For e-commerce & DTC brands · The AI shopping shift

Shoppers now ask AI what to buy. Is your product the answer?

"Best clean sunscreen for sensitive skin" is a ChatGPT conversation that ends in a purchase, from whichever brand the engine could actually read. We structure your catalog, reviews, and brand details so AI shopping surfaces recommend you. Your paid ads stop carrying the whole business.

Aday Interactive, Inc. is a Coral Gables AI systems firm. We help e-commerce and DTC brands get recommended by AI shopping surfaces by structuring product, price, and review data engines can read and trust, with review presentation that clears FTC rules.

Why this matters right now

Structured

AI shopping answers are built from structured data you may not have

Product, price, and review data decide whether an engine can recommend your product. Brands with thin data cannot be recommended. Literally.

Ad tax

Rising ad costs are a visibility tax

Every recommendation you do not earn in AI answers is one you buy back through Meta and Google, at auction prices that climb every quarter.

FTC

Review compliance is now brand risk

FTC violations like undisclosed paid reviews and cherry-picked ratings are enforcement targets. They also kill citations: engines discount review signals they cannot trust.

01

Earned, not just bought

We help you earn AI recommendations so paid ads stop carrying the whole business, and the visibility compounds instead of resetting each auction.

02

FTC-clean by design

Review structure follows the FTC Endorsement Guides, which also happens to be what engines trust, so compliance and citations move together.

03

Honest measurement

We architect for AI recommendation and report it monthly. We never guarantee a specific AI output, because no honest firm can.

Questions firm owners ask

Do people actually buy through ChatGPT?
More often the pattern is AI-assisted discovery that ends in a purchase on your site. A shopper asks an engine for "the best X for Y," the engine names a few products it can read and trust, and the shopper buys from one. If your catalog data is thin, you are not in that answer, so you never get the visit.
We rank number one on Google for our brand. Are we not fine?
Brand search and category search are different games. Ranking for your own name captures people who already know you. AI answers for unbranded, category intent ("clean sunscreen for sensitive skin") are where new customers discover brands, and that is decided by structured product and review data, not brand ranking.
What data does an AI shopping surface need?
Product details, price, availability, and review signals in a structured, plain-language form: what the product is, who it is for, what it costs, and what buyers say. When that data is machine-readable and trustworthy, an engine can confidently recommend you.
Are incentivized reviews really a problem?
Yes, on two fronts. The FTC Endorsement Guides require clear disclosure of paid or incentivized reviews, and undisclosed ones are an enforcement target. Separately, AI engines discount review signals they cannot trust, so non-compliant reviews hurt your citations as well as your legal exposure.
We are on Shopify. Does the scan work for us?
Yes. The scan reads your live pages regardless of platform. On Shopify the common findings are theme schema gaps and app conflicts that strip structured data; we note those specifically so your team or ours can fix them.
What does an engagement cost?
It starts free with the scan, then $14.97 for the full report, then $97 for a founder-led audit, with the $14.97 credited toward it. Done-for-you engagements begin at $2,500. Every step is optional and priced on the page.
How is this different from our SEO agency?
SEO optimizes for the classic search results page. This is GEO: optimizing for the AI answer and shopping surfaces that increasingly sit in front of that page. The work overlaps on clean structured data, so a good SEO foundation helps, but the target surface and the tactics differ. We will name the overlap honestly rather than resell what your SEO team already does.
