The problem it solves

Manually linking related blog posts to keep readers on your site is tedious and easy to let slide as your content library grows. Without it, visitors read one post and leave instead of exploring more of your content.

Who it fits

Shopify store owners and content teams who want better internal linking without doing it by hand.

How it works

  1. On a weekly schedule, the automation pulls every published article from your Shopify blog.
  2. Each article's text is converted into an AI embedding to capture its meaning.
  3. Articles are compared to each other to find the closest topic matches.
  4. The three most relevant related articles are placed at the bottom of each post automatically.
What you get

Readers who stay for one more article

Your blog visitors find more relevant articles to read on every post, keeping them on your site longer.

What you get

Updated Shopify blog posts, each with an automatically generated related articles section.

What you need

A Shopify store with Admin API access and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
