FERMÀT’s AI Search Commerce Engine boosts your brand’s visibility in AI-powered search and attracts customers to your site. Unlike traditional SEO, which targets search engine rankings, our AI Search product optimizes your content to appear in answers from AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, helping you reach consumers who rely on AI for product discovery.
What's in this guide:
How it Works
The AI Search Commerce Engine follows a three-step process to feature your brand in AI-generated answers:
Identify the exact prompts your customers ask AI in your category
Auto-generate pre-designed funnels
Be the brand AI recommends when customers search
What Can You Do With It

Outrank competitors: Add optimized FERMÀT funnels to your site to improve your visibility.
Supercharge organic search: Create a Content Aggregator Page to consolidate your content and boost your organic search performance.
Monitor and optimize AI representation: Track how AI models represent your brand in response to various search queries and pre-trained knowledge.
