The Shopify App to Track How Your Store Ranks in ChatGPT
When a shopper asks ChatGPT what to buy, it names a few stores. If you cannot see whether yours is one of them, you are flying blind on a channel that is quietly deciding who gets the sale. The good news: there is a Shopify app that tracks exactly how your store ranks in ChatGPT. It is called Shoptank, and here is how it works.
Key takeaways
- Shoptank is the Shopify app that tracks how your store ranks in ChatGPT shopping answers, per query.
- It shows whether you were mentioned, whether you were cited, your position, and who beat you.
- It charts your rank over time and tracks Claude, Perplexity and the Shopify Catalog too. Free to start.

Why track your ChatGPT ranking
A growing share of buyers ask an assistant what to buy instead of scrolling a list of links. ChatGPT answers with a short list of stores and products. If you are not on that list, the query never reaches you, and unlike a Google ranking you cannot just look it up. You have to run the question and read the answer. Tracking turns that into a number you can watch and improve, the same way you would watch a keyword ranking.
How Shoptank tracks it
You give Shoptank the real questions your buyers ask, such as best anti-chafe balm for runners. Shoptank runs each one against ChatGPT, reads the answer, and records whether your store was named, whether it was cited as a source, and where you placed.
That is the raw signal: is your store in the answer ChatGPT gives a real shopper, and how high.
What you see
Every query you track lands in one view. For each one, Shoptank shows whether you were mentioned, whether you were cited, and your position, across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and the Shopify Catalog. Green means you are in the answer. A number in Position means you have a rank to defend or improve, and you can see who is ahead of you.
It also charts the trend, so a fix you ship shows up as a query flipping from a competitor to you.
How to set it up
- Install Shoptank from the Shopify App Store and connect your store. The free plan tracks one query so you can see where you stand at no cost.
- Add your real buyer queries. Use the words shoppers actually type, not your product SKUs.
- Let it run. Shoptank checks each query against ChatGPT and records your position and whether you were cited.
- Read the result and the trend. See where you rank, who beat you, and whether you are climbing or slipping.
How to climb
Seeing the rank is step one. To move up, enrich your product data, fix your categories, add schema, and earn reviews. Shoptank turns each gap into a ranked fix.
