FAQ

• Question 1: How is Erlin AI different from traditional SEO tools?

  Traditional SEO tools focus on optimizing rankings for conventional search engines like Google, emphasizing algorithm optimization such as keyword density and backlinks. Erlin AI, by contrast, focuses on the recommendation rules of AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI. It addresses two core questions: whether AI can identify and understand a brand's pages, and how to get the brand prioritized in AI shopping results and conversational recommendations. Its optimization scope includes page crawlability, Schema structured data, and brand information structure, making it more suitable for AI-driven shopping search scenarios.

• Question 2: How does Erlin AI fix AI visibility gaps?

• This is handled through the "Page Optimization & Visibility Repair" module, with the following specific capabilities:

• Page audit: Check accessibility of collection pages and product pages (PDPs), and pinpoint pages that AI cannot read;

• Validate key tags: Confirm that Schema structured data, robots.txt, and llm.txt are correctly configured to avoid AI crawl failures caused by misconfiguration;

• Track crawler activity: View access logs of AI crawlers such as GPTBot (the "Track Crawlers" feature is coming soon) to understand AI crawl frequency and scope;

• Locate blocked pages: Find pages that are blocked or inaccessible to AI, and help brands adjust settings to restore visibility.

• Question 3: What competitor AI performance information can Erlin AI provide? What is it used for?

• Brands can use monitoring data to understand three categories of competitor information:

• Visibility score comparison: Real-time scores and weekly changes for competitors such as Nike (94%) and Adidas (85.4%); for example, Nike up 3% week-over-week;

• Category ranking share: Competitors' AI visibility rankings within specific categories (such as running shoes or sustainable fashion);

• Traffic comparison: Differences in traffic competitors receive from platforms like ChatGPT and Google AI.

• These insights serve the following purposes:

• Clarify your own position in industry AI visibility and identify gaps with leading competitors (for example, your score is 9 percentage points lower than Nike's);

• By analyzing competitors' score changes and traffic sources, learn from effective optimization methods (for instance, if a competitor boosted their score by strengthening Schema, you can do the same);

• Quickly capture new moves by competitors (such as a sudden traffic spike on a particular platform) and adjust your strategy to stay competitive.
