GEO for ecommerce. Clean feeds, crawler access, and product facts machines can parse, so the answer is built from your store instead of about it. Start with the free scan.

Generative Engine Optimization at RMG

Summarised, not sourced

Your category.
Someone else’s link.

Generative engine optimization is the work of being the source an answer is assembled from. A store can be well known, well reviewed, and still never appear, because the engine could not lift a usable fact from it. Six reasons the citation goes elsewhere.

  1. The facts are on the page, but not in the text

    Dimensions in a spec image, materials in a tab that loads on click, compatibility in a PDF. An engine assembling an answer needs a sentence it can quote, and it will take one from a retailer that wrote it plainly.

  2. The feed and the page disagree

    Price, availability, and title differ between the product feed, the Product markup, and what the page renders. An engine that finds two answers to the same question trusts neither and cites a source that only gave it one.

  3. Nothing establishes who you are

    Without Organization markup, consistent sameAs links, and one spelling of the brand across the web, the model cannot resolve the entity. It falls back to a marketplace listing that carries your products under someone else’s name.

  4. The category page is a grid and nothing else

    A collection page with sixty tiles and no prose answers no question. The engine needs the criteria a shopper weighs, stated in the page, to use your category page as the source for a category question.

  5. Third-party sources say more about you than you do

    If the fullest description of your product is on a reseller, a review site, or a forum, that is what gets quoted, and the link goes there. Being outranked on your own facts is a content problem, not an authority problem.

  6. No one has asked the engines what they say

    GEO without measurement is a belief. Until the questions your buyers ask are run across the engines on a schedule and the cited domains are logged, there is no way to tell whether any of the work landed.

Generative engine optimization

Reachable. Readable. Quotable.

GEO in the order an engine meets your store: it has to reach the page, parse what is on it, believe the facts agree, and find them worth quoting. Four groups of work, in that order.

01 · Reachable

Let the engines in, per engine

Every answer engine runs its own crawlers and many stores block one by accident. Access is set per agent, on purpose, written down, and re-checked after every deploy.

  • robots.txt policy per agent

  • Server-rendered catalog and templates

  • llms.txt and a plain-language site brief

  • Sitemaps and freshness signals

02 · Readable

Product facts a machine can lift

The centre of GEO for a store. Every attribute a shopper asks about stated as text on the page, in the markup, and in the feed, saying the same thing in all three.

  • Attributes as text, not as an image

  • Product schema generated from the page data

  • Feed hygiene across every channel

  • Shipping, returns, and warranty in readable text

  • Reviews outside the widget

03 · Believable

One brand, one set of facts

Engines resolve entities and cross-check them. The job is to make every source that mentions you agree, so the model has no reason to prefer a marketplace listing over the store itself.

  • Organization and WebSite markup

  • sameAs and profile consistency

  • Markup validated in CI so it cannot drift

  • Category pages that state the criteria

04 · Measured

Ask the engines, on a schedule

The only honest GEO report. Your buyers’ real questions, run across four engines on a fixed cadence, with every cited domain logged and the trend shown either way.

  • Prompt set built from your buyers’ questions

  • Citation share and who is cited instead

  • AI referral revenue split out in GA4

What goes wrong

GEO done badly.
Avoided.

The term is new enough that a lot of what is sold as GEO is either ordinary SEO with a new invoice, or tactics that quietly cost you the sale. Four we see most.

  • Pages rewritten for the machine

    What it costs you

    Question headings stacked on question headings, every fact restated three ways. Citation share may move; conversion falls, because the page now reads like documentation instead of a reason to buy.

    What we do

    Answer-first, then the selling. The opening states the fact plainly for whoever is reading, and the rest of the page does the job it always did.

  • A feed nobody reconciles

    What it costs you

    The engine reads a price from the feed, a different one from the markup, and a third from the page. Conflicting facts are worse than thin ones: the source stops being quotable at all.

    What we do

    One source of truth rendered into all three, with a check in CI that fails the build when the page and the markup disagree.

  • Blocking the training crawler and losing the index

    What it costs you

    A robots.txt rule written to stay out of model training also removed the store from the index that feeds answers, because the two jobs use different agents and one line caught both.

    What we do

    Access decided agent by agent and documented: which crawlers index, which train, which you are refusing, with the trade-off stated before anyone signs it off.

  • GEO measured by a vanity score

    What it costs you

    A dashboard shows a visibility number that goes up and nobody can say which answer changed or which question it came from. The programme is optimised toward the tool rather than the buyer.

    What we do

    Citation share against a fixed prompt set, with the raw answers kept. When a number moves you can read the answer that moved it.

Scan first.
Then decide.

Paste your store’s address. In a few seconds you see which engines can reach it, whether the catalog is readable without JavaScript, what your structured data says about you, and what to fix first. No email needed.

  1. 1. Crawler access, engine by engine

    The verdict your robots.txt gives each agent, including the three OpenAI runs for different jobs.

  2. 2. Readable without JavaScript

    How much of the page a crawler that does not run scripts can read, and whether the product facts are in it.

  3. 3. Entity and product schema

    Organization, WebSite, Product, reviews, and policies, and whether the markup agrees with the page.

  4. 4. Catalog the agents can read

    Sitemap, product URLs, and a machine-readable catalog where the platform exposes one.

  5. 5. What to fix first

    Three findings, ordered by how much each moves the score, each with its measurement.

THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE -

Get them out
of the way.

GEO is the practice of making a site the source a generative engine builds its answer from. When a shopper asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or Google’s AI what to buy, the model assembles a reply from pages it can reach, parse, and trust, and links the ones it leaned on. GEO is the work that gets a store into that set: crawler access per engine, a catalog that renders without JavaScript, product facts stated as text and mirrored in markup and feed, entity signals that identify the brand, and measurement of what the engines actually say.
