Introducing the Free Microscope.ai Product Check: See If AI Recommends Your Product.

Your Product Page Can Pass AI Readiness Checks and Still Never Get Recommended.

Shoppers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Meta’s Muse and other LLM's what to buy, and the answers name specific products. Most brands have no idea whether their products surface.

The tools that exist today mostly check whether AI can read your product page: structured data, crawler access, a score out of 100. Shopify’s own agentic readiness checker is a good example, and its fine print is honest about the limit: passing doesn’t guarantee AI will surface your products.

That gap is what we built the Microscope Product Check to close. Paste one product URL, and we ask the engines real shopper questions and show you whether they recommend your product, who they recommend instead, and what it’s worth. Once you see the ease and power of checking one product, you can save, share and then setup a trial to check other products in your catalog.

What one check turned up

We ran a $36 nutritional drink mix from a direct-to-consumer brand.

  • AI readiness: 100/100. The page is indexable, AI crawlers are allowed, and product structured data is in place.
  • Engines named other products instead. The top alternative came up in 15 answers.
  • AI knew the product. Asked directly, engines described its price, stock, shipping and returns reasonably well, scoring 64% overall on accuracy.

AI knew the product and could read the page. It still didn’t recommend it. A readiness score alone would have said everything was fine.

What the check shows you

  • Overall product score: how accurately engines describe your price, stock, shipping, returns and reputation.
  • Recommended in X of Y: how often your product is named across shopper questions, measured as a rate across repeat answers, not a yes/no.
  • Results by engine: ChatGPT, Gemini and Muse (Meta AI), side by side.
  • Who AI recommends instead: the specific competing products, and how often.
  • Stores AI recommends: whether shoppers are sent to your store or a marketplace.
  • AI readiness: structured data, trust signals and crawler access.
  • Top fixes: what to change on the page, ranked by impact.
  • What it could be worth: an adjustable estimate of revenue at risk, built on published research, not a guess.

Why it matters now

AI answers are taking clicks that used to reach your store. A randomized study found Google’s AI Overviews cut organic clicks by 39.8% when they appeared, and Seer Interactive measured organic click-through down 61% and paid down 68% on queries with AI Overviews (PPC Land).

The traffic AI does send is growing and converting well. Adobe found AI-referred visits to US retail sites rose 62% year over year in July 2026 and converted 60% better than other traffic (Digital Commerce 360).

If AI is choosing between you and a competitor, you need to see that choice. You can’t fix what you can’t see.

How it works

  1. Paste a product URL. Any product page, from any store: Shopify, commercetools, WooCommerce, Magento or your own platform.
  2. See your first results in seconds. AI readiness, a first ChatGPT signal and the revenue estimate.
  3. Add your email for the full report. We run the shopper questions across every engine and send you a private link and a PDF to keep or share with your team.

No install, no signup to see your first results.

When you’re ready to go further, Microscope runs the same analysis on every product, every week, and closes the loop where it counts: in your own analytics. We don’t get to mark our own work. Your sales do.
