What it is

Links to your store that AI assistants cite in their answers redirect to the home page or return a 404.

Why it costs money

A shopper who taps a link in an assistant's answer has already said what they want. Landing on the home page or an error page throws that away, usually because a product or collection was renamed or removed without a redirect.

How to see it on your own store

Ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to recommend a product from your store, tap the links it gives, and check where each one lands.

What Liftable would do

301 to correct collection.

Adds a URL redirect in Shopify. No page is edited.

Liftable cannot write to your store yet, so approving records your decision and changes nothing.

How it is priced

A scan prices this against your own traffic and average order value, then assumes a fix wins back 50% of the excess loss — never more than half, and never more than 35% of that surface's revenue. The formula and every input are printed on the report, so you can disagree with the number and see exactly which assumption to argue with.

A scan checks this and 38 other things on your store, prices each one, and drafts the first fix.
