side by side; nothing reaches your storefront until you press Apply. Open holds the highest-impact picks and the full approval table with bulk actions. History keeps everything already applied, each change with a Revert button and a live-on-store check. Guide: Reviewing and applying recommendations.
Content
Blog builds an article plan from your own catalog — product types, collections, brands and coverage gaps — writes drafts in the background and publishes approved ones to a Shopify blog. FAQs drafts question-and-answer pairs that can be published to your storefront as a visible block plus matching structured data. Every draft carries Quality, SEO and GEO scores before you publish. Guide: Content: blog planner and FAQs.
AI visibility scans
A scan asks real buyer questions to the AI engines your customers use and records whether your store appears in the answer, where it ranks, and which other domains got cited instead. One full scan covers five buyer prompts across five AI engines. Results land in the Rankings, Prompts and Sources deep dives, and some prompts are re-checked in a real browser session. Guide: AI visibility scans.
Analytics
Analytics answers whether AI assistants cite you: visibility score and share of voice per engine, with Search Console clicks and, once connected, GA4 sessions underneath. Session and revenue tiles fill once Shopify approves access to protected customer data. Where the AI Shopping tab is switched on for a store, it adds per-product readiness and the prices AI quotes. Guide: Analytics.
Plans
Three plans, billed through Shopify. Pick a tier by catalog size and cadence. Essential includes a 14-day free trial; Business and Growth do not.
- Essential, $25 per month. 3 AI visibility tests per month, 5 AI models, 10 tracked prompts, 20 product audits per month, 5 blog posts per month, 3 action plan runs per month, and 2 AI agent configs per month. 14-day free trial.
- Business, $109 per month. 8 AI visibility tests per month, 5 AI models, 20 tracked prompts, 100 product audits per month, 20 blog posts per month, 8 action plan runs per month, 8 AI agent configs per month, and 25 collection audits per month.

Subscriptions are handled by Shopify: choosing or changing a plan finishes on Shopify's page, the charge appears on your Shopify invoice, and you cancel any time from your Shopify admin. Beyond Growth, the Managed option has an agency team run the whole program; it is priced individually and billed outside Shopify. Details: Plans and billing.
Is Sphen.ai right for your store?
Sphen.ai fits Shopify stores whose team wants to review every change before it goes live and measure whether AI assistants name the store.
A good fit when
- Your catalog has gaps: missing descriptions, empty alt text, absent brand or GTIN fields, or structured data AI assistants cannot read.
- You want to know whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot or Google AI Overview name your store, and which domains get cited instead.
- You want every change drafted with evidence, applied only after your approval, and revertible from the history.
Not a fit when
- Your store does not run on Shopify. Sphen.ai installs only from the Shopify App Store.
- You want rankings, citations, traffic or revenue promised in advance. Search and AI systems stay outside Sphen.ai's control.
- You want fully hands-off publishing without review. Automatic applying is a private beta on the Growth plan; for a team that runs the whole program for you, the Managed option is priced individually.
Questions Shopify teams ask before connecting Sphen.ai.
What does SPHEN.AI actually change?
Sphen.ai audits products, variants, collections, pages, SEO fields, structured data, and storefront signals. It prepares field-level drafts for supported Shopify content, but nothing is written back until a merchant reviews and approves it.
How is this different from a traditional SEO tool?
Traditional SEO tools focus mainly on rankings, keywords, links, and technical pages. Sphen.ai connects those storefront fundamentals with buying questions, AI mentions, citations, competitors, and browser observations, then turns relevant gaps into reviewable Shopify changes. It also tracks off-site mentions and turns the sources AI answers cite into a Digital PR outreach list.
Does Sphen.ai publish changes automatically?
Only if you turn it on. By default, drafts remain editable and separate from live Shopify content until a merchant reviews and approves them. With Autopilot, specific change types can be applied automatically — you choose which, brand guardrails validate every draft, an activity log records every change, and everything can be reverted.
What does AI visibility measurement include?
Sphen.ai tracks buying prompts, product and brand mentions, citations, per-product sentiment, competitor visibility, and browser checks verified in a real browser. Each observation stays connected to the question and evidence that produced it.
How do I know an applied change actually helped?
After your first applied change, Sphen.ai measures 14 days before and after each action and reports the verdict — improved, worse, or no measurable movement — based on tracked visibility and prompt runs, not on assumptions.
Can Sphen.ai create content as well as optimize the catalog?
Yes. Sphen.ai plans and drafts catalog-driven articles from product coverage and visibility gaps. Content follows the same review-first workflow before Shopify publishing.
Does Sphen.ai generate an agents.md or AI-readiness file?
Yes. Sphen.ai drafts a store-specific agents.md AI-readiness file from your catalog and storefront data. You review and publish it yourself. Sphen.ai never publishes the file or modifies your theme.
Does Sphen.ai show AI-driven revenue?
Yes. Sphen.ai attributes Shopify orders and revenue to the AI assistant that led to them (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot), using your store's own first-party Shopify order data. It is reviewable without connecting GA4.
Does Sphen.ai publish AI shopping product feeds?
Yes. Sphen.ai prepares AI-provider product feed exports: an OpenAI shopping feed, a Google Merchant-style feed, a schema.org JSON-LD bundle, and an llms-products.txt file. Each export includes coverage stats and is ready for you to publish.
What does Sphen.ai cost?
Three plans, billed through Shopify: Essential at $25 per month, Business at $109 per month, and Growth at $219 per month. Each plan lists its AI visibility tests, AI models, tracked prompts, product and collection audits, blog posts, action plan runs, and AI agent configs. The Plans and billing help page lists every quota and cadence.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, on Essential only: a 14-day free trial. Business and Growth start without a trial. You can cancel any time from your Shopify admin.
Who runs Sphen.ai day to day?
You do, from your Shopify admin: review the recommendations, apply the ones you approve, and check the results in Analytics. Sphen.ai is a product of Commerce Labs GmbH. If you want an agency team to run the whole program for you, the Managed option covers that and is priced individually.
Does Sphen.ai guarantee rankings or AI recommendations?
No. Search and AI systems remain outside Sphen.ai's control. Sphen.ai improves the clarity, completeness, and reviewability of the product evidence those systems can use and measures observed visibility over time.
