When an AI assistant recommends a competitor's product instead of yours, you lose a sale you never see. Aplo connects order data with referrer detection so you can measure the revenue AI is steering — and fix what's costing you.

What you see
Three views that tell you what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it.
See which products in your category AI assistants actually recommend — yours and your competitors'. Track share of recommendations over time, spot trends before they hit your revenue, and understand where you're winning or losing visibility.
Every recommendation has a trail. Aplo shows which review sites, forums, and content sources models are drawing from when they recommend a product — yours or a rival's. You'll know exactly where to invest to shift the narrative.
When a model skips your product, it's usually because your page lacks the information it needs — structured data, comparison tables, social proof, specs. Aplo identifies the specific gaps costing you recommendations, ranked by impact.
Missing structured data
No product schema — models can't parse specs
Thin comparison content
No side-by-side vs competitors on page
Few verified reviews
Models prioritize products with 100+ reviews
Attribution
For SaaS, absolute AI-referred signups are small enough that leading with them undersells the product. For Shopify merchants, it's the opposite: order data makes the outcome concrete. You see real dollars tied to AI-influenced purchases, not just share-of-mentions.
Every number Aplo reports is conservative. If we can't confirm an order came from an AI referral, we don't count it. You get a floor — the minimum revenue AI is steering your way — and the trail to understand why.
These are orders we can confirm came from an AI referral. The actual number is likely higher — we report what we can prove.
The objection
Shopify will make every merchant present in agentic commerce, because that lifts the whole platform. It has no incentive to help one merchant beat another when both pay Shopify.
Shopify wants every store on agentic rails. But helping you beat a competitor who also pays Shopify doesn't serve the platform — it's zero-sum for them.
Why an agent recommended a rival, what's missing from your product page, which review sources models trust — these are questions the platform itself can't answer without picking sides.
Triple Whale coexists with Shopify Analytics. Helium 10 with Amazon's seller console. The platform provides the baseline; third-party tools provide the competitive edge.
Platforms optimize for the ecosystem. Independent tools optimize for the individual merchant. Aplo is built for the merchant who needs to win, not the platform that needs everyone to participate.
Shopify is Aplo's planned second vertical. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out the moment we open early access for D2C merchants.
No spam. We'll only email you about Shopify early access.
