AI is the new word of mouth.
People now ask ChatGPT where to shop, find a gift and buy something special. If your store isn't in the answer, they're walking through someone else's door. Find out if AI recommends you.
10 customer questions. Free scan. No card required.
“Where can I buy a thoughtful gift nearby?”
“Which local shops sell sustainable homewares?”
“Where should I shop for independent brands?”
The next shopping trip starts with an AI answer.
They ask for the perfect gift. AI tells them where to go. Your shop should be on that shortlist.
Here are three local shops worth a visit:
Illustrative answer, not a live recommendation.
A great shop still needs to be found.
Customers ask for what they need, not a list of shop names. Make your product categories, local knowledge and reasons to visit easier for AI to understand.

A few good questions.
Is this just for online stores?
No. Mention Surge is designed for small businesses with a website, including physical retail stores that want to be discovered locally.
Can I focus on the products I actually sell?
Yes. Your website informs the scan, and you can track questions about the categories and locations relevant to your store.
Will it publish to my shop automatically?
Not yet. Articles, schema and llms.txt are available to download. Website publishing integrations are planned for later.
