AI Visibility

Half your catalog is invisible to AI

AI recommends products it can verify. If your descriptions, specs, and structured data are thin, you’re skipped.

Glara audits every SKU, shows what’s invisible and why, and runs the fixes automatically once you approve them.

Brand Breakdown

Your popups sound like everyone else's

We're doing a 100 days of stealing strategies from brands that are already winning.

For day 14, we have Snag.

Most popups sound like popups. "Sign up for 10% off." "Enter your email." And we automatically ignore them because we have seen them countless times.

Snag rewrites the copy on two of the most boring popups in ecommerce.

Their geolocation popup doesn't ask you to pick a store. They have fun with the question.

And their email popup says "join the tights revolution" to make it sound dramatic.

Even the fine print skips the usual legal-sounding disclaimer and just says "you're saying it's cool for us to send you emails."

So here's what you should do today: pull up every popup on your site and read the copy out loud.

If it sounds like it could belong to any store, rewrite it in your brand's actual voice, starting with the button text.

Product Strategy

Five cents is cheaper than a refund

Samantha Kent runs growth at La Dove, a family manufacturer that's made skincare and haircare for three generations. She also owns her own brand, The Cleanest Lab.

She's watched this pattern play out with founder after founder: someone locks in a price point early, then quietly gives up quality to hit it.

Here's how it goes. During development, the formulation team suggests an upgrade, a better preservative, a richer texture, a fragrance that lasts past two washes. It costs more. The founder says they'll revisit it later.

Then the reviews come in, and it's always that one thing they meant to fix.

Kent's math: put five cents back into a bottle and you can end up with a dramatically better product.

Why this is important:

Customers aren't comparing your unit economics to a competitor's. They're comparing how the product feels against everything else they've used.

Here's Kent's gut check: would you use your own product over every competing option, every day, no exceptions? If the answer's no, something's being protected at the expense of the product.

Action Summary:

  • Pull your COGS breakdown and find line items you locked in early and haven't revisited

  • Price out what a small increase would actually improve

  • Test whether you'd choose your product over every alternative

  • If not, price the upgrade before your next production run

One idea shouldn't take six rewrites to post.

Posting everywhere means rewriting one idea six times, so you post to one, or none. SureThing turns one idea into native posts for every platform.

Catch Shopify Revenue Leaks Before They Cost You Another Day

Shopify revenue leaks show up in a few places:

  • Conversion drops

  • Lower average order value

  • Checkout abandonment

  • Refund and cancellation spikes

  • Stockouts

  • Falling repeat purchases

They can be caught before one bad day becomes an expensive week.

In this store, traffic increased, conversion stayed stable, and order volume remained healthy.

But average order value fell from $96.70 to $74.64.

That $22.06 gap across 28 orders created an estimated $617.68 revenue leak in one day.

The workflow also explains why the leak matters, separates supported findings from possible causes, and gives you the first investigation to run.

Here, it pointed to basket value rather than demand and recommended checking which premium products or bundles were missing from orders.

It also set a success check: recover AOV to at least $92 while maintaining 26 or more orders.

Here is the complete workflow.
