About Us | StoreRank.ai – AI Visibility for Shopify Stores

About Us

We've scaled ecommerce before. Now we're building for what's next.

StoreRank.ai helps your Shopify store get discovered and recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.

Why we exist

Shoppable does not equal recommended. AI assistants are the new storefront, and the stores they cite are the stores that get bought from. We started StoreRank.ai because we kept watching great products lose to worse ones with better AI visibility.

AI search is the next growth engine

Merchants who optimize early compound their visibility for years. The ones who wait become invisible by the time they catch on.

Every shopper deserves the right answer

When someone asks an AI for “the best running shoes for flat feet,” the answer should reflect quality, not whoever spent the most on SEO ten years ago.

Our Leadership

We cut our teeth building, marketing, and selling ecommerce tools. We know the manual grind because we’ve lived it.

Founder & CEO

Tom van den Heuvel

I’ve spent the last 13 years building and scaling SaaS for ecommerce.

As CMO at Sendcloud, I helped grow the company from early-stage to over $50M ARR across 7 countries. I founded Dealify, a deals platform for ecommerce founders, and grew it to multi-million in revenue before exiting in 2022. Today I’m also fractional CMO at wetracked.io, where I helped take the product from launch to $10M+ ARR.

StoreRank.ai is where I’m putting all of that to work. I’ve felt the pain of acquiring traffic the hard way, and I’m convinced AI search is the biggest shift in ecommerce discovery since Google. We’re building the tools I wish I’d had at every stage of my career.

Lead Engineer

Justin Nguyen

I’ve been a Shopify Partner and developer for 8+ years. I’ve built apps used by thousands of merchants and shipped plugins with over 100 five-star reviews.

My focus is making the complex stuff (API integrations, structured data, schema, crawler access) feel simple inside Shopify. Code that runs reliably on real stores, not just demos.

The team behind these companies is now building StoreRank
