Printcart: Recommended by AI, but Split Across Two Domains
By the Leadee team at Netbase JSC · Updated
Printcart, a Netbase JSC site, is one of only two of the 7 Netbase sites AI recommends to buyers who have not named a brand: 18% of unbranded US questions (7 of 40) and 36% of all US questions (19 of 52), average position 2.0. Market players Zakeke, Customily and Teeinblue are still named more. Answers are built mostly from apps.shopify.com (120 citations). One structural problem stands out: solution.printcart.com, a legacy Joomla marketplace, was cited twice as often as printcart.com (60 vs. 27 times), splitting the entity in two. This is a baseline; Netbase has not yet shipped the fix plan below.
About this measurement
Netbase JSC owns Printcart. This page is Netbase measuring its own site with its own product, not an independent audit.
This is a baseline measurement, not a result. Netbase JSC's own sites have not shipped the fix plan below yet — the earliest honest re-measurement is about four weeks after each site does, using the same prompts and engines. Nothing on this page claims an improvement.
- Perplexity sonar: n=3 per prompt, full sample
- Google AI Mode (via DataForSEO): n=3 per prompt, full sample
- OpenAI gpt-5 + web search: only 4 runs reached Printcart — the whole dogfood round stopped at 25 runs across all 7 sites because the OpenAI account ran out of credit

What AI actually said
Google AI Mode (DataForSEO) — prompt: “Customily vs Zakeke vs Teeinblue which is best for personalized products”
complex photo-to-print catalogs, and Zakeke is best for 3D product configuration, AR (augmented reality), and virtual try-ons…
Google AI Mode (DataForSEO) — prompt: “Customily vs Zakeke vs Teeinblue which is best for personalized products”
They all allow live previews and automated print-ready file generation, but they were built for slightly different users…
What we will change
Optimize the Shopify App Store listing
1 weekName, description, screenshots and reviews — this is the single most-cited source for every Shopify customizer prompt.
Merge the split entity
2 weeksPoint solution.printcart.com clearly back at printcart.com (canonical, sameAs, an "Official site" link) so AI stops treating them as two different companies.
Add schema.org Organization + SoftwareApplication markup
nextCover the Shopify/Wix/WooCommerce apps and pricing on printcart.com; add dateModified to the 11 pages missing one.
Publish honest comparison pages
next"Printcart vs Zakeke / Customily / Teeinblue / Kickflip" and "Zakeke alternatives."
Add UK-specific content
nextA page or case study for UK print-on-demand sellers, and a presence on g2.com, the UK-cited source.
Cut TTFB and fix llms.txt formatting
laterServer response is 1.9 seconds; llms.txt link lines need the standard format.
Questions
Why is the Printcart entity split across two domains?
solution.printcart.com, a legacy Joomla marketplace, was cited twice as often as printcart.com (60 vs. 27 times) in this measurement. Without a clear canonical/sameAs link between the two, AI engines have no strong signal that they are the same company.
Is this an independent audit of Printcart?
No. Netbase JSC owns Printcart, and this measurement was run by Netbase using its own Leadee product. See "Conflict of interest" above.
When will Printcart be re-measured?
About four weeks after Printcart ships the fix plan above, using the same 12 prompts (8 US, 4 UK) and the same engines, so the before/after comparison is statistically meaningful.
Can GEO guarantee results?
No. AI answer engines change their output frequently, and no vendor — including Leadee — can guarantee a ranking or a mention. Leadee publishes confidence intervals on every metric so you can see how much a result can vary run to run.
How does Leadee measure AI visibility?
Leadee runs your prompt set against each AI engine on a weekly to daily schedule, depending on plan, through official vendor APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, Anthropic, DataForSEO) — never by scraping consumer chat interfaces — and reports mention rate, citation rate, average position, share of voice and sentiment with a 95% confidence interval.
