How the gate works
This tool grades whether your products surface in AI shopping answers. Each signal is scored 0–2; the verdict is the weakest one — then a gate that can only make it worse.
The 6 signals
An active contradiction — product schema that disagrees with the feed, or a conflicting NAP across directories — forces INVISIBLE regardless of the score. A contradiction is worse than a gap: it makes the engine deprioritize both sides.
Why: Feed, identifiers, attributes, freshness, and authority all score strong — but the product schema contradicts the feed. A contradiction makes the AI deprioritize both sides, so it's a hard INVISIBLE, worse than a plain gap.
A clean sheet didn’t save it. The verdict is the weakest signal — and a top trigger is dispositive on its own — so it names the one thing to fix first. Grades the product surface, not people. Placements are earned, not bought — no tool guarantees a citation.
