Cited in AI answers across 1,400+ stores and 27 countries.

The playbook

Five steps to be cited by every major AI engine.

The same blueprint that took brands like Northwave and Folio Skincare from invisible to consistently quoted in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini answers — inside three weeks.

  • Single-source structured data for Google + AI
  • Open AI bots, monitor them like Googlebot
  • Answer-shaped resource pages on every category
  • Verified-buyer trust signal on every claim
  • Citation dashboard so you can iterate

  1. Step 1

    Audit citable surfaces

    Find the 6–12 URLs on your site that AI assistants are already crawling. Pages with rich JSON-LD + verified-buyer reviews dominate the citation list.

  2. Step 2

    Wire verified reviews + UGC

    Reviews + UGC bound to SKUs with Product, Review, AggregateRating JSON-LD. Same data feeds Google, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini.

    4 engines, one schema

  3. Step 3

    Publish answer-ready pages

    Resource pages structured as "question → 2-sentence answer → supporting evidence". This is the shape AI assistants quote verbatim.

  4. Step 4

    Open robots.txt for AI agents

    GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended whitelisted. Blocking them is the #1 reason brands disappear from AI search.

  5. Step 5

    Measure + iterate

    Idukki ships an AI-citation dashboard: which AI engine, which URL, which query, which day. Optimize like you would for Google.

Citable surfaces

Six surfaces AI assistants quote, out of the box.

Every Idukki store ships these by default. No manual schema. No additional dev.

Idukki vs. the legacy stack

Built for the answer engine, not the keyword search.

Most review + UGC platforms were built for the 2018 Google ranking model. We built for the model where AI is the new front page.

Where AI search is changing the buy.

Auto-generated

Your llms.txt + AI feed, written for you.

The emerging llms.txt standard tells AI crawlers which pages are canonical, citable and machine-readable. Idukki generates yours automatically from your sitemap + structured data, and refreshes it whenever you publish.

Trust the data

What AI assistants will and won't cite.

AI engines weight verified-buyer evidence orders of magnitude higher than brand copy. Idukki ships the verification chain on every review, every photo, every video.
