# Rex Commerce®

> Rex Commerce® is the premium agentic-commerce tier of the AEO-REX service ladder — the UK's first end-to-end engagement that makes small businesses AI-discoverable, AI-recommended, and AI-conversion-ready across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Apple Intelligence. Operated by AEO-Rex Ltd, the UK's first dedicated Answer Engine Optimisation consultancy.

## Position in the AEO-REX service ladder

AEO-REX (https://aeo-rex.com) offers a service ladder of productised AEO services from £0 (Free AI Visibility Scan) through to mid-tier offerings around £447. Rex Commerce® is the premium tier of that ladder — the only end-to-end engagement that combines AEO, agent-discovery infrastructure (ACP/UCP feeds, capability profiles, merchant programme submissions), and AI-referrer conversion tracking in one fixed-fee package. SMEs typically start with a free AI Visibility Scan on aeo-rex.com, then progress to Rex Commerce when they're ready for the full agentic-commerce stack.

## What Rex Commerce includes

Three layers in one engagement:

- **Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)** — get cited inside AI answers (entity authority, citation seeding, third-party reinforcement)
- **Agent Discovery infrastructure** — get found by AI shopping agents (JSON-LD Product/Offer schema, ACP-compliant feeds, UCP capability profile, merchant programme submissions)
- **AI-referrer Conversion** — turn AI traffic into revenue (referrer-aware landing pages, server-side attribution, conversion intelligence)

## Who Rex Commerce is for

Any UK-registered business with a website and at least one product or service to promote. There is **no revenue minimum** — Rex Commerce® is priced specifically to be accessible to UK SMEs at any growth stage.

Best fit:
- UK SMEs on WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce, or a custom stack (not natively wired into Shopify/Etsy ACP/UCP)
- Service businesses that need to be recommended by AI assistants
- Brands that have already invested in SEO and are hitting diminishing returns
- Owners willing to invest 60–90 days for compounding returns

It is **not** for: businesses outside the UK (waitlisted for Q4 / Q1 2027 expansion), pre-product-market-fit companies, or anyone expecting overnight results without infrastructure work.

## Pricing

- **One-time setup:** £897 (full schema, ACP/UCP feeds, capability profile, merchant programme submissions, citation infrastructure)
- **Monthly retainer:** £197 per month (catalogue freshness, citation tracking across six AI assistants, continuous AI-ranking optimisation — cancel anytime)
- **Year-one total:** approximately £3,261 — comparable to a fractional employee, deliberately benchmarked against the AEO-REX parent service ladder so the work is accessible to SMEs not just established brands

The free AI Visibility Check (included with waitlist signup) confirms scope and fit before any spend.

## Cohort timing

- **Q3 2026 cohort:** 12 UK businesses, onboarding starts the first week of July 2026. Successful candidates notified within two weeks of waitlist closing.
- **Q4 2026 cohort:** provisionally mid-October.

## What you get (8 deliverables)

1. **Product Feed Engineering** — ACP + UCP-compliant, real-time inventory sync
2. **Schema & Entity Infrastructure** — JSON-LD Product, Offer, Organization, FAQ
3. **UCP Capability Profile** — hosted at /.well-known/ucp on your domain
4. **Merchant Programme Onboarding** — OpenAI ACP + Google UCP coalition
5. **Authority & Citation Seeding** — third-party mentions, entity reinforcement
6. **AI-Referrer CRO** — landing pages tuned for AI-referred buyers
7. **Server-Side Attribution** — see what's actually converting from AI
8. **Quarterly Strategy & Reporting** — direct access to Shanaz Begum and team

## Open standards Rex Commerce implements

OpenAI ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol), Google UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol), Stripe SPT, Schema.org, JSON-LD, plus integrations and visibility tracking against Anthropic Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Apple Intelligence.

## How it differs from SEO

SEO optimises for ten blue links. Rex Commerce optimises for AI agents that read structured data, follow open commerce protocols, and recommend brands by name. The two work together, but the buying decision now happens before the click.

## Why now

The entity associations forming inside AI engines right now are stickier than Google's were in 2003. The brands cited today become the defaults tomorrow. Waiting means displacing an incumbent later, at much greater cost than getting in early.
