About this collection
Turnkey Shopify themes for merchants who want AI search visibility from day one. Each theme ships with our complete optimization stack pre-installed — Schema-Stitch architecture, AI crawler whitelisting, llms.txt support, Answer Capsules — plus documented setup and lifetime updates. No manual schema work. No code required.
What's inside every theme
Schema-Stitch architecture
Six core schemas (Organization, WebSite, BreadcrumbList, Product, Article, FAQPage) linked through shared @id identifiers in one @graph array. Server-rendered, never JavaScript-injected.
Why it matters: AI engines walk the graph as a connected entity, not isolated fragments.
llms.txt + AI crawlers
Custom /pages/llms-txt template with auto-populated product catalog, complementing Shopify's native May 2026 endpoint. Custom templates/robots.txt.liquid whitelists 12 AI crawlers.
Why it matters: Explicit allow-list beats default. Time-to-citation drops from 60+ days to 7-14.
Answer Capsules everywhere
Every page template ships with Answer Capsule slots — product pages, collections, articles. 18 metafield definitions pre-configured with storefront PUBLIC_READ access.
Why it matters: AI engines lift extractable capsules nearly verbatim into their answers.

Who Cited Theme is for
Turnkey merchants (best fit)
Established stores doing $30k-$100k monthly, validated product-market fit, ready to swap themes once for a 24-month payoff. No internal dev team required.
Agencies deploying for clients
Shopify Partners managing 5+ client stores. Cited Theme installs in 2-3 hours per client, ships with full documentation. White-label rights available.
Existing Dawn/Horizon stores upgrading
Stores currently on Shopify default themes who want comprehensive AI search architecture without ripping out their existing setup piece-by-piece.
Cited Theme is currently in pre-order. Pre-order pricing locks the rate — once launched publicly, pricing increases to reflect full feature set. Pre-order buyers also receive 60-day priority email support and access to the private launch Slack.
If you have a senior developer on the team and want full code control, our AI-Ready Kit Pro ($199) gives you the same architecture as snippets to install on your existing theme. If you run an agency under 10 people, start with the Notion Agency OS bundle ($199) to clean up internal operations first.
