The merchant
A UK maker of organic, handmade mattresses and beds. It manufactures in-house, sources raw materials direct, and sells direct to consumers. The positioning is premium and sustainability-led, competing against heritage bed makers and bed-in-a-box players.
What Shoptank set up
Shoppers researching a high-ticket, considered purchase like a mattress increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews before they reach a results page. Being absent from those answers means being absent from the shortlist, and the brand had no visibility into how assistants described it. Shoptank built a structured knowledge base feeding llms.txt and Shopify's native MCP, published a brand profile, and turned on continuous visibility monitoring and AI-source order attribution.

Why ChatGPT did the heavy lifting
A clean, structured knowledge base plus llms.txt gives the largest assistant an authoritative source to cite, so the brand shows up when high-intent shoppers ask for organic mattress recommendations.
The orders ChatGPT sent were not just frequent, they were valuable: £9,741 of the roughly £11,197 total came from that one source.
For a considered, high-value purchase, AI assistants are now a measurable acquisition channel. A structured knowledge base and continuous monitoring turned the question of how ChatGPT describes the brand into 54 tracked orders and roughly £11k in attributed value over four months.
