The Challenge
In finance, being discoverable is not enough. The content has to be defensible.
Recurpay helps Shopify merchants run subscription billing and recurring payments — a category where buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to compare tools before ever visiting a website. Recurpay had a solid product, but no presence in those answers, and no technical foundation for AI engines to trust it as a credible fintech source.
The challenge was bigger than producing search-optimized copy. Payments content can influence real business decisions, so every product claim, comparison and statistic needed a reliable source, careful wording and accountable human review. The plan wasn't to publish broadly — it was to build authority around two high-intent topics without trading accuracy for speed: Shopify Subscription Apps and Shopify Recurring Payments.
The standard
Every material claim should be traceable, every source reviewable and every sensitive statement subject to human approval. AI helps accelerate the workflow; it does not replace accountability.
The Goal
Publish content Recurpay could stand behind—and earn citations for the two topics that matter most.
Pair a discoverable technical foundation with source-backed, fact-checked content for Shopify Subscription Apps and Shopify Recurring Payments. Then keep subject-matter experts in control and measure every citation, mention and AI referral session that follows.
How Indexly helped
Research, verify, approve, publish and keep every claim current.
Pillar 1
AI Readiness Audit
Before writing a word of content, we made sure search and AI engines could discover, interpret and attribute Recurpay's pages correctly. For a payments-adjacent product, the technical foundation had to make ownership, product information and site structure unambiguous.
- Added llms.txt with explicit allow rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended
- Shipped Organization, Product and FAQPage schema across core and pricing pages
- Fixed crawlability and content-depth gaps flagged by the audit's prioritized fix list
Pillar 2
Finance-grade research and editorial QA
Indexly treated every financial and product claim as something that should survive scrutiny. Each article moved through a documented research, verification and approval workflow before publication.
- Built evidence briefs from first-party product material, official Shopify documentation and other authoritative sources
- Verified product capabilities, processes, fees and statistics at the claim level, with sources retained for review
- Used balanced, compliance-aware language with no unsupported guarantees, invented claims or misleading certainty
- Kept a human approval gate so Recurpay's subject-matter experts could review sensitive claims before publishing
Pillar 3
Targeted Content Agents
Rather than publishing broadly, we focused Indexly's Content Agents on the two topics Shopify merchants actually ask AI about when evaluating subscription tools: Shopify Subscription Apps and Shopify Recurring Payments. The workflow combined AI-assisted production with editorial controls, never unsupervised publishing.
- GEO + AEO-optimized guides that answered the query clearly before introducing the product
- Definitions, comparisons and decision criteria structured for readers and answer engines
- Internal linking and schema tying both pillars back to Recurpay's core product pages
Pillar 4
AI visibility and hallucination monitoring
With the content live, Indexly tracked how Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and ChatGPT talk about Recurpay. Indexly's AI Hallucination Detection feature also checked factual claims in those answers against verified brand facts, helping the team catch incorrect, outdated or misattributed information and keep its AI presence accurate over time.
- Daily citation and mention tracking across Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and ChatGPT
- AI Hallucination Detection to flag inaccurate, outdated or misattributed claims about Recurpay
- AI referral traffic measured alongside Google Search performance in one dashboard
- A prioritized backlog for content refreshes and the next topics worth winning in Shopify commerce
Finance-grade editorial controls
Built for scrutiny, not just rankings.
The same workflow can adapt to a financial-services team's own subject-matter and compliance review process. Indexly accelerates the research and production work while preserving evidence, editorial judgment and final human control.
Primary-source research
Official documentation, first-party product material and credible industry sources form the evidence base.
Claim-level fact-checking
Material facts, numbers, product capabilities and comparisons are verified against the evidence brief.
Compliance-aware language
Copy avoids guarantees, unsubstantiated superiority and advice-like claims, with qualifications where needed.
Authoritative structure
Clear definitions, transparent methodology and useful decision criteria make expertise easy to evaluate.
Human approval gate
Nothing sensitive has to publish automatically; subject-matter, brand and compliance reviewers stay in control.
Freshness and traceability
Sources and claims can be revisited as products, regulations and market conditions change.
Indexly supports a company's editorial and compliance workflow; legal or regulatory approval remains with the company's authorized reviewers.
