It's not very often I get to write about customers who've been with us since 2018. I mean really, they've seen so many changes from Google and organic search in general they could probably write a book on it all. 

But now, as we enter the generation of LLM search results, there is still so much we don't know. But Michael from Mac-Case was kind enough to share some of their successes recently with JSON-LD for SEO and showing up in AI search results. 

Disclosure: Results may or may not be typical or what you can expect with your Shopify store. There are so many variables involved that it’s impossible to control any one of them for a specific result.

Take what’s said below as a more detailed review of JSON-LD for SEO, combine it with the App Store reviews, your own personal experience and draw your own conclusions.

Here's what Michael shared about his store showing up in AI Search Results in Q1 2026 thanks in part to JSON-LD for SEO. 

I’ve been using the JSON-LD app for many years. Every time I have had a question Ilana Davis has been there with a quick response. Over the last year or so we have been rigorously updating our site and product page, on-page content. As the content contained in the app has gained more and more importance regarding securing LLMs / AI citations, we gained access to the meta field where we could update and change the content as needed. This was a game changer for us, again with the help of Ilana. At the end of the first quarter of 2026 we started digging into the stats. Bing has reported that we received 8600 Microsoft Co-Pilot citations during the first 3 months of the year with the help of the JSON-LD app. Moreover, Ilana is one of the best people I have worked with in the nearly 30 years I’ve been involved in e-commerce. Support her. She’s one of the good ones.

Getting cited in Microsoft Co-Pilot and other LLMs is no easy feat, but Mac-Case has really made a great name for themselves. A strong SEO strategy over the years, coupled with JSON-LD for SEO for the last 8 years, has allowed Mac-Case to show up over 8600 times in Co-Pilot with 26 cited pages in just one quarter. 

Congrats Mac-Case on your success. I can only imagine what's in store for them going forward and I look forward to seeing their store continue to grow.

Though I would never promise results like this for you, JSON-LD for SEO has helped thousands of Shopify stores. Maybe it can help yours too!
