What to Do When AI Sends You a Visitor

What to Do When AI Sends You a Visitor. A Visibility Mesh infographic for ecommerce AI visibility.

A visitor sent by an assistant has already read the summary and clicked anyway. They are warm and specific. The worst thing you can do is make them start over.

By Margareta Petrovic, founder of Visibility Mesh. We measure how legible ecommerce stores are to AI, and publish what we find. Updated June 2026.
Key takeaways
  • AI-referred visitors arrive informed and intent-rich.
  • Confirm the answer fast, then remove friction to buy.
  • Match the page to the exact question that sent them.

Who is arriving

They were told something specific about your product and came to verify and buy. They do not need the full pitch again. They need the claim confirmed and a clear next step.

What to do

  • Open by confirming the fact AI used, price, fit, policy.
  • Show trust signals immediately, see trust signals that close the sale.
  • Cut steps to checkout. Do not bury the answer under a hero banner.
