Google just dropped its official guide on optimizing for AI search.
Translated for Shopify owners:
→ SEO is still the foundation for AI search. The same work that ranks you on Google ranks you in AI Overviews.
→ Skip the "GEO hacks." No llms.txt files. No chunking content. No rewriting for AI.
→ Focus on non commodity content.
"Top 10 sneakers for runners" won't cut it. "Why I switched from Hokas to Asics for marathon training after 3 years" will.
→ Product schema, merchant feeds, and Google Business Profile still matter. Keep them clean and complete.
→ Original product reviews, real customer photos, and first hand experience beat AI generated descriptions every time.
→ Site speed, crawlability, and mobile UX are still the foundation. If Google can't crawl your store, AI can't cite it.
The "AI search" hype is mostly recycled SEO advice with new buzzwords.
Do the basics well and you'll show up in both.
