My mom owns Krafty Bandit, a small family boutique in Belle Vernon, PA: memory bears, custom embroidery, and resale clothing on Shopify. In June 2026 I started running the kind of AI-search and technical SEO program on her store that usually lives behind enterprise retainers, nights and weekends, documenting everything. The work: made her business entity resolvable (one identical name-address-phone block everywhere, LocalBusiness schema, directory cleanup); rewrote key pages as clean, single-question guides; built a full structured-data stack (Product, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList) under the rule that schema must match visible text exactly; opened robots.txt to AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended) and enrolled the catalog in AI shopping channels; and shipped catalog hygiene at scale by building a team of Claude-based AI workflows that fixed 2,861 product images (alt text across 1,082 products) and cleaned 2,810 junk filenames in one weekend, every change logged, every call reviewed by a human. Measured results, each from a named tool export: 80 AI answer-engine citations in 30 days (Microsoft Clarity, June 21 to July 20, 2026), up from 71 the prior window, with roughly a 34% share of authority on cited queries Google Search clicks up 3,033% in 28 days on $0 ad spend (Search Console; the base was near zero, which is why the percentage looks dramatic) 163 Google Shopping clicks on $0 ad spend (Merchant Center) An 8-question FAQ rebuilt into 34 with matching JSON-LD; ~953 pages indexed; Core Web Vitals score of 95 What I deliberately don't claim: the shop's sales growth. Most transactions happen in-store and attribution is multi-causal, so I report the organic wins that have receipts and leave the revenue claim alone.
