Getting your brand found on ChatGPT
Google search visits convert at 2.93% in your Shopify at an Online Store order value of A$138.28, so a non-branded click is worth A$4.05 gross. 89% of orders come from new customers, so a new customer is worth about A$155.74 across the first year, estimated from Shopify, and three years is projected at 25% above the first order (A$172.85). About 1 click in 38 becomes a new customer. The same terms are searched 8,140 times a month in Australia, 57,380 in the US (7.0 times Australia) and 2,280 in New Zealand. Shopify Projected

Non-branded, gross, Online Store only. Australia: Today is measured in Search Console and Shopify, the cases are steps up in share, and first-year value equals each case's gross revenue (the same orders grouped by customer). The US and New Zealand rows apply Australia's mid share and click value to the same terms searched there, so they show the size of the prize in each market, before shipping and import costs. For scale, your whole Online Store sold A$45,742 last year, branded and non-branded together, gross, A$592 of it in the US and nothing in New Zealand; US sales came through Faire and the marketplaces (A$71,094). Leave out gothic and curiosity decor and the US is 5.4 times Australia, and some of the biggest US frame searches will be for photo frames or eyewear, so read the US row as an upper bound. 192 of the 275 New Zealand terms read Keyword Planner's lowest band of 10 a month, 84% of the New Zealand total, so treat that row as a ceiling.

We score every brand out of 100 against our AEO Maturity Model: four pillars (Technical, Content, Authority, Measurement), each out of 25. AI-Ready Certified is 80 out of 100, Professional on all four, the standard we build clients to. You are at 31 today.
On the other score. Grand Ranker, the tool behind your daily blog, gave the site 46 out of 100 on its own checklist; our 31 is the maturity model above, so the two measure different things. Since 28 August it has published 67 articles under an Editorial Team byline at a median of 1,900 words: 60 link to a product, 19 to a collection, 15 are built around a buyer's question and 6 cover ethical sourcing. They had drawn 81 Search Console clicks by the end of October, against 878 for the 29 articles from 2024, and new articles take months to settle. The empty collections and the missing sourcing page sit outside what it writes. The detail is in Appendix B.
Your buyers search for the piece before the maker: a framed butterfly, a real snake skeleton, a beetle in resin, and under all of them, whether it was ethically sourced. In our live Google Australia check the results went to Wunderkammer, a Melbourne curiosity store, Bugs Direct, a UK specimen dealer, smaller Australian insect shops, Etsy and eBay.

We sized the market two ways. Term by term, the 120 terms we measured add up to 7,820 searches a month, 4,870 of it core demand: products you sell, searched with buying intent. From the wider keyword universe, with brands, services, supplies, mounted animals you do not sell, empty domes and fashion earrings stripped out, the six territories run to 8,140 measured searches a month and about 10,988 with the long tail. 126 AI questions sit alongside, 57 of them ones you can answer better than a reseller (Appendix C).
Our way of getting you to the mid case, +A$6,403 a year in new non-branded gross revenue in Australia, and taking your scorecard from 31 toward 80 out of 100, starts with our three-month AI & Search build on Notable.

Four pillars, 25 points each, scored granularly on measured evidence from a live crawl, Google's speed test and DataForSEO authority data, gathered 3 November 2026. AI-Ready Certified requires Professional on all four pillars and 80 or more in total.
| Pillar | Score | The evidence behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Technical | 11 / 25 | robots.txt blocks no AI crawler, and all 152 products in the sitemap carry product markup with price, stock and a breadcrumb, missing barcodes, shipping details and ratings. The business markup the theme prints on all 268 pages is invalid code, so the homepage and every collection carry no usable structured data; the one valid business markup sits inside each blog article's own markup. The homepage heading is the logo image. There is too little traffic for Google's real-user speed data; in Google's lab test on a mid-range phone the homepage scores 75, with its main content arriving in 6.7 seconds. 8 copied products sit in the sitemap, "Stirling Silver" is misspelt in the earring names, 1,048 of 2,242 images carry no alt text, and 160 meta descriptions run long. |
| Content | 9 / 25 | The blog is the largest asset you have: 98 articles at a median of 1,762 words, 20 of them built around questions, almost all linking to a product. The bylines read Editorial Team 67, Sudhir Shukla 29 and Trevor Newman 2. Several overlap: by title, 7 are guides to ethical sourcing, 6 of them published since August. All 9 collections carry no words, product descriptions run to a median of 86 words (88 of 153 under 100), and there is no FAQ anywhere. |
| Authority | 6 / 25 | DataForSEO authority of 15 out of 100 (its own 0 to 1,000 scale, folded), from 90 referring domains. No customer reviews anywhere (the reviews page returns a page-not-found), no social profiles linked from the site, and no Wikidata entry for the business or for Trevor. In the live desktop check, 2 of the 5 AI Overviews whose sources we could read cite you; 5 more loaded without readable sources. |
| Measurement | 5 / 25 | Search Console is in place and Shopify reports by referrer, which is what this report runs on. Nothing splits branded from non-branded on a rhythm, AI referrals are not reported as their own channel, and nothing tracks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI name you. |
Total 31 of 100, which places the brand at Emerging. Team Empathy AEO Maturity Model
| Points | Pillar | The move |
|---|---|---|
| +9 | Technical | The business markup rebuilt as valid code with your social profiles and founder linked, a real homepage heading, collection and breadcrumb markup, the copied products redirected, the earring names fixed, alt text across the galleries, and the mobile load time brought down. |
| +15 | Measurement | A baseline of your priority questions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, branded and non-branded reported separately, AI referrals tracked as their own channel, and a monthly rhythm of acting on what moved. That takes the pillar from 5 to 20. |
| +11 | Content | The researched plan across the 10 territories, real copy and FAQs on every collection, one sourcing and legality page, the overlapping articles consolidated, and Trevor's name and knowledge on the work. |
| +14 | Authority | Reviews collected and marked up, the entity layer for the business and the founder, and your story placed on the Australian home, gift and natural history sites AI reads. |
Authority is the slowest pillar and the one we can move least reliably. Reviews and the entity layer are work we do; coverage on other sites depends on other people, so the authority points are the target that tends to arrive last.

