What is agentic commerce, and what does “AI visibility” mean?
Agentic commerce is shopping where an AI assistant — Amazon’s Alexa for Shopping (formerly Rufus), ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google’s AI answers — compares products and recommends or even completes the purchase. AI visibility is whether your products are named in those recommendations and answers. Related terms: generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO). ARTAN measures it product by product and helps you improve it.
Who is ARTAN for?
Consumer packaged goods brands generating at least $10M USD a year across all channels combined — for example supplements, beauty and personal care, pet consumables, and health and wellness foods. Agencies can subscribe to Intelligence for client brands that meet the same threshold.
Is the AI audit really free?
Yes. The audit call is free. Intelligence (from $1,000 USD/month, three-month minimum) and Managed Service (custom, six-month minimum, Intelligence included) are paid subscriptions you can choose afterwards.
What does Intelligence include, and what does expert support add?
The base subscription includes platform access, onboarding, and tracking tailored to your agreed products, category, competitors and AI platforms — from $1,000 USD/month with a three-month minimum. A higher, tailored subscription adds expert interpretation, prioritized recommendations and regular review calls.
Why are minimum commitments required?
We build your category baseline first, then track changes over time. Intelligence has a three-month minimum. Managed engagements, including creator management, have a six-month minimum that works as a pilot inside an ongoing subscription.
What is included in Managed Service?
Intelligence and expert recommendations, agreed implementation by ARTAN, coordination with your team and partners, regular progress reviews, and adaptation based on findings. Pricing is custom and built around your goals and team, with a six-month minimum. Your package determines which workstreams ARTAN executes — technical SEO and structured data, product and marketplace content, content built for AI discovery, creator and ambassador programs, third-party authority, lifecycle marketing, and measurement — and which your team or partners execute.
Can creator management be purchased separately?
Yes. A focused creator-management subscription is available without the broader managed program. It requires ARTAN Intelligence (from $1,000 USD/month), carries a six-month minimum, and is priced custom. Creator fees, samples, affiliate commissions, paid placements and other outside costs are additional.
How are affiliate revenue and AI visibility measured?
Separately. Affiliate revenue is tracked through the affiliate programs themselves. AI visibility is tracked as changes in recommendations and citations for the agreed shopper questions. A change in one does not automatically prove a change in the other.
How does competitor protection work?
Managed Service clients name up to three direct competitors, and we won’t work with those brands while the engagement is active. Names and availability are confirmed before you sign. It does not apply to Intelligence-only subscriptions and is not category exclusivity.
Is the website readiness check the same as Intelligence?
No. The readiness check scores a page of your website for AI answer engines. Intelligence tracks your products in AI shopping recommendations and AI search over time, alongside your competitors.
