How Qikink Became the Go-To Authority for Dropshipping & Print-on-Demand Queries in Google’s AI Overviews

About story
Qikink Story

Qikink is an Indian-based company specializing in print-on-demand and dropshipping services. They offer a wide range of customizable products including men’s, women’s, and kids’ clothing, accessories, and home & living items.

Identified Challenges

Qikink aimed to dominate Google’s AI Overviews (AIO) for critical queries like “Is dropshipping legal in India?” and “print-on-demand websites in India.” Despite offering reliable guides, their content was overshadowed by misinformation from unverified blogs and competing platforms (e.g., Shopify, fathershops).

Key challenges:

  • Misinformation Risks: Competing articles provided outdated GST and business registration guidelines, confusing entrepreneurs.
  • Low Authority Signals: Lack of legal citations and structured data reduced algorithmic trust.
  • SERP Fragmentation: Carousels, video packs, and ads diluted Qikink’s visibility for niche queries.