The demand column is the keyword search volume underneath each question, as a directional band; the question itself is rarely typed into Google word for word. 57 of the 126 are questions you can own outright. Directional
The same demand, grouped into the territories a plan executes against, in priority order. Each territory links back to its products and to its neighbours, because the person buying a framed butterfly is often also asking whether it was ethically sourced, and the person choosing a dome is choosing between a butterfly and a skeleton. Priority follows core buying demand, with where you already have a page as the tie-break.

Search Console names the query behind 1,807 of your 4,637 clicks. The split is done on Australian searches alone: Google names the query for 1,585 of your 3,634 Australian clicks. Two queries, Newman Art Designs and Newman Art, carry all 139 Australian branded clicks (18 queries match the brand filter; the other 16 recorded no clicks); searches for Sydney Newman, a person, count as non-branded, and site: searches sit in neither group. Of the 1,446 non-branded named clicks, 84.7% come from buying searches and the rest from questions and general reading. The Australian clicks Google does not name are counted as non-branded, because branded searches are a handful of common queries Google always names, and they are taken at the same 84.7% buying share as the named ones.
The 11.2% is measured. Search Console records 3,634 clicks from Australia over twelve months, 78.4% of all clicks. Taking out the 139 branded clicks leaves 3,495 non-branded clicks, and taking the 84.7% buying-search share of those leaves 2,961 a year. That is divided by the winnable pool: 8,140 measured searches a month, times 1.35 for the long tail, times twelve, times 0.20, the share of searches that end in an organic click once ads, shopping carousels, marketplaces and AI answers take theirs. The cases are steps up from there of two, six and twelve points: 13.2%, 17.2% and 23.2% of the same pool, with the value of a click held at today's figure.
Google search visits to the Online Store converted at 2.93% in your Shopify (170 completed checkouts from 5,809 visits; Shopify's report displays it as 2.92%). That rate includes branded Google visits, people searching for you by name, so it may run a little high for a non-branded click. Across all traffic Shopify records 362 completed checkouts against 330 Online Store orders, which may mean some B2B checkouts sit in the same report. The Online Store order value is A$138.28 (A$45,633 of gross less discounts across 330 orders), so a click is worth A$4.05, counting one visit per click. 89% of Online Store orders came from new customers (293 of 330). Revenue is gross; the net view takes out the 1.7% your Shopify records as returned (A$770 of A$45,633). First-year value per new customer (A$155.74) is estimated from Shopify: the order value times all Online Store orders over new-customer orders.

| Measured category, searches / mo (Keyword Planner, six territories) | 8,140 |
| With the long tail (x 1.35), searches / yr | 131,856 |
| Winnable organic clicks / yr (x 0.20) | 26,371 |
| Non-branded Australian buying-search clicks you win today, a year | 2,961 (11.2%) |
| Clicks in each 1% of the pool, a year | 264 |

| Each 1%: orders | 7.7 |
| Each 1%: gross revenue (at A$4.05 a click) | A$1,067 |
| Each 1%: net revenue, at your Shopify return rate of 1.7% | A$1,049 |
| Each 1%: new customers (89% of orders from new customers, Shopify) | 6.9 |
| Each 1%: three-year value of those new customers, projected (x 1.25) | A$1,184 |
Gross revenue in each case is the pool times the share times the conversion rate times the order value, multiplied on the unrounded inputs shown in this table. The mid case is 133 non-branded Online Store orders a year against 87 today. Three years at 25% above the first order sits below the 1.38 times a straight continuation of this year's repeat rate would give.
