Part of GEOly's "GEO / AEO Expert Watch" series · meet **Tanner Larsson**, a quick map of their public work and where to follow them — with links to the original sources.
Who is Tanner Larsson
Tanner Larsson is the founder and CEO of Build Grow Scale, an ecommerce optimization agency working with 7-8 figure Shopify and DTC brands on what it calls revenue optimization, a variation on conversion rate optimization. He is the author of Ecommerce Evolved and has been building and scaling online stores since 2001.
These experts look further ahead: as AI agents begin to compare, decide and even purchase for users, the entrance to commerce shifts from "humans clicking links" to "agents reading data." This is the layer after GEO. Their recurring focus areas include: Shopify Plus, Build Grow Scale, CRO.
What GEO / AEO practitioners can learn from Tanner Larsson
- **Product data becomes the fuel**: structured, accurate, machine-readable product information decides whether your items enter an agent’s consideration set. - **Trust and rules**: governance of payments, liability and authorization determines whether an agent dares transact with you on a user’s behalf. - **Agent Experience (AX)**: after UX, making AI agents understand and choose you efficiently becomes the new discipline.
**GEOly angle**: Follow him for systematic CRO and profitable-growth methods tuned to established, high-volume Shopify stores.
What it means for brands going global
For DTC and ecommerce brands going global, agentic commerce is both threat and opportunity: the sooner you shape product data, reviews and trust signals into a machine-readable, trustworthy form, the more likely you are to be chosen in agent-led shopping.
