Getting your store recommended by AI agents: your options

Merchants ask us how B2AC differs from a schema plugin, an SEO agency, or an AI-visibility dashboard. Honest answer: each covers a different slice. Here's the whole picture.

DIY schema plugins (Yoast, Schema app, etc.)

Templates that emit basic Schema.org markup from the data your store already has.

Covers

  • ✓Product/Organization JSON-LD on standard templates
  • ✓Cheap and quick to install

Doesn't cover

  • ✗Garbage in, garbage out — thin titles and missing attributes stay thin
  • ✗No llms.txt, no agent feeds (ACP/UCP/GMC/Bing), no MCP presence
  • ✗No measurement: you never learn whether agents actually read or chose you

Typical cost: $0–20/mo

SEO agency

Human-led optimization aimed at Google's blue links and (sometimes) AI Overviews.

Covers

  • ✓Content strategy, backlinks, technical SEO hygiene
  • ✓Can adapt when you ask for AI-visibility work

Doesn't cover

  • ✗Per-product structured data at catalog scale is manual and rarely done
  • ✗Agent-commerce protocols (ACP/UCP, MCP, llms.txt) are outside most playbooks
  • ✗Retainers are decoupled from outcomes — you pay whether or not agents send you buyers

Typical cost: $1–10k/mo retainers

AI-visibility monitoring tools

Dashboards that track whether AI assistants mention your brand for chosen prompts.

Covers

  • ✓Share-of-answer trend lines and competitor benchmarks
  • ✓Useful evidence that a visibility problem exists

Doesn't cover

  • ✗Diagnosis only — nothing on your site actually changes
  • ✗Prompt-level brand tracking, not product-level commerce data agents can buy from

Typical cost: $99–500/mo

B2AC (managed operator)

We make the store itself agent-native: enriched catalog data deployed to your live site, published to agent-commerce feeds, and measured end to end.

Covers

  • ✓Free Agent Visibility Score with honest, verifiable findings
  • ✓Catalog crawl + AI enrichment (titles, attributes, categories, alt-text)
  • ✓Schema.org JSON-LD + llms.txt deployed safely with one-click rollback
  • ✓ACP/UCP + Google/Bing feeds, MCP server, open agent API
  • ✓Verified agent-traffic meter — you see which agents visit and choose you

Doesn't cover

  • ✗Not a general SEO agency — we optimize for agents, not blue links
  • ✗Content marketing and backlinks stay your (or your agency's) job

Typical cost: Free until agent-driven sales are real; then commission only on attributed sales
