Why we built DYODE
“We hired a lot of agencies in those jobs. Too many didn’t get it, nickel-and-dimed us, and never acted like a real growth partner. So we built something different.”

Where AI helps your store today
Shoppers now ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI what to buy. We get your store into those answers, and make sure AI on your own site gives the right ones.
- Show up in AI answers
We list the questions your buyers ask, then track which answers in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite you, before and after the work.
How we measure it - Check if AI can read your store
The scan checks whether GPTBot and ClaudeBot are allowed in, whether your product schema exists, and whether price shows up without JavaScript.
Scan your store - Answers on your own site
We set up AI shopping agents like Remark and Envive with your catalog and brand voice, so shoppers get answers before they buy.
