[Generate Leads Now](#booking) Trusted by D2C brands across India, UAE and USA ![Radhika Verma](/assets/testimonials/radhika-verma.jpg) "3x traffic increase within weeks. We took full control of our visibility strategy." Radhika Verma, Founder, Unleash Wellness ## The Indian D2C Trap: Ads Get Expensive. AI Search Is Free. 1,000+ D2C brands launched since 2020. Only 300 survived. Traditional SEO takes 12 months. Ads get more expensive every quarter. Here's why AI SEO is the way out. ### Rs 1,500-2,000 to Acquire One Customer Ad costs have increased 60% in 3 years. Meta CPMs keep climbing. You're paying more for every click while conversion rates stagnate. Every rupee spent on ads has diminishing returns, but you can't stop spending because your traffic drops to zero. ### 1,000+ Brands Fighting for the Same Customer The Indian D2C space is saturated. You're competing against brands with bigger ad budgets on the same platforms. Meanwhile, Amazon and Flipkart take 20-30% commission but offer ready-made traffic. You're stuck between marketplace dependency and an ad spend trap. ### Your Customers Already Ask AI Before Buying When someone asks ChatGPT "best ayurvedic supplement" or Perplexity "top pet wellness brand in India", there are no marketplace listings, no ad auctions, no CPCs. The brand that gets cited gets the sale. Your competitors haven't started building AI visibility. This is the window. ## See How It Works Watch how Snezzi gets D2C brands cited in AI search ## From Invisible to Cited, In 3 Steps A clear path from the ad spend trap to becoming the brand AI recommends 1 ### Audit Your AI Presence We benchmark which brands get cited for your category queries in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. You'll see exactly who's winning the AI recommendations your customers rely on, and where you're invisible. 2 ### Map High-Intent Queries We identify queries that drive purchases: "best \[product\] in India," "\[brand\] vs \[brand\]," "\[product\] for \[need\]." These are the questions AI platforms answer, and the ones your ads can't reach. 3 ### Build Authority & Get Cited Our AI agents optimize your Shopify store, build authority signals, and track citations 24/7. At a fraction of your current ad spend. No long-term contracts, we earn your business every month with measurable results. ## Shopify SEO Meets Answer Engine Optimization We combine traditional Shopify SEO with AEO and GEO SEO, so your brand ranks on Google and gets cited by AI ### Shopify SEO Technical SEO audits, product page optimization, collection page structure, schema markup, and site speed, built specifically for Shopify stores. We fix the issues generic SEO agencies miss. ### Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) We structure your content so AI platforms cite your brand by name.

We moved away from the constant back and forth with agencies and took full control of our visibility strategy. The platform made it incredibly easy to identify what mattered, from tracking how our brand appeared in AI search to creating content that actually ranked and resonated with our audience. Within months, we saw a 3x increase in traffic and a steady rise in new orders. What used to take weeks of manual effort is now automated, measurable, and driving real business impact." RV Radhika Verma Founder, Unleash Wellness "We recently started focusing on AI visibility and decided to use Snezzi instead of hiring an SEO agency. Within weeks, we saw strong improvements in traffic and how often our brand appeared in AI search results. The platform makes everything simple and actionable, and their team genuinely goes above and beyond to help. It feels like having an AI visibility expert working alongside us every step of the way." VK Vinoth Kumar Founder, Potoos "Working with Snezzi has been a game changer for us. Before using it, most of our traffic came from random sources and running ads was nearly impossible in our category. After implementing Snezzi's recommendations and insights, our organic visibility and orders grew steadily month after month. The team helped us refine our website, content, and structure in a way that actually drives results. It's rare to find a partner that understands both SEO and the realities of regulated markets so well." FP Fahmid P. Founder & CEO, Herbal Supplements "We were spending heavily on Instagram and Google ads with diminishing returns. Snezzi helped us build a presence in AI search that we didn't even know existed. Within a few months, customers were finding us through ChatGPT and Perplexity recommendations instead of ads. Our CAC dropped significantly and the traffic keeps compounding. It's the best investment we've made for sustainable growth." PM Priya M. Co-Founder, Skincare Brand ## We Onboard 5 Shopify Brands Per Month. AI visibility is a first-mover advantage. The brands that build it now will dominate AI recommendations for years. Your competitors haven't started, but they will. [Claim Your Spot](#booking) ## Frequently Asked Questions Because the channel where your customers increasingly start their buying journey, AI search, is one your ads can't reach. When someone asks ChatGPT 'best ayurvedic supplement for sleep' or Perplexity 'top pet wellness brand in India,' the brands cited win the sale before a Google search even happens. AI visibility captures this growing channel at a fraction of your current ad spend. Traditional Shopify SEO gets you ranked on Google search results, which takes 6-12 months and is dominated by marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart. We go further by combining Shopify SEO with answer engine optimization (AEO) and GEO SEO. This gets your brand cited in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity, where there are no marketplace listings and recommendations go directly to brands. That's exactly the advantage. AI search is a level playing field right now, the brands that build AI visibility first will dominate recommendations for years. Your larger competitors haven't started yet because they're still focused on marketplace ads. This is the window. Unleash Wellness went from invisible to 5X AI mentions in 5 months. Unleash Wellness saw 5X growth in AI mentions, 220% organic growth, and cut ad spend by 40% in 5 months. They went from depending on paid ads to getting cited organically in ChatGPT and Perplexity for pet wellness queries. Results vary by category, but D2C brands typically see strong ROI because the AI search space is far less competitive than Meta or Google ads. Our plans cost a fraction of what most D2C brands spend on ads with diminishing returns. If you're spending Rs 2-3 lakh/month on ads with a CAC of Rs 1,500-2,000, redirecting even a portion to AI visibility gives you access to a channel with compounding returns, you don't lose visibility when you stop spending. Most D2C brands see measurable improvements in AI citations within 4-6 weeks. Within 3-5 months, brands typically see 3-5X growth in AI mentions and significant organic traffic increases. Unlike paid ads where you pay for every click, AI citations compound, once you're cited, you stay cited. Absolutely. Health, wellness, ayurvedic, and supplement brands benefit the most from AI visibility because they face the strictest ad restrictions on Google and Meta. AI search has no ad policies, when someone asks ChatGPT 'best supplement for joint pain,' any brand can be cited. We've helped brands in these restricted categories grow significantly. AEO stands for answer engine optimization, it's the practice of structuring your content so AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity cite your brand when answering customer questions. For Shopify D2C brands in India, AEO means your products get recommended when shoppers ask AI 'best \[product\] in India' instead of searching Google. GEO SEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the next evolution of search optimization. While traditional SEO focuses on Google rankings, GEO SEO focuses on getting your brand cited by generative AI systems, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. For D2C brands, this is an untapped channel where most competitors haven't started. Yes, Shopify SEO is a core part of what we do, technical audits, product page optimization, collection structure, site speed, and schema markup. But we go beyond traditional Shopify SEO by integrating AI search optimization. This combination means you rank on Google and get cited by AI, covering both channels.
