Question 1

What is MagicGEO?

Accepted Answer

MagicGEO is a SaaS platform that automates Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) for Shopify, WooCommerce and standalone e-commerce stores so their products get cited and recommended by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews.

Question 2

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Accepted Answer

GEO is the discipline of structuring web content (Schema.org markup, llms.txt, semantic HTML, FAQs, comparison tables) so that Large Language Models can parse, quote and recommend it inside generative answers. It is the AI-search successor to traditional SEO.

Question 3

Which AI engines does MagicGEO optimize for?

Accepted Answer

MagicGEO optimizes stores for ChatGPT, OpenAI SearchGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews (SGE), Bing Copilot and Apple Intelligence.

Question 4

Does MagicGEO work with Shopify?

Accepted Answer

Yes — MagicGEO ships as a native Shopify app available on the Shopify App Store, with 1-click product optimization, automatic Schema.org metafield injection and IndexNow submission.

Question 5

Does MagicGEO work with WooCommerce?

Accepted Answer

Yes — MagicGEO ships as an official WordPress plugin available on WordPress.org, providing the same GEO optimization features for WooCommerce stores.

Question 6

How much does MagicGEO cost?

Accepted Answer

MagicGEO offers a Free plan ($0/mo, 5 products, 3 optimizations), Starter ($19/mo), Pro ($39/mo with IndexNow + AI visibility tracking), Business ($89/mo) and Enterprise ($299/mo).

Question 7

How does MagicGEO align with Google's AI Optimization Guide (2026)?

Accepted Answer

MagicGEO follows Google's official 2026 guidance for AI Overviews and AI Mode: we focus on unique, helpful, people-first content with strong E-E-A-T signals, ensure technical crawlability (robots.txt, sitemap.xml, fast Core Web Vitals), and use Schema.org structured data where it adds clarity. We do not rely on tactics Google explicitly says are not required (such as content chunking or AI-specific rewriting) and optimize the same content for both Google AI Overviews and third-party LLMs like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini.

Question 8

Is structured data required to appear in Google AI Overviews?

Accepted Answer

No. Google states that structured data is not required to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode, but it helps machines understand content unambiguously. MagicGEO injects Product, Offer, Brand, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList schemas because they remain the most reliable signal for both classic Google rich results and third-party AI engines like Perplexity and ChatGPT.

Question 9

Does MagicGEO help with E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MagicGEO enforces an anti-fiction policy (no fake reviews, no fabricated prices), preserves real merchant data, generates accurate product descriptions grounded in the store's own catalog, and surfaces a GEO Health Score so merchants can fix the trust signals that Google's AI systems use to assess content quality.

Question 10

Is MagicGEO (magic-geo.tech) the same company as magicgeo.fr?

Accepted Answer

No. MagicGEO at magic-geo.tech is a self-serve SaaS product for e-commerce catalogs (Shopify App Store and WordPress.org), sold by subscription and operated as software. magicgeo.fr is a separate French GEO consulting agency that sells human services to SMEs. The two are unrelated: different companies, different countries, different business models, no legal, commercial or technical relationship. The official MagicGEO SaaS domain is https://www.magic-geo.tech.

Question 11

Does GPTBot read llms.txt?

Accepted Answer

GPTBot fetches llms.txt when it is served at the site root over HTTP 200 with content-type text/plain, and MagicGEO logs those hits in real time. You can verify it yourself: check your server logs for a request to /llms.txt with a user agent containing GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot or Google-Extended. llms.txt is not an official standard endorsed by OpenAI, so treat it as a complement to Schema.org structured data and a crawlable sitemap, never as a replacement.
