Shopify AI Rank Checker

Introduction

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Copilot are already recommending products to shoppers — and they're not crawling your website to do it. They query Shopify's Global Catalog directly through the UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) MCP interface. Every product on Shopify is in this catalog by default, but merchants have almost no visibility into how they actually rank when an AI searches for something like "trail running shoes" or "organic coffee beans."

Shopify AI Rank Checker queries the same Global Catalog MCP endpoint that AI shopping agents use, finds your shop's product among the results, and reports your exact rank, who's outranking you, and how complete your listing data looks to the catalog. No Shopify API key, partner account, or bearer token is required — the actor authenticates the same lightweight way real AI agents do.

Features

• Checks your product's rank position for any number of keywords in a single run — the same rank AI agents like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok see and act on
• Scans the top 100 results per keyword using real cursor-based pagination against the Global Catalog
• Two report modes: a Simple report (rank, matched URL, top 10 result URLs) for quick checks, or a Full report with complete product, variant, and seller data for every single competitor scanned — not just your own listing — via rank1, rank2, ... rankN columns
• See exactly which competitors are outranking you and why, with their full product data side by side with yours
• Reports a data quality score for your matched product in Full mode, based on which enrichment signals (description, media, options, rating, categories) are present
• Lets you set buyer shipping context (country) to see country-specific results
• No API key, OAuth flow, or Shopify Partner account needed

Use Cases

• Merchants finding out for the first time whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Grok are even surfacing their products
• Merchants doing a quick, lightweight check of where they rank for a keyword (Simple mode)
• Merchants auditing their visibility in AI agent shopping results before and after SEO/content changes (Full mode)
• Agencies running agentic-commerce visibility reports for Shopify clients
• Tracking how a product's rank shifts over time by scheduling repeated runs
• Comparing your own listing's data completeness against the competitors ranking above you
• Spotting when a product disappears from Global Catalog results entirely (stock issues, data problems, etc.)

Input

In the Apify UI

Field	Required	Description
Shop Domain	Yes	Your shop's domain to find in results, e.g. example-store.myshopify.com. Matched against the catalog's seller domain and storefront URL.
Keywords	Yes	List of search queries to check your rank for (1–50 keywords). One API call is made per keyword.
Report Detail	No	Simple (default) returns just keyword, rank, the matched product's URL, and the top 10 result URLs. Full returns everything, including complete data for every scanned result via rank1...rankN columns.
Ships-To Country	No	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for buyer context, e.g. US, DE, GB (default US). Affects which results and prices are returned.

The scan depth is fixed at the top 100 results per keyword and isn't configurable in the input — this keeps runs predictable and cost-consistent.

{
  "shop_domain": "example-store.myshopify.com",
