Where Did All Your Shopify Traffic Go??

Your Shopify traffic didn't disappear; it just got smarter and moved to AI agents. While you were busy optimizing meta tags for 2015, 84% of e-commerce brands started integrating AI, and the ones doing it right are seeing a 30% higher AOV on orders found through AI search. If you aren't optimizing for "Answer Engines," you are basically invisible to the modern shopper. I sat down with Nihar Kulkarni from Roswell NYC to discuss why the old agency model is dead and how to make sure the robots actually recommend your products.   Key Take-aways Why silos are killing your growth and how integrated creative and media teams generate a 20% lift in conversion rates. Are you optimizing for AEO and GEO? If you don't know what those acronyms mean, you are already behind. The "LLMs.txt" file is the new sitemap. Learn why you need to add this simple text file to your Shopify store immediately to feed the AI bots. Why agencies have to stop billing for hands and start billing for brains before AI replaces the execution work entirely. The massive retention mistake most brands make on Black Friday (hint: stop emailing people who just bought from you). How to reverse engineer your retention strategy to ensure 30% of your revenue comes from email and SMS. 🫶 Support the amazing sponsors that make this show possible 🫶 Omnisend - I personally use Omnisend for every Shopify store I manage!
