Updated Resources and core guides

The Resources page now links to the shipping-readiness guide alongside existing guides. The product-data guide adds an audit checklist and worked electronics, pets, and food-and-drink examples. The AEO guide explains OptAEO's score and how to use it to prioritise improvements.

Recognise product improvements still in your store

OptAEO reads back supported product markup and attributes that remain in Shopify after a reinstall. Recovery is checked before sync completes, so those existing improvements can be recognised without applying the same fixes again.

Docs / Help

A failed request no longer replaces a valid answer

If an engine is unavailable or a response cannot be analysed reliably, OptAEO keeps the previous valid answer. A successful response that does not mention your product is still recorded as “not mentioned”.

How AI shopping tests work

Protect confirmed fixes from older updates

Older Shopify updates no longer replace confirmed description, SEO and image-alt fixes in OptAEO when the incoming data predates those fixes. Newer changes made in Shopify can still sync normally.

Shipping readiness joins the 16-factor AEO model

OptAEO assesses estimated transit times and recorded free-shipping availability across each product's synced destinations. This is a readiness check, not a delivery quote or an AI engine's ranking.

Shipping readiness guide

Continue from where you left off

Signed-in calls to action take account of your setup. Continue connecting a store, choose a store or return to your dashboard.

Faster navigation on mobile

Every section is a single swipe away on phones. The sidebar collapses into a horizontal tab strip pinned to the top of the screen.

Daylight-savings-aware timezones

Your timezone offset on Settings now respects DST automatically — no manual switching twice a year.

Clearer status on Connect buttons

Connect buttons that are still on the roadmap now tell you what's coming next, instead of failing silently.

Richer fixes across more fields

Fix suggestions cover meta titles, meta descriptions and image alt text, alongside descriptions, attributes and structured product data.

Structured product data with FAQs

Generate Product structured data and FAQ suggestions from your product information. Review the facts and check the published result against your product page.

Structured data and LLMs guide

GTIN lookup suggestions

Review available barcode suggestions for products with missing identifiers. Check that a number belongs to the exact product and variant before applying it.

GTINs, barcodes, and AI shopping agents

Compare fixes before writing

OptAEO compares proposed fixes with existing data and skips unchanged suggestions or changes that do not pass its field-specific checks. Review the proposed facts before applying a fix.

Product checks and competitive evidence

OptAEO combines product-data readiness checks with eligible competitive evidence. The score is not an AI engine's own ranking, and Simulation results do not automatically change it.

Auto-Pilot - scheduled fixes

Set a schedule and choose the fix types you want Auto-Pilot to apply. Review the run results and any issues that still need attention.

MCP Access for supported AI tools

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor or VS Code using your OptAEO MCP key. Business includes product, score and scan tools. Enterprise also includes fix and agent actions.

MCP setup guide

Preview what's behind the paywall

Plan-gated features now show a teaser of what you'd unlock so you can see exactly what an upgrade gets you.

Run the agent on demand

A new button on the Fixes page lets you trigger the agent immediately, without waiting for the next scheduled run.

Last-synced + Sync now on the dashboard

See when your catalog last synced and pull the latest in one click without leaving the dashboard.

Accurate Fixes-Available count

The count on the dashboard now matches the queue on the Fixes page exactly.

Agent Mode goes live

The agent that powers Auto-Pilot, the in-app Run-now button, and external triggers ships end-to-end. Same agent, three ways to start it.

Citation tracking from simulation queries

See which products are mentioned in the AI answers returned by OptAEO's simulation queries. Results describe the queries tested, not every shopper's conversation.

AI shopping agents guide

Google Merchant Center validation

Check product-data issues relevant to Google Merchant Center, then review available suggestions and outstanding gaps. OptAEO's checks do not establish Google's approval of a product or feed.

Protocol compliance

Review product markup, discovery files and supported commerce-readiness checks separately. Available checks and results depend on your platform and connection.

Protocols, product facts, and how agents route to your store

Revenue attribution

Connect Google Analytics to review recorded traffic and revenue. Attribution helps describe where visits came from; it does not establish that changing an AEO score caused a sale.

AEO scoring

Review OptAEO's 0-100 product-readiness score across product data and the signals it measures. Use the breakdown to identify gaps; it is not a ranking issued by an AI service.

Bulk fixes

Apply AI-generated fixes to hundreds of products at once. Preview every change before it touches your store.

Agent simulation

See how AI shopping agents read your product listings. Test before you ship.

AI product data remediation

AI-generated suggestions help improve descriptions, meta content, image alt text and FAQ content. Review proposed facts before applying a change.

Launch

Connect your Shopify store, scan your catalogue and review the product-data issues OptAEO finds.
